FIVE SONS ARE
KILLED IN WAR
Bavaria Is Great Sufferer -
Hardly Family But What
Has Not Lost a Member.

MUNICH, Dec. 22-Bavaria has
suffered frightful war losses. Many
examples of a pitfuI nature indicate
this clearly in the local press.
For instance. Mrs. Graef. a widow
Of Estenfeld. has lost five OF her
nine sons. Two others are crippled
for life and the remaining two are
still fighting in ROumania.
A farmer by the name OF HOel-
dersch, in Rosenhaupten, gave six
sons to the fatherland and all of
them have been killed in battle.
OF the eight brothers Hartmann
o. Leiterberg, who were called 10
the cOlors when the war broke out,
five have met their deaths, one was
badly wounded and only two re-
main unhurt.
A blacksmith by the name of
Stahla, in Traunerhof has lost six
sons. Three of them We're killed
by the same shell on the SOmme.
There is hardly a family in the
whole kingdom which has not sacri-
feed two or more of its members
on the battlefelds.
A remarkable exception is report
ed from Oberkammlach. Wilhelm
Kienle. the schOolmaster OF this
village, has sent eight stalwart sons
to the front, but not one of them
has even been hurt, although all
have distinguished themselves by
bravery and earned the iron cross.
Three OF the lucky eight brothers
have received social decorations
frcm King Ludwig and two have
been promoted TO the rank Of Off
GERS for their daring and skill.

renown. Among the available timber
for the team this year is D. Warner,
+. Johnston, H. Whiticare, W. Cox

tanned in the girls team. Allthe girls
are interested and anxious to make
the team, and we are assured that
Yerington is going to be on thcmaI
