ARTHUR F. BRANDT,
Corporal, &C. (, 1esth Infantry.

Corporal, &C. (, 16eth Infantry.
Corporal Brandt, whose home was
with his mother, Mrs. w. F. Brandt at
Postville, Iowa, won the Distinguished
Service Cross for conspicuous bravery
in action northeast of verdun, France,
October 16, 1918. After his company
had been in action three days. during
the attack on the Cote de Chatillon
and was to be relieved, Corporal
Brandt volunteered to guide the COM
pany to position of security in the
rear which he had selected. While
the relief was being made under shell
fire, this soldier and four others were
severely wounded by bursting she'll.
Realizing that his wound would prove
fatal, Corporal Brandt while being car
ried on stretcher indicated the route
to be taken by the company, being
wounded in the face and scarcely able
to talk. Through his extraordinary
fortitude and will power, the company
was able to reach it's position over
difficult terrain and under enemy fire.
Corporal Brandt died from his wounds
the next day.

rested in my berth for long time,
staring blankly up at the dark deck
above, unable to sleep, and endeavor-
ing to figure out the true meaning of
all these occurrences. l felt that I
could understand the interest exhib-
tied by Dorothy Fairfax, and, greatly
as / already admired her, was not
egotist enough to even imagine that
her effort to serve me had basis in any
personal attraction. But what about
Lieutenant Sanchez? Why was this
unknown Spaniard already so openly
my enemy? Could it be because of
Dorothy Fairfax? / felt finally that I
had the clue-jealousy, the mad, un-
reasoning jealousy of his race.
had no false conception as to this;
no vagrant thought that her interest
in me was any more than a passing
fancy, born of sympathy and de-
sire to aid. Nevertheless, as she had
thus already served me, now owed
her service in return, and here was the
first cali. If conditions made it pos
sible it WAS my plain duty to place
myself between these two.

at is not so strange then, is it, that
I should have felt interested in you?'
she asked suddenly, as though justify
ing herself. "When Uncle Roger first
told me who you We're, and then ex-
planned what had occurred at your
trial, naturally you became to me
something entirely different from the
others. Were you actually with Mon
mOuth?"
''In sympathy, yes; but L had no
hand in the actual fighting. 1 was not
even ashore until it was all over with.
Still I shall pay my share of the bill"
"And you know what that means,
do you not? What will happen when
We reach Virginia?"
Perfectly; I have no illusions. I
have seen just such ships as this come
in. We are to be advertised, and sold
to the highest bidder. 4 week from
now I shall probably be out in the
tobacco fields, under the whip of an
Overseer, who will call me Jeff. All
can hope for lis a kind-hearted master,
and an early opportunity to escape"
'Oh, mol" and in her eagerness her
hands actually clasped mine. sit is
not going to be quite so bad as that.
That is what l wanted to tell you.
That is what gave me bOldness to

going to be sold on the block with

services. You are going north with us

GEORGE S. RoBB,
First Lieutenant, s6eth Infantry.


For conspicuous gal4antry, beyond
the call of duty, near Sechault, France,
September % and 80, Lieut.. Robb
was awarded the Distinguished Serv-
ice Cross. Vile leading his platoon
in the assault On Sechault, Lieut.. Robb
was severely wounded by machine gun
fire, but rather than go to the rear for
proper treatment, he remained with
his platoon, until ordered to the dress
ing station by his commanding off
Ger. Returning within fOrty-five min
utes, he remained on duty throughout
the entire night, inspecting his lines
and establishing outposts. Early the
next morning he was again wounded,
once again displaying remarkable de-
votion to duty by remaining in COM
mand of his platoon. Later the same
day bursting shell added two more
wounds, the same shell killing his
commanding officer and two officers
of his company. He then assumed
command of his company and organ
lied it's position in the trenches. Dis
playing wonderful courage and te-
nacity at the critical times, he was
the only officer of his battalion who
advanced beyond the town and by
clearing machine, gun and sniping
posts, contributed largely to the aid
of his battalion in holding their OBJ
jective. His example of bravery and
fortitude and his eagerness to con-
tinue with his mission despite severe
wounds, set before the enlisted men
of his command a most wonderful,
standard of morale and self-sacrifice.
Lieut.. Robb's home address is 30S
South Twelfth street, Salina, Kan,
where his mother lives.
