TROPH|ESO Of WAR
RARE SPECIMENS
Capt. Pagan, U. S. M. G.,
Prizes Highly Empty Bottle
of Vintage of 1912.

War trophies of more than ordinary
interest will be displayed in a window
of B. Lowenstein & Bros, Inc, during
ing office of the United States marine
corps, This display Is unusual in that
1t contains some articles that are not
as common sights as the German he'll
NETS. The collection will also include
a sextant used during revolutionary
days and trophies of several Haitian in
surrections. The entire collection is
the personal property of Capt, Louis
E. Pagan, officer in charge of the ma
rine recruiting office.
In addition to the usual collection Of
artillery, infantry and snipers' helmets
worn by German soldiers may be seen
one of the now famous saw-tooth bayo-
nets, medicine case, cartridge cases,
cavalry bugle, saddle bags and cloths,
two highly decorated shell cases from
| the famous French 75's and other in
terestlng trophies Of the world war.
One OF the most interesting trophies
in the collection, however, Is a plain
glass bottle-empty. This bottle has
a history and Capt. Pagan r%ejoices in
relating it.
During the year 1850 a certain gentle
man of Spain filled the bottle with a
very fine grade of Spanish port wine
and sold it to a French political exile
who had erected a very fine chateau
in Luxembourg, In the Franco-P russlan
war of 1870 the owner of the chateau
was granted amnesty and later died
at the head of his troops.
Since that time the chateau has
changed hands several times, being
owned by various Belgian counts. AT
the conclusion of hostilities last year
a priest living in the little town in
Luxembourg where the chateau Is To-
Gated negotiated the purchase Of 25C
bottles of the wine remaining In the
cellar of this chateau, the price being
approximately eight cents per bottle
When the American army of occupa-
ton moved forward the officers Of the
Sixth marines were billeted in this cha
teau, They reached there in time fol
a Thanksgiving celebration, and 6
brother Of the priest who had pur-
chased the wine from the former owner

occasion,
Capt. Pagan Is authority for the state
ment that the wine was of the yer.

gan retained the empty bottle as {

The materials used in making up tn

Of the very finest, particularly tha
