coming and we all wondered who would the man to fire the first shot That night my companion on outpost was Orville Miller During the day I had a talk with a Filipino Lieutenant Ho told me that I would have to keep back farther You rce Ehey wero encroaching on our territory every day and bees use we seemed lo stand for it they got brave and trnpuv dent told tho Lieutenant did not Miller ard I walked down to the end of the lane eo that our retreat would be covered in case we hed to fall back We were halfsitting half-kneeling at the end of the lane when we beard the soft whistle of tbe Filipino It waa answered by aeveral other whlrtke and we knew mischief was brewing from the block-house No 7 we eaw a red light waving In some kind of signal We turned our gaze back to where the whistle came from when up rose a Filipino as If ho had come out of the giound I challenged him and he challenged my challenge That meant fight I heard the click click of rifles and without a hesitation I let fly and my Impertinent Filipino tumbled over and I took to our heel up the lone Two shots rang out as we ran and when we had gut back about twenty-five yard two Flllplro blockrd our path were Inalde of our line but they challenged tie I cried to Miller and a second later there was a dead Filipino In another Second I had brought down my second Filipino My first I think was the Lieutenant who had given me In daytime I think I killed bfm I do not know but I think be got It right "We retreated until we reached tho pip line Thct was the mater main and It made a fine breastwork and we needed it The Flllptnos kept firing at us all the time The entire outpost there were thirty of us rauio in to the pipe line sod we all peppered away at the enemy "Then tbe action spread from right to left and In fifteen minutes the engagement was general from Calooean to the bay The boys on the outpost had It In for those fellows They had shot Cot Stosonburg two woeks before and we were laying for them We did pot have a high opinion of Cot Btotsenburg when we started out We thought that he was needlessly strict but there wa mighty gloom over the regiment when be was shot "The whole army was waiting for that hot that I fired and whrn It came they were ready for it The Filipinos wero lust a little rbort of being prepared Another ulght and they would have been nicely fixed for Everybody teemed to be satisfied with the shot" St Louis Globe-Democrat JOINS THE SALVATION ARMY Another Daughter of Hanker Nan Yorden to (tear fiolllrr Clothra NEW YORK July Into the Salvation Army there be gone another
