For lce1:gere Tid fiden com der
ifl. ,,Dnvk.« fra Felten Efterrets
ning om, at Kontormedhjælper
Benz, der før Krigen arbcjdede Paa
Borgmesterkontoret i Løgumkloster,
var falden; den unge Mund var
sin Moders Støtte. Nu i Lørdags
(8. Juni) kom der imidlertid plud
seligt Brev fra Penz med Meddes
lelfe um, at ban havde det godt.
Penz bavde arbejdet paa en skri
vestue i Etappe; en Aften var han
gaaet i Byen, og da det var mørk
Nat, var han gaaet fejl og gik i
længere Tid omkring, indtil han
stsdte paa tysk Militær. Da han«
mnfiderf kom tilbage til Skriveil

af den; en Granat var slaaet ned
i Huset og havde dræbt 5 Mond-.

to shake han«-da with me. He im
presssed me as being a kine tel
low, but he told me that he was
not sa Christian. I jotted down
hia name and address and loolc
ed hjm up in his tent the next
day. He was on guard duty and.
l could hsave but little com-ersa
tion with him, so I errang-ed a
eonkerenee with him at my resi
denee in the ei-t)·. It was sat this
eonkerenee that he told me the in
teresting story ok his like and de
eided to give his heart to the
Maater and be baptized in Eis
name. The story ock his like made
such a deep impressiion upon me
that when he lekst I wrote it down
as nearlef as I could reeall it. It
may interest others so I am giv
ing it to the public-, but will with
hold his name.
"I was born in Austrisa near the
serhian bot-dein But I am no long
er an Austrian I am insulted
whenpeople eall me an Austrian
ZU mother was killed by the
hand work which she was com
pelled to do for the Austrian no
hjli.t)". l have never korgotten
this cruelty to my mother. WIhen
I thjnk about it my sblood boils
and I want to kigsht I know it is
swrong but 1 feel that I want to
kill those who were responsihle
for my mothser’s death·
«We were poor. We had a
pieee of land hut it took all we
could make to buy bread to eat.
But my Eather loved hin ehildren
sand works-d hard to sbuild up a
little home for us, and after we
ehildren grew up we worked, and
after a"ti-me we had bujlt up a
niee little howe. There was plenty
in the house to eat, and we had
eomkortasble elothes to wear. We
were heginningtosbe happy· I was
then grown, and I deeided to go
to Ameriea to work. I did not
intend to stay there, but as I
could make more money there I
could help my people more, and
then when I had saved up a
Jneat sum I intended to return to
my people-. Brery week I sent
some ot Inz- rnoney home, and I
would hear that my people were
getting along nie-ehs.
"Then the news eame to me
one day that the home had hurns
ed down, and everything that we
had Las-ed had been destroyed in
the Hamen Not a thing was leit.
When I think of it my hlood
hoils. because the house was set
on kire hy some of the hig men
of Austria in order to eornpel my
father to sell his land. They
want-ed my kather’s kann but he
would not sell it, so they took
this method to drjve him into a
fort-ed Sale and a eheap hargain
lt nearly killesd my kather, he
,eause he had worked hat-d all hi
life to huild up a little home so
that we ehildren might have
something when he was dead, and
now we had nothing. I could not
ge haek home then. I had to stay
here to make more money to
send to my people.
«When I had first arrived in
America, of course I lived with
people ock my own country, and
spoke thejr lang-trage I workesd
where they worked They all
drank. Uy tather had taught us
notwdrinklhadueverdrunk
in my like. But these people told
me that if I wanted to hold my

Americas-« I would have to MY

was not long until I was stand-»
ins at the beer eounter hinstürzt
ok the las-ge quantity I eouldi
M. Rat-II this time I was
sendins money to my people in
Austria.
«But at last-I Lonnd any-all out
ok work and W. I was
leadingtheliteokatrssnplwu
homelesq, hin-M and esold I had
to come to him. IIe asked me a
lot ok questions, and I pour-ed
out my heart to him.— I told hini
the whole truth He asked his:
wife to give me some dinner, and
l ate as l never ate before. He
okkered me some beer to drink
But I had quit drinking. I had
made up my mind that I would
new-er drinik again. I was cold and
tiiirsty. but I told him that I
would rather die than to taste
thks beer. The man took me to a
niee warm wom, with a good hed
to sleep in, and good hooks to
read. He okkered me this room
as my home, and I stayed at this
place for thkee montha. I got on
my feet again, and became a man
once more. I vowed that I would
never for-get this hind mand and
his wife who had given me, a
homeless tramp, a home, even
though they had ten chäldren of
their own.
«At the end of three month-; l
enlisted in the National Guakd of
America, and hecame an Ameri
can soldiek. During this time l
was learning to read and write.
soon I could read and write very
well. This was in 1910. I sen-ed
in several parte ok this country.
nnd then in the Philippinea When
I had served my tenn of enlists
ment I paid a visit to my old
friends who had saved me end
cared for me. But I found a great
change. He had suffered mit-fort
une. Ilis business had kailed IIe
had sold hie nice home on the
corner, and was living in a smal«
ler house in anothek part of the
city. Eis wike was down sin in
bed, and he was not ashle to work.
There was little to eat in the
house The house rent had not
been paid for months, and there
was no coal in the eellar. The
electricity had been out okf ht-—
cause the hills had not been paid.
A gkeat change had come over
that home since I had lett it.
But they weise the ones who had
helped me and l had vowed that
l would never foiget the-in.
,«1 had saved up about 8280, in
the arnyg and when I lett I had
Ia check kor 8250, and same
change in Inz- poelcet for inei
dentals on the trip. When I found
how things were l went down
stkeet and had my check cashed
»0n my way home I bonght gro
I(·«-1·i«s, several tuns ok eoal, paid
thi- light hIlls and Its-d the cur
Irent put on again. By the time l
akrived the things I had bought
hegen to come in. I then wiss-d
il« futher to go with nie tu »sc
tho landlurd, and we went im
mediatelzx l paid the baelc isent
and some in advance They were
so liappy. Mk- turn to help had
come. God gave the opportuni
ty to return the favors I had ist
eeived when I was down and out.
They had pulled nie out of the
mite, and I had the ehance to
pull them out of despair. I never
for-get niy friends. «
«With the money I had left I
ifhought an old bat-her shop, and
Llater tixed it up, and was mak
ing good money. I took care ok
Einz- kriends as long as ther need
ied -m»v help. The wike had Zotten
khetteiy and the hushand found
good work, and before I lekt they
were again hecoming pro-persone.
This was in 1914. I stayed in the
bat-her business about two years,
and then I telt the call of the
