‘THE EVENING WORLD, TU j SDAY, JANUARY 28, 1919, WHAT PRESIDENT WILSON SAW ON The BATTLEFIELD OF FAMOUS BELLEAU WOOD American Executive Hears Story of Great Fight From One Who Was in It. IS TOLD OF H Evening World Man Who Was There Draws Picture of the Conflict. By Lieut. Joseph Brady. (Late of 5th Regiment of Marines. ‘Member of The Evening World Staff.) | While farmers successfully ploughed the fields, carefully avoiding the little graves scattered about, President | Wilson yesterday afternoon visited the black tangled jungle of Belleau ‘Wood, that square mile of timber set in the heart of a great farming coun- try where for six weeks two regi- ments of American marines met and cut to pieces six German divisions. As he looked at the great trees of the forest, blasted and split by shell-fire, he was told the story of the battle, and in his mind he pictured It He was told by a man who was there, and I am going to try and tell you What the President saw as he listened to the tale. As he rode down the Paris-Metz highway tn his motor, the President | saw on all the roads leading up thou- sands of young Americans in khaki and the field gray of the marines, Then he saw them turning off to the | fields right and left, loading their rifles. He passed a ruined farmhouse where Gen. Harbord and Cols, Nevill and Catlin stood in the doorway shouting orders to officers passing | with thelr commands. The soldiers melted away in the tall wheat of the fields. ‘Then from the north came a line of retreating French soldiers, firing as they went back. They ran into the quiet American line, which was there unknown to most of them. The poilus and their officers yelled to the Ameri- cans to Get back! Get back; the Boches were coming and all would | be captured! CHARACTERISTIC REPLY TO AD- VICE TO RETREAT. ‘The officers caught the American of- ficers by their arms and begged them to go back, and some on rds that| an American officer said 0 back! | Hell, we just got here.” I heard Col. red Wise say those very words in the cemetery at Marigny, but at the same time it was coming from a thou- sand tongues and every officer in the) 9th and 234 Infantry and the Sth and 6th Marines were saying about the same thing to the French officers. Suddenly the French gave up and obeyed their orders to retire, and a moment later, a half mile to the north, there came into view the marching thin columns of the Ger- man Army. Every boy said a prayer and looked at the sights on his rifle Suddenly white pufs of skrapnel broke over the advancing German line and here and there a handful dropped. Then came the word to fire, and out of the tall wheat came the blast of death to the Boche. He broke, then tried to reorganize, but finally turned and fled into the wood The next day the Boche began fight us, but if I am to tell what th President saw from that time on I must assign him to the 2d Wmttation commanded by Lieut. Col, Wise. PRESIDENT SAW HEROISM RAISED TO HIGHEST PLANE. For four days, assuming that now the President is with the 2d Hat- talion, Sth Marines, he lay in a ‘ttle bole im a wheat field, with nothing toe eat and nothing to drink and he clutched and dug deeper tnt | young | heir nerve alone, wanted to | were going we! |tars and Jand that was to bring the he heard the ¢-e-e-y-a-a-h ery of the Leathernecks, Then he saw the score of men come tack with dripping bayonets, They were the first bloody bayonets I had ever seen, and I felt sick all over for a mjpute. ‘Then I realized they meant victory, and I with the crowd when a moment later the shout went along the permission to attack. These worn boys—I can’t call them anything else because they were so hungry, thirsty, living attack The next day they did and the Battle of Belleau Woods began. We who had been in for four days were put in reserve when the others swept acroas the wheat fields and into the wrecked forest.
