Emf! Johnson of Conoyer, one of
the nine Villas county lads who re-
Gently enlisted in the navy, writes an
interesting letter from Great Lakes.
Camp Ross,
Sept End.
Dear Walter-I promised / would
write and I'll do it today.
Being labor day we don't have to
drill or do any unnecessary detail work.
We haven't done much of anything
the last three days. Saturday is in
spaction day and we all must be
dressed up with clean whites, hat,
leggings and polished shoes. If you
happen to have a dirty uniform and
you have no reason for it being in
that condition, you are subject to the
coal pile for four hours or extra
guard duty. Sunday we must all go to
church. They make it compulsory for
every Jackie to attend services every
Sunday.
Say, Walt we sure get the feed
down here. We had beefsteak, fried
onions, potatoes and gravy, bread and
butter, tomatoes and coffee with
sugar and milk too. Musk melon for
dessert. Today we have a chicken din
ner, / can hardly wait till chow time.
We Jackies sure, are getting some
appetites. Most of us didn't eat much
while we were getting our shots, but
we are all over that. | got three
shots in my right arm and yaccinated
on my left arm.
Those shots put the pep into you. /
surely have got the pep in me, feeling
the best, couldn't feel any better.
I certainly enjoy this life, didn't
think much of it at first but
now sing different song. We won't
be in this Camp very long. Our de-
.tention period ends Wednesday even
ing. I expect we will move Thurs
day to some other Camp. | have a
bunch it will be Perry or Dewey.
All of us boys who left Eagle River
are not in the same camp. There are
six of us here in Camp Ross Francis,
Werner, Rex, Bill, Arthur and N.Y.
self. Walter Dickman, Guy d. and
James Hayden are in Camp Farragut.
We have not seen them since we
arrived. The six in Camp Ross stuck
together and we sure have a good
time. Whenever we get eats from
home or friends we always share up
and make feast of it. There's one
thing we miss down here and that is
ice cream, [ expect we will go the
limit when we get our shore liberty.
We get our first. shore liberty
Saturday. | guess we get "a hours.
I can't get home on that, but possibly
three or four months from the time
we entered service we will get five
day furlough.
It's almost time for chow, I don't
want to miss that chicken.
Will close. best regards to all. Let
me hear from you soon and tell me
about the news and happenings in
good old Eagle River.
AS ever your friend Jackie

Soldier Speaks In Benton.

The residents Of Benton may have
ofttimeS read in the papers of the state
of affairs on the battle front. but it has
been seldom. if ever. they heard from
the lips of one who has been there the
hardShips and Sutferings of the sol
dierS fighting for the freedom of the
world. Monday afternoon The oppor-
tunity was offered them. and a large
audience gathered at the Court House
to listen to an American hoy. who for
three years. fought in the British
Army.
DR.. {. H. IriOn opened the meeting,
and. in Il few well chosen and forceful
remarks, explained the purpose Of the
gathering. The Doctor did not fail to
ness of the situation and the necessity
Of every true American to do his share,
if not on the firing line, ut least in
helping those who are at the front by
subscribing according to their means,
to sustain these brave men. DIR. Irion
was interrupted by applause when he
made mention of President Wilson as
the man of the hour.
He was followed by Mr.. w. H.
Hodges. jr.. who. although claiming not
to be an orator. showed his ability to
convince the audience that lie was a
hard worker for Il good cause. Mr..
Hodges took occasion to thank Mr..
w. l. Gayle. who. with very short no
tice. caused the meeting to he Il sue
cess Ivy announcing far and wide the
occasion.
Mr.. Hodges then introduced Sergt.
Thomas ODay. who was greeted with
warm applause.
Sergt O'Day also claimed not to he
an orator. but he is certainly Il fine
narrator. The Sergeant explained how
ne left for England by embarking Oh a
tramp steamer at New Orleans. The
vessel upon which he sailed was tOrpe-
decd by /, German submarine. but, as
lie said the Germans aboard that sub
never torpedoed any more ships.
He described the atrocities of the
barbarous Germans. how they knew no
pity for old men. women or children.
How they conducted warfare against
all rules of civilization. and destroyed
everything and all within their reach.
The Sergeant was in a battle where
many of the Englishmen We're taken
prisoners. and told how they We're sent
back to their lines crippled. mutilated
and MANNED, because the Germans
could not feed them. He also demon
strated how his regiment of 400 men
We're trapped by the enemy. and only
sixty three survived.
Sergt. ODay was twice wounded i'll
battle and has returned to this cOun-
try to enlist under the Stars and
Stripes. He viii again leave for the
front in about four weeks. and all who
had the pleasure of meeting him wish
him Godspeed and success
