Firemen Plan for Fine Time

The firemen's ball next Thursday
is being planned with the special
aim of pleasing those dancers who
prefer the older dances. There will
be quadrilles and waltzes as often as
the dancers wish, and the newer
steps, while they will be danced will
be crowded to the background. The
walks and trots that have come into
popularity in the past few years
have never appealed to the older
dancers and 1t is with intent to get
them once more interested that the
older dances will be featured next
Thursday evening. In order to call
attention to their annual jollifcation.
the firemen have arranged to blow
the fire whistle at nine o'clock when
the music starts for the dance.

SOLDIER WRITES
OF NEW YORK CITY

The western boys who are now en-

tives of the west
Hampstead, Long Island, Nov. IA.
Dear Friend:
Your interesting letter received

has been quite nice here for the past

the wind is blowing fierce, seems as
though the tent is going over any

They are sure nice people. Before

to the shore, picked up a few clam
shells and listened to the roar of the
ocean, the big waves washing in and
leaping high on the beach made me
think more about crossing than
ever did before. A big storm was
raging and as far as you could see
the mountainous waves were break
ing in the air and looked as white
as snow. The sun was setting, the
sky was red and east a red glow on
the water, it was beautiful. The
big hotel was lit up with hundreds
of lights the people were dancing
and singing. A great place to dis
play the New York fashions. You
can imagine how it felt to be there
We then drove back to Hampstead

we went in the parlor and drew our

GERMAN ARMY
TEEMING WITH
PESSIMISTS

| Evidence that German command
ers are well aware that the German
army is deteriorating and that they
have to try to keep it together by
terrifying their troops is given in
a letter written by an officer of a
Liverpool regiment to one of the local
newspapers. Expressing the opinion
that the collapse of the German will
come soon he added:
The best cure for pessimism
would be a few days in the front
line trenches. There are no pessi-
mists here except among the Ger
man prisoners
The last time our battalion was
in action we took quite a number OF
prisoners, and they were a dismal
lot. One non-commissioned officer
with whom spoke told me that large
numbers of the Germans simply will
not face our fire. but refuse to attack.
His own company had been under fire
for nearly five days, and at last they
had signed a round-robin to the com
pany commander to say that they
could not stay any longer Two of
the ringleaders were arrested with
the idea of making an example of
them, but their comrads demanded
their release with such energy that
the officers had to give way. Later
on the men repeated their demand
to be taken out of the front line
The officers ordered them back to
duty, but the men refused The Of
ficer threatened the soldiers. who
replied by killing all but four of the
officers and marching over to the
British lines to surrender.
When this particular battalion
was moved up against the British,
the men had to be bullied into fight
ing by being sent into action in
front of moving barrage, which
meant certain death to all who
Jagged behind.
"On another occasion recently,
our Liverpool regiment had fierce
fight which ended up with a strange
experience. We had heavily en-
gagged and driven off in panic some
Germans who had been holding
strong position. Moving on to the
next objective. another party of the
enemy appeared We felt certain
that we were in for a rough expert
ence, but the truth was that this
bunch wanted to surrender badly,
and they had made pretense of
to a counter-attack with
the object of getting near enough to
us to be sure of protection from their
own officers.
when the German command
found out what had happened, they
OSiil lOl W al u q bpuN vi ltOCI fIp
with order to recapture our prisoners,
of which the prisoners got good
share They begged us hard to save
them, and we did all we could But
at one stage we were nearly caught,
when the enemy suddenly turned on
a party OF liquid fire experts. For
we were alert and charged
at once, capturing the whole liquid
fire outfit. There ensued a terrible
row between the earlier prisoners and
the men we had taken with the
liquid fire outfit. The first prisoners
wanted to kill the liquid fire men
We had our hands full getting them
all back"
