The new Hun helmet is specially

wise! That is just where Germany is
going to get it.-London Opinion.
Denver labor bulletin., 1918-10-05

No. 40 now has fifty-five members
taking part in the great crusade. Over
here they are scattered up and down
the land in the various training
camps. Their days are hard and long
and the nights are cold and damp. If
you could read some of the many let
tiers receive you would quickly real
ize that the life they are now leading
is not a picnic, and yet from not one
of them has there been uttered a
complaint. All they are thinking
about is to do their utmost for the
cause in which they are enlisted.
About thirty-five are over there"
Many have been in the trenches and
some "over the top" What they have
suffered uncomplainingly is told in the
following letters. Days and nights
without food or water. Weeks without
having their clothes off. Sleep and
rest almost forgotten. And with i
Spirit which has characterized them in
the many battles they have fought in
our ranks in civil life. What remains
for us at home to do to show them
how much we appreciate their sacri-
fees? just now only one thing-buy
Liberty bonds.
The following was lost on the battle
fields of France and when received
contained the following note: The
enclosed was picked up in a field and
readdressed." The letter is from Leo
Cuthbertson:
July 25. 1918.
Your most welcome letter was re-
ceived about an hour ago. | doubt if
you realize how much pleasure your
letters afford me AS we are having
day of rest today. il gives me an
opportunity to answer a few Of the
many letters / owe
There are so many things Of interest
to relate that it would require more
time than | could afford at any one
writing to pen the same. On the other
hand, censorship must be considered.
First of all, am enjoying good
health; also am eating three squares
day. Surely that is a great deal
to boast of, especially when you con-
slider my present location, which is Tor
was) the scene of a most vicious,
bloody battle less than a week ago.
In the village where i am now located
there is not a single building that is
not completely punctured by shell fire.
Most places are literally torn to pieces.
Most of this destruction, believe.
was caused by our own fire and that
of the French, for we certainly have
had the Huns on the run for some
time. At this present writing they
are still on the go. So fast is the re-
treat that we have taken hundreds of
large guns and thousands upon thou
sands of rounds of ammunition, not
to mention 1000 prisoners that have
fallen into our hands on this drive.
As we walked along the roads yes
terday we could look on either side
and see dead Huns-boys who had
died with their boots on in defense
of their country. Strange as it may
seem, my heart is hardened to a point
where such sight while pitiful. is
a pleasure. For surely that is one
way Of defeating our enemy-put him
in his grave. Some boys told me last
night that the fields further up the
line tabout two miles) are covered
with dead Huns. AS l write this let

Carol Gilmore is back on the job
at Camp Greene and says that he has
been very busy in getting things in
the company canteen in business-hke

Ambulance Company No. 60.
An illustration of the desire to be
in the thick of the fight. Lieutenant
Fred Girton, an old Denver boy, has
been back of the lines for some time,
on account of slight injury. and has
recently been on detail guarding a
bunch of German prisoners. This was
not in line with Fred's ideas of the
scrapping doughboy, SO he begged his
commanding officer to let him return
to the front, where things We're doing
out of which history is rapidly being
made.

their objectives.
On Saturday night the Germans did
a little damage. Their machine gun
barrage caught a small group of men
wounding several.
Periodical machine gun outbreaks
and hand grenade encounters continue
The artillery is normally active, in
termittently whooping it up into
temperamental outburst of explosions
and flying shells, then dying down to
its usual laundering, continuous mo-
nitony Of noise.
The American gunners can give the
firemen back home many pointers on
getting into action in hurry Ii
takes about thirty seconds for them
to get started. When some vigilant sen
try in a lonely listening post anticl-
pates a raid, his signal rockets demand
a barrage. Within half a minute after
the signal is flashed the American
gunners in their dugouts many kilo-
meters to the rear have scrambled up
from their caves, jumped to their plac-
es and sent an impenetrable wall of
steel crashing down upon the boche 8

Enters Fed Fer
Senator From Marisa

Having received requests from vstere
all over Marion county, to make the
race for state senator, aad having tax
en- the matter under consideration, /
hereby announce my candidacy for state
senator, to the Republican voters of
Marion county. dom It think it neees-
sary to tell the people of this county
how ] stand on Economy, Retrenehment
Reform, Reduction Of Taxes and Cut
ting-out of all useless commissions where
it don't impair the efficiency of the
state institutions. I stand on these mat
ters where 1 have alvaRys stood; for the
interest of the state of Oregon and the
taxpayers.
Having been a resident of this eoun-
ty for So years, having been elected
a member of the house twice, and of
the senate once, and served in five ses-
sions of the Legislature, don't think
it necessary to announce any particular
platform, for the people Of this county
surely know where I stand.

will finish this later as now have
to march the men up for more blan.
kets, last night we had but two and we
nearly frOze.
Monday p. m. haven t had chance
to write until now so will try and fin.
ish, before anything else happens.
Now about the trip-we left Fort
Mcdowell early Wednesday morning
and took the Santa Fe down through
the San Joaquine valley. 1t got dark
when we were about to Bakersfield
the heart of the oil fields.
When we awoke the next morning
we were in Arizona, in the bad
lands' a miniature Of the Grand Can
yon. Cliffs of serried storm torn sand
stone, all a drear red. After half a
day of this we began to- climb and the
country turned into foot hills covered
with stunted pine. That evening we
crossed into New Mexico, stopped a
half hour at some little town where
we saw Indians, bead work and local
specimens Of "Alkali Ike. :" New Mex
leo proved to be barren flat prairie
stretching for hundreds of miles. Gov
cred with snow, it made me think ,>of
a great white table cloth, Texas which
followed was the same. At stations
where we stopped we would all get out
and have SNOWFALL fights.
At Amarillo, Texas we changed to
the Rock Island line. A noted imme-
diate change in the people, different
atmosphere altogether.
The train carried "Jim crow" car
for negroes. Here in Oklahoma there
is distinct line drawn. Waiting rooms
are always divided, one marked "for
whites and the other for negroes. -
This applies to trains, restaurants, etc,
l haven't time to write more now.
This ism It much of letter for there is
bunch around talking and / can t
concentrate my thoughts but will write
more about Oklahoma later.
Write me all about home for I long
to hear
With lots of love,
