TWENTY-FIFTH ARTICLE.
Most of the shells thrown in battle
do no damage beyond the holes that
they cause, but once in a while a. lucky
shell kills or wounds many. The shell
that killed Lieutenant Elmer J. Noble
and several nomcoms and privates from
companies C and D of the 364th, just
after the Argonne began,' was an ex
ample. The shell that killed 13 and
wounded a number in the dressing- sta
tion, near Epinonville, at 11 P. M., of
the 27th, was an example. On the night
of October 3, a single shell killed nine
men. Every day a shell that put most
of a squad out of action would come.
One came about noon of the 28th in
the battle of Baulny woods, the casual
ties of which, in the 182d brigade, are
now being described. The sufferer was
company I of the 363d, and the, shell
killed or wounded six men. Sergeant
Irving Weik of 1039 Mission street.
San Francisco, had just given the com
mand to move to the left and take five
paces interval, but before this group
of six could do so it was knocked
down.
The six were Corporal George A.
Martin, 4131 Lusk street, Oakland, Cal.:
Trivate James J. Cogswell of 1678 West
Twenty-fifth street. Lob Angeles; Cor
poral Carroll C. Hammans, Private
Robert Kelson and Privates Robinson
and Dress. Hammans was hit in the
thighs and bled to death on the field.
3fe was dead three hours after he was
hit, when Corporal Stanley Gow of
1423 Eleventh street. Eureka, CaL. and
others went back on a water detail.
Cogswell was standing when hit and
probably died almost at once. The
others recovered.
Private-. Hit In Xtck, Die.
Private Hugh Longley, whose emer
gency address was a brother in Tyler,
Texas, was struck right after noon in
the neck, and was at a dressing station
just back of the front in less than an
hour. He could just say, "I'm pretty
badly hurt." At 9 o'clock the next
morning Sergeant Nelson saw him. but
he could not speak at all. He reached
Evacuation Hospital Xo. 10 at Froidos
October 2 and died at 6 P. M., October 3.
Still another of the several I-363d
men killed before Baulny woods was
Private Ernest F. Johnson of Randolph,
Utah. "W'eik, the San Francisco ser
geant, heard the shell coming and dove
lor a shellhole. Johnson jumped to the
spot Weik had vacated and was struck.
Weik raised his head after a minute,
saw Johnson lying there, tossed a clod
to attract his attention and called to
him to get into the nole. Private Ar
thur R. Davison of Opal, Wyo., then
called over that Johnson was dead.
Like Longley, he had been hit in the
neck. Davison-himself was killed by
shell on October 31 in Belgium. "War in
the Argonne and Belgium was exceed
ingly dangerous.
Private William H. Morrow of 925
East Davis street, Portland, had been
killed in the forenoon of the 28th by
a large fragment of shell. Private
Bernardino Depasquale, Italian, was
killed almost instantly in the after
noon. Corporal Otto Blau, Corporal
Edward H. Lorenson and Sergeant Ar
vel O. Rose had been killed from com
pany I in the first two days of the
light.
Yank Takes 2 Prisoners.
From 8 o clock to 11 that morning
company D of the 363d advanced from
the Very plateau' to beyond Eclisfon
taine, journeying nearly two miles. It
was a support company. It contained
great fighter among its buck privates.
His name was John Hoffman and prob
ably he was of German descent. His
emergency address was Mrs. Henry
Schempp, living in Marian Junction, S,
D. On September 26, two days before
Hoffman had been seen by Sergeant H.
M. Briggs of Gridley, Cal., to tear into
a German machine gun nest, talking
German to the machine gunners and
throwing hand grenades at the same
time. He took 20 prisoners single
handed that morning, according to Ser
geant Briggs. Just before the Argonne
began 13 men were transferred from
D company as machine gun ammunition
carriers and Hoffman was to have been
one, but Sergeant Briggs objected to
letting him go because he could read
and write German.
Suddenly, just before noon of the
2Sth, Briggs heard him call. "Sergeant,
tell them I've done my bit." The ser
geant was leading his platoon and
could not go back to him, but when
Sergeant J. C. Bateman of Yakim
Wash., passed by with his platoon an
hour later, Hoffman was dead.
Ballet Pierces Right Eye..
A man who lived 10 days with a bul
let hole through the right eye and out
the side of his head was Private Lauren
E. Davis of Courtland, Cal. He was
in company M, 363d. First aid was
put on him by Sergeant Myron I. Hoff
man, a fine Jewish soldier to whom
was awarded the distinguished service
cross posthumously for heroic work i
Belgium. Six men carried Davis back
to Very on two slickers held straight
by two rifles. He was conscious all
the way, and asked for rests frequently
because of the pain in his head.
Private Walter A. K .owles of Sum
mit, Cal., was carried as missing by
company F, 363d. for quite a long time.
Some other outfit picked him up, how
ever, and carried him back, and he die
at 9 A. M. on October 6 at Fleury-sur
Aire in American Red Cross hospital
'o. 114, from multiple shrapnel wounds.
Another F company man who was miss
ing when the roll was checked up on
the night of the 28th was Private
Joseph B. Hennig. IVe was killed by
machine gup fire near Serieux farm
and was buried by the 35th division.
Oermans Driven Back.
While these woundings and killings
and others, for there is not space in
a limited serial to describe all were
taking place in the 363d, units of the
364th had penetrated Baulny woods
and were driving the Germans through
it. Baulny is a potato-shaped fringe
with a large, thinly-wooded opening in
the center. It is a half mile long and
h quarter mile deep. South of it runs
a ravine: the wood itself is rather
ridgy. At the west end of the woods
the ravine turns northward, then north
westward, and runs couth of the Tron
eol farm buildings. By late afternoon
' the western boys were destined to be
through the Baulny woods and up on
the Tronsol farm, striving to go beyond
each. Go beyond them they did, but
only for a short time.
In the advance to the woods, soon
after noon, I'rivates Carl Hoy of Bak-

