Articles on U* Wal"' t*KL \V J. R. Stanley, an attorney from Fort Worth, Texas, was in Keokuk on Wednesday eproute to Fort Madi son t& visit friends there. Mr. Stan ley has been In America just a week, having come from. the trenches in France, tie went there to seek some first hand information for magazine articles, and saw eight months of fighting. The overcrowding of Ger many by her population and her desire to secure an outlet for this population Is one theory of Mr. Stanley for the war, He told this to a. Keokuk man who, happened to speak to him. He believes that the Germans expected to get to Paris in short order last summer, and to strike a blow which would give them a chance to dictate peace terms, and secure certain lands. Mr. Stanley was engaged to pro pare a series of articles on the war for Scrlbner's magazine and he decid ed that the best means of gaining act ual knowledge of the conditions was to enlist, which he did, though prob ably with no thought that he would participate in the forefront of the war theatre operations and stand more chances of sacrificing his life to his^work than of returning home safe ly. His experience In the Texas mili itia and a general understanding of military tactics stood him in good st^ad and there was no difficulty In his securing a position with the Can adian mounted infantry. He was a corporal in the first engagement in which he participated, and from which only ninety-five out of a regi7 ment of 1,250 returned alive. The handful of men left were attache 1 to another division and In a charge few days later this unit was depleted almost as much as in the first in stance. Mr. Stanley was under Hired shrapnel and gas fire and finally wound up in an emergency hospital, from which he was released. At the time of his discharge he was a ser geant. Mr. Stanley relates of an occasion one morning when in the trenches and the .opposing trenches were hut a few feet apart, of conversing with a German soldier who had been em ployed in an 6ffice in the same build ins? in Fort Worth where Mr. Stanley's office was located. The men were passing pleasantries and a German voice hailed across, asking if the Brit ishers had any extra cisarette papers. "Sure, got any tobacco?" responded Stanley, tossing over a wad oi papers. The American inflection of Stanley's voice caught the ear of the German who started a conversation: "Who was that said 'Sure'?" "That's me." "You're from the states,. uWhat part?" "Texa-3, California, in general. Fort .Worth in particular." "So am I." There was a mutual recollection of former acquaintances and at the end of the talk the German jollied: I -"Put up your head and let's have a look." But Stanley felt no inclination so to do, as every time a head appeared :in:a periscope it attracted a storm of bullets. I^ater In the day the British charg ed. took the trench ahead but Stan ley's German acquaintance was not aniong the few prisoners taken or those wounded.
