CLARENCE LIKINS FINDS THRILLS INSIDE A TANK Tells of Heated Engagement Only After Recovering From Wounds That Put Him Out of Fighting. YOUTH CITED FOR BRAVERY Tank Runs Into Shell Hole and Is Deserted, While Crew Finds Another and Rescues Officer. The PeoioleAfe UeiBS OB WB UOflfiF m ox w jaoie w mw mm i r .Wounded and gassed while in service I (f the Argonne with the light tanks, Private Clarence C. Liklns of 1481 The Alameda, "has arrived In the United States on the transport Matsonia. While In the service Private Llkins was cited for distinguished conduct for helping a wounded lieutenant to safety under shell fire. In a recent letter to his wife he tells the story of his adventure: "My driver drove our tank into a big shell hole filled with water and so deep that we couldn't get out. Taking our machine gun with ua (and it was very heavy to carry far), we started to hunt up another tank. The barrage had been put over by the artillery and the Hel nies were launching a gas attack when we found a. lieutenant whose gas mask was broken and he was about done for. We dropped our machine gun and helped him to safety and because of the heavy fire of the Germans around us we re ceived a citation for this. "At last we ran into another tank. The driver or gunner had evidently opened the door to let a little fresh atr in. as it gets so hot in a moving tank, ana both men inside had "gone west.' We took them out and boarded the tank our selves. I remember we fere advancing under terrible fire and the noise of the machine gun bullets hitting the tank was deafening, although our ears were well stopped with waste. I remember we cleaned out a lot of the machine gun nests and then I don't remember much. I guess we were hit," for I was suddenly behind the lines, lying between white sheets." Private Likins qualified as an expert gunner with a light tank, of which he was commander. Not until he felt as sured of his recovery In a hospital did he write his wife of his experience. He Is now anticipating an early return to his home in Portland. As an ambulance driver in the thick of the fight at Chateau-Thierry, on the Marne and continuing in active service until August 19, when he was sent to St. Mihiel and then to the Verdun sector, Orie K. Harris, son of John S. Harris of this city, who has three brothers in the . service, is now in the army of oc cupation In Germany. I Kor a short time before the signing of : the armistice young Harris was sent ; back of the lines to rest and at the end of the rest period the armistice had been, signed and Harris was sent with hisftmbtUance into Germany. "On December 1. we crossed tile river into Germany and went down the' Rhine about 50 miles to the town where I am now billeted," writes Private Harris. "I think gas is the worst thing in the line of attack. You hear a shell com ing and you duck, getting down In less than a second, but you feel as if you were standing up as high as a house and then if it Is gas you have to manage to put on your mask." sa Leaving for France with the 31,6th engineers on a ship which was tor pedoed, but which managed to make port safel'. Private Adam II. Peters, 554 Failing street, was in service at Ypres. After the signing of the arm istice his unit traveled on foot nearly all the distance to Brussels and there they took part in the triumphal entry of King Albert. In Belgium the citizens have been more than hospitable. In some cases the family has moved into basement quar ters in the house, giving the more de sirable rooms as billets to the American Boldiers. Private Peters sent his sister. Mrs. (',. M. Webber, 270 Shaver street, a Belgian rose, which he found growing in solitary splendor in a shell torn gar den among the debris of a ruined home.
