Ona feels an rupee 1ml udDMi over ths
men who died with Oscar F. Miller on
Killer hill, and over those who were
falling In front of the Baumy woods at
the same time. There was western Im
petuosity In the way the 361st and 164th
battalions hurried through the woods
after noon of the 23th and tried to
break through the next German line.
Tired soldiers, and hungry, looked on
ahead to ridges specked with machine
guns, to thickets iwirnlm with
snipers, to wooded hills farther back
alive with artillery.
They had not had fighting like this
on Thursday and Friday: thia trial of
(Saturday afternoon. September U. third
day of the battle, waa hardest to date
because of the concentration of fire on
a much lesser area. Except before
Epinonvllle there had been room to
maneuver before. It waa a thicker
thins they were now walking Into, but
aa Major Miller had put it aa he lay
mortally wounded. "We're coins on
through."
Taewsaa Maa Makes Saertftea.
Sergeant Charles Huckaba of com
pany 1, lst. Tacoma. was one of the
killed. Just before noon Huckaba said
to Private Lara Anderson of company
I. "I don't know what's the matter
with me: I'm so scared and nervous today.-
The writer has steadily re
fused to believe In presentiments, and
yet over and over again Slst men about
to die seemed to have them. There
were even men who tried to giveaway
their possessions on the day they were
killed.
Huckaba hurried on forward, how
ever, with his platoon. He waa In that
rapid advance with the major to the
bottom of Miller hilL He went on tip
to the top and down the far side, tut

retiring up Miller bill again. Huckaba
waa part way up and waa In a shell
hole, when a fragment struck the side
of bis head. Private Roderick McLen
nan of Casper. Wyo.. took hold of his
body, which waa In a crouching posi
tion, but found no signs of life. Two
other company I men pulled him out of
the hole to sea If he could be helped;
but ha could not; so they lay him down
on tha bank and went on their way.
Harry Beaaaaaa Eager Fighter.
Harry Seamana of company I waa an
eager fighter in the Miller hill charge.
He was a Washington boy from Orting.
He came up to the hole in which Cor
poral Claude L, McDermott of Doug
las Wyo.. was lying, and the corporal
aald. Seamans. you'd better lie down.
Peaman replied. "I'm going to get
some of the devils., or they'll have to
get me" always ,. dangerous aoldier

In hia arms. Kleven days later Asima

Corporal John Harrison Pierce, a
Bandon. Or., man. also of company 1.
waa lying flat when tha order came to
retire, about :lu o'clock. It looked as
If. like the others, he waa just escaping
the worst of the storm. The rest
started back. Private Allanro shook
him and said they were moving, but
could get no response.
Many Meat Are Weaaded.
I company had -already lost Salter
and Jensen In the forenoon. It had
many men wounded on Miller hilL
Many still lay there with Huckaba.
Seamana and Pierce when the retire
ment came: but that night exhausted
men went out in a driving rain and
brought them in. One of the leaders
was a college professor of redoubtable
spirit. He was Sergeant Howard
Wight, who teaches economic xoology
at Oregon Agricultural college. Corval-
lia Profesnor Wight has a decoration
for Ms work that nlrht. which he will
behind. But tha major had been fa
tally wounded and tha retirement
waa on and a private named. Harry
Poggensee of Auburn. Wash., said to
Larsen. "We might as well go back
while the rest are.- About all the L
men were gone by this time except
Poggensee. Larsen. Lieutenant Coats,
Private Wrolf Olson and the men who
were wounded.
Lara Larsca Fearless.
One of these wounded men lay in a
thicket in pain. (There were two
thickets Just beyond ' Miller hill). Tha
man waa Stephen R. Weber, a private.
and when Coats called to know who
lay in the brush, be railed back
Weber." So the officer said to Olson,
"Help me bandage this wounded man'
and Larsen joined ' in on his own aa
count, instead of going back over the
hill to shelter.
There was not much fear in Lars
Larsen. He said to Poggensee on the
2th. Just aa the drive began, "I don't
want to be captured by any Hun. I'll
eght to the last"; and here he waa
staying behind of his own- volition,
with the company gone, making three
on a Job that tiro could have done all
becausa he was that sort of stuff of
which list men were made.
The lieutenant waa on ona aide of
Weber; Larsen was on the other. A Ger
man battery sought out the thicket. The
lieutenant'a helmet waa cut. but he waa
not injured. Weber was wounded again,
and was hard hit, but recovered. Lar
sen waa atruck in the face. He felt
forward dead, over the man he was
helping.
Bersea Haddle Together.
Corporal Clarence O. Johnson of com
pany L, whose father lived at HIS
Twenty-first avenue. South Seattle,
died in the Miller Hill charge. Men
tend to huddle together aometimes In
battle as If numbers were a protection
instead of a menace. Some L men were
grouped and Lieutenant Coats told them
to scatter, but before they could do so,
a shell lit am org them, killed Johnson
Instantly, wounded another and shell-
shocked the third.
Johnson is one of the reasons why
the writer discredits presentiments. He
was very optimistic before he went in
or pretended to be: he was sure he'd
come out. Good fighter Johnson. "He
was ona of the best line men in com
pany L, He was alwaya anxious to go
out and ret a Hun." aald Sergeant James
Poole. This man Poole, whose home is
at 208 Occident street, Portland, was a
fine type of soldier, being one of sev
eral great non-coma in company L,
William Swenn waa a Finn in com
pany L, drafted from Washington. He
waa hit above the ear by h. e.. but
waa not much Injured. He was glad, in
fact, that hia hurt was so slight, and
said he would be all right in a few
days. He waa taken back to a dressing
station on the south aide of Clerges
woods, into which there fell the next
morning a shell. Sween waa killed by
the shell.
Third Battallea Escapes.
No Sd battalion company escaped
In the Miller Hill charge. There waa
the aad case of Krlppner of M. Krlpp-
ner also cams from Seattle. As the
company waa crossing tha opening be
tween Clerges and Baulny woods,

