ENROLLED UNDER RED CROSS
Greek Girls, Trained Here as Nurses,
Will Do Work Of Mercy in Their
Own, Country.

Greek girls In the uniforms Of
American Red Cross nurses are now
serving in the hospitals Of Greece.
These girls are part of a number from
New England who, anxious to, help
their fellow. countrymen.. decided to
become nursing aids, says the public
information bureau, Washington.
They enrolled In training. courses in
the Massachusetts General hospital
and other Boston hospitals, where
they soon became proficient in their
work. Recently four Of them, who
had practically completed their
courses, decided that they would like
to go back, to. Greece. with the sAmeri.
can mission which was. just then about
to leave. Through the Greek legation
they applied for permission to go with
this mission as members of the Amer
lean Red Cross.
Now they are not only serving their
own people. but are also creating a
feeling in Greece which. cements the
long. friendship of the Greeks with
America. Although. no American
troops have, been landed on Greek
soil, the people are nevertheless
pleased with the sight Of an Ameri-
can uniform, no matter what branch
of the service it represents.
Another group of Greek girls In
Boston is taking up courses at SIM
mons college In dietetics, domestic
science and home aid. These, girls
also expect shortly to sail for Greece.

from the Pacific on an Ice pack, are
both believed approaching the new 81

Arctic. ocean of the mouth of the
Lena river In Siberia. Authorities
credited with knowing the Arctic cur
rents believe the two will reach the is
lands early next year, the Washington
Evening Sar says.
No other explorers are now in the
Arctic, and It is thought very likely
that neither Amundsen nor Storkerson
knows the other has the same goal In
mind. They probably will not meet,
for Storkerson Is, expected to arrive
ahead of sAmundsen and probably will
land far west Of Aliundsen's course.
Amundsen, the liscoverer Of the
south pole and navigator of the diff
cult Northwest passa ge, is on the first
lap of Journey to The north pole. He
expects to make tl.e last lap by air.

general direction of civilization after
spending several years in the Arctic.
Both are seeking new lands and study
Ing the currents and life of the north

When Amundsen reaches the Siberi-
an islands the current, it is believed,
will turn and carry him north. He Is
expected to remain with the drift until
it lands him on the imnlovable ice far
up toward the pole. There, according
to his plans, he Will establish, base

ole RonniIlg of near Runnlngville
sent us an ear of yellow corn last Sat
urday that is certainly prize taking
specimen. The ear of corn is almost
perfect in shape and it has eighteen
rows of corn that average something
like Al kernels of corn to the row.
Each row of corn is fully developed
from butt to tip, and the entire ear
has better than 800 kerles of corn on
it. We have been wondering of late
why it woulc. not be good idea to
prepare some eight or ten exhibits
from as many different fields of corn
grown in this county this year and
show them at the NATIONAL Corn Show
We are going to investigate the mat
ter and in the mean time we would
like to hear from our local corn grow
ers and find out how many would be
willing to prepare an exhibit for this
purpose. Let ns let the world know
that we can raise good corn in Mel

LETTERS FROM OUR SOLDIER

France, August 18th, 10

Dear Father
First call this morning: Whiz,
Whee, Bang. One particular shell
whizzed so long that | thought the
bang" was going to be right at my
bed: in fact it was too close for com
fort. We aroused the "Boche's" last
night when our artillery sent him a
wac n shower, SO retaliated by send
ing us few throughout the night.
One gets use to being shelled and does
not lave any particular dread for it.
Of course when they hit real close, |
cannot say one feels at home. Thus
far | have found shell fire no more
annoying than some of the electrical
storms we have i'm Dakota. Another
factor that figures great deal ia the
matter is the carefree spirit one has
after being i'm the army for some some
time. American artillery fire is pass
ing over me now and ariel fights are
to be seen almost any time. These
air fights are very interesting and
America has crack aviators that make
the Germans hunt their hole.
l have received all of Helens letters
Some of them came 1ery late-oE an
average 1t takes a letter about a
month to reach me. But | have had
only one letter from you. ! am very
sorry that you did not learn of my
safe arrival before. Helen's last let
ter was dated July 18th and at that
time you had not heard from me.
But surely you have heard by this
time.
Thi, is your busy time, in fact all
time is your busy time. Dad, | sin
cerely hope that it will not be necesS-
airy for you to do all you now are do
ing, much longer. | want to help you

boys OF our company she met at Fun
ston are still with US, with the excep-
tion Of Albertson.
There is very little wind in France,
whicn is very unlike Kansas and
South Dakota. This fact makes gas
practical for warfare. In South Da-
kota the wind would soon blow the
gas in such fine PARTICLES that its use
would be anything but practical. 1t
is certainly terrible stuff, and wish
it would not be used on either side.
Some day, and | hope that day is not
far in the future, l will tell you all "a
things in detail.

Thrilling Report Of Naval Gun
Crews Defense of Steamer
LuCkenbach.
MEN NAMED, SHIP ATTIRE
U. S. Destroyer Rushes to Rescue Just
as Shell CrippIes Engines
Crew Fires 2o2 Shots to
Foes 225.

WashingtOn.-A detailed account OF
the four-hour battle on October IS
last between a German submarine and
the American steamer j. l.. Lucken-
bach has been furnished to the navy
department by the commander Of the
naval guard on the ~Luckenbach, which
reached port, although hit several
times by shells. The submarine fired
225 shots and the Luckenbach POP. In
the midst of the battle wireless dis
tress calls sent out by the Luckenbach
were picked up by an American de-
stroyer, which replied that it would
take two hours to reach the scene, and
advised the steamer not to surrender.
Two hours and twenty minutes later
the destroyer had arrived close enough
to fire its first shot at the submarine.
which submerged ten minutes later
and disappeared.
The report received by the navy de-
partment says that at $50 a. m. the
Luckenbach reported a steamer
abeam. The commander o. the armed
guard sighted her himself about one
point forward of the port beam. While
he was scrutinizing the steamer
through the glass a sail appeared on
her. Both Of the Luckenbach's guns
were trained on the vessel. The guard
