SHERMAN RIGHT
SAYS LAJUSKY

Henry Lajusky, formerly of Bridge
port, but now member Of the En-
gineer Corps Somewhere in France
sends an interesting letter to his
friend, James Donnelly of 107 High
street, in which he tells some of his
experiences and agrees with General
Sherman as to war.
Lajusky is a bridge builder by trade,
worked in Bridgeport during the ereo-
tien of the railroad bridge here, and
has many. friends who will be glad to
hear he is still hale and hearty. Al
the declaration of war he enlisted in
the engineer, corps and is now repair
ing bridges and railroads in France
Extracts from his letter, which was
marked, censored" follow:
ct now agree with what Sherman
said about war. If any one was in
this they all certainly would agree
sto the same thing. After you see
everything there is to see about the
game it sure makes a fellow wish he
was back home. Every one hopes thai
it will end soon. So do I, doubly.
WELL when 1 get back home
hope the old place will be open SO
can drop over when I land in the sta.
ton and have a regular beer"
