6 GUNS
A LIEUTENANT TURNED OVER
42 CANNON TO AMERICANS
AT SPINC0URT.
With the American Army North
east of Verdun, Nov. IS. Two 16
fneh cannon which were turned
over to the Americans at Spincourt
Saturday were guns used by the
Germans to shell the Verdun reg
ion. Forty-two guns of various cal
iber were turned over. The 16-inch
guns were taken apart by the Ger
mans into three sections, each sec
tion being drawn by a tractor.
The entrance of the Americans
into Spincourt Saturday was one of
the most spectacular features of the
American advance. Although the
details of the American plans had
been communicated by wireless to
the Germans, the carrying out of
the schedule was delayed. The
Americans were expected at Spin
court at 10 o'clock, but did Hot ar
rive until 2 in the afternoon be
cause of roads which had been shat
tered by shell fire.
Lieut Emmet Gruner of St. Ixmis
represented the 1st Army, with
Lieut. Robert Nicolson of Salis
bury, N. C, going as military ex
pert, to see that the guns were all
in good condition. The lieutenants
were accompanied by an infantry
sergeant and four privates. Lieu
tenant Gruner, the sergeant, and
one private went ahead in a motor
car carrying a white flag. Lieuten
ant Nicolson and the other privates
followed.
Upon reaching the outskirts of
Spincourt, they were met by a lone
German lieutenant who spoke Eng
lish. He conducted the Americans
to the village hotel, where billets
bad been provided. After saying
he was glad to see them and ex
pressing his relief that his respon
sibility was past, the German said:
"I am damned glad the war is
over."
As the Americans entered Spin
court the rear guards of German di
visions, which bad held the place
were just withdrawing, the Ger
mans rejoicing as they marched
away. A few artillerymen were
pottering around the big guns as if
they dreaded leaving their pets ne
hind. All the cannon were camou
flaged and some had names. One
s'-incb enn was named Martha and
bad a nroniinent place on the front
line.
The German lieutenant escorted
Hie Americans to the hotel and en
deavored to make them comfortable
Lieutenant Nicolson and the Ger
man beiran checking the guns and
continued the work until dark
Then the Germans entertained the
two lieutenants at dinner.
German continued wearing his
The

firms until after the dinner.
Americans also wearing theirs.
the
After dinner the German said
that he thought that he did not
need arms, but remarked that he
had felt nervous during the after
noon after the German infantry
bad retreated as he was uncertain
as to what the Americans might do.
All three took off their side arms
and spent the night at the hotel
The German slept on the first floor
and the Americans directly above.
They had breakfast together and
finished checking the guns, after
which Lieutenant Gruner gave the
German a receipt for them.
Just before noon the German
ordered the hotel to serve chocolate
and began packing up his effects
He told the Americans that thirty-
five hundred machine guns awaited
thera in Longuyon. Two orderlies
brought up his horse and tucking
the receipt into an inside pocket,
the enemy officer mounted, saying
good-by. Then ho atlucd:
"I hope mv troubles are over for
a wniic. l nope to torget an anoui
guns and war and battle fields for
ever.
He rode away, his orderlies fol
lowing him in a horse-drawn cart.
How a Salesman Suffered.
R. J. Porter. Sterling. Col., writes:
"I suffered with a painful, weak
back. As a traveling salesman I

straightened up was awful. I was
induced to try Foley Kidney Pills.
Relief was immediate. Say, they
are great." Prompt and tonic. Sold

FRANCE IS SUSPICIOUS TOO
Papers Demand More Light on the
Status of William Hohenzollern.
Paris, Nov. 19. French newspa
pers insist that more light be thrown
on the status of William Hohenzol
lern. L'Intransigeant wants to know
whether the "Dutsch scandal" will
keep up.
"It is certainly revolting fo see
the man responsible for everything
comfortably adapting himself to a
purely political 'abdication' ". says
L'Intransigeant. "It is also revolt
ing to find Holland offering facili
ties to an ex-ruler, who thus is ad
mirably placed to conduct intrigue
It is with pleasure and
appreciation
that wc lhank our customers and friends for the pat
ronage they are giving us at the present time, as we
are unable to give them the service they are entitled
to. But we expect in the near future to be located
so we can be of better service to them than ever be
fore. .

the future.
