' CANADIAN INDIAN WINS
WAR MEDAL FOR BRAVERY,
Doesn't Know Why He Fights, but He
Did Kill C ne of the Enemy.
F. Pegahingahow Is a Canadian In
dian, son of a chief whose trjhe lives
not far from Toronto. "Peg" Is the
name by which he Is known among the
Canadian soldi, :s fluhting in the Ypres
salient. Recently !:e won the D. C. M.
(distinguished c nduct meJal), and aft
er he had recc:.-.-,! the honor he was
forced to tell his tvenchmates the story.
“I don’t know much." “Peg" began.
“I Indian. Live little place in Canada.
One day man come. say. ‘You ought
light.’ I say, ‘I tight. Where I go?' He
tell me. By and by 1 get out here.
Don't know why 1 fight I messenger
for officer. He tell me take message,
and I take it One day we have real
fight Captain tell me take message.
I take it and come back. Take another
message, come back. Find my captain
dead. Men they get. out trench, go after
Germans. Kill my .-aptaln. I got some
thing fighting for. Take captain's re
volver and go with men. No use stay
ing in trench. We Hin fast. Somebody
say hundred yard* but I think mile.
So many bullets flying all around us.
"By and by we come German dugout
We got no bombs left to throw Ger
man officer In dugout I lose my cap
tain's revolver, so use my bayonet
Men say. 'Walt Peg, we get bombs.' I
say, ‘I go after him.’ Then I go in dug
out German ne shoot at me two
times."
“Peg’" paused. “What’d you do?” cho
rused half a dozen listeners.
“Hell.” “Peg” said in the same placM
way. “I get him with my bayonet He
can't shoot again. Killed my captain.
I get him. I don’t know much. X In
dian.”
WARSHIP RAMMED MULE.
British Vessel Thought Carcass Was a
German Submarine.
British naval circles in London and
elsewhere are laughing at the experi
ences of a certain British war vessel in
the Mediterranean recently.
Steaming about on patrol duty and In
search of a troublesome enemy subma
rine. the warship's lookout observed a
suspicious appeuring object several
thousand yards away.
It looked remarkably like- one of
those new German submarines with
four businesslike periscopes Just clear
ing the surface of the water. The look
out gave the alarm, and instantly guns
were throwing shells and shrapnel In
the direction of the enemy.
As all good war vessels do tn the face
of danger, this warship forged ahead
at full speed, though zigzagging a bit
to minimize the danger of a possible
torpedo. Drawing nearer, the enemy
pungent gases were found to be per
» U3
of respirators, which were brought
with ail speed from below.
Then the vessel nishei pell mell at
the four periscopes in an effort to ram
the fearless “tmterseeboot"
The enemy was rammed accordingly.
More gases contaminated the air, but
there was a suspicious lack of chlorine,
which is usually employed by the Ger
mans.
It was not for some time, the reports
in naval circles say, before all on board
were aware that the enemy was. in
fact a deceased mule, evidently thrown
overboard from some transport carry
ing artillery units.
