Wounded in France.

Sam Vandel, south of Woodland,
received a telegram Sunday from the
war department announcing the sad
news that his son, Waldo Vandel, OF
Co. A, 131st U. S. Infantry, A. f.. F.,
had been wounded while in action
on the battle front in France the de-
gree of his injuries not being known
at the time of sending the telegram,
or did not give any information as
to when or upon what sector OF the
battle front the young man was
wounded, This is the second time
young Vandel has been wounded
since his arrival at the front. Mr..
Vandel received a letter a short
time ago from his son, dated Sept.
Ord, in which he stated he was then
confined in one of the base hospitals
back of the lines, recovering from
wounds received in battle sometime
previous, but expected to be dis
charged that day and would imme-
diately return to his regiment and
resume his duties having fully re-
covered from his injuries. Waldo
was in the February draft from
Woodland township and left Camp
Dodge for overseas the latter part OF
May. It is hoped by the many
friends OF the family in this section
that the next news received of him
will be of q reassuring nature

about the only enjoyment we get
that is anything like home. l saw
Joe about two months ago; wrote to
him but never received an answer.
We had big long talk, talked over
old times. He thinks about as much
of France as do and he had not
been here only three weeks. Then
we see some great things over here,
things you would never dream that
could happen, things that are i'm.
are winning this war. You see cities
blown to pieces, not even a wall
standing, forests moved down like
little blades of grass, sides OF hills
blown to pieces like an earthquake

all is. Underground cities like
