EXPERIENCES AT FRONT.
ALWAYS EXTENDED GLAD HAND
Columbia Soldier Returned From
France says American Army Broke
Morale of the Boche and Started
the Germans Running.

CAMP GORDON, Ga. Jan. 23--
Eight months of action overseas on
unattached service as member of an
ammunition and supply train was the
lot of Sergeant Harris G. Morton, OF
Columbia, Tenn, son of Rev. w. S.
Morton, a minister of that city, and a
nephew of Prof. W. S. Morton, super.
intendent of schools at Gallatin, Tenn,
who is now at Camp Gordon, Atlanta,
Ca, awaiting his discharge from ser.
vice.
Sergeant Morton was for some time
at the front in the terrific fighting at
Chateau Thierry and he personally
witnessed the great reverse at the
hands of the Americans that started
the Germans fast on their way to de-
feat.
''The work of the Americans at Cha
teau Thierry was the most impressive
and wonderful thing in the world" he
stated at Camp Gordon. "The entire
American army moved like clock-work,
and our boys literally refused to be
stopped
1T was the American army that
broke the morale and spirit of the
Boche and nothing else" he continued.
"The Germans literally learned to run
as soon as the 'Yanks' started toward
them"
Sergeant Morton was only recently
shifted from overseas to Camp Cor
don. He has already filed his appli-
cation for discharge, and is expected
to leave the service in a very short
time.
Tho Y. NJ. C. A. did great work in
France" he stated, "and the organiza-
tion deserves great credit for its
achievements. Every time | saw a
~ man he gave me the glad hand
shake, frequently some tobacco or
chocolate, and made me feel as If had
met an old friend"