Crocker street. Los Angeles, were
killed by probably the same sniper.
They had been forward with the first
platoon cleaning out dugouts and
houses, but had dropped tack to await
the rest of the company as flank fire
was getting them. HJbuck "tepped
into an open place and waas shot in
the stomach. The wound doubtless was
not mortal, and the private sat up by
some bushes awaiting a stretcher, for
which Private Nick Eischens of New
market, Minn., had gone when Hobuck
said to him: "Nick, run down and get
the first aid." Corporal Espanosa and
Private Ellwood gave their rifles to
Corporal Wallace A. Tinker eo they
could- help carry him, and left to help
bring the stretcher. When they got
back the sniper had shot Hobuck in
the stomach again and he was dead.

saw him hit. He went cautiously up
to the body, taking five minutes to it,
and Hoy was then dead. Ten minutes
before a company IC man had said to
Hoy, "Get out of that road.- You'll get
shot." "Well, we've got to get 'em
some way," he answered.
Company Iv Hard Hit.
The afternoon of the 28th was espe
daily sad for company Jv. Soon after
Hobuck and Hoy were sniped Private
Roy W. Cottrell of Lambert, Mont., was
seen to fall from a shot in the hip. A
lieutenant told Private James Moseley
of Calexico, Cal., to help him Ho cover.
Moseley took him by the hand and ran
for the edge of the woods, but on the
way he was shot in the back, under the
left shoulder. Moseley held him up till
he could go no further, making for
dugouts at the edge of the woods. When
he finally went down he asked to have
his pack cut off and reached into his
pocket for his knife, which he gave

Private Robert E. Kelley of K was
struck in the side about the same time
and fearfully hurt. Yet he smiled at
Captain Pande when he was carried
out, and said he would be all right.
When hit by the machine gun bullet,
which tore frpm right side to left side,
he crawled back ten feet behind an old
German machine gun emplacement,
where Sergeant Chester Harlin of
Bishop, Cal., lay, and asked the ser
geant to loosen his belt and take off
his pack. He asked for water and the
sergeant gave up his canteen. Then
the sergeant had "to advance, but 15
minutes later, on retiring again, he
found Kelly, had been carried back.
He asked for water frequently that
