Music Hath Charms

For many days we had battled
around the little town of Seringes-
et-Nesles. At last came the welcome
news that we were to be relieved.
But our Joy was to be short-lived.
Early the following morning (im-
sgine our feelings!) we were again
ordered to advance. The enemy was
retreating and we must follow in re-
serve.
In Seringes we took what shelter
we could find in cellars in the town
and in shell holes outside while
Heinie amused himself by dropping
an occasional shell among us and an
airplane sporting our W insignia
peppered us with a machine gun.

SOME a THRILLERs

Most Of the war time thriller
stories" describing the experiences of
the American Doughboy in the late
var have been written BY war time
nevspaper correspondents, who, ~ .
rule. never got any closer to the
front line trenches than Paris or
A. d. r. headquarters. The over
seas boys themselves have had little
to say ON the subject of their ex-
periences and It Is therefore with
considerable interest that We read
the following war stories sent In to
the Thrill Editor" of the American
Legion Weekly, the official organ
for the American Legien.
One Morning In Thisucourt
I was q scout and runner for Com
pany B, 9Th Machine Gun Battalion.
It was the morning Of September -.
1S18-the day the st. Mihiel drive
was launched. Our company had ad-
vanced to within $50 yeards OF Thia-
ucourt, and liaison with the infantry
being broken, our captain did not
know whether the town was occupied
by Americans or Germans. He there
fore sent me ahead and ordered the
company to halt.
went on-with only my auto
matlc. FOr Ill i Knew the Wuoio
German army might be in and behind
that town. 1t was a ticklish Job.
and I was a bit jumpy. All went we'll
until suddenly I turned q corner and,
to my horror, found myself face to
face with three German nGn-comEnts-
stoned officers. They we're about
six feet tall and looked eight. To be
perfectly frank about 1t, 1 was scared
stiff. For a moment l was too dazed
for action. Then l prepared to
throw up my hands.
But l didn't have to do 1t. To
my intense surprise I found the trio
holding up their hands-just as high
as they could hoist them. 1t wasn't
long before l managed to recover my
composure, and, pulling my pistol
bravely out of my holster, I marched
my prisoners out of the town and
turned them over to the first Ameri-
can guard l saw. Then I reported
to my Captain that the 23d Infantry
was in Thiaucort.
To this day the thought of those
gigantic men looking fiercely at me
apparently ready to kill me-
sends shivers up and down my spine.
