rived home last evening, having lust

many experiences even different from
the average soldier who went through
the 81. Mihiel fight and then into the
heavier actions in the Argonne for

One Of his experiences rather out of
the usual was when he with four 9th.

German prisoners to the rear. As they
approached the American lines, they
passeSa machine gun nest of Amem
cans who opened up on them before
a signal could be given. There was
nothing to do but lay flat on the
ground until the American machine
gunncrs had done the proper thing tC
what they thought was a bunch Of
Germans coming to an attack.
All did lay flat, even the German,
along with the escort of five. but by
the time the American gunners got
through, there was but II Germans
alive and Mr.. Mangis the only one OF
the Americans who escaped. When
they discovered that even by laying
close to the ground they were sure to
be killed, the remaining IL Germans
and Mr.. Mangis broke for the lee side
Of a hill. He says there was no fight
left in his II German prisoners and
they were glad to be taken back by
the one American.
Although he went through all the
severe fighting, Mr.. Mangis managed
to get through with but one wound
This happened when he was near a
mine that exploded A small rock wa:
impedded in his knee and he found il
necessary to remain in a hospital three
months before Ding back into the ser

With 100 Americans he was two
