Today Luke, who is a trifie over nineteen years old, wears three cam- paign Tibbons, a croix de guerre with a palm, two wound stripes and two other stripes indicating a year's service in France. Incidentally he is wearing half a dozen scars from Boche shrapnel and bullets. Luke is the son of the chief of po- lice of Georgetown, Pa. He was living at 1707 Arch street, Philadel- phia, when & recruiting poster caught his eye and he decided to see the world through the medium of the U. 8. Marine Corps traveling agency. By stretching his five feet six to the full limit and by looking the recruiting officer in the eye without blushing ! while he swore he was within the legal limit for enlisting, Luke got into the “Soldiers of the Sea.” The story of Luke's adventures since that date came out in this city when, while convalescing in a large military hospital, he got permission to visit the headquarters of the Knights of Columbus so that he could obtain free smokes and entertainment. He got both and I got his Story. Within a few months after Luke enlisted he earned his fi campaign ribbon by helping to impress the might of Uncle Sam on some of the | natives of San Domingo. A jaunt to Haiti was next in order where he acquired another ribbon. It was at Belleau Woods that Luke earned the right to wear the war cross with a palm. A detachment of the marines was with a French regi- ment at the time. On a little hillock | well camouflaged by a clump of { bushes, two German machine guns were spitting death into the ranks of the French and the marines. Twelve the two nests, and Luke was one of the twelve. The twelve divided into two bodies, but of the five with Luke only one | ! got as far as the objective with him. | The others were either killed or wounded. Three grenades well placed by the boy from Pennsylvania finished up the crew of the gun he was afte Over on the other part of the hil- lock Luke noticed his “pals” were having a tough time. He turned the gun he had captured on the Germans ill fighting with the other “bullet spitter” and not only finished them quickly, but Touted a counter attack made by about thirty of the Boche. | Aid arrived a little later, but before that time fragments of a shell had put Thayer out of action temporarily. Since that time he’s recovered enough to have had the war cross pinned on him, and he's happy, for the surgeons have told him he’ll get back into action soon. “This wouldn’t be such a bad old war,” said Thayer, “if only those | French generals wouldn't insist on kissing a guy when they pin a medal | on him, @etting into touch with Lillian for ' i hours to come. “There is some special important business going on from that telephone this morning, madam,” he said. “Our orders are strict not to let any outsid | calls interfere with the service.” “But this is a question of life death,” I returned, almost hyste “I am sorry,” he returned imper- turbably, “but we are given to under- , stand that the constant use of that telephone this morning is also a ques- tion of life and death. The best I can do for you is to take your number and get you a connection as soon as the | order to keep outside calls off is re- scinded.” I hung up the receiver with a fecl- ing of helplessness, all the more mad- dening because I did not dare to leave the house long enough to €0 in search of Lillian. My mother-in-law was in | such a state of nervous tension that she would surely suspect something was wrong if I took an unexpected . trip to the ecity, With a sudden impulse I hurried to the kitchen, finding Katie still at the sink with the breakfast dishes. ! “I may want you to go with me to- morrow on some errands, Katie# T said nonchalantly, “so if you will get | me the cleaning things I'll do the li- { brary and the living-room for you this ‘ morning." | | Katie glanced at me shrewd | _ “Dat's good” she said. “I know. You no tink so mooch ven you vork hard.” I made her no answer, for I couldn’t trust myself to speak, but when she had given me the cleaning implements I threw myself into a perfect orgy of work. | At the end of two hours I ! breathless, dusty and aching with fa tigue, but the temsion of my nerves had lessened In inverse proportion, and the idea of Dicky’s heing upon | the wrecked ship had shrunk from the absolute certainty of my morning ' conviction to a probability only.

Such names as Wilhelm Strasse,” “Bismarck Etrasse,” “Von Hindenburg Strasse,” took the pilace of the French names. When the American troops operating with the British entered these towns they took particular delight in destroying these signs and replacing the original French markings.
