We advanced against machine
gun fire in skirmish line, and it
was more luck than anything,
together with bad shooting by
fritz, that kept most of us from
being hit-cause we don't know
enough to be afraid. The ma
chine gun bullets were flying all
around but didn't put very many
of us to the bad. Many of us
were smoking cigarettes and
having fun out of it. I didn't
see any dead Americans and very
few wounded, but / did see
bunch of dead huns and lots of
prisoners.
The bullets came as close as |
wanted them to. The artillery
fire was tough though, and sure
put us on the lookout, but after
it was over, we kept right on 60
ing.
The huns we captured were
mostly young fellows, and near
" all the dead Germans were
shot through the head. When
we run into the Germans they
always put up their hands and if
they don't put them up right
away, or obey orders, good
night.
When we put them on the run
there was German ammunition
stacked all along the road that
we captured. The Germans have
dugouts all over the country
and some must have had
life pretty nice. You ought
to see some of the towns that
have been under artillery fire.
The houses are all made Of Gem
ent and some are banged to
pieces while others are half gone.
This regiment | am in was the
one that started the huns back
in our sector and wechased them
quite a ways, wading through
growing wheat up to our arm
pits. We couldn't see them, but
the bullets pinged by us and
we could hear the machine guns
rattle. l don't know how many
towns we took in the fight.
| was in the front line advan-
cling and | saw bunch of huns
running towards a small town
and | did my bit. These are the
only time | saw any in the fight.
There is a bunch of steel tanks
near where we are camped and
they are sure something to see.
| saw a plane come down in
flames while we were chasing the
huns. They chased each other
just like two hawks way up in
the air and pretty soon onecame
tumbling down in flames.
| am in the automatic rifle
squad now. The machine gun
and the automatic rifle sure eats
up the bullets. The machine
guns just rattle them off steady
but the automatic rifle only
shoots 20 shots with one pull of
the trigger,

Big Time at Camp.

The management of Camp
Winnepe, that live, up-to-the-
minute American boys camp on
Catfish, just at the outskirts
of the capital of Villas county,
are to be thanked by every one
of the four hundred souls who
drove and launched out to the
camp grounds last Sunday after
noon. The management had adj
vertised an exhibition, military
and athletic, for that afternoon,
and they certainly furnished the
real entertainment. There was
drilling by the camps squad
and it was 100 per cent good;
there was wrestling, swimming
canoe fitting, diving, base ball,
and every other kind of athletic
stunts which the camp pulls off
for the benefit of the city lad.
And at the end of the eight weeks
this same lad, pale and thin
when he comes but filled out and
bronzed when he returns home,
has enjoyed something which
money cannot buy. 1t is period
of interesting freedom given the
lad under the tutorship ofexperts
at the outdoor stuff which every
American boy loves to delve into.
They are better young men for it
too. Camp Winnepe, managed
by E. I. Marriott and H. L.
Thomas, is certainly one whole
some place for the growing boy.
The owners of this camp know
how to give that which the
growing youngster wants, but
is never able to obtain in the
city. Here it is the real Nature
made stuff-not man-made which
he has been up against all his
life-and he eats it up like red
blooded fellow should. The
camp left this morning for home,
some eighty good, clean, healthy
bronzed lads who showed that
they had had the time of their
life in the Big Woods country
during the past eight weeks.

Employs Loss of Promotion is
Officially Explained

New York, Aug. 19.-Any
mystery" which may have
existed regarding the loss of
captains commission in the
United States army by Arthur
Guy Empey was swept away
here today when a letter to
Empey from Joseph P. Tu-
nudity, presidential secretary,
was made public. 1t says the
commission was Withdrawn
when Employs services as a
recruiting officer became un-
necessary. Empey was to
have aided enlistment and
when enlistments were STOP
ped his services were regard
ed as unnecessary.
This will cause some of
those pro-Cerman newspapers
in this section who have used
the propaganda stuff against
Empey without ascertaining
whether it was fact or cold
lies, to feel that they are in a
class with the devil and the
kaiser. Too bad that some
men who have the opportun-
ity to own a newspaper to
use it for petty or damphool
reasons. Should be weeded
out.