before 4 o'clock, artillery from a Ger
man hill halt a mile distant fired into
It. Krlppner waa hit In the face and
the body. The men of M then went on
into the charge. That evening, after the
withdrawal. Private Morris Berry of
:C42 East 49th street. Portland, stopped
by him. Krlppner called him by name
and told him he had no chance to live.
The quicker I die, the better I'm off,"
he told Berry. The Portlander put on
a first aid pack, but the wounds were
so many he could not do much. About
1 P. M. a party carried him back, the
party Included a private named Talter
W. Carroll of company M. who waa
wounded a day or so later. '
"For God's sake, boys," Krlppner had
said, "can't you get me soma help?" So
they carried him back on a Herman
about shelter tents. He died at 11
o'clock.
Near by William Krlppner was Pri
vate Robert McCutchen of company M,
a Big Bend soldier from Reardan. The
boya found McCutchen when they re
tired. Being dead, he was spared Krlp
pner's seven hours misery.
Woaderfal Charge Recalled.
Thua died the 91st men In the Miller
Hill .charge. There were others than
those described, who came up In the
afternoon, went up onto Miller Hill in
the charge, went on beyond, some of
them, and did not come back. Corporal
Kenna P. Plowman was one. He was
of headquarters company. He was
burled on top of the bill about a week
later by Private Herman Vaadanen, 302
South Main Street, Butte, a headquar
ters pioneer, and by others.
Between and 5 o clock, four German
prisoners were coming back under the
guns of two Diet men, and Corporal
Plowman stuck up their hands and
Just I searched them. A UttJe later he went
to the right of the skirmish line of com.
pany L and was hit in the chest and
stomach by a machine gun burst, four
or five times. . He was from Caldwell,
Idaho, rural route 1.
The 3d battalion fell back. Dark
ness was near. The wonderful charge
was doubtless not futile. It had cleared
out the nests from the Miller HU1 ridge.
had gained the reverse slope ' of the
ridge as a shelter for pits, and had es
tablished the division on the right wing
of the line north o Clerges .and. Baulny
woods, from which It never withdrew
and from which on the following day it
made the great charge upon Gesnes.
And it shook German morale. There
are signs that during the night of the
28th, field pieces moved back, that In

When the blood has become weak
and thin as a result of overwork,
worry, sickness or severe cold, the
victim finds that It is Impossible to
keep comfortably warm. On these
spring days when others are wearing
lighter clothing they fall to get any
comfort from the warm sun.
This Is a condition common In cases
ef anemia and It cannot be corrected
until the blood has been enriched with
a tonic. The anemic person finds work
exhausting, he lacks appetite and am
bition, and sleep, which is generally
broken, fails to give rest and refresh
ment. Ths value of the selection of the
right tonio In rases of this kind is
illustrated in the experience of Mr.
"Willie Hrmer of No. 1024 Chandler
street. Danville. HI. He says:
"My blood became so weak and thin
that I became badly run down In health
and had little strength for my work. I
was forced frequently to quit work for
days at a time. I had pains in my
back and head and suffered from chills.
My appetite was poor and after eating
I waa troubled with gas. I couldn't
sleep well and generally rose In the
morning dead tired.
