Hundreds of people were present
lin Carthage Sunday to witness the
drill work OF the Eighth regiment OF
the state reserve militia, which held
Its regimental drill at the Hancock
county far grounds Sunday. Many OF
the boys of the various companies
who came to the city Saturday even
ing, camped at the fair grounds Sat
urday night, and while disturbed by
the slight shower which visited the
city Saturday during the night, the
rainfall was not great enough to make
the grounds muddy or cause the
, bows any discomfort. Many members
of companies arrived in the city at
1880 a. M, by special train, and
marched directly to the grounds,
where the whole regiment was served
with mess during the day, each COM
pany having its mess tent and COOK
in charge.
The work done by the men, under
the dictatorship of competent of1cers,
was high class, and was the hrst
demonstration of the kind ever wit
messed by many of our citizens,
where 1000 men appeared in uniform.
The day was spent just like day
| in any U. S. army camp, featuring
guard mount, company drill, mess
services by Chaplain Long of Camp
Dodge, battalion drill, regimental
drill, lowering of colors and dress
parade.
The race track was lined with auto
mobiles which came from all parts OF
the surrounding country, and the
members of the various companies IN
charge of pedestrians and vehicles,
were SO arranged and attended their
duties SO faithfully that not a single
accident married the day, with the ex-
ception of one Of the boys OF the
company, who became overheated
during the latter part of the meet
and was carried from the grounds oy
companions, where first aid was rem
dered.
Colonel J. Erie Caldwell OF Quincy.
was in charge and the captains OF the
various teams followed out the in
structions to the letter, making the
work very pretty and interesting.
The Warsaw regimental band was
present, and furnished martial music
during the day, they being stationed
t in the new band stand In the grand
stand, the greater portion of the time,
but a part Of the time being in the
field with companies during the drill.
The Eighth regiment is composed OF
the following companies:
A of Carthage, Of Hamilton, c OF
Warsaw, D of Basco, of Quincy, F
of Augusta, G of Plymouth, Fl of
Bowen. / of Clayton, X of Mt. Ster-
ling. l. of Versailles, M of LaHarpe,
and what is intended to be the ma
chine gun company of Griggsville.
Mr.. and Mrs. w. G. Rowland and
son of Bowen, were visitors to the
city over Sunday with the lady's par
ents Mr.. and Mrs. w. o. Sharp.
George Hearne, who is located at
the Great Lakes training station, in
the hospital corps of the navy, spent
Saturday and Sunday with home
| folks.
Byron Booz, who has been in Chi
cago for the past two years, has en-
listed in the navy as fireman, and is
spending few days with home folks,
Mr.. and Mrs. Will Booz. He expects
TO be called within ten days.

WITH THE AMERICAN AIRMEN
IN FRANCE, July 10-(By Mail)-"A
sausage strafing party Is about as
much fun as real Hun fight among q
bunch OF aviators. Our last one was a
decided success. We followed the plan
of soaring Heinie to DEATH" said
Eddie Rickenbacker, all-American ace
and erstwhile auto racer.
"This was an organized strafing par.
ty, and was extra on our bill along the
front We did it voluntarily, and for
the fun Of 1t. 1t wasn't exactly work.
I'VE organized the strafing party in
to two groups. One started out early,
and got a high altitude by flying back
and forth twenty minutes or more. be-
fore the second group started. That
first group was the strafing party.
"Then the second went up, and
crossed the lines at a low altitude. The
Germans were evidently surprised.
Their establishment turned into
amazement when the low flying
group of Americans began doing
stunts right over the German guns,
lops. side-slips and all safe stunts.
st was as big an insult as the Ger
man mind could stand, and they
turned loose with vengeance Black
puffs were all around us, but we kept
on with motors at full speed, diving
looping. turning and making them still
madden.
Meantime the group which went up
first crossed the lines at high alti-
tude with motors off, gliding along.
They we're unnoticed on account of the
racket OF the motors Of the stunt
group and succeeded In getting posi-
tons above half dozen ballonns be-
for Heinie was the wiser.
Then they dived. each man straight
for balloon, shooting as he came, the
guns being loaded with incendiaries.
"Out of every sausage there came
an observer hanging on parachute
and the machine on the ground fran
tically hauled in the Boche sausages.
The whole flock of American planes
sped across the lines, having cleaned
the sector of German balloons with
one general dive.
"Heinie won't forget that little sur.
prise party for while. 1t wasn't as

RUE the German arches are more to
scare you than to bring you down. It
IS the shots from an opponent that
are most dangerous.
| :, we nave become used to having

usually isn't scared by puffs around
MN or the explosions, though ma
chlne gun bullets from German
plqulng on you are no Joke.

VINO is the most punished of us all, He
never fails to draw fire, for some rea-

slght and can't see the Boches in time.
AS a result they're always piquins on
him.
one day he came down with sew
en- bullet holes in his fuselage and an
olher through his boot. Another
n1cked his rudder controls When he
| landed, he jumped out of his plane,
ana hopped around like a chicken to
! see what damage was done to his
plane, thinking nothing about him
self.
Just then an alert came in. He

| shouted:
Let me at 'em: I'll get them, the
sons of Boches.. Then he was off in
minute and drove the Germans home,
out not until he had some more Ger.
man bullets planted in his machine.
1T takes courage of special sort
to stand the arches and the bullets.
Captain Norman Hail. who is now a
prisoner in Germany, was an ideal av-
iator in this respect AS the boys say,
he wasn't scared OF hell
He was an idealist through and
through and was wounded seriously
one time while flying at the British
front he concluded that he owed his
life to the fact that the bullet was not
incendiary.
After that he refused to use incen-
diary bullets. He said he never wanted
to land Boche if he could not do 1t
fairly. One of his favorite games was
doing stunts to make the arches shoot
at him. He maintained it wasted am
munition, since it takes thousands of
shots to hit a Plane"
