Tcl the Folks Back Home Went Out Gamely, Pal," Writes Brave Billy PNrringfleld of San Francisco.  Killed in Action-Other Casualties, and Decorations Reported From France.

With the American Army in France, Nov. 15.-A number of American SOL d1ers have been killed or wounded in the recent smelling of the American trenches by the Germans. One shell which dropped into trench caused several casualties.
 The American artillery fire has been heavy recently and there is good rea- son to believe that it has accounted for a considerable number of the enemy. The accuracy of the American artil- lerymen's fire has evoked enthusia stio comments from the French superior officers of the command in which are trenches occupied by the American troops. The general in command told an American officer today that their craftsmanship was excellent compar- ing most favorably with that of troops which had been at war for years
 The American officers were highly elated by the compliment. The only complaint heard is that few of tho American batteries are not as rapid as they might be, but they are im- proving daily.

Dream of Home and Sprinatine.''
On Friday May 4th, the Redpath
Homer Chautauqua opened In San
ia Cruz, California, and 1.-The Senti-
mel" has the following 10 say of the
first days program.
$50 many entertainments had been
offered of late IN Santa Cruz, that on
have attracted the enormous crowd
collected in the tent on Front St,
tent that seemed built to shelter ten
thousand, and came very near doing
it.
'.An these Althea Players are
s'home girls" Each told where she
had her home, when she first came
on the stage, and we call them "home
girls" because they still have the air
of their mothers quiet retired home
about them.
'And they are artists; not because
one plays the piano and the others
play the violin or some other instru-
ment, and they all sing, but because
they are artists with heart and soul,
and heart and soul are stepped in
music, and they live m an atmosphere
of melody, and you dream of home
and springtime, of flowers and sum-
mer breeZes, while you listen to their
song. Then all at once a thrill of the
great tent, and you stand with your
chest thrown out and head proudly
erect, while the song-waveS rush
through space, and hundreds of hands

''The Misses Ruth Freeman, Grace

and Beasey Sisters were sometimes
! on the stage as one fair summer
cloud, gowns in light, appealing col

ways either harmony or laughter; and
when they sang the Yodell lullaby,

MIR. Ellis Relative of Hawaiian Queen

rector of the Hawaiian Singers and
Players, who come to Chautauuua.
has signature that is valuable. At
least the Railroad Company found
that 1t was when it began surveying
for the road.
Mr.. Ellis family owned the Sum-
ner Island,-it lies just outside of
Honolulu. This was inherited through
the Queen, Tahaitia. But the company
needed the island and so paid Mr..
Ellis $25, 700 to sign his name, Civ
ing them the right-of-way.
Before the monarchy was over
thrown, and while King Kalaukau was
still reigning, Mr.. Ellis was a mem
Der of the Kings great band. 1t was
called the Royal Hawaiian Band, and
famous wherever bands were known.
But since the severthrow of the
monarchy, Mr.. Ellis has been organ
izing and directing companies of Ha-
waiians, and giving the American
people taste of what real Hawaiian
music IS Their weird melodies and
enchanting cadences have delighted
thousands and thousands of people in
America.
Concerning W. E. Ellis and the Ha-
Wanan Singers, The Detroit Free

If the atmosphere of Hawaii con
tInually rings with such music as the
