Or.lAHA BOY BACK,
T17IGE WOUNDED
BY 111 BULLETS
. Peter Baltzer, Former Na
tional Guardsman, Tells
Vivid Story of Fight
ing in France.
Active participation in the battles
. of Chateau - Thierry, Soissons,
.'. Marne, Argonne forest and the
Somme was the experience of Peter
Baltzer, son of Mr. and Mrs. Carl
Baltzer, 3174 Farnam street. Baltzer
was wounded twice in the battles of
die Marne and Chafeau-Thierry, and
was gassed in the Argonne forest.
He returned to the states on Jan
uary 3, and is in Omaha today to
visits aprents.
"The American boys fought with
the grit of a superhuman," he said.
"No sooner had we ' set foot on
'l-rcnch soil last July than we en
'trained for Chateau-Thierrv and
started fighting the same day that
we landed. Actually, the French
forces in that sector were lost until
we fellows from the old Fourth Ne
braska went at the Huns. The
English were worn out at Soissons,
ana we lent a hand. We had no
chance for hand-to-hand bayonet
lighting because the boches were on
the run toward Berlin."
Twice Wounded.
Corporal Baltzer received ma
chine gun bullets in the rieht ankle
and mouth. From the day he land
ed in France he was with the 16th
licldy artillery, which remained in-
lacr since juiy, mo.
rrom tne time we took our
stand in the trenches, we were not
given rest. We were at the boches
every miniHe of the day and night.
Whether it- was 'over the top,'
reononnoitering duty or barrage fir
ing, the 16th field artillery did their
snare.
When 4he Germans began an of
fensive on September 26. Corporal
Baltzer was gassed in the Argonne
forest.
"My squad was just trying to
crawl through a barrage of the en
emy, when a , gas bomb exploded
near us," he said. "One man ahead
of mc was killed instantly. Another
to my left was wounded, and before
I could put on my gas mask I was
out for the count, with chlorine gas
in my lungs."
Brjngs Home Trophies.
Corporal Baltzer still suffers
minor effects of the gas. Scars of
bullet wounds on his upper lip and
inkle are also evident.
"I saw many Omaha boys over
there, who went through the same
hell that I went through, and all
say they wouldn't sell their exper
ience for a gold mine." ,
He brought home a grip full of
German war trophies that he took
from dead Huns. Corporal Baltzer
enlisted in the old Fourth Nebraska
infantry , two years ago, and until
last spring was on the Mexican bor
der He will got to Camp Dodge
Monday to receive his discharge
Tronthe army. .
Woman Sent to Jail
Says Soldier Lured
Her from Her Husband
Clara Divers, 508 South Thir
teenth street, was sentenced to five
days in the Douglas county jail yes
terday after she pleaded 'guilty
in federal court before United
States Judge Munger to charges of
prostitution within the five-mile
'zone limit. ,
" She confessed to improper rela
tions with a soldier stationed, at
Fort Omaha.
The woman told a strange story.
She said that the soldier called her
away from the side of her hus
band, and induced her to go upstairs
with him. She admitted taking
money from him.
George Hunt Makes Search
in Omaha for Lost Daughter
The fatted calf will be killed for
Margaret Hunt, daughter of George
Hunt, '4708 South Twenty-seventh
street, if she will, return to her
father. x
In 1894 Mr. Hunt's wife died, leav
ing six children. Unable to care
for them as he believed they should
be cared for he placed them in an
orphanage. A number of years la
ter Mr. Hunt married again. Hav
, ing a home, he decided to share it
"with his .children.
He found his son, and four of his
daughters, but the fifth daughter,
Margaret, had left the orphanage
and there was no trace of ' he
whereabouts. Several months ago
he received word that she was mar
ried and living on the South Side.
He immediately left his home at
Fairbury, Neb., and came to Om
aha. He found employment at a
packing house, and ,has since been
carrying on a systematic search for
his daughter but as yet been nable
to locate her, or to discover the
name of her husband. He has
asked the Bee to aid him in his
search.
