had advanced almost a half mile into
the German lines when we encounter
ed machine gun resistance and we
were advancing to take them when l
received my wound. A Red Cross
man was right by me when it hap
pened, and he dressed me up quickly
then some German prisoners, who
were coming in fast, carried me over
to the Field Hospital.
Mother, | am going to be a little
more frank with you than usual in
what have been doing over here.
First think you should feel proud to
know that have been up against
the "Heinies" on many occasions, and
TO have did my bit each time, then be
so lucky as to draw a slight wound.
You "of course" remember what
told you while at home about my re-
turning from the service. Well its
true. for victory will be ours in less
than a month. have lots to tell you
when return as have seen lots and
know quite a great deal about the
war game, from actual experience.
My division has been cited on four
occasions for its besting the Heinies.
For it was my outfit which received
credit from the French government
for stopping the Germans at Chateau
rhierry in June, thus saving Paris.
This was one of the hardest fights
staged during the whole war-known
as the End Battle Of the Marine.
However. the French called it the
Battle for Paris, adding of course
compliment to US. Will give you

BURN FRENCH HOMES
Towns Wantonly Destroyed and
Water Supply Defiled.
Huns Caught Red Handed in Crime
Far From Line Of

from General Gouraud's army In eX-
plorng the region from which the
Germans have been driven In this sec
Tor have discovered in many villages
evidence of the method by which the
destruction of dwellings, churches and
other public buildings was organized.
The region along the Retourne
abounds with indications of willful de-
vastation of villages that were never
within range of artillery. but were
found RACED. In others where houses
were still erect they were mined for
slow destruction, while the purely
military installations. such as barracks
built by the Germans for their own
troops. were left intact.
Orders for the burning of Junville.
a large village in the Valley of the
Retourne, arrived on the day of evacu-
alton. The people pleaded with the Of
ficers to spare their homes, but the
torch was put to every house. The
village was one vast braZier when the
French entered IL. Mont ST. Remy
shared the same fate.
At Melville. where villager i'm
plored that his home might be spared,
an officer replied:
81 know IT is an ignoble task. but
such are our orders"
Chatelet, Alincourt, Bignicourt and
VilleSurRetourne were partly saved
because the French troops pressed the
Germans there so closely that the sap
pers left behind to do the work were
surprised. Some of these men fed be-
fore they could set off the mines which
had been prepared. Others were cap
tured.
II has been necessary from French
sappers and miners to explore the cell
lar of every house remaining intact in
this region. Under most of them
mines have been found. Mouths of
wells were so mined that explosions
would fill them with rock and earth.

the st. Louis fuel administration. If
the householder does not know how to
care for his furnace, he is expected
10 learn how and to get the most pos

The announcements point out the
necessity of keeping the furnaces
clean and in good repair in order to

URGED TO STOP
WASTE OF PAPER
War Industries Board Asks Mer-
chants to Cut Down on
Wrapping Paper.
PULP NEEDED FOR MUNITIONS
People Asked to Use Market Baskets
--curtailment in Use of Tissue,
Paper Bags, Boxes and
Stationery Asked.

Washington.-Ber NJ Beruch,
chairman of the war industries board,
has issued an order affecting every re-
tail store throughout the United
States All merchants are directed to
reduce their consumption of wrapping
paper, bags. paper boxes. stationery,
etc, to what is absolutely necessary.
The necessity for this order became
apparent when it was realized that
the government would soon be obliged
to divert to the ammunition manufac-
turers large quantity of chemical
pulp formerly used in making wrap
ping, tissue, book and other strong pa
pers. The increasing production of
ammunition and the short cotton crop
make this necessary.
Ask Public to Cooperate.
The cooperation of the public in
complying with this ruling can be
counted upon, if they are properly in
formed that it is necessary as a war
measure. To secure this cooperation
merchants should place placards in
their windows calling attention to the
order of the war industries board.
Gummed labels bearing the slogan.
Don't Waste Paper" should be used
on all packages and attention should
be directed to the government order in
newspaper advertising.
In addition to the discontinuance of
unnecessary wrapping, consumption of
ha hNr tho
following methods:
Do not use more paper than neces-
sary to wrap merchandise.
Do not use heavier paper than nee
essary. Consult your paper dealer as
to the most serviceable and economical
grade.
Use the old paper taken from par
GELS delivered to you.
Use newspapers when possible.
Other Savings Possible.
The consumption of tissue paper can
he reduced by eliminating as far as
possible the use of tissue paper for
packing
Consumption of paper boxes can be
reduced by eliminating Christmas
boxes for holiday gifts and for candy,
by using lighter weight boxes and
using old boxes over again.
A considerable saving in paper bags
can be effected by using the smallest
size bag possible and encouraging Gus
toners to use a market basket for
vegetables.
Consumption of Office stationery can
be reduced by the following methods:
Use lighter weight paper and small
er size envelopes.
Write on both sides of the paper for
long letters.
Use one-half and three-quarter
sheets of correspondence paper for
short letters.
Use the backs of letters for carbons.
Make use of spoiled sheets and
backs of envelopes for scratch pads.
