_Told by Donald R. Thane, of the Foreign Legion of France_
Back from the trenches, where he fought in the Foreign Legion of
France, Donald R. Thane, an American boy, was wounded and "gassed"
all in the same day. Mr. Thane has seen Mars in his blackest moods;
he has seen him at play and laughs at some of the grim jests of the
war god. His gossip of the trenches--or rather some of it--just as
he told it, nervously, and coughing now and then, for his lungs are
still raw from the gas, gives an American boy's view of the war and
what is going on "out there."--Courtesy of the _New York Herald_.
