“Gunner Depew” is not a
work of fiction, but it is
more thrilling than any fie-,
tion you ever read. It is the
true story of the Texperi-
^nGes of an American boy
who had a fighting career
that is unique in the annals
of the great war. • It is a
story crowded with fighting
and adventure — big with
human courage and endur
ance. It is the first war nar
rative that’ tells the true
story of conditions in the
German prison camps. It
is a story that every'Ameri
can should and will read to
the end.

came down from the bridge and shook
hands with me! "~v '
After this they did not haze mb
much. This was the beginning of a
certain -reputation that I had in the
navy for fist^work. Later on I had a
reputation for- swimming, too. That
first day they began calling me
“Chink,” though I don't know why,
and it has, been my nickname in the
navy ever since.
, I,t is a curious thing, and I never
could understand it, but garbles, and
marines never mix. The marines are
good men and great fighters, aboard
and ashore, hut we garbles never have
a word for them, nor they for us. On
shore leave abroad we pal up with
foreign garbles, even, but hardly ever
with a marine. Of course they are
with us strong in case we have a scrap
with a liberty party off some foreign
ship—they cannot keep ojit, ; ofva fight
any more than we can-M>ut afteri it
is over they are on their way at once
and we on ours.
There are lots of things like that
in the navy that you'cannot figure out
mixed up-in such dirty work as they
said ’there was In Belgium. I figured
the soldiers were like the sailors. But
I found out I was wrpng about both.
One thing that .opened my eyes a
bit was the trouble my.mother had in
getting out of Hanover, where she
was when the war started, and hack
,to France. , She always wore a little
Arperican flag and this both saved and
endangered her. Without it, the Ger
mans would have interned her as a
Frenchwoman, and with it, she was
sneered at and insulted time and
again before she finally managed to
get over the border. She died about
two months after she reached St. Na-
zaire. / / ' v— ’
• Moreover, I heard' the fate of my
older brother, who had made his home
in France with my grandmother. He
had gone to the front at the outbreak
of the war with the Infantry from St.
Nazaire and had been killed two or
three weeks afterwards. This made
it a sort of personal matter.
But what put the finishing touches
to me were the stories a wounded
CHAPTER I. 1
In the American Navy; • 7
My father was a seaman, so, nat
urally, all n>y life I heard a great deal
about ship's and the sea. Even when
I was a little boy, in Walston, I*a. f I
thought about them a whole lot and
wanted to be. a sailor—especially a
sailor in the U. S. navy.
You might say I was brought up on
the water. j
When I was twelve years old I went
to sea as cabin hoy on the whaler
Therifus, out of Boston. She was an
old square-rigged sailing ship, built
more for Work than for speed. We
. were out four mortiths on my first
cruise, and got knocked around a lot,
'especially in a storm on the Newfound
land Banks, where we lost oyr instru
merits, and had a hard time navigat
ing the ship. Whaling crews work on
shares and during theTvCo years 1 was
on the Therifus my shares amounted
to fourteen hundred dollars.
Then I shipped ns first-class helms
man on -the British tramp Southern-
down, a twin-^crew steamer out of
Liverpool* Many people are surprised
that a fourteen-year-old boy should be
helmsman on an ocean-going craft,
hqt all over the world you will see
yo^ng lads doing their trick at the
wheel. I was on the Southerndown
two years and in that time visited
most, of the important ports of Eu-
( rope. There is nothing like a tramp
steamer if you want to see the world.
The Sou them down is the .vessel that,
in the fall of 11'IT, sighted a German
V-hoot rigged up like n sailing ship.
Although I liked visiting the foreign
ports, I got,tired of the Southerndown
after a while and at the end of a voy
age which landed me in New York I
decided to get into the United States
navy. After laying around for-a week
or ten I enlisted and was assigned to
Vduty ns a second-class fireman.
People have said thejMhought I was
pretty small to be a fireman; they
have the idea that firemen must he big
men. Weil, I am 5 feet 7^4 inches in
height, and when I was sixteen I was
just as talmas I am now and weighed
IDS pound^. I was a whole lot husk
ier then, toekjfor that was before my,
introduction to kultur in German pris
on camps, und life there is not exactly
fattening—jiot exactly. I do not know
why it is. but if you will notice the
navy, firemen—the lads with the red
stripes around their left shouklers-r
you will find that almost all of-them
are small men. But’they are a husky
lot... ' • , ‘
' “Now, In the navy, they always haze
a newcomer until he shows that he
can tako care of himself, and I got
mine very soon after ,1 went Into Un
cle Sam’s service. I was washing my
clothes in a bucket on the forecastle
deck, and every gartvy (sailor) who
came along would give me or the
bucket a kick, and spill one or tlm
both of us. Each time 4 would move
to some other place, but 1 always
geemrd to be in somebody’s way. Fk
nally I saw- a marine coming. I was
nowhere near him, but he hauled out
of his course to come up to me and
gave the bucket a boot,that sent it
twenty feet away, at the same time
handing me a clout on* the ear that.
Just about knocked me down. Now,
I did not exactly know what a marine
was, and this fellow had so many
stripes on hlsflsleeves that I thought
he must be some sort of officer, so I<
just stood by. There was a gold stripe
(commissioned officer) on the bridge
and I knew that If anything was
wrong he would cut In, ^o kkept look
ing up at him, but he stayed where he
was, looking on, and never saying a
word. And all the time the marine
the,same rations and equipment as ttye
regular French army before it went tfr,
the 'front. Their food consisted of
bread, soup, and vino, as wine is called
almost everywhere in the world. In
tfie morning they received half a loaf
of Vienna bread and coffee. At noon
they each had a large dixie of thick
soup, and at three in the afternoon
more bread and a bottle of vino. The
soup was more like a stew—very
thick with meat and' -vegetables. .-At
one of the officers’ barracks there was
a cook who had been ^hefin the larg
est hotel in Paris, before the war.
All the prisoners were welt clothed.
Once a week, socks, pnderwear. soap,
towels and blankets were issued to
them, and every week the barracks
and equipment were fumigated. They
were given the best of medical atten
tion. ■ *
Besides all this, they were allow-ed
to work at their trades, if they had
any. All the carpenters, cobblers,

