Okinawan's Bow
Leads to Tumble
For Cycling Marine
(Continued from Page 1)
bowing incidents the other day.
Ho is Pfc. Roy Sellers, a machine
gunner from Amelia, O.
Roy is married and has a little
girl two years old. He used to
be a machinist at the Cincinnati
milling machine co. Ho played
semi-prcj hall too.
Whin Roy hai a beard he
looks just like a tramp in a
stage play. Ho is only 27. but
looks much older. In fact, he
goes by4 the nickname "Old
Man."
.Well, one day Old Man was
dying to rido a Japanese bicycle
along the bank of a little river
where we camped. The ground
was rough and the bicycle had
only one pedal and Roy was having-
a struggle to keep his bike
upright. Just then an old Okli
nawan, bareheaded and dressed
in a black kimona and carrying
a dirty sack, walked through our
little camp. Ho wasn't supposed
to be at large but It was none of
our business and we didn't mo
lest him.
He was bowing to everybody,
right and left, as he passed. Then
he met machine gunenr Sellers
on his one-pedaled bicycle. Roy
was already having his troubles.
As he came . abreast of the
Okinawan, Roy bowed deeply
ever the handle bars, hit a rut,
lost his balance and over the
went. Tho Okinawan, with
oriental inscrutability, returned
the bow and never looked back.
We all laughed our heads off.
"Who's bowing to whom 'around
here?" wo asked. Roy denied he
had bowed first. But wo knew
better. After that he decided to
give his old bicycle away to
somebody less polite than him
self. As our company was moving
forward one day and I looked
down the line of closely packed
marines I thought for a moment
I was back in Italy.
There for sure was Bill Maul
din's cartoon character of GI Joe
the solemn, bearded, dirty,
drooping weary old man of the
infantry.
This character was Pfc. Urban
Vachon of French-Canadian ex
traction, who comes from La
conia, N. H. He has a brother,
William, fighting in Germany.
Urban is such a perfect ringer
for Maultlin s soldier that I asked
the regimental photographer to
take a picture of him nnd it has
been sent back to the states.
Maybe you've seen it. If you
lit Ve;' you 'can 'prove to any dis
senters that soldiers do too look
like Mauldin makes them look.
Knights Templar

France Says Petain
Has Not Returned
PARIS, April 25 (UP) The
ministry of justice today issued
a formal denial of a French news
agency report that Marshal Henri
Philippe Petain had crossed the

'The AFP agency said in an
Annecy dispatch that Petain had

stopover in Switzerland, which
yesterday granted him admission
