quiry, that the headquarters and two
battalions were, at last report, some
where in the Argonne. The other

United States, and is now under or
ders. 1t may be some little time,
even some two or three months be-

which was later turned over to an
other son, the late w. L. Connor.
Dan Connor was identified with the
management OF this hotel during the
reign of both father and brother.
The new lessees of the Austin have
already taken possession, and have
been busy getting the heating sys-
TEN in good working order for the
comfort and convenience of the pat
rons. 1t is the intention Of the new
management to open the dining room

For R. c. Started

Everything is in readiness for the
Red Cross membership drive, which
began December 16 and ends Decem-
ber 20. Oregon is preparing once
more to 80 over the top and the
state machinery built up by State
Manager II. Il. Witham, assisted in
every county by the local chapters Of
the Red Cross, was set In motion on

into history as an unparalleled hu-
manitarian institution, Thruout the
nation II is the wish to enroll 50,-
100000 members in the coming
drive. This is more than double the
number listed in the Christmas roll

that all who became members last
year should renew their member
ships and those who we're overlooked
at that time should join now.

details for the campaign starting
this week in Ashland. Owing to the
Influenza cases prevalent here a

cred unadvsable, so booths have
been prepared in public places where
managers will secure membership
subscriptions to the Red Cross. Six
OF these booths, one at the postoffice,
First National Bank, Citizens Bank,
Library, Salvage Depot, and CanteeD
Station are in readiness for this pur-
pose.

held the week before Christmas, De-
cember 1928.

dith, who is with the 65th regiment

ter was dated November 20, which is

front. Meredith says:
II am writing this in a French
house where ] am rooming at the

here and seem to take quite an in
terest in us. They have two small
children which, by the way, are
bothering me so / can hardly write.

that the war is over that we dom:
hardly know what we are doing more
than half the time. You see, little
mother, we expect to see home,

onel said that he thought the heavy
artillery would go home very soon.
Gee, | sure hope he is right, for then
| might get home in time for Christ
mas. Wouldn't 1t be great, tho? But
| hardly think we can get home 50
soon. However, my predictions OF
some six months ago won't be so far
wrong, will they?
I've sure got a lot to tell you
about all have seen and everything.
We were in five different drives on
five different points during our So
journ on the front. We we're in ac-
tion continuously from the first OF
September until about the 18th OF
November without a rest. We sure
had 1t pretty hard at times, but 1t is
