I'endleton, Sept. 20. Frank Berlin of
Athena is lying at the hospital with a
broken leg and a broken arm, the result
of an automobile smashup, and Mrs.
Berlin and daughter are suffering from
minor injuries. Berlin and family were
on their way to the Round-Up w'hen a
car, whose driver Is unknown, collided
with their car.
Fritz Seidl, former Spartacan leader,
and five of his associates were executed
In Munich Friday.
Possessor of a Croix de Guerre, di
rect descendent of Polish royalty,
August Marcus von Poniatowski now
lives in Marshfield, working at his
trade of boiler making, not one of
his fellow workers guessing his care
fully concealed record, for bravery
or knowing of his illustrious ances
tors. Less than a year ago, he alone,
after his companion had been killed,
took a Boche machine-gun nest,
killed four gunners and smashed the
gun. For this he cherishes, but does
not tell about, the highest award
given by the French government
for military bravery
August Poniatowski. as he modestly
calls himself, having dropped the sign
of nobility from his name, enlisted In the
American army early in 1918. In July
of that year he left for France. After
a few weeks' intensive training there
he was Bent to the front line trenches
suad there fought as other Americans
fought, probably no better or no worse.
DIT NOT WAST TO CfO
His fighting life was rio more eventful
than that of other soldiers until one
day he was detailed to go on patrol duty
with Corporal Karl Dabroskl, another
Polish youth, who for years had been his
best friend. The "duty" was to find
a Boche machine gun which for days
had been taking heavy toll of that por
tion of the trenches in which the two
were stationed.
"I did not want to go," Poniatowski
frankly admits, "and asked the captain
to relieve me."
His request was refused, and early
in the afternoon of October 15, he and
the corporal, after taking the usual pre
cautions of removing all Identifying In
signia, started on their hazardous
search. Each carried six hand grenades,
a pistol and a short bladed knife. The
trenches they left were in the Purehelle
sector. In the valley of the Mozelle.
The machine gun toward which they
were directed was somewhere near the
top of a small hill, thinly covered with
bufehes. The two moved as quickly as
possible, endeavoring to keep within
cover" of' the protecting shrubs. Their
movements were evidently detected, for
the gun soon began sending its missiles
In their direction.
BEST FRIEND IS KILLED
The ascent was made safely, however,
until, .within a few yards of the nest,
the corporal, in advance was seen by
Poniatowski to convulse suddenly, and
then lie motionless. Cautiously crawl
ing to the prone body, he saw the upper
half of the head had been blown away.
"I was sure that either way I went,"
h says, Vthey would get me."
He slowly and stealthily slipped under
the dead body of his friend and there
devised a plan, awaiting opportunity to
carry it out This was at 3 in the aft
ernoon. With the weight of the bleed
ing corpse upon him, he lay until the
approach of darkness, then, freeing him
self of the burden, crept within a few
feet of the nest. He had six hand gre
nades, which he expected to do the work
he had planned. He figured that to

August Poniatowski
throw one of them would probably pro
duce no results .other than to warn the
Boches of his nearness, and would prob
ably result in his sudden demise. So
he decided to throw two at once.
T1.X-S PB.OVES EFFECTIVE
Grasping a pair of the bombs in his
left hand, he with one jerk pulled the
two wires which set free the operating
levers. Five and one-half seconds elapse
before the explosion occurs after the
freeing: of the levers. In that space
of time one of the grenades had been
transferred to his right hand, and simul
taneously he hurled the two into the
nest Just above him. The performance
was repeated until the six were gone.
Then, with his pistol ready, he leaped
up and Into the nest. Three dead Boches
sprawled over the floor, and a fourth'
writhed, exposing a thigh from which
much of the flesh had been torn away.
The American soldier rushed over to
the German and. seeing him make no
effort to defend himself, sat down. Im
mediately there commenced a plea from
the Boche gunner for mercy, the finale
being a recital of the story of his life.
He had passed much time In Poland,
knew the language and the country well,
and had done military service there in
the early days of the war.
BOAST BRINGS DEATH
Becoming confident, he boasted of
atrocities committed and finally, with
elaborate braggadocio, told of his proud
est achievement, the violating of two
young Polish girls.
The knife of the young Pole was drawn
involuntarily.
"I only touched him with It." he shud
deriijgly explains, but the next instant it
was free, dripping red and hot. Shortly
after, four patrols, sent to search for
the two, long overdue, found htm there,
surrounded by the four Boche corpses
and the fragments of the .machine gun,
which he had smashed. "He returned
with his comrades to the trenches.
work was recorded, his daily round
of flgluing and suffering resumed, but
he found himself increasingly unable to
forget the astonished face of the Boche
gunner as he saw a knife suddenly
seeking his vitals.
MEMOBY IS KIGHTMABE
The memory of the few hours as
sumed the proportions of a horrible
nightmare, then one day, a week from
the time .he took the nest, Poniatowski,
while in a dugout with four companions,
received two wounds, the result of a
shell bursting, which killed two of the
four and wounded the others. He was
taken to a hospital, but while healing
of the body was effected, the weight
on his mind became unbearable and he
sought for peace in confession to his
priest.
'If I could," the priest told him while
he gave him absolution, "I would make
a holy saint of you."
The weight on his conscience vanished
and three weeks after receiving the
wounds he was again in the fighting line.
He continued In active service until the
signing of the armistice."
CROSS BEARS STAR
After the cessation of hostilities, he
made application to be allowed to go
to Germany with the American army of
occupation. This was granted, and he
later received his silver starred croix
de guerre, and was given a month's leave
to return to Poland to look for mem
bers of his family, whom he had not
seen since coming to America, eight
years ago.
Nine years ago the father of Ponia
towski, Casimir von Poniatowski, was
executed by the Russian government for
leading an insurrection at Kalisch, the
object of which was the freeing of Po
land from Russian dominion. At the
same time an elder brother was sent to
the mines of Siberia, whence no news
of him ever came. There remained of
the family only Augustus, his mother
anfl a young daughter.
Twice before he was 14 years of age he
had been exiled from the country. When
t years old he had been sent to Italy,
remaining there until he was 12. Return
ing, he was sent to a monastery, but,
after a time, warning again was given
his mother he must be sent from Poland
or he would be executed.
SOW AMERICAN CITIZEN
That was eight years ago and he came
to America and is now a naturalized
citizen. Soon after his comilng here,
the estates of Mme. Poniatowski were
seized and the family left penniless. The
Polish youth, adrift in a strange land,
came to the Pacific coast and learned
the trade of a; boilermaker.
Arriving in Poland for the first time
since his exile, he. found that his mother
and sister, during the bombardment of
Kalieh by the Germans early in the war,
were among the thousands of refugees
who made their way into the interior: of
Russia, where trace of them was lost.
Poniatowski was assisted by Polish au
thorities in' his searoh for them, which
proved fruitless. He, however, hopes
to find them when war tangles are un
raveled. While in his own country he was giv
en the ovation due the great-grandson
of Stanislaus II. last king of Poland,
and was offered a commission i In the
Polish army. This he could not accept,
because of his inability to gain release
from the American army. He was among
the last of the troops to leave Europe,
arriving bere a month ago. .
He works at bis trade In the shops of
the Southern Pacific railroad In Marsh
field. There be goes about bis daily
tasks, a quiet, modest man, the intensity
of bis eyes and aa occasional nervous
gestere the only evidence ef past dis
tressing experiences. His fellow workers
know nothing of the croix de guerre, of
the ovation given him in Poland, where
he Is ranked withthe first of the land.
He, to them, is just one of many who
have returned to the work they left lor
a little time.
