our right are other corpo. We are
fighting with the English guards. High
landers and Zouaves. The losses on
both sides have been enormous. For
the most part this IL due to the too
brilliant French artillery.
The English are marvelously
trained in making use of ground. One
never sees them. and one IL constant

form wonderful feats. We cannot get
rid Of them. As soon a. an airman
has flown over Us. ten minutes later
we get their shrapnel IRE in our po-
sition. We have little artillery in
our corps; without It we cannot get
forward.
Three days ago our division took
possession of these heights and dug
itself in. Two days ago, early in the
morning. we were attacked by i'm
mensely superior English forces-one

merous to mention, some of them are
Jake" Daubert of Brooklyn, the rec
ognized star first baseman Of the
country, whom Kelchner found on the
Kane club in 1907; Bert Daniels. for

such sensational record with the
Athletics last season and dozens of
others. There are now numerous good
players in the Tri-State who were rec
commended by Kelchner.
While it is not generally known,
yet it is a fact that Kelchncr was
