Herbert Prange Captain

A letter was received by Mr.. and
Mrs. Christ Prange of Reedsburg
which stated that their son, Herbert
Prange, had been honored by being
appointed captain of Company A OF
Sank county, part of the now fa-
nous 32d division which has done
such splendid fighting in France. He
is a son-in-law of Sheriff and Mrs.
William Welk, Baraboo.
Walter Prange is doing valiant work
in France. Captain Herbert Prange
is the second oldest. Then Lieuten-
ant Arthur Prange, who was returned
to Camp Dix, N. j., as an instructor
in practice and trench warfare, and
the youngest son, Erick Prange, left
last week for training at Camp Shell
by, Mississippi.

slacken their efforts to win the war
with the idea that Germany has quit.
have tried hard to get some relics
or the war but a sailor has little
chance with all those soldiers over
there to pick up everything; however
sure will get all l can. Some of the
soldiers that get more than they want
sell. them and one of the boys on our
ship bought helmet for five dollars
from a soldier but have not been able
to get one yet.
You say you wonder what | was
doing and where | was at the time
that you wrote your first letter Well,
we were up the river at Bordeaux un-
loading the ship. | do not remember
the name of the river, but you know
or can find out by looking on a map
and | do not have one here. On the
other voyage we could get tobacco and
cigarettes in La Havre, but could get
none in Bordeaux, so we had to come
back without any We did not mind
being without flour and coffee, fresh
meat and things, but it was hard to
be without smokes. AS soon as we hit
the dock over here | went over to
store and got seventeen cartons of
cigarettes worth-for the boys,
and | have been smoking myself head
achy ever since.
| am glad your hens have turned
patriotic and are laying more eggs
than you use. We see very few eggs
ON a ship and no fresh ones at all.
We don't get any papers or news of
any kind until we get back, so don't
know much of what has happened I'M
til we do On our way back we got
some wireless messages about peace
proposals and the surrender of the
BulgarS, but that was all. Influenza is
bad on the coast here, and | think
probably that is one reason why we
can't get away for long. They don't
like to put anyone on these ships now
that are not Oldtimers, as it is always
bad weather in the fall and winter and
inexperienced sailors are not much
good until they have made a trip or
two to get used to things. We have
good crew on this ship. All are good
workers and good sailors, or this old
ship never could go with so small
crew. 1t was quite a shock to most of
us when we were aground, but no one
showed any fear and all went on with
their work. 1t was my luck to be off
OF watch and | was on deck at the
time.
Please let this letter do for the Wei
richs also, as it is impossible for me
to write to all that | would like to.
| am glad Lyle has started to school
again and I'll bet he has grown some
since | saw him last. Well! | have
written about all can think of, SO will
say goodbye, hoping this letter finds
you and all Of the rest up there as it
leaves me-in the best of health.
AS ever, your friend,

ARMY FOR HUSBANDS
WITH LIGHT PURSES
madison Journal)

When a married man has been con-
tributing less than his family would
get under government allotment, the
draft regulations would put him in
the army, according to District Attor-
ney Harry Sauthoff, as he is then
without grounds for claiming exemp-
ton on account of his dependents.
When he is charged with nonsupport
besides, it is the public duty of the
prosecutor to get him into military
service, Mr.. Sauthoff adds.
When a Madison man with wife
and baby provides them only $3.50 a
month, when a wife alone finds she
can get $50 month with soldier
husband-$15 from him and SIS from
the government-and when so many
able-bodied men are charged with non
support and abandonment, the remedy
is easy. Mr.. Sauthoff today announced
his weeks recommendations to the
draft boards, his cases having brought
out some of these foregoing facts He
asks the following men be placed in
class LA:
Martin GENERALIZATION draft
board now in Dane county jail.
Edwin Worthing, Mazomanie-
Dane county draft board No. l.
Glen E. Pelton, Dane-Dane
county draft board No. /.
William Corscot, Madison
Madison draft board.
The government allots SIS monthly
to the wife of man in service, $40
additional for the first child, $3.50 for
the next, and so on.

Antiaircraft Gunners..
Drop Two and Fit Away; When Fritz
Settles Down, Wake Him
Up Again.

Behind the British Lines in France
One of the most exciting tasks to
which airmen are assigned Is -desul-
tory bombing" over one spot for an
hour or more. The object Is to dis
tract the attention of the aDtiaircraft
defenders of a given district.
A machine carrying a dozen or more
bombs is employed for the work. The
airman, pilot and an observer APP
preach their target cautiously. With
engines throttled down, the craft glides
nearer and nearer.
Below AL Is quiet. No German
searchlights are sweeping the sky.
When the attackers are almost over
their object rocket rises and bursts
into a cluster OF red stars.
The machine has been discovered
At once six or seven searchlights throw
their beams aloft. The pilot looks at
his watch; II is time to begin bombing.
He flies steadily on. although bar
rage of bursting shells lies now in
front OF him. The observer looks
through the wires of his bomb sight.
He thrusts his lever forward and re-
leases two bombs A few seconds
later he sees the fash Of their explo-
sions, and hears two dull roars. He
signals to the pilot and the machine
sweeps away from the fiery ring OF
shells and searehlights.
few miles away the airplaue flies
to and fro at top speed. The puzzled
searchlights vainly feel the sky In all
directions and then. one by one, are
switched of.
Then the pilot quickly returns to-
ward the target. Another bomb is
dropped. As it explodes the search
lights reappear and the barrage is re-
newed, while through the shell bursts
are threaded the chains Of green fam
ing globes SO much used by the Ger
mans.
Again the machine flies away and
this time TO hewilder the soldiers be-
low, the observer fires a white Yerey
light, which slowly drifts down and
fades out. All the searchllghts follow
ii until II dies
Repeatedly the nirmen return to the
attack. Bombs are dropped at inter.
walls until the end Of the hour. when
the machine departs, pickering fires
and clouds Of smoke telling Of the
havoc wrought by the bombs.
