MAHNE HERO AGAIfJ
WITH HIS FIGHTERS
General McAlexander Takes
Command at Camp Lewis.
FAMOUS 38TH INCLUDED
Leader Who Held Lines Against
German Hordes Is Welcomed
by His Old Regiment.
TACOMA, Wash., Oct. 19. (Special.)
Exactly 39 month ago the world
heard that the last German offensive,
designed to reach Pari, had been
slopped at the Marne by American
troops.
On the 38th Infantry regiment and
Its commander, Colonel Ulysses Grant
McAlexander. fell the main force of
the German attack. The result of
the battle brought the title "the Rock
of the Marne" to Colonel McAlexan
j der and his regiment.
It was due to Brigadier-General
McAlexander, then Colonel McAlexan
der, that the German offensive went
no further than the Marne. After
three days of desperate fighting he
received word that positions had been
prepared behind him to which he
could retreat.
"Fall back If you think best," was
the order.
"Js It up to my decision?" asked the
colonel.
Ves."
"Then I hold my lines."
Aaala Commaada Marne lait.
Brigadier-General McAlexander, the
same man who led the 38th to victory,
arrived at Camp Lewis to take com
mand of the 6th infantry brigade.
Included In the 6th brigade is the
36th Infantry, the same regiment that
hurled back the Germans July 15,
1D18.
Next to Major-General Charles H.
Mulr, General McAlexander is the
ranking officer now at Camp Lewis.
He did not come with the 3d division,
as he was on leave at the time that
organisation moved west from Camp
I'ike. Arriving unexpectedly, he re
ceived a wildly enthusiastic welcome
from the men of the 38th whom be
had led to victory during the great
war.
The general's battle experience was
not confined to the campaign In
France. In the Spanish-American
war, when a captain of volunteers,
he was recommended for promotion
for gallantry under fire in the bat
tles before Santiago. In the Philip
pine insurrection he served as a cap
tain with the regular troops. After
his graduation from West Point in
1887 he took part in several Indian
campaigns. General McAlexander has
a fighting record equaled by few of
the officers In the American army.
FlgfcU Way to Sedan.
"The Rock of the Marne" was not
content to rest on his laurels after
the battle In which he won the title.
ThouKh twice wounded while com
manding his men in the Marne bat
tle, 'he led the regiment on to the
fight at Jaulgonne on July 22, and
commanded during the operations
which culminated in the driving of
the Germans from the line of the
Vesle on August 2 to 10. Shortly
after these operations he was pro
moted to be brigadier-general, and
was placed In command of the 180th
infantry brigade of the 90th division,
known In the army as the Texas bri
gade. Ho commanded this organi
sation through the battle of St. Mihlel
and all through the Meuse-Argonne
campaign, which culminated with the
capture of Sedan.
Few officers in the American or
any other army have the right to
wear the decorations which are In
dicated on General McAIexander's uni
form by the short colored bars on the
left breast. He Is the holder of the
distinguished aervice medal and the
distinguished service cross, both
American decorations; la an officer
of the French Legion of Honor, an
honor attained by few Americans; has
the French crolx de guerre with four
palms and the Italian war cross. In
addition, he wears the victory cam
paign medal with six bronse stars
and one silver star, denoting six ma
jor actions and a wound, and the rib
bons of the Indian campaigns, the
Spanish-American war, the Cuban
campaign and the Philippine insurrection.

MAN SAID TO HAVE TAUGHT
y ALIEN WIFE HOW TO SWEAR
Charlotte Gedlich and Husband Tell Story to Municipal Judge Rossman.
Husband Ordered to Change Educational Methods.
CUSS words vere about all that
Fred Gedlich has attempted to
teach his wife Charlotte since
she arrived in this country from Ger
many one short year ago. And when
Fred and Charlotte engaged In one of
those little family arguments which
spring up now and then Charlotte be
gan displaying her new-found knowl
edge In no uncertain manner.
Such was the testimony of the hus
band when he appeared before Judge
Rossman in police court yesterday for
fighting his wife. Gedlich said his
wife's prolific and proficient "cussing"
caused him to lose his temper and
strike her.
In broken English Mrs. Gedlich ex
plained to the court that her ability
as a linguist has been limited solely
to her husband's teachings and that
the cuss words she directed in his gen
eral direction were nothing more than
pet names he had been calling her
since she arrived from the old country.
Gedlich was fined 310 and was di
rected by the court to extend his
wife's American education Into differ
ent paths.
It's an expensive pastime to at
tempt to "spoof Judge Rossman.
Leon Johnson found this out to his
sorow In speeders' court. Leon was
charged with failing to give the right
of way. A brief examination by the
court disclosed that he didn't know a
thing about giving signals at street
crossings.
"Here, take this little traffic book
and go back there on a rear seat and
study it," ordered the court. "Later I
will see how well you have learned
your lesson.
With a knowing grin Johnson re
tired to a rear bench and sat down.
Apparently he was hard at his studies.
but some thoughtful person noticed
that the book was turned upside down.
Judge Rossman also detected Johnson
peering over the edge of the book at
frequent Intervals listening to the
trial of two negro women from the
north end.
An hour later Johnson was again
called to the bar. Once more he was
given an oral examination on traffic
regulations and once more he proved
to be a dismal failure.
"I'm afraid you'll have to go to the
foot of the class," ordered "Prof"
Roesman. "You can take this book
home to study at nights, but It will
cost you Just $10. Just pay the tui

Corrlgan's body was recovered
shortly before noon today by Coroner

dragging the river with grappling
hooks at the scene of the accident.
He had a cut over the right eye and
his right shoulder appeared to have
been dislocated. No trace of Hickle's
body has been found, although the
grappling was continued until late
today and will be resumed at low
tide tonight.
The car, with Chauffeur Hickel and
Miss Scott occupying the front seat,
and E. J. Corrigan, Henry Ewing and
Pearl Hutchinson In the tonneau,

Auto Skids From Bridge.
The driver of the car apparently
did not hear or see the warning sig
nals until close to the open draw
when he applied the brakes with the
result that the auto skidded several
feet striking, the side of the bridge
and then toppled overboard.
The crew of the steamer Coquille
witnessed the accident and turning
about quickly rescued Miss Scott, who
was found by using the searchlight as
she was floating just beneath the
surface of the water. Miss Hutchin
son was rescued by Chris and Ole
Jensen, fishermen living near the
bridge, who launched a skiff and
went to her aid. Harry Ewlng was
able to swim to the cribbing of the
bridge pier where he clung until
picked up by the steamer Miller..
Members of the party admit that all
had been drinking during the night
ride and Miss Scott said she had cau
tioned the chauffeur regarding his
reckless driving shortly before the
crash came. None of the injured was
believed to be dangerously hurt.
Car Is Salvaged.
