"Of course it's only a makeshift,
Tom," they explained, "but 1t will keep
you going while, and maybe we can

That "makeshift" feeding attachment
Is in use by Mr.. Arbuckle today, only
he has added q small funnel SO as to
make it easier to get the food into the
tube.
Arbuckle's home is on the Thomas
Brockman farm, in LYDIA township, Ma
con county, Missouri, and Mr.. Brock
man says he has never had more
capable workman. When dinner time
comes and the men gather about the
table, Arbuckle's food is brought to
him in bowls and cups, he gets out his
rubber tube and funnel and enjoys his
meal as we'll as the rest, and after din

American Forces on the Lorraine
Front, Sept. 17.-Aside from slightly
increasing artillery activity the day
has been largely devoted to patroling
by both sides.
The Germans seemingly are holding
the Hindenburg line, from which they
are sending out patrols, while the
americans and French encamped q

feel out the line by the same method.
German infantry has been observed

attack, but none so far has developed.
Near this point the enemy Is occupy

The German artillery fire is limited
chiefly to guns of the r. and 105-mil-
limeter caliber, but many of the shells
are "duds."
The Germans also are active in con-
structing machine gun nests at va
rious points of the line.

LETTER FROM HARRY DAMN
Camp Dix, N. j.,
Sept. Z, 1918
Askov American,
Askov, MINI.

Askov, MINI.
Gentlemen
First of all wish to inform
you that | have now changed my
address to Camp Dix, New Jer-
sey. And if you would, would
like very much to have you
change my paper to Camp Dix.
The Askov American is very in
teresting for a lonesome soldier
when he has got a little time to
himself and can sit down and
read a few minutes.
l must tell you a little about
our trip from Cody. We passed
thru thirteen states coming from
Cody to Camp Dix. We came
thru part of New Mexico and
southern part Of Texas along the
Mexican border, southern part
of Louisiana into New Orleans.
We stopped there about three
hours. Then from there into
Meridian, Miss. We stopped there
about one hour for breakfast.
From there into Birmingham,
Ala, stopped there about three
hours and paraded the streets;
from there to Chester, South
Carolina; from there to Raleigh,
North Carolina; from there to
Richmond, West Virginia; from
there to Washington, D. c.; from
there to Baltimore, Maryland;
from there to Philadelphia, Pa;
then to Wrightown, New Jersey,
or Camp Dix. Our route was
about 5000 miles.
We sure had wonderful trip.
| really don't think | would have
missed that trip for anything in
the world; we sure saw the
sights of our lives. 1t took just
seven days to get here but there
was not a single one of us that
got sick or were one bit tired
when we landed here in Dix.
We have very nice camp here
that is what | have seen of it,
cause we are kept busy drilling
eight hours a day and when we
get thru with that we are all
pretty tired and feel more like
resting than running around
sightseeing. We are working
harder here than we did any
time at Cody. Expect to be go
ing across before very long, 50
| guess that's why they are
working us so hard.
We are now living in barracks
and it makes a fellow feel more
like he has a home to live in
than them old tents at
Cody. We sure notice the
change of climate here; the air
was much lighter at Cody.
We are now stationed thirty
five miles from New York CITY
and about thirty miles from
Philadelphia, Pa, just about one
hours ride on the train from
either place. Every Saturday
noon till Monday at reveille &C
per cent of our company can get
pass to visit New York City O,
Philadelphia, Pa.
Well, l can't think of much
new to write now as think have
told you all about our trip anc
everything else. surely thank
the people and the Young PEG
pies Society for writing to me
as there is nothing that makes
a soldier feel better and make.

Possible effect Of the election or

In the minor parties. The strength
necessary to a majority is 21S.
viii Brina Out Voters
After running along so quietly that
many voters had almost overlooked
the fact that practically a new Con-
gress was to be elected. the cam
paign came to life with a bang when
President Wilson issued his famous
appeal for the return of a Democrat
ic congress. An angry, vehement
protest at once arose from the Re-
publican party--from voters OF the
rank and file as we'll as from the
great leaders. Charges and counter
charges, statements and re-state-
ments have come thick and fast.
Both parties claim that the PresI-
dents statement has benefited their
cause and leaders Of both are MAX
ing prediction claims of control Of
the new congress. A very definite
result Of the eleventh-hour wrangle
doubtless will be a Reratly increased
vote in all the states.

In Pennsylvania and Tennessee

Florida, Maryland, Mississippi,

FroneFman Saves Americans.
When the Americans after their
brilliant drive came up against Aude-
narde they found that the Germans
had blown UP all bridges except one
across q small branch OF the Scheldt
which encircles the western side Of
the city.
This remaining bridge was mined
and due to go up at any minute. A
Frenchman, who lived nearby, had
carefully observed the laying OF the
explosives and knew where the Ger
mans had concealed the electric wires
leading to 1t.
AS the Frenchman saw the Ameri-
cans approaching he raced to the
bridge and cut the wires. He then
waved the Americans to advance and
they surged across the bridge with a
mighty cheer.
