short of breath. Robert says that he
was asleep in an advanced shell hole
when the Germans threw over a
heavy barrage of gas shells and he

Nearly every day one or two boys
return home from the army camps,
having received their honorable dis
charge. So far there has been no at
tempt made to give the returning SOL
diers reception of any kind on &C
count of the influenza and it is likely
that no public reception will be held
until large part of the boys have
arrived, but when blowout is held
for them it will be a genuine cele-
bration. In the meantime they need
not think that the people of Morris
and Stevens county are not glad to
have them back, because they GER
tainly are.