is the largest, and nobody will deny

The War Breaks;
After serving four years and three
months in the U. S. navy, P received
an honorable discharge on ^Lpril 14,

>offleer, first-class gunner. It is not
uncommon for garbles to lie around a

was my intention to loaf for a few

There was not much racket around
New York, stfl made up my mind all
of a sudden to" go over and get some
for myself. Believe me, I got enough
racket before I was through. Most
of the* really important things I have
done have happened like that: I did
them on the jump, you might say.
Many-other Americans wanted a look,,
too; there were five thousand Amer
icans in the Canadian army at one
time they say. —-
I would not claim that I went over
there to save democracy, or anything*
like that. I never did like Germans,
and I never met a Frenchman who wus
not kind to me, and what I heard
about the way the Huns treated the
Belgians made me sick. I used to get
out of bed to go to an all-night picture
show, I thought about it so" much.
But there was not much excitement
about New York, and. I figured the
U. S. would not get into it for a while,
anyway) so I Just wanted to go oyer
and see what it was like. That is
why lots of us went, I think.
' There were five of us who went to
Boston to ship for the other side:
Sajm Murray, Ed Bro%vn, Tim Flynn,
_ Mitchell and myself. Murray was an ex-
garby—twojiltches (enlistments), gun-
pointer rating, and, about thirty-five
years old. Brown was a Pennsylvania
man about twenty-six years old, who
had served two enlistments in the U.
S. army and had quit with the rank
of sergeant. Flynn and Mitchell were
both ex-navy men. Mitchell was a
noted boxer. Of the five of us, I am
the only one who went in, got
through and came out. Flynn and
Mitchell did not go in; Murray and
Brown never came back.
The five of us shipped on the steam
ship Virginian of the American-Ha-
waiian line,, under American,flag and
registry, but chartered by the French
government. I signed on as water-
tender—an engine room Job—but the
others were on deck—that Is, -yearnen.
We left Boston for *St. Nazaire with
a cargo of ammunition, bully beef,
etc., and made the lirst trip without
anything of interest happening.
As we were tying to the dock at St.
Nazaire, I saw a German prisoner sit
ting on a pile of lumber. I .thought
probably he would be hungry, so I
went down into the oilers’ mess and
got two slices Of bread with a thick
piece of beefsteak between them and
handed it to Fritz. He would not take
it. At first I thought he wus afraid
to, but by using several languages and
signs he managed to make me'under
stand that he was not hungry—had
too much.to eat, in fact.
I used to think of this fellow occa
sionally when I was in a German pris
on camp, and a piece of moldy bread
the size of a safety-match box was
the generous portion of food 1 they
forced on me, with true German hos
pitality, once every forty-eight hour

