Paris, Sopt. 27. Tha Y. M. C. A.
man told the story with tear In bla
eyes and a break In his voice. He
said that it was the saddest, thing
that he aver had encountered, which
meant much. He had been a long
time In France, so death and suffer
ing were no stranger to him.. But
when be spoke of the sergeant and
the private that they had found dead
beside their machine gun ho couldn't
control his emotion.
It seems that the sergeant and the
private had been caught In a pocket.
The Oermnns, In force, were in front
of them. There was a barrage be
hind which made It Impossible for
them to rejoin their company, ao they
stayed and roughed It out, fought In
a manner that made one proud to be
of tha nme race.
When they found them there was
a pile' of empty shells several Inches
high around tha gun and not a single
round of unexpended ammunition, re
mained. The two bad held off a
whole company of iBoche machine
gunners tor several hour. '
The enomy had been around a
bend In the road, a scant 50 yards
away, and hadn't been able to ad
vance because of the brisk fire of
the' lone American gun manned by
the sergeant and the private.
