How an American soldier dell'ber- ately killed himself lhat his four pals might live, is the startling story told by an American ordnance officer late ly returned from the front. His story is corroborated by an artillery officer, who recently arrived here from Prance. The hero. wb,ose-ame may never be known, is now buried in a small cemetery in France. Jfo towering monument tells of his Spartan like sacrifice, but his story is known to every grenadier of the American forces and will live always-in Ameri can history as one of the bravest acts of the war Here is the story as told by the American officer. -Daagerana Practice. "It has been found that the most effective hand grenade is that with the bent safety pin. But tl.e Ameri can soldiers, anxious alnays to speed up, have a habit of straightening the pins. We have done our utmost to halt the practice, and have tcld the men time without number that they must stand responsible if they straighten the pins before going Into action For a straight pin will easily fall from the grenade, and that mins that within five seconds the deadly engine will explode. An American grenader. had been on duty at an outpost It appears that he bad straightened the pins in his grenades. When relieved from duty he returned to his dugout, where three of his pals were sleeping and one lay awake in a bunk. The dugout was twenty feet underground Boab Fall t FlMr. "As he entered the uugout and closed the heavy door, he took off hi" coat and threw It up on his bunk which as the third or top one from the floor. One of his coat pockets sagged open and a bomb fell to th foor. As it fell, the (Straightened safety pin slipped out "As he saw the pin go spinning across the room, he realized that with in five seconds an eploxlon would probably kill every man in th- dug out. It must have flashed across his mind that bis pals sleeping in the bunks were not to blame for the acci dent. He had been warned against straightening grenade pins. The fault was hL, and his alone. "In five seconds the grenade would burst. He had time to get through the door and leave his companions to their death, but there was not time In which to attempt to tear down bunks and build a barricade about the bomb. The man who was awake yelled to him to run, but he stood fast in his tracks Hags Bobib to Body. "No man can ever tell what must have paied in the soldier's mind in the next two or three seconds. But this we do know. The soldier picked up .the bomb, crept Into a corner and hugging the bomb close to his tom aih created of his bod a barrier be tween the bursting engine and his pal The blast killed him Instantly, but his pals escaped without a scratch.
