STORY OF SKRGT. YORK
Took 132 Germans Single-Handed
in World War
,. - . ^ *
Willard. Neal in Atlanta Journal.
How Sergeant Alvin C. York, of
the' 328th infantry, captured 132 Germans
single-handed ioUi to i?- ,
serve officers of the training camp
at Fort Screven, Ga.
The account was given on July 2'J'
by'Major Robert U. Milam of Jacksonville,
Fla., who was captain of
York's company during the war, and
who was leading the charge yfiwn the
Tennesseean made quick tVork of the
German machine gunners.
"York was a corporal when ym
were ordered to go over the top in
the Meuse-Argonne drive," said
Major Milam. "He had objected to
entering the war because of his religious
belief, when he was drafted
from his home at Fall Mall, Tenn.,
but once in the service he made one
of tiie finest soldiers who ever wore
a uniform.
"We moved off at dawn on the
morning of October 8 and at sun up
found ourselves moving up u little
dale. On our right was an unscalable
bluff and to the left was a lovy
wooded hill. To the front was ano*
ther hill covered with woods and under
growth from which we were
getting heavy rifle fire, while a
machine gun nest in the draw at the
junction of the two hills caught us
withering fire that played havoc with
our advance. Men were being mowed
down as fast as they reached the
firing line.
"Two squads in change of a sergeant
were sent through the woods
at the left to flank the machine gunners.
Corporal York commanded
one of the squads.
The detail moved through, the
forest without drawing fire, and
came upon the machine gunners from
the flank. The Germans had seen
Americans advancing on the other
side, and they thought they had been
surrounded. The jaajpr who was in
command" Rtfi r'endered himself and
47 men without exchanging a single
shot. The machine gunners came
out of their concealment holding
their pistol belts over their heads.
"Several men from the little detachment
of 16 were put in charge
of the prisoners and ordered to hold
I them there', while the remainder of
the handful of attackers moved forward.
"As the Americans moved away
from the group of prisoners, the rest
of the machine gunners In the draw
opened fire upon them with every
gun they had, mowing down all but
seven of the attackers. The sergeant
in command and the other corporal
went down with the first burst of
fi re.
"Corporal York dropped to the
ground at the first shot and crawled
over near the prisoners who had also
hit the dirt. Then he got his- rifle
into play for some of the most effective
shooting ever known in the history
of the United State army.
"He was so near the prisoners that
the Germans had to shoot high to
keep from hitting their own men.
York, however, fired directly over
the prisoners' backs, and they did
not dare try to move out of the way...
"York lay fthere on his stomach,
picking off Germans as fast as they
raised their eyes above the ground.
The other six Americans lay in the
brush, keeping the prisoners covered
with their rifles. Only one of these
fired his rifle, and he shot at a prisoner
who tried to crawl away.
"York fired his rifle part of
the time and used his pistol some.
The dead Germans were never counted,
but ?York thought there were between
twenty apd thirty, and nearly
all were shot in the head as they
raised up to fire at the lone corporal.
I asked him later if he had missed
any, and he said, "Cap'n,. I don't
think I missed a single shot.'
"The German major, seeing his
jpren falling everywhere and potting
that Yolk still had ^ good supply of
ammunition, ordered- tjmm-kr -sur?
. J5|ndetr The maetalnegunners came
out of their pits, holding their pis
tol belts over their Ju^ds, and fell
in line with the original forty-eight
prisoners. There were 132 men ir
the ..group Corporal York -captured
and with the other fod|y-eight and
those York shot, they made up a
.whole battalion of machine gunners
AniQng them were a major apd three
lieutenants. . <&
"I knew that the machine gun fir<
in the draw had been stopped and
company moved easily after', ii
ceased but I nefer heard a word ol
the drama that had been enacted un
til the following morning, whet
Corporal .York came to' the commaix
post to report. '
"Where have-you been?" I de
manded.
"Well cap'n, 1 jost ketchcd ,sonn
prisoners, and had to carry 'em bad
to the rear," be aacwered,
"Why didn't yoa bring them to me
like you wfct* supposed to dot"

WOMAN SHOOTS AGED JURIST
Screaming, "I'll Show Vou How to
Get JuatJce," She Fired
Salt Lake City, Utah., Sept. 30.?
Screaming "I'll show yt?u how to gel
justiee," Mrs. Eliza Simmons, 40, a
willow, fii'eii four t>hol? into the body
of Judge Tillman I). Johnson of the
United States district court here
today. ^
The woman opened fire a? the 70
year old jurist was mounting the
bench. Her first shot, aimed as
she arose from a seat in the front
part of the ooui-troom, missed its
mark. When the Judge turned he
fell down the steps of the rostrum
and rushing to the side of the bench
the woman stood over him and fired
four shots ull of which took effect.
At the hospital it was said that
while the wounds were serious,
Judge Johnson's condition was not
considered dangerous unless compilations
and shock, due to his uge,
develop.
Mrs. Simsons wus overpowered
apd taken to the county jail, where
she is being held without charge
pending the outcome of Judge Johnson's
injuries. She refused to talk,
but a statement found at her home
by department of justice agents disclosed
that she believed, she had
been gravely wronged in 1U24 when
Judge Johnson dismissed her suit for
$25,000 damages as the result of the
death of her husband in a minirtg incident
at Bingham, Utah., in 1910.
1 he suit was brought in the state
courts and then transfered to the
Federal court. Following its dismissal
by Judge Johnson, the case
was appealed to the United Spates
court of appeals, which upheld the
decision of the lower court.
Development of 'the most courteous
police corps in existence' is the
aim of Colonel H. N. Schwarzkopf,
head of the New Jersey state police.
I On a tableland six miles wide,
located near the west coast of Africa,
! stands a forest of trees only twelve
inches in height, bearing leaves
(never more than two to a tree)
often six feet long. The trunks of
the trees measure about four feet
in diameter.
Singing teakettles have been manufacture^
and used by the Japanese
for many centuries.' Musical sounds
come fortty only when the water
boils, for they are produced by steam
bubbles escaping from beneath thin
sheets of iroh fastened closely to'gvther
near the bottom of the kettle.
and I knowed you'd be hard to find,
so I tuk 'em back to battalion PC,
and they sent me back to the regiment
and they sent me to brigade
headquarters and they sent me to
divisions?"
"The various unit commanders had
been, so proud of his feat that they
sent him alone, with 180 prisoners,
all the way back to corps headquarters,
fifteen or twenty miles to
the rear, and it took him all night
to get back.
"That was a damned good job,
York, I said. "Now come up on the
railroad here and fight some more."
.? "Was Sergeant York really such
a hero or was he handed the laurels
by circumstances?" some one asked.
I would say he was the hero every
time, Major Milam answered. "I
doubt if there are a half dozen men
in the world who could have turned
the trick. York did if placed in the
same position.
"In the first place, not one out of
10,000 would have known what to do
and few, if any, of those could have
shot straight and fast enough to have
kept the heads of the 150 fighting
men buried in the dirt. He sure pui
the fear* of God into those Heinies.
, "After the armistic York was kissed
and decorated by every Frenchman
that had enough authority and
he met the king of England. Wher
