idea of the amount of work that is
being done by the Bayfield, County
Red Cross Chapter or the vast amount
of good that this organization is do

boxes of materials forwarded to the
Central organization, and this includes

In the list published in the Times
last week giving the names of per-
sons to whom questionnaires had
been mailed but which had been re
turned by the local post office as
uncalled for appeared the name OF
Lawrence Packard of this city.
The Times wishes to state that
Lawrence Packard is member OF
the Bayfield, County company and
his enlistment in the service OF
Uncle Sam was voluntary. A num-
Der of others whose names were
published have since been located
and have had their 9uestionnaires
made out in proper form. Those
who have failed to give the proper
mailing address on their
registration slips and who fail to
make out auestionnaires and return
to the local board will be classed as
"slackers and will be dsalt with
as such by the government.

Yankee Gunners Wipe
Out German Battalion
of Infantry Near Fismes

With the American Army on the
Aisne-Marne Front, Aug. 7.-Ameri~
can machine gunners. protecting a
location on the Vesle, west of
Fismes, wiped out an entire battalion
of German infantrymen and machine
gunners yesterday. The Germans,
at the time were getting into po-
sition to attack a group of American
bridge builders who were approach
ing the location.
Some bridge material already had
been moved near the south bank of
the Vesle and the Germans, appar-
emily discovering this fact, had sent
battalion to hill position to pre-
vent the Americans from carrying
out their plan. A detachment of
crack American machine gunners,
however, previously had taken an
elevated position commanding the
location and opened fire when the
Germans appeared.
Observers reported that they did
not see a single German get away
from the leaden hail, and, according
to the last accounts, not even enemy
stretcher bearers approached the
scene. The Germans replied so
feebly with their fire, because of the
surprise, that there were no Amer
lean casualties.