.There was a large prison camp at
Sf. Nazaire, and at "bne time or an
other I saw all of it. Before the war
it had been used as a barracks'by the
French army and consisted oY^well-
made, comfortable two-story» sta
buildings, floored with concrete, with
auxiliary barracks of logs. The Ger
man prisoners occupied the stone
buildings, while the French guards
were quartered in the log houses. In
side, tlje houses wCire divided Into long
rooms with whitewashed walls. There
was a gymnasium for the prisoners, ft
and some of them picked up more
change there than they ever did in
Germany, they told me. ' The musi
cians formed bands and played almost
every night at restaurants and thea
ters in the town. Those who had no
trade were allowed- to work on' the
road.*, parks, docks and at residences
about the town. —

The call came to them while they
ofietted out of their misery.
< While our cargo was being unloaded
I spent most of my time with my
grandmother. I had heard still more
about tlie cruelty of the Huns, and
made up my mind to get Into the ser
vice. Murray and Brown had already
enlisted in the Foreign Legion, Brown
being assigned to the infantry and
Murray to the French man-of-war Cas-
sard. But when I spoke of my Inten
tion, my grandmother cried so much
that' I promised her I would not enlist
—that time, anyway—and made the

Only Christians can do Christian work.
We should follow Ii4m to be like him,

(2) To win men for him—“Fishers
of men.” Christ calls men into work
of the same character as that in which
they were engaged. They had been
fishing for. fish; now they are to be
fishers of mefi. When Christ calls
men he does not call them to a lower
service. This is a fine case of promo
tion. Men catch fish to kill and feed
upon them, hut Christ’s disciples catch
1 men to ffiake them alive and feed
them.

(2) They not only left their busl-

ther also. Following Jesus sometimes
means turning- one’s back upon busi
ness Interests and dearest friends and
relations. Regardless of what It
costs, the true disciple will ren-
1 d^F" instant obedience to 1 the call
of Christ, because' lie has a right to
rail us, and we cap trust his wisdom
to not call until la- has need.
II. The Motive for Obedience (John
14722-24). „ -- .
The grand motjve -actuating obedi
ence Is love to Christ. The proof that
we- do love hinris That we obey lilm.
Even when we may not be conscious
of unusual outgoings of the affection,
the conclusive evidence that we love
Is that we obey. Keeping Ills com
mandments means such a regard, for
thorn that we.highly treasure them a,
something precious.' The reward for
such obedience Is to have •tpnrist’.s
prayer for us to God to. seruFfiis Holy
Spirit upon us (John 14:1(T,TT). Then,
too, the Father will love us, and he
and the Son will take up their abode
with us. This abode is not temporary
but permanent.
III. The Kind of Obedlonce That
Counts (James 1:22-27).
