sure entertain us with their
stories of the war, some hav
ing been in since 1914, and
we having seen quite a bit
ourselves. Not long ago
there was a little drive made
in this section. / was up in
the early morning hours that
night and watched the bar'
rage, which lasted for about
an honr. It was terrific; all
along the line there was one
continuous flash made by
the artillery, and Of course
all the other lights and sig-
nails that go with it. 1t sure
ly is a sight worth coming a
long way to see. That day
we went over to one Of the
dressing stations close by
and helped them care for the
wounded. Most of them were
Huns-some were bayonet-
ed, some had been hit with
shrapnel, grenades or bull
let's; some got all of them L
guess, for they were shatter-
ed pretty bad; and still some
others had been gassed. We
gave them water and smokes
They get the same treatment
our soldiers get, only ours
are treated first. We had
quite a time interviewing
them, they had some great
news; they must be kept in
ignorance Of the state Of aft
airs in the war. 1t was pit
iiful, one couldn't help but
feel sorry for them; some
were mere boys, Zoo. Over
1000 prisoners were taken
and they all seemed glad ov-
ier it too. The infantrymen
here all say that now when
you get close enough to
Fritz to stick him he throws
up his hands and yells Exam
erad";; sometimes they dom t
hear him.
Nearly every nice daythere
are a couple of air battles to
watch. | seen one Jerry go
down IN flames and Others
forced to land. Jerry doesn' t
get through our lines very
often in the day time, but at
night he comes over and
drops a few bombs here and
there. But our fliers play
that game too and l bet for
every bomb he drops, we
drop ten or more. One day
while out working a daring
Hun flew right over us and
only about 5 or 6OO.feet up.
We heard him coming as he
had just got through setting
fire to one of our observa-
ton balloons and all the an
ti-aircraft guns and machine
guns around were popping
at him, so we ran for our RI
| f1es and let him have a clip
full, but he passed through
all oft until further down
the line, where he was brot
down, which was a good
thing forI believe he saw
too much.* Your cousin,

been necessary that they have as q
second nature in case the war be-

have continued for some time more

army camp for training and II means
that labor problems will be n6sworse

The decision on the part of Presi-

was reached after the signing of the
armistice terms by Germany and
came too late to stop the filing Of

Moreover America is putting her mill

is hound to consider that when Eu-

Christendom has been cast into the

to pay interest on the loans we have

At the meeting of the board of
trade Monday night, nineteen mem
bers were present. The tone Of the
meeting was at first decidedly pessi-
mistic, but after awhile the members
warmed up to the occasion and be-
came more cheerful. 1t was deter
mined to carry on the work of the
board, and MID. S. Welch was elect,
ed president, to succeed Mr.. w. T..
Gary, who has filed the Office for the
last year. Both Mr.. Gary and Mr..
WEIGH are very busy men, but it is
noticeable that busy men are the only
ones who have time to do much work
for the public good. Mr.. r. Z. Martin
was elected temporary secretary. Mr.

board of governors, and try to keep
the work going The gathering adj
journed in q more optimistic frame Of
mind. The Star is glad that the board
viii not disband. Every interest in
town would suffer If it did. It is not
possible for it TO work on the scale it
did few years ago, but it can at
least operate on a war footing and
attend to great many matters that
could not be managed without it.
