at the wires, with the hot breath of
the maxims in our faces, were the
worst moments in my life and how I
ever escaped being wounded, is a
puzzle to me.
Wicked, deliberate murder followed
our entry into this second line of
trenches. for most of our officers had
gone down and those that were left
were in no peaceful frame of mind
for after all, shooting US down like
dogs and then holding up their hands
shouting, 'Haf mercy" when we got
to grips, is all tommyrot. Probably
this was also the opinion of the Prus-
sian officer who was lying sorely
wounded, resting on one elbow as he
shot me in the leg while / was spear
ing one of his non-coms. However, he
did not survive his bad aim very long,
as somebody fitted by and smashed
his head in.
Jack johnson Shells.
Now, while I was regretfully trying
to bandage my leg, one of those Jack
johnson shells burst 80 feet to my left
killed nine of our fellows and wound
ed a score more, blew me a couple of
thousand feet (more or 1ess) towards
what 1 hope will be my ultimate per-
manent domicile, and then oblivion for
two hours. 1 came to with an I'M
pleasant and disheartening knowledge
of being blind in one eye, deaf and
paralyzed on the left side, a condition
which obtained for the first ten days.
Thank heaven, 1 have now a fair
chance of once more being able to
shoulder a rifle and continue being a
target for German bullets in month
or so. Well, old chap, such was the
battle of Neuve Chapelle, as far as I
observed it. Forty-eight battalions,
or about fifty thousand men, took part
on our side and we now know that our
sacrifice was 1900 casualties, against
curtailing of the. .enemy's fighting
material of $4,000. But ask myself:
Was the result in actual advantage to
US worth the price?
1 have not been able to write this
letter in one session as 1 am really a
very fair sample of a human wreck
yet, but 1 hope that these lines will
meet with your appreciation as to
whether or not L have tried to do my
duty to the land of my adoption.
With very best wishes and the hope
of soon having the pleasure of getting
few lines from you, 1 am yours sin

KEEPING IT QUIET.
Ladies Planning Banquet for Ro-
tarians Work Mysteriously.

The ladies who are planning the
banquet for the Topeka Rotary club
members for 1880 o'clock, Thursday
evening at the Mills tea room, are said
to be making elaborate preparations
for the entertainment of their hus-
bands and sweethearts, but they abso-
lute1y refuse to divulge the nature of
their plans. Plates will be free at
this banquet for both the members
and their ladies.
The election of officers for the en-
suing year will be held at the next
regular meeting Wednesday noon,
June 8.
Announcement was made today
that plans are being made for a spe-
cial ladies gift night next October
or November. On that occasion the
individual members of the club will
provide souvenirs for the ladies. A
number of souvenirs will be distri-
buted at the banquet Thursday night.
Between twenty-five and thirty Ro-
tarians bedecked in Indian attire will
take part in the big pageant at Wash
burn college, June 9, representing the
early days of Kansas. George Hart
is chairman of the committee which
has charge of this feature.

Fifty "DecOratedo Washburn
Students at Banquet.
Other Features Planned for
intercollegiate Affair.

Fifty students in caps and gowns
will be one of the interesting features
of the intercollegiate banquet at the
Masonic Temple, Tuesday evening,
June 8. The senior class of Washburn
has voted to attend in a body, and a
special section will be reserved for
them. Miss Mildred Gephart was ap-
pointed by President Merrill Ream of
the senior class to have charge of the
sale of tickets to the class.
Arrangements have also been made
by the intercollegiate banquet commit
tee with the Washburn Glee club to

program. The glee club has 25 mem
bers, and is one of the best clubs the
school has ever had. 1t is conducted
by Dean Horace Whitehouse. Not
only will the glee club sing a lot of
songs of it's own selection, but it will
lead the singing by the congregation
of any of the old college songs that
may be called for. Singing college
songs will be one of the main diver
sions of the evening.

about 25 graduates living in Topeka,
has appointed a special committee of
which DR.. Jeffries and Judge Yates
are members, to round up a full at

dents of Northwestern, Michigan, OBJ
