PAGE FOUR MEET AFTER TWO YEARS OF WAR Brothers From Chicago Hold Happy Reunion in Paris. ONE AMONG FIRST PRISONERS Harry Loughman Was Among First 1,000 Yanks to Fight Huns and Among the First Eleven to Be Cap- tured—Spent Long Year in German Prison Camps—Honored by Being Made Peace Conference Guard— Brother Steve Also Saw Action. “’Lo, Steve!” ©Why, b'gosh, it’s Hy. Howdy, bud- dle.” “By the—why, where'd you come from?" The two clasped hands. And so Pri- vate Harry Loughman, after a span of two years of war, met his brother, Steve, In Paris. Back on April 6, 1917, the Lough- man home at 461 Oakwood boulevard, Chicago, was a-twitter over the dec- laration of war. Harry, the eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Stephen H. Lough- man, enlisted that .ay. In First Ten Thousand. The next day he sald good-by to his younger brother, Stephen, and left for Texas. In a short time he went across among the first 10,000 Yanks to reach France. He was among the first 1,000 to fight the Huns and among the first eleven to be captured. Back home, Stephen, only 16, yearned for action and a sight of France. He gained his parents’ per- mission, became a patriotic falsifier by telling the recruiting officers that he was 18, and joined the army. He, too, went over and did his part in the fight. Came peace. Harry was released from a German prison and named as & member of the president’s guard of honor at the peace conference. Steve, with his detachment in Luxemburg, | obtalned a furlough and went to see Paris. It was there that they met after a span of two years, Emotion is taboo in the American expeditionary forces, but the gruff sol- dlers who saw the reunion between the two young brothers admit they temporarily lost all interest in the fourteen points and freedom of the scas. The colonel himself tossed his brand new cigar out of the window and remarked he'd better be going to write some letters home. Harry, after enlisting, got across in three months, fought on the Lorraine front and was captured November 3. Transferred from camp to camp, he finally got to the “strafe” camp at ‘Tuchel, where he was kept in under- ground quarters. There were 45,000 Russ'ans there, cach day. Food consisted chiefly of thin potato soup. Through mediation | of the Red Cross, he was removed to a camp near Baden. A month after’ the armistice he was released. [t rc~‘3 quired one month at a base hospital In | Vichy to regain his strength partly. Then he was honored by nppnlnl-l ment to the peace conference guard, Company 2. and will return to the states with President Wilson. Steve returned to his company in Luxem-. burg after the reunion. Writes to Parents. “Dwear mother and father,” writes Harry, “we are together again for the first time in ubout two years. Steve looks fine. I was guard at the presi- dent’'s house when Steve was out to my barracks looking for me. 1 was relleved before noon on Friday, and when 1oarrfved at harracks, outside Paris, they all said a7 brother Steve was here. | “1 found a note he left In the office asking me to meet him in a Y.
