dered into the town of Hattiesburg
last Sunday. and having noticed that
Old Glory had not been appearing at
the top Of the town flag pole for sew

There is trouble some where in

he was told.
Well I'll go up and see what's the
matter" was the lads reply. The Of
fetal he had questioned heard him,
but paid very little attention, think
ing 1t only a passing remark.
But the next thing the town knew
the soldier was mounting the pole
with the aid of the steeple jacks
ropes He climbed up and up and
finally reached the top. BY that time
a crowd OF passers by had gather to
watch the performance on the narrow
pole At the very top he united the
knotted ropes of the flag, and slid te
the ground after it.
Shortly after he landed the Stars
and Stripes we're refastened to the
rope and drawn again to the top OF the
pole.
The soldier was a steeple-jack be

at the Starr Piano factory and is now
in France with field hospital train.

The buildings are all built Of stone;
have not seen a frame building since

miles around, was also in a large ca
thedral. 1t was beautiful inside but
full of holes.
I'm an old cemetery I visited. l
found one stone dated 1871. l would
love to have my camera with me. I
could get some fine pictures. Our
camp is situated in a very pretty park.
There Is a river running through it
and we are allowed to fish when we
are off duty.
I'VE have been very lucky in the
two raids we have been through.
Fritz did not get anyone in either.

Regional railroad directors have been
cautioned against any action in labor
disputes which might appear arbi-
trary. said nircctor-G cneral McAdoo,
in statement issued tonight particu-
larly because railway labor men still
have n suspicion that executives while
working under government control arc
seeking TO dscrcdit Federal manage

structions given the sional directors
on many other subjects.
You should bear in mind" said
the instructions, that labor has the
very natural feeling that railroad man
ayers. although now working for She
government and on government ac-
count. necessarily continue the same
conception Of and attitude towards Ia :
