CREIGHTON MAN
SLAIN IN ACTION
ON FRENCH FIELD
Lieut. John Rosenwald, Former
Foot Ball Star, Member
Army Medical Corps,
Among Casualties.
The first Creighton university man
nas sacrificed his life for his country
in France. He is Lieutenant John
Rosenwald of Minneapolis, reported
k:. led in action on the American bat
tle front.
Lieutenant Rosenwald was a grad
u te -f the medical college of Creigh
ton university in the class of 1910.
He came to Creighton in the fall of
1909. an advanced student owing to
t'iree years of previous study at the
Univirsity of Minnesota, and he was
given his degree in one year.
At Minnesota Rosenwald was a
foot ball player of nation-wide promi
nence. He played right guard on
thu famous Gopher eleven of 1908,
the team captained by Orren Safford,
and of which the celebrated Johnny
McGovern was a member. That was
the eleven which defeated every team
in sight except Nebraska. The Corn
h makers held the sensational Gophers
to a scoreless tie.
Rosenwald was one of the individ
ual stars of the team and vied with
Johnny McGovern for first honors.
, Western foot ball experts have called
, Rosenwald the greatest guard the
west ever saw, and .some have gone
so far as to say that he should be
given a place on the all-American
t;am.
Lieutenant Rosenwald was born in
Mankato, Mnn., 34 years ago. Fol
lowing his graduation at Creighton
he practiced medicine in Mankato and
; Minneapolis. Soon after the war
started he enlisted, earned a conimis
' sion and went to France. A short
. lime ago he was decorated with the
F-ench war cross for heroic action in
battle. He is survived by a widow,
l who resides in Minneapolis.

SHELLPROOF MACK
- f Q'
A Common Soldier's
Recital of Thrilling
Adventures in the
Terrific Struggle for
World Democracy
By ARTHUR JAMES M'KAY

Arthur James McKay, "Shtllproof Mack,
American citiien, collated Id one of the Eng
lish bantam regiments after the sinking of
the Lualtania and the failure of the luitrd
Stutct to declare war Immediately.
After varlom experiences he reached the
front and was Hounded four different times
anj gassed once. After receiving his first
wound Mack applied for his discharge on
grounds of being an American citiien, but
toie up his application when an officer ex
plained the need for his presence.
On Christmas, 1917, Mack told his fellow
soldiers of the previous Christmas In the
trenches and faithfully predicted the pro
gram which Frits would put op for their
edification.
4s the battle of Messlnes Bidge ap
proached Mack told of the gigantic prepa
rations for the blowing up of 11IU 6 and
following the fearful explosion of 1,000,000
pounds of ammonal he and his mates go
over the top for the attack on the enemy.
The tanks expected to assist In the attack
failed to put In an appearance.
After a considerable wait Mack and his
hatt started over the top and through gall
ing machine gun and rifle fire they finally
rencbed the (iermun trenches. When told
that the casualties had been comparatively
light. Mack asked sergeant what be meant
by that statement, and waa told that the
hmes totaled about 20 per cent of the men
who went over In the charge,
CHAPTER XI.
(Continued.)
We had still 800 yards to go to
make our objective and we soon were
ordered out to start again. This time
we got a shell-fire that was worse
than anything else I saw over there.
At least half a dozen shells struck so
close to me that I was staggered by
the shock and yet wasn't scratched.
Men seemed to be going down by
scores. Two more officers fell, leaving
the company in command of a second
lieutenant. Still we kept on and soon
found ourselves approaching the
White Chateau.
The White Chateau was a country
place surrounded by a little park,
which still had some of the trees
standing. The house was a big one
painted white and over it flew the
Red Cross flag. In rehearsals we had
been told that this place was a Red
Cross station and that .were to let it
strictly alone. A detail from the last
wave was to take it over and guard it.
As we came up to the chateau we split
and were going by on each side when
the house began to belch machine gun
fire.
How anybody managed to live
through that fire I don't know. It
was at short range and there was a lot
of guns. Right here we disobeyed
orders. We didn't pass the chateau as
we had the w ood back by the canal.
Not we. Led by the little officer man,
who was a gallant lad, we turned as
one man and made for the chateau.
We charged without orders right up
through the remains of the little park
and up to the house, and began heav
ing bombs through the windows.
I came up on one side along: Vith
six or seven other chaps. I remember
chucking two bombs through a win
dow, and when the explosion! came
off, another window, which had been
closed and unbroken before, heaved

