Private in Pacific Coast Regiment Has
Remarkable Experience In
Monaco.

Somewhere In France.-Sitting or
real rulers throne was the unusual
experience of an American private sol
dier-William Williamson, member
of q Pacific coast engineer regiment
during his recent seven-day furlough.
The throne was that of the prince of
Monaco.
Williamson elected to spend his va
cation on the shores of the Mediter-
ranean. After visiting Marseilles,
Nice and other southern France re-
sorts, he went to Monte Carlo. Find
ing the gaming table denied to SOL
diers in uniform he went to view the
palace. Swiss guards at the gate re-
fused to allow him to enter. 3
z Later, at a cafe he got to talking
with a Monacoan who spoke good
English and proved to have an ac-
quaintance with millionaire American
yachtsmen. Williamson told him Of
his futile attempt to enter the palace.
The Monacoan offered to introduce
bin at the door and show him through
the palace. He had no trouble in get
ting In this time. Arriving at the
throne chamber the simple soldat
American" was almost overcomH
with the splendor Of the room. He
received another shock when his host
invited him to mount the throne. Aft
er he had become comfortably seated
luncheon was served.

with mess kit to get his share of ba-
con and hash, Williamson was prompt

FOR STATE HIGHWAY
MOSCOW TO .GENESEE

Land owners, farmers and business
men have started the work to secure a
state highway from Moscow to connect
with the Lewiston hill highway the other
side of Genesee. The road will be a
great improvement and of great value
to Moscow as well as the farmers along
the line 1t is estimated the preliminary
survey will cost $1,000 and this is being
raised by subscription. Every farmer
along the proposed highway has donated
from S. to $50. This money will be re-
funded if the road is built. The state
highways are built under the supervision
of the state, which pays one-third and
the remaining two-thirds is paid by a
bond issue on the district benefited
Elmer Paulson, Alfred S. Anderson and
z. L. Girard are the prime movers in
the work. They have raised neat sum
and will now call on Moscow business
men and automobile owners to help with
the remainder ]. S. Heckathorn is
assisting in the work in town.

BOY IS NOW MAKING GOOD
Seems to Be More Afraid Of Brother
Than of Germans and 1t Is Pre-
dicted He viii Make Good
Fighting Man.

Camp Wadsworth, Spartanburg, S
C.-Among the Maryland draft Mer
sent here some weeks ago was a char
from Baltimore who claimed exemp
ton from military service on the
ground that he was a conscientious 90
jectOr of war. His name will not bt
made public, for it has developed thai
he belongs to good family. He was
placed in the casual detachment for Oh
servation, and the machinery of the In
te1ligence department was put to work
to learn something as to his antece-
dents.
A few days later a tall, grim-look
ing man appeared in camp and asked
where the conscientious objector could
be found. He was directed to the
casual detachment, and there intro
duced himself to the commanding of
ficer as a brother of the soldier in
question and asked permission to have
a talk with him. The permission was
granted, and he went to his brothers
quarters. PaI$ of the conversation
was overheard, and those who heard
it say it was heated, although one
sided.
Brother Said Something.
"You yellow cur" exclaimed the
visiting brother eve are all ashamed
Of you at home, but you are going to
do mans part in this war. Mother
told me to come down here and make
you withdraw that fool conscientious
cbjector claim, and if you don't do it l
am going to beat you to death right
here in this camp. What possessed
you anyway" There was a good deal
more of the same kind.
At the end Of about an hour the
two brothers went before Major Coffin,
the personnel officer Major" said
the visitor "my brother wants to
withdraw the affidavit about being
conscientious objector. Can he do
it?"
SWELL" replied Major Coffin, ut
must be voluntary act on his part"
Ana, turning to the soldier, who had
made the claim, he asked: 'Do you
want to do this voluntarily. Is it Of
your own free will?"
The soldier moistened his lips and
glanced at his brother, and replied:
"Yes, sir, it is of my own free will,
and want to withdraw It,"
Is Now Making Good.
Major Coffin found the affidavit and
tore 1t up, and then issued an order
the soldier to an active
regiment, and the soldier left.
After he had gone the visitor turned
to Major Coffin and said: Major, I
thank you. I had determined there
would be no yellow ours in my family,
and If that boy hadn't withdrawn that
affidavit I would have beaten him up
right here. But I'm glad he did 1t Of
his own free will"
The soldier who thought he was a
objector has been max
ng good ever since the visit of his
brother. He seems, in fact, to be more
afraid of his brother than of the Ger
mans, and those who have been watch
ng him are of the opinion that he will
make as good fighting man as
my when the time comes to go over
he top.

