TRENCH AND CAMP
American Corporal, Born In Germany, - .'
Bags Huns By Giving Orders In German
This story, printed fn *“Stars
and Stripes,” official newspaper of
the American Expeditionary Forces,
shows how one real American of Ger
man birth was alive to the true sit
uation when Germany started the
war, It shows how he is turning his
knowledge of German to a good use.
—Editor.
This is the story of Corporal Kaler,
of Company M. oo :
There may have been some suspi
cion of him at first because he was
born and raised in Germany. Some
doubts may have lurked in certain
minds in the company even after he
was made a corporal for his excellent
work under actual battle conditions.
But all doubts were dispelled forever
when he jumped into the fight south
of Vesle and came out of it accredited
with six Germans—two killed and
four taken prisoner. And his folks
had named him after the Kaiser.
He was named Wilhelm when he
first saw the light of day in Manich
28 years ago. Biut he grew up a So
clalist, distrusting the German gov
ernment in general and the Crown
Prince in particular.
That is why, smelling the battle
from afar, he cried “Ha' Ha!” and
deserted from the German army
shortly before the war broke out, at a
time when his ship happened to be in
Hoboken. Therefore, while his three
brothers were serving in the German
army, he was out of reach im Grand
Rapids, Mich.
Then came a time when America
decided to enter the war. 8o did
Wilhelm-—the very next day.
His knowledge of German made
him a very handy man about the reg

Once, when Kaler and part of 8§
platoon were almost marooned as an
outpost that had overreached lt!:a -
he could hear a column of Germ:
fillng along the edge of their woods
with evident intent to surround tba
The German order was stral
ahead, and from where Kaler and his
pals lay quaking in the underbrush,
they could see an endless succession
of gray legs trotting by. Then,
sharp and authoritatively, a volce
from the bushes ordered, ‘“Gehem
sie sur rechter Seite.” The colums
veered off obediently to_the right, and
before it could be steered back again
Kaler and his bunch had made good
their escape.
Again, when, from his untz
point on the edge of the woods,
corporal saw four German prisoners
break away from an American wheo
was trying to bring them in, he called
out across the field:
' “Kommen sie voruber.”
_ The escaping four stopped dead imn
their tracks, wheeled and hustled
docilely over to the spot whence the
voice had issued, and a moment lates
'Kaler had them covered and started
for the rear. Those were his fou?
prisoners. :
Another boche he killed with his
rifie and another died at the end of
Kaler’s bayonet. In spare moments,
betwéen such tasks, he harangued the
prisoners on their sin of working foe
the Kaiser. But how could they help
themselves, they asked plaintively.
“Why, that’s easy; come and fighs
with us,” said Wilhelm IL.
