LOST IN INVITATION MEET.
But Track Coach Predicts Better
Results at Manhattan.

Abilene took only fifth place in the
invitation meet at Lawrence Satur-
day. Winfield took first, Kansas
City second, Wichita third and OF
tawa fourth, and there were twelve
entries The track was muddy and
the men were over trained and ner-
vous, according to c. w. Wheeler,
coach. The conditions were alto
gether unfavorable for the Abilene
team as some OF the men had played
baseball at Manhattan the day be-
fore and only Thursday they had run
in the Fifth district meet.
However, the men will be In better
for the State meet to be
held at Manhattan the end of this
week and II is the winning Of that
meet that determines the possession
Of the loving cup for another year.
The added incentive Of maintaining
the state championship and little
more rest for the members of the
team is expected to bring victory to-
Abilene again this year.

TELLS OF THE 10Th INFANTRY.
Lieut.. J. w. Mechanical Dives Ae-
count Of the Experiences.


The following story Of the 139th
Infantry was told In the Topeka
Capital by Lieut. ]. w. MeManigal,
formerly OF Company IL:
The 139th Infantry is composed of
the old Fourth Missouri and Third
Kansas National Guard regiments.
The Fourth Missouri is an old regi-
ment, which saw service on the Mexi-
can border in 1915 and 1917, and re-
entered United States service only Il
few weeks after being mustered out
from border service The Third Kan
sas was organized after the United
States entered the war, under com
mand of Col Willie d. McRowan, and
several of the officers were members
of Funstons Twentieth Kansas,
When the Thirty fifth division was
formed at Camp Doniphan. Okla, the
two regiments were consolidated and
became the l39th United States in
fantry. Col. John McNeeley, Of st.
Joseph Mo, commander of the Fourth
Missouri, was made commanding Of
ficer, and one-half of each company
was composed Missouri men and the
other half Of Kansas men.
In Front Line Trenches.
The regiment embarked from New
York on April 20, 1917, and it is a
peculiar incident that 1t returned just
one year and twenty minutes after
1t embarked, emitting each member
to two service chevrons, denoting a
years service in the A. e. f.
The first organization to enter the
front line trenches was the Second
battalion, which served two weeks
together with the French In quiet
sector in lower Alsace. Then the
division took over sector of the line,
and one or more battalions were in
the front line trenches continuously
for three months. The division was
moved behind ST. Mihiel at the be-
ginning of that drive, but did not get
into the active fighting, altho it suf-
fered casualties from bombs dropped
from enemy airplanes. The next en-
gagement was in the Meuse- Argonne
sector, where this regiment lost heav
lest, and gained It's honors. The regi-
ment went over the top in the second
line as moppers- up, their special job

ton to the artillery which destroyed
them. Another officer OF the regi-
ment who gained fame was Lieut.. r
Col. James Il. Reiger Of the Second
battalion, then major, who fearlessly
exposed himself to artillery and ma
chine gun Are. accompanied the lead
ing company in all the attacks, re-
organized the regiment and led 1t In
the attack against Exermont and had
his uniform shot full OF holes, but
marvelously escaped injury himself.
He was promoted and awarded the
distinguished service cross, and re-
celved personal letter OF approval
from General Pershing for his gallant
conduct. Relger is now with the
13Sth Infantry.
Made Ii a Hornets Nest.
During the time this regiment oc-
cupied trenches in Alsace, 1t took
part I'm a number of raids and skirm-
ishes, made hornets nest out of a
formerly quiet sector, captured prls-
oners and inflicted severe losses on
the enemy. But its greatest fighting
was done In the Argonne battle. These
men who marched up Topeka's
streets with the steady swing Of the
hardened soldier, assisted in the cap
ture of Cheppy; Very, Charpentry,
Baulny, and suffered such severe
losses in the taking Of Exermont that
the few men left could not hold out
until the divisions on both sides of
them came up, and were focred to
fall back into positions prepared by
the engineers while they were Kidding
the town of the enemy.

fenced division in the A. T.. f., had
