defeat.
Letter From Dernberg.
One of the letters was from DR..
Bernhard Dernberg, the former head
propagandists in this country, who
among other things write how he was
advocating that "we take Roumania"
and who also made yelled reference
regarding submarine activities against
Holland and the Scandinavian coun-

Several letters we're from Capt. Boy
Ed. In one Of them Boy-Ed enclosed
the copy of letter from a certain
Herr Hossenfelden, who appears to

PATRIOTIC AND
JUBIlEI VICE

Sunday night at the A. G. church a
very pleasant patriotic service was
held. The church was well filled to
listen to the program and address

music and readings. David LOOMS
read a part of the presidents mes
sage to congress regarding peace and
American ideals. Verne Mcfarland
read an interesting article on A
League of Nations and Sergeant Roy
NJ. Henry, who has lately returned
from Camp Taylor, gave some Of his
experience in camp life. A large NUM-
Der of questions came from the aud
fence which Mr.. Henry answered in
his cheerful, good natured way.
The speaker of the evening was
Henry j. Bohn of Reedsburg, newly
elected district attorney. In a few
we'll chosen words he first told of the
superiority Of the American soldiers
in the recent struggle. The Ameri-
cans have that happy faculty of going
about unpleasant tasks and into dan
ger cheerfully. He referred to the
cheerful manner in which his brother
bid him goodbye to enlist in the serv-
ice and died in France a short time
ago. Again the Americans we're not
fighting out a grudge of twenty-five
years standing but were fighting for
a righteous cause.
In closing he reminded his hearers
that there is still call for service.
The president has gone to attend the
commencement EXERCISES COM
mencement of greater things for our
nation. We now have the greatest
intelligence and freedom of any ma
ton but there are signs Of a greater
future for us.

The Lingo of No Mans Land"
GAS HELMETS:

The Lingo of No Mans Land"
GAS HELMETS:
To combat the gas attacks intro
duced by the Germans. the British
first devised the PHI gas helmet. 1t
consists Of a hood OF cotton fabric,
double thickness, soaked in chem
icals. Glass goggles are fitted at the
level Of the eyes. The hood can be
adjusted in ten seconds time. the
loose lower edge being tucked un-
der the coat collar or shirt. The
air is drawn through the fabric and
the poisonous character of the gas
neutralized by the chemical In
which the cloth has been saturated.
Breath is eXhaled through a col
lapsed rubber tube mOuth-piece.
The box respiratOr is the newer
form of gas helmet. II consists of a
small hOOd-like mask with a nose
clamp and mouth piece. and it is
fitted also with goggles. Attached TO
the mouth piece is an elastic tube
connecting the helmet with the box
containing charcoal and other
chemicals which purify the poison
Gus air as it is breathed in. These
helmets also carry a tiny record
book attached in which notation is
made OF the number of hours
worn, the occasion, and whether on
drill or in active service. A soldier
carries both masks with him all
the time he is on active service,
| so that if one is injured by she'll
! fire or is otherwise useless. he still
has the other ready for service. The
orders in regard TO this item Of the
equipment are so strict that a sol
der caught without his masks on
duty, may be courtmartialed and
| heavily punished.
