FIGHTING UNDER TWO FLAGS
MMtMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
By J. W. Pegler
(United Press staff correspondent)
This is the fifth and last instalment
of the story of the heroes of the Am
erican Legion who fought first under
the British, flag and then under the
Stars and Stripes in the great wax,
and most of whom, including Lieut,
OoL Richard H. Griffiths and Mat.
Alexander Eassmussen, now sleep be
neath the soil of France.
The trails of the American soldiers
crossed many times after Rass ami
Captain Jock went to the front with
the Canadians. They would relieve one
another in tiie line, .parsing in the
!a;rk, and fail to moot. After several
months however, Jock was gassed and,
upon leaving the homntal, on his way
back to rejoin his unit he met Griffith
and Mack.
Meanwhile the American fcgion fel
lows were being picked off, one by
one. Lieut. Frank Hines, a Minneapo
lis telegraph operator, was killed go
ing over the top in the gTeat Easter
Monday attack, when- the Canadians
captured Vimy Radge. Frank Jones,
of Oak Cliff, Dallas, Tsx., known as
Ol' Tex." a company cook, was
picked off by a sniper.

his major was knocked out and com'

ed posations before accepting relief.

Eassmussen was the American legion
type of man.
Got Bad Smashing
Colonel Griffiths' wounds kept him
out for only short periods until he got
what he leslled "a bad smashing" by
a big piece of metal in 1917. When he
camo out of the hospital his right arm
was practically useless, and he would
offer his left hand on meeting a friend.
"This is my war souvenir," he said
on the day his American battalion of
the American arniy went into the line
for the first time, and he produced
three photographs from his old, tat
tered kit-bag. They were X-rav prints
showing where a piece of his shoulder
had been removed by the surgeons.
It was in a little battered village
a'bout three miles f'om the trenches.
Griffiths
sat in the gloaming at a
little table with a bottle of beer and
a tin of American slum before him
giving orders in his quiet but impera
tive way to younger officers" and or
derlies who came in and out. If they
were nervous on this first night ol
their big adventure, tho quiet, effi
cient Confidence of Col. Griffiths
must have rc-assured them, for they
showed no nervousness.
A hundred French officers had oc
cupied this little room before him and
the walls were covered with illustra
tions clipped from "La Vie Pcrisienne.'
Griffiths' Last Bide
It grew dark. lie dumped his stray
things into his kit, gave that peculiar
'shake of the loft hand to his friends
aud, followed by his American order
ly, mounted his horse.
Stationing himself at the crossroads,
'he sat like a statue in the dusk, quiet
ly directing platoons and squads down
that road toward the trenches. The
ticklish business of the relief was an
old story to him, but Colonel Griffiths
was as cautious that night as he was
on the night of his first trip in.
Kitchens, ration wagons, . little
groups of soldiers, tough, patient Mis
souri mules drawing machine guns
'all the methodical confusion of traffic
incidental to a relief went down the
road with scarcely on mis-step.

urn, uhs rixeiveu tno loliowing letter
from her son in France, with the Am
erican engineers:
Dear Mother and Sister: Well, I was
pretty lucky today. I got ten letters.
Still they are the first I have received
for eix weeks. There really isn't .much
to tell about over here, that is that I
ciiu iviite; lots of things happen that
are interesting ibut I'll have to wait
till I get homo to tell you. However,
you can rest assured that American
men will win .this war and you don't
have to bo here a year to see it
either. Th: fellows that have been hero
the last three or four years certainly
deserve a medal of honor if anyone
ever am. i used to thinJt all this talk
of Huu barbarity was a lot of bunk,
but its not, they can't stretch it a bit
too far; have met several American
girls over horr; nurses, and it seems
good to talk to them believe me. They
seem to havo that good old American
pep .that we never appreciate until we
get away from them, my hat comeg off
to the girls from now on if ever it did.
I don't 'know whether we can get
anything or rather whether you can
send things to me or not, some say
yes, some no. However, If you can, send
candy, the sweet stuff is what we
miss tho most; you can't buy anything
hero but a very poor grade of choeolnto
everything is sky high and they take
great pains to hook an American sol
dier, they seem to think all Americans
are millionaires. Ho if you can send a
little candy it will help, but be sure
it is very well wrapped. I am feeling
fine. I missed Chuck by a day or two
in one place but don't know where
he is. Lovo from FKKD.
Orgon's forests will supply four bil
lion board feet saw timber annually for

agement implies elflcient protectim,