CONTRIBUTION BOX


1t would seem that the present is the
proper time for careful, sanitary hand
ling of all kinds of food. A few days
since a Moscow woman went into a
store and called for one pound of ranch
butter. A clerk placed two-pound
roll of butter on the counter and then
shades of our grandmothers fished up
a knife from his trousers pocket, slash
ed the butter, then finished the JOB with
a piece of cord. The customer, know
ing that ignorance is sometimes bliss,
forebore asking what had been cut,
whitfield, pared, or Opened last with
that knife.
The writer of this article believes that
just now would be good time to start
a reform in these matters.

StUnS into telling MS experiences.
The questions asked Tommy by visi-
tors would make a clever joke book
to a military man.
Some kindly looking old lady will
stop at your bed and in sympathetic
voice address you: "You poor boy,
wounded by those terrible Germans.
You must ne suffering frightful pain.
A bullet. did you say? Well, tell me,
I have always wanted to know, did it
hurt worse going in or coming out?"
Tommy generally replies that he did
not stop to figure it out when he was
hit.
One very nice-looking, overenthusi-
astic young thing, stopped at my bed
and asked. What wounded you in the

to the next bed, first circulating, ooh!

me. | don't see q whole lot of differ
ence myself.
The American Women'S War hoSpi-
tai was heaven for wounded men.
They were allowed every privilege pos
sible conducive with the rules and mill
tary discipline. The only fault was
that the mems passes were restricted.
To get pass required an act of par
lament. Tommy tried many tricks 70
get out, but the commandant, an old
Boer war officer, was wise to them all,
and it took a Few and clever ruse to
make him afiix his signature to the
coveted slip Of paper.

staring him in the face, "Out of bounds

were looking the other way when one
of these night raids started. I hope
this information will get none of them
into trouble. but 1 cannot resist the
temptation to let the cOmmandant
know that occasionally we put it over
on him.
One afternoon I received note,
through our underground channel. from
my female visitor. asking me to attend
q party at her house that night. l
answered that she could expect me and
to meet me at a certain place on the
road well known by all patients, and
some visitors, as "over the wall" l
told her I would be On hand at seven

About SEVENTEEN I sneaked my
overcoat and cap out of the ward and
hid it in the bushes. Then l told the
nurse, a particular friend of mine, that
I was going for walk in the rose gar
den. She winked and I knew that ev-
erything was all right on her end.
Going out of the ward, slipped into
the bushes and made for the wall. 1t

At that time I wondered when the
bows in the trenches would see the
emblem of the "la2d of the free ana
the home of the brave" beside them,
doing it's bit in this great war of civi-
lization.
My wounds were very painful, ana
several times at night l would dream
that myriads of khaki-clothed figures
would pass my bed and each woulc
stop, bend over me, and whisper Ihe
best of luck, mate
Soaked with perspiration l would
awake with cry, and the night nurse
would come over and hold my hand.
This awakening got TO be habit with
me until that particular nurse was
transferred to another ward.
In three weeks time, owing to &c
careful treatment received, was able
to sit up and get my bearings. Our
ward contained seventy-6ve patients,
so per cent of which were surgical
cases. At the head of each bed hung
temperature chart and diagnosis
sheet. Across this sheet would be
written sc. S. W." or as. w." the for
mer meaning gun shot wound and the
latter shell wound. The IS. W. pre-
dominated, especially among the Royal
Field artillery and Royal engineers.
About forty different regiments were
REPRESENTED. and many arguments en-
sued as to the respective fighting abil-
ity Of each regiment. The rivalry was
wonderful. A Jock arguing with an
frishman, then a strong Cockney ac-
cent would butt in in favor of Lon
don regiment. Before long a Welsh
man, followed by member Of York
snire regiment, and, perhaps, Cana
dian intrude themselves and the argu-
ment wakes loud and furious. The
patients in the beds start bowling for
them to settle their dispute outside
and the ward is in an uproar. The
head sister comes along and with a
wave of the hand completely routs the
doughty warriors and again silence
reigns supreme.
Wednesday and Sunday of each week
were visiting days and were looked
forward to by the men, because they
meant parcels containing fruit, sweets
or fags. When a patient had regular
visitor, he was generally kept well
supplied with these delicacies. Great
jealousy is shown among the men as
to their visitors and many word wars
ensue after the visitors leave.
When a man is sent to GONZALES
cent home, he generally turns over his
steady visitor to the man in the next
bed.
Most visitors have autograph albums
and bore Tommy to death by asking
him to write the particulars of his
wounding in same. Several Tommies
try to duck this unpleasant Job by tell
ing the visitors that they cannot write,
but this never phases the owner of the
album; he or she, generally she, offers
to write it for them and Tommy is

From now on that doctor can have my

More than once some poor soldier
has been brought into the ward in 9
dying condition, resulting from loss OF
blood and exhaustion caused by his
long journey from the trenches. After
an examination the doctor announces
that the only thing that will save him
is a TRANSMISSION Of blood. Where is
the blood to come from? He does not
