BAG AND MONEY
IS RETURNED
Trotter's Old Brown Grip and
Seventy-three Silver Bones
Recovered by News
Budget
Well what do Won know about that2

Well what do you know about that?
That brown, worn, bag containing
the S73 and child's clothes, which you
read about in the News Budget last
week has been found and returned
to it's owner, s. b. TrOtter, at Mime
apolis, and all on account Of the little
want al and the story of it's loss in
this paper.
How Trotter, his wife and three
children, came to Ladysmith from the
Twin Cities and left the bag in the
street near the Bon Ton gorcery, when
he and his family got into an auto to
go to Conrath to visit at the home Of
his brother-in-law, l.. Nj. Cobourn,

company with a fine bunch of brave
boys-a happy go-lucky bunch. :
There are professionals of all kinds
here. They call me the mechanic.
Among the People
sThey have funny looking houses
here They look as though they were
all crowded into one. like one of Jim
Mitchells camps on the Flambeau.
Every day some old war veteran will
come from one of these houses and
shake hands in real American style.
At first they wanted to kiss us. But
they quit that as most OF the boys
wanted to start the fad and kiss all the
girls. But there were too few girls to
go around with this crowd and the
game had to quit Gee! it's tough.
But after pay day is when things
get lively. We get too much money
as there is nothing to do with it but to
spend it. When we get it changed in
to French money months pay looks
like bale of hay. None of us gets
less than $50 francs and that makes a
pile that it would take wheelbarrOw
to haul around. Just think of getting
into a cafe and ordering, not beer but
real champagne, and only six francs
A private draws as much as a Second
lieutenant in the French army. No
wonder the peasants say @ America !.
Lots of Money"
When an innkeeper sees a bunch of
us boys coming he rubs his hands with
joy, and sometimes we just about buy
him out.
I'VE have good chow, the name given
to food. We take our plates to the
cook and get them filled up. They
have a dark bread which as War
Bread is all we can get now. We
miss the white, sweet bread of home
We have keen appetites and can eat
from turnip soup to a
Thanksgiving dinner

WITH MARINES
NOW IN FRANCE
Bert Garrett Tells of Life in the
French Village Where he
is Stationed

Bert Garrett is having the time of
his life over Somewhere in France
Bert is keeping the little French town
where he is stationed with the Ma
rines, full of life and pep and losing
no time with the population especially
that portion of it which is young and
pretty.
Bert writes 13 pages to the News
Budget and it passed through the
hands Of the censor without scratch.
Shorn OF some of the inconsequential
hut happy details here it is:
He wants to let the bunch in the
old burg know he is the same "old

Il had some trip across the pond
and would like to write you all the de-
tails but | am afraid Uncle Sam would
jump my neck Since l left Lady
smith ] have travelled about $500
miles. | went down to the station
when the boys went to Camp Douglas
and expected to go along. but changed
my mind at the last moment and en-
listed in the Marines and here / am
in France.
What we have seen of France is
all right but we do not have much time
TO see things as we are kept busy at
drills and other hard work. We do
not mind that a bit as we have only
one motto and that is Get the Kaiser"
We are learning lots of songs here but
we make them into English as they do
not sound quite right in French yet
We are still pretty green about the
language. Here's part of one:
America you know | love you
And I'll fight for you each day.
America, I'm fighting for you
Though we're many miles away.
Wen knock the block right off the
Kaiser
And drive him across the Rhine
Then I'll go back to Ladysmith
In some '0ld summer time"
Il tell you it gets little lonesome
over here for the boy and if any girl
has friend in the service tell them
to write a line And if they do not
know them they can write too for of
all the things one gets here the most
welcome is letter from the back
home place. A letter nowadays is like
a big dish in a swell cabaret.
Rains of France
Nearly fifteen days on the water,
was the experience in crossing to this
place. France is pretty country
and | am not wondering that those
other people want to get their hands
on it. But they will have some scrap
to do it with us boys here. 1t. is the
rainiest country in the world 1t al
ways rains here and if it don't stop
pretty soon they will have to issue us
diving suits. But we are all living in
good quarters and therefore do not
mind the rain SO much as we might
otherwise.
no one stays out at night. We have
to be in quarters at 10 p. M We have
swell officers, | think the best that
could be had, especially in our COM
pany. They all treat us like gentle
men. Then we have some old timers
who hold billets as sergeants or as

THE EVENING WORLD
AGAIN SCORES WITH
ITS CAB ORDINANCE
Corporation Counsel Says
Aldermen Have Full Con-
troll of Hacks.

Tho Law Department OF the city
OF New York to-day backs up the
contention OF The Evening World that
any vehicle carrying passengers for
hire, whether operating from the
inside of n railroad station or n
As such II is subject to all the rules
and regulations that are applied TO
other public hacks now under the
supervision Of tho city. The private
hacking companies claimed that they
were free from city regulation as TO
rates and condition of their cabs be-
cause they operated from private
property.
Acting Corporation Counsel Louis
II. Hahlo shows very corcluslvely
that the Public Service Commission
has absolutely no jurisdiction over
the hacking privileges OF express
companies that enjoy exclusive priv
ileges from railroads. This despite
the fact that ono express company
with a cab privilege was attempting
to avoid regulation by the Board Of
Aldermen for reasons bost known Ia
itself
In his opinion submitted 10 Alder
man Harry Robitzek. Chairman OF
the Welfare Committee of the Alder
men, the Assistant Corporation Coun-
sci says: The provisions OF the
Greater New York Charter, chapter
81, vest the Board OF Aldermen with
power TO provide for the regulation
and licensing OF public hacks and
hackmen. therefore advise you that
IL is within the power OF the Board
OF Aldermen TO adopt the ordinance
referred to-"
The amendment TO tNe ordinance
will be voted on at - 1 Tuesdays
meeting of the Aldermen. II is pre-.
| dlcted that II will be unanimously
adopted and become effective immo-
| diatcly.
The new ordinance will mean that
all cabs for public hire, no matter
where operated from. will be subject
10 city regulation, including the In
stallation OF taximeters.
