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

Wears Clothes 16 days.
"It was some relief alter not hav
ing my clothes off for Id days to
undress and sleep in a bed. 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."

The Boy From Next Boob?
VOU used to see him swing gayly down the street, radiant witn the
vigor of his sturdy young manhood. 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.
From every city street, every village, every community, the boy next
door has gone to war.
, Think of these thousands of splendid young Americans, reared b
comfort, peace, and security, now suddenly plunged into that roaring in
ferno of battle with the hardened hordes of a desperately determined foe,
What are you doing to help them?
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?