Here's A Gentle Laxative
For Elderly People
A daily free movement of the bowels becomes a serious
problem as you step from middle-life into old age, and much
dependence can no longer be placed on nature herself. The
bowels find artificial aid necessary.
The stronger the phytic; as old people soon learn; the
greater the contraction of the bowels thereafter; and so the
wise purposely avoid salt waters, pills and other harsh pur
gatives. Many have learned to place absolute reliance on
the gentle but positive , action of a combination of simple
laxative herbs with pepsin sold by druggists under the name
of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin.
It produces an agreeable movement as nearly natural and
free as high pharmaceutical skill can make it. Thousands
use it regularly, in the small dose prescribed, and keep them
selves in fine health and good cheer; and entirely free from
constipation.
TA druggist will refund your money it fafle
to do ma promised.

bodily. Then a sergeant yelled to let
up on the bombs and hollered: "Now,
then, upwith you two little fellers.
Pitch 'era in, lads." The men grabbed
me and one other and heaved us up
and into the window. With my hun
dred pounds weight and a boost by a
.pair of big btiskies, I simply floated
up and lit on the broad window sill.
The inside of the room I landed in
was a mess. There was a machine gnn
upset near the window and a lot of
bodies all about. I stood there staring
through the smoke for a minute, and
then stepped into the room carefully
and easy, right up on my toes, with
the rifle poised all ready to stick the
trusty little old pin into anything that
moved. A Hun over there in the cor
ner rolled over and held up a good
arm and slobbered out, Mercy, kam
arad." Then I yelled, "Come out of that.
Come out, ye blankety blank
Boches." I cussed real cordial for a
minute or so, and then a door opened
slowly and out sneaked three Ger
mans, whining "Kamarad," with their
hands up.
Well, we cleaned that chateau. They
didn't make a tap of resistance after
we got inside, and we harvested forty
odd men and four or five officers. The
officers were all in the cellar and they
had a perfect telephone system to
other parts of the line. Upstairs in the
tower there was a regimental sergeant-major,
with telephones leading
down from his lookout to the cellar.
There were two huge red crosses
painted on the white roof to keep
off the airplanes, and the cross was
painted on all four sides of the house.
There cannot he any doubt that the
Huns had used this place for observa
tion under the protection of the Red
Cross for a long time. There was
nothing about the chateau to show
that it had ever been used for a hos
pital. It was a clear case of treach
ery and the use of the Red Cross for
a military blind. We left 100 dead
in the chateau besides the prisoners,
but their loss couldn't have been a
tenth part of what they had inflicted
on us through their dirty work. It's
this kind of thing that will win the
war for the Hun if the rest of the
world lets him win. If he does win,
here's one American citizen and be
liever in world democracy that will
go away to the headwaters of the
Amazon or some such place and bury
himself in the jungle to associate with
the decent beasts.
After cleaning out the chateau we
might have stayed there without ''an
ger, as the German batteries evidently
bad orders not to shell the place and
nothing was coming within 100 yards.
They had the range perfect, as was
shown by the way the shells fell all
around the chateau and didn't land
on it. Well, we couldn't stop there, as
we had to make our objective, which
was still about 300 yarUs distant. So
we got out and went for it. Half that
distance was under heavy shell fire.
I made it in approximately 30 seconds.
Nobody timed me, but I am confident
that Lbroke all records for the 300
yards, either professional or amateur.
I fell into the trench and sat on the
fire-step puffing at the old pipe like a
steam engine. She was out, but that
didn't make any difference. Somebody
ran up and said:
"Mack, you're hit. Get that tunic
off."
I looked and found that I was cov
ered with blood atl down the left side.
I began to get faint and imagined
that my shoulder pained me. After a
while 1 peeled out of the jacket slow
and easy, and there wasn't a scratch
one me. 1 never did know where that
blood came from.
After a short rest we all turned to
and began to consolidate the trench
and to turn it around. The traverses
were in good shape and wide, and
about all we had to do was to transfer
the sandbags and put in a new fire
step. The shell and machine gun fire
was still heavy and there were scores
of airplanes flying very low. Some
came down so near that we waved to
the pilots and yelled to them and they
answered.
After we had the trench tidied up
we had breakfast. We were all as
hungry as wolves. I had a tin of cold
bully beef and a chunk of rooty
thats trench lingo for bread and
found an onion snuggled down in the
corner of the haversack, and, believe
me, that meal tasted good.
We had to stand to all day for the
expected counter attack, but it didn't
come. Along around dusk a funny
stunt came off and I had the pleasure
of seeing the only German I was ever
sorry for. We were well consolidated
and were keeping a sharp lookout over
the parapet when suddenly out of ft
shell hole about 20 yards in front
there jumped a German soldier, who
started to leg it for the German
lines. He had a small sandbag over
nis shoulder. Uur one ofheer shouted
to the fellow to stop, but he kept
going and about 20 of us cut loose
at him. He went down ina heap, and,
still hanging onto his precious sack,
crawled into a shallow shell hole. The
lieutenant was a good deal worried
about the bag and rather thought that
it must contain papers of some kind.
