A TWICE TOLD TALE


Good news bears repeating, and
when i. is confirmed after long lapse
of time, even if we hesitated to be-
lieve it at first hearing, we feel Sc
cure in accepting its truth now. The
following experience of Viroqua wo-
man is confirmed after five years.
Mrs. w. Small, 51S S. Rusk Ave,
Viroqua, says: Il had had dull back
aches and was bothered with rheuma-
tic and kidney trouble. My kidneys
acted irregularly and these complaints
gave me very much annoyance. used
Doan's Kidney Pills and received great
reliefand i can say they are all right.
statement given Aug. "a, 1879
LATER TESTIMONY. =. =.
On November 26, 1917, Mrs. Small
said: "Since / have taken Doan's
Kidney Pills and know their merit,
l am safe in praising them. My health
has been fine and l have experienced
very little backache since using them
at former time"

simply ask for a kidney remedy-get

Get That Pure Bred Bull

One farmer told me the other day
he only had a grade bull, and he did
not want me to look at him because
he was too much of scrub. He is
looking for a pure bred bull. He has
the right idea and it is the correct
idea for every farmer who does not
have a pure bred bull at the head of
the herd.
1t is profit, after all, that we are
looking for whether it be in mills
checks or money for weight across the
scales, the pure bred bull will never
fail to increase your profits under the
average farm condition.

on the left and I knew that Berry's

most unbearable if it had not been for
one or two reassuring messages from

GIVE EN- HE'LL, BOYS.
TINE morning of June found us
holding the shortened line that
l have just described, with
Berry's battalion OF the Fifth and Hol-
combs of the Sixth in front and
Sibley's of the Sixth in immediate sup
port. That something was going on
within those threatening woods we
knew, for our intelligence men were
not idle. The report on this morning
was to the effect that the Germans
We're organizing in the woods and
were consolidating their machine gun
positions, so that a sortie in force
seemed not unlikely.
AS a matter of fact, we had been
prepared for something of the sort for
nearly two days On the night of the
fourth Lieut., Eddy. the intelligence Of
flcer of the Sixth, with two men stole
through the German lines and pene-
trated the enemy country almost as
far as Torcy. They lay in a clover
field near the road and watched the
Germans filing past them. They lis
tened to the talk and observed what
was going into the woods.
II was a risky thing TO do, but they
brought back valuable information.

CHAPTER VI. CONTINUED.

\A/ mystery of Belleau Wood.
Berry on the west and Hol-
comb on the south. That the wood
was strongly held We knew, and so
we waited.
1t was rolling country. with small
woods scattered all about and farm
land between. From many Of the
little hills good view could be OBJ
tanned OF a considerable eXpanse Of
beautiful pastoral landscape.
OF these woods Belleau was the
largest, being about two kilometers
from north TO south and something
over a kilometer from east to west.
A llilometer is about three -fifths of
n mile. 1t was, therefore, not a large
forest, but It doomed up before us
like heavy, menacinG frown in the
landscape. 1t was a typical piece of
we'll kept French woodland, which the
foresters had thinned and cared for
so that the timber was of fairly uni
form size and the underbrush fairly
we'll cleaned out inside. At the edges
there was some underground and
smaller trees and saplings.
The timber WA not large but grew
very thickly. The trees were rather
tall. I should say they would not
average more than five or six inches
in diameter, but they were set so
closely that when our men got In
they found they coulo -ee not more
than fifteen or twenty feet through
the wood except where axe or shell
fire had made small clearings. BellealI
Wood stood on high. rocky ground
and hid innumerable gullies and boul-
der heaps.
We We're nearer to the woods on the
south than on the west, and on both
sides open wheat fields lay between our
lines and the forest. From without It
appeared almost impenetrable, and
there We're those open spaces to cross.
Behind us lay the smaller woods where
our own reserves were waiting.
All through June We wailsS with
nothing of moment occurring save in
creasing artillery fire on both sides,
The sound of it was at times deafening.
To this day l do not know why the
Germans did not attempt a sortie.
AS a matter of history. they never
did come out for on the following day
the Marines went in.

