A later letter says
This is my birthday. Heavy snow

day as we were on our way to the
shooting trenches from the sugar re-
finery on the canal, where we had all
taken hot shower baths, l was think
ing of writing to ask you to SEND us

You may think the idea OF baseball

the most remarkable war in many 9TH
er ways than its size. 1t has been
pointed out often enough that the
firing line is 200 miles in length, but
not much attention has been paid to its
width. It's depth is so comparatively
insignificant that we can play ball II

we can go another half mile or so to

again as before the war. They heal
the distant roar of cannon, but the
noise becomes habit. Anyone who
wants fine reproduction of the front
when firing is going on-not a battle
but the ordinary firing-has only to &c
to some big construction work in New
York, where he will hear exactly what
we hear every day.
The blasting initiates the cannon

when dropped reproduces cannon
fire effect, especially through the vi

Seven years ago Mr.. Wallace was
requested by the secretary of the in
terror to enter the u S. reclamation
service and go to Williston, NJ D., and
take charge of the opening of a coal
mine for an irrigation project. He
put in the equipment and opened same,

has been rather a strenuous one, he
finds this old world pretty good
place after all and especially for those
living in Burlington.
In spite of his GA wears the Judge
personally conducts his many business

good pat Scotch story to regale his

were very interesting. The address
by Rev. C. K. Proctor, of the NJ e

along the lines of Higher Patrio-

by the Grand Army Veterans. The
Appomattox Peace Tree was planted
at the lawn of the Carnegie library
with appropriate ceremonies. The
address was made by Judge T. H.

The rains caused the evening meet

filled and the musical numbers were
very interesting. The addresses
we're made by Judge Advocate A A..
