' PAfiE SIX * 4> YORK MAN IS HERO | 1 OF "NO MAN'S LAND" i J I>r. Hunter Was Ministering to' Wounded Soldiers When Captured liy Huns. York. Aug. 22.?Dr. Philip Hunit crtn t\f Mra I T M.mtn.. ^ * I V , ?? 0V1I v? *'*? O. U U . tlUIUCI , \Fl this place, now a prisoner in a German military prison camp, is a real hero, and in time probably be recognized and honored by the military / authorities of England, with which V forces he was serving in Franco when he was captured by the Huns and carried across Germany to a | war prison camp. Dr. Hunter hasi written at- least one letter that has reached Ms relatives here, hut didn't give any details as to how he happened to be captured. He was too modest for that. The Information, 1] however, has reached his folks hero ? In quite a different fashion. Miss Francis Parish, a native of ' York, but for several years past a resident in New Yoru, where she is one of the editors of The Review of PI Reviews magazine, was a visitor here Saturday, coming to spend the day and look over the town and people' whom she knew and to greet her j ^ ? many frfends. Besides her maga-jjac .* *lne work in New York Miss Parish does quite a bit of other work?| j-V( work in which she can help others. nej She told this story of how she learn- ; ed about the heroism of Dr. Ilun-' j ja !h01 - ft 7?"T' heard the story from Dr. Mc-i,|)e dill, a Scotch-Canadian, who had j (| V* "been three years in the service of col] France, and who was lecturing In j)et T?Cew York a few weeks ago, his sub-jaa Ject being the self-sacrificing hero- wo Ism of individual soldiers. Dr. Mc-,i r Gill is a chaplain, not an M. D. hef From what the speaker said I Rath- pa ered that he was an eye witness to |n() what he was talking about. Any-'sloe how, as I understood him. it was not ing far from Cambrai. He said that wa; & positi\c!y the most heroic act he had ever witnessed, and he believed the j hoc jLi ^ war had developed nothing greater, I g was performed by three young army goc surgeons. One of them was from wo Chicago, one from Ohio and the! ] other was Philip Hunter, of ?o,,fblmo Carolina. He mentioned the names pel of the others, but I have forgotten j am them. Of course, there was no mis- me take about Philip, because I was |X'i thrilled by the knowledge of such a lisl *" igreat thing in a hoy of my own ac- jsjV( quaintance from mv own home ) town. " 'We were facing the Germans in rtlr enr trenches,' said Dr. McGllI, 'with ''an hIiaIIq nnmini* nnt I p-ninp1 uhon vvp iiiii saw four or Ave of our men run in-jabl to a cloud of poison pas that was j beinp wafted over No Man's Land.j _~-Tho_ men were caupht unawares and fell The doctors saw them.

As j + they approached the prostrate men , they lost their way and heing unable H .to see with their pas masks on, tore 'jk them off down to the parts that covered their mouths. The enemy bergan shellinp and that made the work more difficult l'hilip was overcome by the pas and fell while A -w trvlnp to help the men on whose account he had pone out. There was . every reason to believe that the younp doctor was dead and it was ' not worth while under the clreum stances to bring him in. It waS|?" gome time after that before it was j d definitely learned that Dr. Hunter a was a prisoner.' " f Such Is the story as told by Miss * Parish and it has been heard here by Dr. Hunter's friends with very ^ #reat pleasure. ?The first Information. received,-"? here early in May, was to the effect ? that Dr. Hunter was missing. Then , several weeks later, through the Red . < Cross, it was learned that he was a To ^prisoner, and a short time after his I mother received a letter from Dr. sen ^ Hunter himself, In which he told of tifb W bis whereabouts. 191 It will be remembered that Dr. reg ; vHunter volunteered for service last the - tall and was assigned to work with In a British regiment in France after a reg : * atay of several months in an English eve , hospital.