"A GAJOR BURTON VILLAS
vi SHELLEY is one Of the most
picturesque characters in the
Marine Corps. He is a short, swarthy
man, wlry and of great endurance.
His men loved him and would follow
him everywhere. He is as active as a
boy, and 1t was he who, on foot and
lighting as desperately as any of them.
personally led those two companies
of Marines into the death haunted
labyrinth of Belleau Wood. Stanch
veteran of Marines that he is, he de-
serves all the praise that can he
heaped upon him for that night
work.
The minute they got into the woods
our boys found themselves in a per
feet hornets nest OF machine gunners,
grenadiers and rihemen. No one
could have realized how strong the
onemy's position there was, or ! do
not believe that we would have been
ordered in without more adequate ar
tillery preparation. There were ma
chine gun nests everywhere--on every
hillock and small plateau in every ra-
vine and pocket, amid heaps OF rocks,
behind piles OF cut timber and even in
the trees.
These German guns in the wood
were well placed 10 cover all zones
with both lateral and plunging fire.
But the marines never faltered. They
attacked those nests with rifles, auto
mates, grenades and bayonets. In
small groups. even singly. they
charged the machine gun crews and
their infantry supports with wildcat
ferocity, fighting like fends till the
hands and bleated "Kamerad" Then
they rushed on to the next one.
Amid Machine Gun Nests.
The most effective method was TO
run 10 the rear of each gun in turn
and overpower the crew. But each
thanking position was covered by an
other gun which had to be taken i'm
mediately. 1t was a furious dash from
nest to nest, with no time to stop for
breath. In the thick of the melee the
wild yells of the Marines were mingled
with the constant crackle of rife fire
like punches Of firecrackers eXplod
ing.
Through the smoke of battle that
drifted like fog among the tree trunks,
Sibley kept to his course across the
southern section of the wood. There
was dense brush in spots, where men
got lost and found themselves iso-
lated -snd cut off from their squads.
The wounded dragged themselves to
thickets and depressions-any place
where they could hide from those pry-
ing bullets and wait till there was time
for some one to carry them out. They
were short Of water and the suffering

Our men," added Corporal John Miles,
went after them with fixed bayonets,
and drove them as fellow drives a
flock of chickens"
The action was all in the hands OF
the platoon officers. Success or failure
rested on their shoulders. It is not
the General who wins such battle as
that, but the Captain, the sergeant,
the private.
The sun., 1919-03-09
Fighting in Indian style.

E1ShtlnS IN lnO1nn style.
1t had been called an exaggerated
riot, that desperate conflict in the wood.
1t was hand to hand fighting from the
first. and those Germans, hating cold
steel as they do soon learned what
American muscle and determination
are like. From tree to tree fought our
Marines, from rock to rock, like the
wild Indians of their native land. 1t
is the sort of fighting the Marine has
always gloried In. And in that fight
ing they beat the Germans on two
points-initiative and daring, and ac-
curacy of rifle fire. They picked the
German gunners out of the trees like
squirrels, and in the innumerable fierce
onslaughts that took place at the ma
chine gun nests the Marines always
struck the first blow and It was usually
a knockout 1t was a wild, tempestu-
Gus, rough and tumble scrap, with no
quarter asked or given. Rifles grew
hot from constant firing and baSonets
reeked with German gore. 1t was
man to man, there in the dark recesses
of the woods, with no gallery to cheer
the gladiators, and it was the best
man that won.
The thick woods made the fighting a
matter OF constant ambuscades and
nerve racking surprises, but the Ma
rines tore on. With Sibley at their
head nothing could stop them. Ma
chine gun nests whose crews held out
formed little islands in the welter
about which the Marine flood swept,
eventually to engulf them. Some Of
the Germans turned and fled abau-
