PEORIA, Dec. 16-Little old Peoria
is a wonder city Burned down less
than a year ago, lately with many
cases of the FLU" the merchants never
turned a feather and have built modern
store buildings and stocked them up.
The Red Cross more than carried on its
share of the work and now the Peoria
Civic Club which is practically the
same band of women, is planning to
build a club house home this spring
Plans are not completed but are far
enough along that it is an assured
proposition.

The American Victory

At outpost No. 6, there was a
sort of stampede. The soldiers
there were new soldiers just from
America and had not been in any
fights yet. They had got word
that the Germans were coming in
full force on their certain post.
There were to be ten divisions OF
Germans, while there were only
three regiments of tn Americans.
They had no real thought of how
it would come out and the regi-
ments were divided up into little
groups talking earnestly about
what they were going to do.
There were several tons of pow
der in one Of the out houses. and
they were to plant it in a long
field all along the front of the
post. That was intended to blow
up the advancing troops.
But they knew that the powder
was not enough to destroy all the
Germans so they made a lot OF
dummies and put the American
uniform on them, and they were
more destructive than the powder,
because they had put some high
explosives in each one, and as
soon as a German touched it, he
would be blown sky high.
In the German camp, the sol
diers were very hilarious with the
thought of winning a great victory
over the Americans as the Ger
man officers put it.
At eleven o'clock the order for
charge was given to the Ger
mans. 1t took the Germans over
two hours to get to the American
post. because part of them we're
drunk ard others were SO sleepy
they couldn't keep their heads up.
When they saw the American
post. they rushed forward with
cultural shouts of. "The Ameri-
cans, the Yanks, show no mercy"
Bnt in half a minute there was a
terrible explosion, and the gutteral
shouts of onward" changed to
yelps for mercy and cries of pain.
| The Huns who were not caught in
the explosion rushed onto the dunn
mics, and when they did not
move the Germans kicked them
There was another explosion
which blew them to the sky
Those who were not caught in that
explosion were made short work OF
by the real American soldiers.
That Is how the three raw
American regiments whipped the
crack German army of ten divi
sions. David Henderson.

As Belgium Is Now

The kaiser now owns practically
all of Belgium. The Belgian king
and government are in exile. The
land is devastated. 1t has no
money because the Germans have
robbed the land by means of forced
loans. Food is scarce. the Huns
have appropriated the nations
food supplies for the use of the
German army They have even
driven the Belgian cows whose
milk was needed for the Belgian
babies into Germany. In addition
to these things men. women and
children have been deported into
Germany. The women and chill
dren work in munition plants. the
old men are forced to work in
mines, factories, and industrial
plants thus leaving free for mill
tary duty the men who were left
behind to do this work
Maeterlinck, the great Belgian
writer, says that all men between
the ages of eighteen to thirty are
beng depOrted TO the German
trenches. They are half starved
and are often clothed in a single
garment They are driven with
bayonets to dig trenches and set
up wire entanglements. 1t is esti-
mated that over $4,000 Belgians are
digging trenches for the Germans
back of scissors.
The people of Belgium are ar
rested by the German military Of
fcers on the slightest offences.
For instance the little son of Coun-
tess de Buissaret was arrested be-
cause he was doing the goose step
when a company of German sol
diers were going by.

and he said real bisness partners
talk things over every night, so |
guessed better write to you same
as I'd talk, don't you think so dad,
and anyhow | wanted to ask you
t.bout Icing general because
that's what | am now and | want to
be regular good one.
Yesterday l forgot to tell you
about when Bill and all the fellows
were going back to school with me
after seeing you off, dad Bill said.
say fellows let's start regular
regiment and we said alright so
we made some signs and put
them up around school so more
fellows would enlist, and they did,
so tonight we got her started.
Bill Hadley is captain and Harold
Jones is. luitennent and then I'm
general because you know dad,
when a fellows got real father in
the army he ought to have pretty
good Office and besides you can tell
me all about how they do things.
Some of the fellows wanted to be
sargeants too but we said no be-
cause you know dad you've got to
have plenty of ordinary privates or
you can't drill very much can you?
We've got twelve and that only
make three rows now but I'm 60
ing to be pretty good general.
only how does you general give his
ordinary privates their orders,
Tommy Harlow said l didn't know
and l said did Doesn't he give
them to the captain and he give
them to the liutenant, that's what |
said, only when the fellows don't
do right you've got to hollow at
them yourself instead of waiting
for the officers to do it, don't you
dad, | knew it,
I guess we got in sort of a little
fuss tonight, because, well after
they had just marched and turned
around and all that, | said we'd
have some trench practice down in
that waterpipe ditch they're making
over on the commons, but Tom
said he wouldn't because he had on
some new shoes, and he was afraid
he'd get them little muddy the
hio ciccV and I caid he'd half tn
because he had enlisted and we
were going to act like regular SOL
diers, and he said he'd like to see a
general or anybody that could make
him so had to. But | guess l did
get him a little muddy and then
