GOT KAISER'S GOAT,
SCHAFHAUSER SAYS
Soldier in Ambulance Corps
Tells OF His Work
IN France
GERMAN PRISONERS
SICK OF FIGHTING

"We have got the Kaiser's Goat. so
don't worry" writes William n. Schaf-
hauser, formerly OF this city, now with
the Ambulance Corps in France 10 Mrs.
Charles Wolhar Of No. 1874 Pennsyl-
vanla avenue. The writer has been IN
France for some months and says he
had some remarkable experiences in
bringing back the wounded from Chat
eau-Thierry and also the Champagne
front.
Schafhauser was at a camp in Geor-
gia with Mrs. Wolhar's son, Charles
Wolhar. He states that he has lost
track OF all the boys from Wilmington
who went over the same time that he
did as they were all spllt-up on arrival
In France. He was assigned 10 an
ambulance company from Oklahoma and
has been with that outfit ever since.
He explains In his letter some Of the
dangers in going 10 the front after the
wounded, but says the officers insist on
getting the wounded back as soon as
possible. no difference how dangerous
the trip 10 get there. He says:
Everybody has a chance and we get
plenty 10 smoke and eat, a steel helmet
and a gas mask 10 protect us. have
seen plenty Of boys from most every
state in the Union. but none from
Delaware have looked for you son
Robert and hope 70 run across him II
he Is over here. We have the Kaiser
beat. The German prisoners we get are
sick OF Il and are not treated very well
they say in the German army. They
are not treated like we are, for we get
everything we want, including good
medical attention. The Y. VI. c. A. and
Red Cross are fine and the hospitals
are supplied with everything that Is
needed. While my job is dangerous
l am enjoying myself, and the fellows
in the corps are a fine set"
we have to take all kinds Of chances
in getting the wounded. ! Just came
back from Chateau-Thierry and was on
the Champagne front also. We have
even gone through woods under Ger
man machine gun fire after the wound
ed boys. on rofllcers believe in getting
them back no matter how the German
shells are falling. We lost one OF our
boys killed and one gassed"
At the conclusion OF his letter. Schap-
hauser says 1--WE have got the Kaiser's
goat, so don't worry

ALL WOMEN MAY
HAVE TO WORK NEXT

The increasing shortage Of man
power has led TO a suggestion that
there be a compulsory work bureau for
women. The induction Of men into
military service, and the transferring
OF men into vital war work, has left
many industries with vacancies which
must be filled by women. Although
there has been q generous response on
the part of the women, there are still
thOsuands Of women who are doing
neither housework nor other work, and
whose services are needed. 1t is no
