New York, January 13.-Major o.
J. Duane of the Eighth anti aircraft
sector, whose home is in st. Peter,
Mimi, was among the 1,64S soldiers
who arrived in New York yesterday
on two transports. Major Duane, who
is a Spanish American war veteran,
saw service as observer and was gas
sed twice, but, according to brother
officers, did not bother the doctor
about it," He has nearly recovered.
The anti aircraft gunners will de-
bark tomorrow morning and entrain
for Camp Mills, Long Island. From
there they will probably be sent to
Fort Smelling for rehabilitation, Major
Duane said.
Duane Was Fortunate.
Major Duane was more fortunate
than his command. He was sent to
the front with the Second anti-a air
craft battalion in October and took
part in the fighting in the Argonne
forest
1T was sure hell up there, but
wouldn't have missed it for the world.
/ was slightly gassed on Nov. z. but
not enough to worry about, and feel
pretty good now" said the major.
From other officers it was learned
that Major Duane, who is editor of
newspaper at st. Peter, and who was
major in the old Second Minnesota
infantry, was iE advance of his men
leading them into action, when he was
knocked out by phosiene gas. He con-
tinued to stay in the fighting, how
ever, until he collapsed There were
over 1900 troops on the Seattle and
Major Duane was in command of
them all.
Return in Fine Shape.
You can tell the people of Mime
sofa that we're bringing their boys
back in fine shape" said the major to
correspondent. The influenza hit us
in October. We lost one officer and
five men. Three of the men who died
were from Minnesota"
One week before the armistice was
signed the Minnesota outfit was or
dered to sector of the front opposite
Metz. The men were destined to take
part in the drive Pershing had plan
ned against the great German fortress.
Most of the time the battalion was in
training area near the famous old city
of Langres. The Minnesota boys were
frequently bombed at night by German
air raiders, but did not get shot at
Them as Langres was defended by
another anti-aircraft outfit.

knew his arm was off and that he was
badly wounded and very weak. but did
