connects with the High street sewer.
| For some reason or other, when the

called for by the plat, which was
made several years ago, and as the
result of the very slight fall, the

Ne ImUite You

To look at our store windows to see
the photographs of Dorchester Boys that are
now in the service of Uncle Sam. Many
have been on the firing line and have stood
the acid test with great credit. No town or
county can show better specimens of young
manhood than Dorchester and these boys
are proving it.
The Fourth Liberty Loan was over,
subscribed. The American people can al
ways be depended upon to meet every con-
dition in these war times. We must sup
port and help these boys who are now
making our fight. Write them bright, newsy
letters and buy THRIFT and WAR saw

dollar you have.

France. Sept. 25. 1918.

| France, Sept. 25, 1918.
My dear Mr.. and Mrs. Barth:
Before you receive this letter you
will have been advised by the AdJu-
tant General of the death of your
son, Herman He was i'll less than a
week. An attack of influenza was
followed by pneumonia, and took him
from us Monday, Sept. 23rd. He was
buried this afternoon, the whole bat
terry attending the funeral. His i'll
ness developed very rapidly, and 1t
was not until Saturday that he be-
came seriously ILL l saw him at the
Infirmary several times, and had
talk with him at the hospital the day
before he died. He was quite lively
then. | went 10 see him Sunday af-
ternoon, but the doctor advised me
not to see him, as he was so very Ill
and they were afraid that the slight
est shock would be detrimental. He
died a few hours afterwards.
No man in the battery was held in
higher esteem by both officers and
men. He made an ideal soldier and
non-commissioned officer, and the Of
ficer had already selected him for the
next sergeant. We all feel very keen
ly his loss, and L assure you that you
have our deepest sympathy. He died
for his country, just as truly as If
he had fallen on the battle field.
He is buried in grave No. 52,Camp
Cemetery, Camp Mencon, France, CA.
P. O., 779). / have had his grave
carefully located, and it will be
marked in a few days. He had a
military funeral and his coffin was
draped with the flag he served under
so well. Chaplain Du Bell conducted
the services, which were very simple,
but impressive l think everything
possible under the conditions was
done to save him, and he had good
medical attention.
If there is anything l can do or
any further information you desire.
please let me know. l feel a great
sense of personal loss in your sons
death, as he has served under me for
more than a year, and | had grown
to esteem and like him to an unusual
degree Again extending my deep
est sympathy, and that of all the Of
ficers and men of Battery F. l re-
main, Very truly yours,
A. H. BOYDH,
Captain, 10th F. A, A. E. F.
France, Sept. "a, 1918.
My dear Mr.. and Mrs Barth:
Our Battery has asked me to ex-
press to you our sympathy at the
death Of your son, Herman.
He was a friend of all of us. For
more than a year we worked side by
side. During this time he set us a
constant example of cheerfulness,l 10y
atty and selfsacrifice We will never
forget him.
We realize no words can console
you in your loss, but We want you to
know that in giving your son to our
country, you have given a true
American soldier Every man in the
Battery joins with me in expressing
their deepest sympathy to you and
all who were dear to him.
