its municipal water supply, and as a
preliminary was this morning granted
permission to appropriate 20 second
feet of the waters of the Clackapas

ARMY's TWO SENSES
CBy Review Leased wire)

Nby ReFlcW Leased Nlre)
 1 WITH THE AMERICAN FORCES
 IN FRANCE, Oct. 30.-An army has
 many eyes, and they never close. At night the eyes are not so useful as during the day, of course, but when darkness comes the army uses it's ears listening posts here and there be- yond the front line. Soldiers crawl, some times even within the enemy's lines, and crawl back again before day light and report what they have heard.
 During the day aviators are report ing from time to time after flights, detailing what they have seen beyond the front. From hills, tree tops, high buildings, village church steeples and various heights, including captive balloons, movements of the enemy are observed by strong glasses ten to fif- teen miles back of the lines. Every movement of troops or equipment seen by an observer is reported. From these reports the commanders, taking into consideration various other ac- counts from. numerous sources, make their plans for the future and act as guides for the officers in making in- fantry and artillery attacks.
Bisbee daily review., 1918-11-17

Bringing the last word concerning the disappearance of Frank Luke, Jr., the marvellous Phoenix airman, the best known of American aces, a let ter from his commanding officer, Capt. Alfred A. Grant of the air serv- ice, commanding the 27th aero squad ron in France, was received yesterday by Frank Luke, the father
 The letter was written ten days after urged by Captain Grant not to worry, as they are practically certain the airman is a prisoner in the hands of the Germans. and that he will get exceptionally good treatment as he was the best known American avia- tor"
 The letter is as follows:
 ''Alr and Mrs. Frank Luke. 2200 West
 Monroe street, Phoenix, Ariz. My Dear Friends.
 'I know you are anxiOusly awaiting definite news regarding your son Frank, who will have been reported missing in action by the war depart ment ere this reaches you.
 Tt is now ten days since we last saw him, hence he is carried as miss ing. None of us are over depressed, for we feel, and trust you will feel with us, that he is a prisoner, yet well and alive.
 T can do no better than to write as fully as censorship will permit in order that you get the picture of con- ditions. On September 12, Frank went out with patrol, but due to clouds, he became separated from the others. Finding himself over an enemy balloon he at once attacked it and brought it down in flames. He then landed near our balloon lines and brought home a confirmation of his work. This was his beginning and his first official victory. He was very happy, as were we all, for only those who have gone after balloons realize how hard it is to combat them
 After his first victory I gave him a new plane with especial equipment. He and Lieut.. Joseph Wehner were great friends and worked together for their results.
 From this time till the 29th, when he went missing his record is one whirlwind of achievement We thought he was going too fast so we sent him on a four days leave. He came back rested and with added enthusiasm for work
 'On one occasion he, with Wehner, went out at dusk to attack some bal looms previously identified. Lieuten- ant Wehner on this occasion protect ed from above, while Frank attacked. Just as the show started a formation of Huns attacked them, but Wehner fought the group and Luke continued his attack until three balloons were burned, he then turned and shot down one of the attackers. He was starting home alone and saw our anti-air craft guns shooting at a plane on our side of the lines. He flew to it, attacked and sent it to the ground Five con firmed victories in the space of 30 or 40 minutes. This has seldom or never been eQualled. The cross which you will find in his trunk is taken from this last plane.
 'On the 27th of September he went out in the evening and spotted sev- eral balloon locations. He did not re- turn that night, but stayed at our ad- vanceSoutpost up near the lines. The crews there went over his plane and filled up gas and oil.
 He stayed with our boys there the

 Guess you read about the biz drive that was made by the Tanks at St. Mihiel We'll. they were in 1t from the start to the finish and never lost a man. They sure were glad to see me and did not want me to leave. but of course l could not stay long for | was on duty. but do get a chance to see them. for my lieutenant gives me an hour or so to myself and 1 take that time in seeing the boys. So if you want to you can put little piece in the Bisbee paper, and let their moth CTS know | saw them and all were well and doing fine Now as I told you where they have been | will tell you where have been in France. Most of Iuy lime in France has been on the front We started at Chateau Thlcrry July the 14th and stayed on that front till September 6-was go- ing out for a rest, but was sent back to another front. We travelled a few days and soon were on the Verdun front and never stopped till we were past the Argonne forest It started September 9, 2:15 a. m. How well remember that day, for I was run ming for our company. My work was to keep up with the infantry and keep in touch with them so we could get our ambulance to them and bring back the wounded men to our field hos pital. There are four ambulance com panies in our divisian and We are talk CT at the best. We get all front line work and believe me it sure is a hot job. but our boys are all good ones and only too glad to do their bit Have never had a day off since ] have been in France nor have our officers. One of our officers is in the hospital; he was gassed the same time l was but got it worse than | did. l was sick for a little over two weeks, but took good care of myself and the boys in my company looked after me, too, and it was not long till l was back like my oCAA d6dAh AtEl AAAAC ubM anu no one would ever know I had been gassed unless l told them so.
 Say. George, it has been long time since I have heard from you, but guess you are busy with the stage line, but please do see if you can find time to answer this letter for a letter from your friends sure is a treat over here. get mail from my girl pretty often and also her mother and they tell me a lot of news that is going on in the state, but you know letter from you would help one just that much more. Oh, yes. l never saw the Holland boy for he is not in this outfit and also COra's brother. the black haired girl that lives up the canyon just before you start up the hill. Gee, Geo, sure wish I was making that trip again. They tell me you have a nice road to Tombstone now. Well, must close for this time, can't put my address down so get it off the Kid.
 "Oh, yes, Noel named his 75 milime- ter gun 'Bisbee,' and has the name written on both sides of the barrel, and the boys are called the Arizona Wild Cats. We are called the Iron Division.
