VI THE BEE: OMAHA. THURSDAY. OCTOBER 5. 191?. OMAHA MARINE SEES COUSIN IN BASEJOSPITAL Praises Valor of "Marines in Stopping Onrush of the Huns Toward Paris at Belleau Wood. A chance meeting between two cousins in a French hospital is one cf the unusual streaks of war for tune recorded by Corp. A. M. Lev ey of the marines, in a letter to his parent, Mr. and Mrs. S. M. Levey, 2447 Kansas avenue. Suffering from shell shock after the battle of Belleau wood, the young Omaha lad was sent to the base hospital, where he was at tended by his cousin, Lt. A. G. Fleischman of the medical corps, formerly of Des Moines, la. Neith er had seen the other since the time they enlisted. Interesting descriptions of the journey to the front, the evaluation by French refugees and the splen did work of the marines are in cluded in the young soldier's letters. Gives Credit to Marines. "If ever a body of men deserve credit and reward for the part they took in this war, the marines are that body. The boys on the line fought under conditions as bad as any outfit has or ever will have to contend with and with a spirit and courage that is the equal of any of the allied troops. "Coming from two months' front line duty in the wet and muddy trenches near Verdun, with no previous experience in the new open fighting, after a ride covering 168 kilometers in 18 hours and noth ing whatever to eat or drink, they took the place of the retreating French and colonial troops, stopped and broke up no less than four heavy attacks and on June 6, took the "weather gauge" and drove back Germany's best a distance of two kilometers on a three-kilometer front. "It was the first engagement of any size or importance American troops had taken part in. The brand of fighting was entirely dif ferent from the old cut and dried trench warfare we had been trained in and consequently there were ob stacles to overcome and situations to meet which demanded the in stant judgment and initiative of every single man. "The possibilities arising from the failure of the Americans to stop Fritz in his mad rush can only be fully realized by those who were ac tually there and know the situation. I think it is safe to say Paris was saved, possibly France, and the way I was paved for the present great ic- lories we are enjoying. From that time on, Germany's progress lias been in an easterly direction, the w ay her invaders will go, till the I war is won. I "I have written recommendations i for distinguished conduct for sonic i.iC't men and each one sound- like a novel or a movie, uie omv taiK ide of the whole business is the thought of the officers and men American Casualty List I The following Nebraskans and 1 Iowans are named in the casualty : list given out by the War depart ment for Thursday morning, Octo 'ber 3: j KILLED IN ACTION, Corp.

What I would like now is some hot water and just soak, soak. soak. "I've seen a few things over here not very good to look at, but I bc I lieve the sight that impressed me most was the poor people evacuat ing their homes before the German drive. It was on the last day of May, we were moving into position to put a stop to Fritzie's rush via trucks. For the last 50 miles one side of the road was a continuous procession of troop trains and the other of refugees going in opposite directions, all their belongings piled high on a two-wheeled cart drawn by oxen, and as a rule, on top of the pile would be an old worn-out grandmother surrounded by sevcuil little kids from 1 to 6 years old. The old man led the team and the dog and cow brought up the rear. That's tny idea of the horrors of war. These people Were leaving all they had in the world and going they didn't know where. One of the finest examples of charity I ever saw was one of our officers riding on the same truck I was. lie took a 50-france note, wrapped it inside a stick of gum and dropped it in an old lady's lap, as we passed close to the cart. "Some one asked what he was do ing and he said, 'Just passing out some gum.' "These deportations, mutilations, and outrages can hardly he at tributed to the entire German army, but this surely can, and I think the sight of those poor people helped the marines put up the grand light thev did."

One day he came home in khaki; then his father told you, with mingled pride and foreboding, that he had "gone across' with his regiment. . Yesterday his name was on the casualty Hat "slightly wounded" i and your face grew grave at you thought of the sorrow and suspense of his father and mother.

What are you doing to arm and protect them, and bring them home fa safety? Have you bought Liberty Bonds? Have you bought all you possibly can? Has it occurred to you that one more Bond, bought with a little addi. tional effort, may save the life of the boy from the next door? Buy Another Bond!
