saw my captain go down and
/ went out to get him." That's
the way Sgt. Charles M. Tarter,
of Adair County, KY, now at
Camp Taylor, puts it, but the
attorney General, who gave him
the American cross for valor, de-
scribes the act somewhat differ.
emily. Tarter's citation reads:
"This Office has been advised
by the commanding general,
American expeditionary forces,
that he has awarded the distin-
9uished service cross to Charles
ID. Tarter, Company /, 23d In

officer lying curled up where he
had gone down.
-Four other men started when

''but they were killed before
they got to the captain. One
was a bugler and one was a pri-
vate. don't know the others.
But they were given the cross
when / was in the hospital at
Raleigh, N. j."
The American cross is a beau
tifully-made old gold cross, with
the eagle, with spread wings,
poised in the center. 1t is pin
ned to the coat by a red, white
and blue ribbon. Sergeant Tar
ter wears the only one to be
seen at Camp Taylor.
Tarter saw action at Verdun
and Chateau Thierry before the
day at Vaux, when lightweight
men of his regiment were killed
and wounded in less than thirty
minutes.
1--WE had gone over" said
Tarter, "and we were down in
shell holes, the machice gun fire
was so hot. There was a patch
of woods ahead of US where the
guns were hidden, and one was
up in a tree. Well, the captain
started forward and he went
down. l went out to get him.
1t wasn't far, but the guns were
so close, the bullets were going
thru the air at about shoulder
height. Eight went thru my
raincoat strapped in a bundle
above my soulders. Others went
thru my clothes and just about
tore them off. Then one hit me
in the elbow. didn't go down,
but when I got to the captain ]

ried him back"
Tarter has not been able to gel
in touch with his captain, Charles
E. Moore, but he has recently
found out his address and has
written him.
The luck that saved Tarter's
life July 1 was with him on an.
other occasion when he was in
action.
II don't like to brag," said
Tarter. "but had another close
call. 1t was when we were uE
in the front line. A shell came
over and landed about six feet
away. 1t didn't go off. I'll say
it's luck"
1t is probable that Tarter viii
undergo another operation at the
base hospital in few days. The
elbow, sot by the machine gun
bullet, is now stiff, and the hanC
cannot be brought as high as TIT

which seem to have been laid
out along the wild boar trails |
that once led up and down the
valley, and sometimes down to
the Nose. The houses are of
stone, mostly three stored af-
fairs and as usual besides being
the residence of the family
sometimes several families
shelters the livestock as well.
The town has a population of e.
100, but when compared with a
like municipality in America it
is not in the same class. The
stores are few and are run as
side issues only. There isn't a
bank in the town, nor a restau-
rant, and the wine rooms even
are scarce.
The people for the. most part
are interested in the grape-grow-
ing industry. For ten months
in the year they labor in the
nearby vineyards, which for the
most part cling to the steep
mountain sides. With a basket
strapped on his back the German
farmer carries up great loads of
manure or crushed shole for his
grape-vines.
The city streets are narrow
and high walled on either side.
They are paved with square
blocks of stone and when troops
march by in their heavy hob
nail shoes, or the populace fill
the street each morning on their
way to church, the sound echoes
and re-echoes into a mighty vol
ume.
The people present a well-fed,
well-dressed appearance. The
German army uniform is COM
mon and the little round caps
with red bands are seen every
where. Every urchin on the
street seems to have acquired
one. There has never been any
evidence of hostility toward us
rather has it been hospitality.
The Rhineland seems as pleased
to have us as if we were friends
instead of conquerors.
The children are innumerable,
intellectually noisy, and our great
est admirers. Everything we
do is full of interest to them.
AS we march along they follow
in our train. We are great
circus showing every day, rain
or shine; and they attend rain
or shine. The Major grows
nightly peeved when our audi
ence grows too numerous.
Our stay here is indefinite.
Our departure for home may be
a matter of days, may be months.
We are all impatiently waiting
