HOWARD MANION
ILL in HOSPITAL
OF The FRENCH
Bridgeport Young Man,
Near Front Writes to His
Friends in Bridgeport.

Howard c. Manion Of Bridgeport
serving as an ambulance driver IN
France but writing from "Out Here,
according to French military rule is
i'll in base hospital. He is now re-
Receiving from q light attack OF scar
latena and expected to be again in
service before the letter sent to Will
liam Parker of tie Stratfield reached
Bridgeport
Manion, in a very humorous letter
mentions that Ernest Sxlader also from
bridgeport had a narrow escape from
death as a bursting shell exploded
nearby and upset speeding amou-
lance. Four were sent to the nos
pital but Snader was not severely IN
jured.
Manion's difficulties with the
French language are expressed in MS
six weeks confinement in the hosp1-
tai where 400 others are, but one OF
whom speaks English. He is abe
to see the English speaking man man
twice a week.
He thinks longingly Of steaks In
local restaurants stating that his only
diet has been two quarts of weak con-
densed milk a day.
Snader's occupation daily in the
hospital town is laying out imaginary
golf courses in a. country which Is
said to be ideal for the sport and well
fitted with links.
Both men crave news from Bridge
port not having seen any OF the pa
pers sent from here and reading one
paper from Connecticut during the
entire period abroad.
Both are longing to return TO
Bridgeport because Of the belief that
their companions here are now en-
joying the bathing at Fairfield wnere
they were well known last summer
among the bathing crowds.
Manion is not decided whether he
will take another hitch" for three
months in the ambulance service or
5ofn the American fighting legion in
France. Good pictures Of both men
in the trenches have been sent back
home.

rectors had virtually decided upon this
action.

ers who. it is understood, will not ap-
pear this season are Nine. Ober, Nine
Selma Kurt. Johannes Sembach and
Carl Braun! Mesdames Hempel and
Matzenaner. who, although their names
are German. are said to be thoroughly

announced as responsive to a growing
sentiment against the use Of the Ger
man language. 1t means that Wagner
and Beethoven will be eliminated from
the repertoire. There was no intention
at any time, it was said. to put on
operas this year by Richard Strauss,

people should guard carefully against rats
which in night may destroy 4 whole

to prevent this is by exterminatinz the rats
