In no-Man's Land
BY EDWARD d. BALL,

nooVSAoSCA
WITH THE AMERICANS IN
NORMANDY, July 23 Delayed
Three American chaplains seeking
out wounded under flre in q marshy
no-man's land brought . spon-
taneous unoncial cessation of hos
tilities in this bloody sector for
three hours today.
During the brief armistice the
Germans came out and directed the
chaplains and litter-bearers to our
wounded.
Principals of the episode were
ChaplainS Joseph j. Esser, Catholic,
Cleveland, Mimi: Edgar H. Stohler,
Spavinaw, Okla, Salvation Army,
and James M. Hamilton, Fort Worth,
Tex, Disciples of Christ.
Defying fire from both sides and
our strafing planes overhead, they
went into the marsh holding aloft
Red Cross flags, succoring a man
here, another there.
Enemy Impressed by Bravery.
The enemy was impressed by the
bravery OF these men of the cloth
and stopped shooting. Soon guns on
both sides fell silent except the
artillery in the rear.
The chaplains were met in no
mans land by q German officer and
through q German-speaking Amer
ican removal of the wounded was
arranged.
While the little group was nego-
tiating, q German cameraman came
out and snapped pictures of them
Associated Press Artist Howell Dodo
and l witnessed the removal OF the
last casualties from a vantage point
midway between our line and the
enemy.
We had moved up under guidance
of Pvt. Edward l.. Madden of Nau.
gatuck. Conn.,, and Corpl. George
Rothschild, German-born infantry
man from Houston, Tex. Incl
dentally. both Madden and Roths-
child were surrounded by the enemy
last night, but got back through
the lines.
Fighting Starts Again.
Within a few minutes after the
chaplains reached an aid station the
deathlike silence was broken over
the battlefield. The Germans had
started shooting again and the fight
was on.
There was no request for an
armistice," Chaplain Esser said. I'VE
were out there carrying on when
Stohler came over to get me to give
the last sacrament to a dying Cath
olic. I administered the last sacra-
ment and then Stohler and I de-
cided to 60 further into the swamp
and see If we would draw fire. There
was none so we called back fol
litterbearers and began picking ur
our wounded.
Meanwhile, Hamilton was pick
ing up wounded with a party OF
American aid men farther down the
line. They were hailed by a German
who emerged from behind a ma.
chine-gun emplacement. The Ger.
man directed them to a wounded
American they had missed. While
picking him up they came upon
another man whose left leg had
been shot away"

According to the sheriff Trot-

and was merely waiting in Trot-

when the arrests were made.
Taken before Prosecutor Will

charging illegal possession of

the pair was then brought be-
fore Justice of the Peace DON

Through an error Justice Parent
fined each of the men SIS and
