From Italy to
Western Front
Duluth Boy Proves Daring in
1,400 Mile Journey With
Italian Combat Plane

In the midst Of the Picardy battle
when it was at it's height and in Pa
ris on March 81 when shell explod-
ed within 100 feet of him, were ex-
periences which w. H. Carpenter mar
rates in letter to his parents, Mr..
and Mrs. w. H. Carpenter, 1914
Minnesota Ave.
Lieutenant Carpenter was one OF
five aviators selected to take the
Italian combat machines from Italy
to France, a distance of 1,400 miles
and was on his way back to Italy
when his letter was written. He has
been in the aerial division OF h e
Italian army for seven months and
his letter is one Of few received in
Duluth from men who actually have
been on the Picardy battlefront.
In one portion of the account of
his thrilling experiences, he states
that 100 miles of the journey by air
from Italy to France was accomp-
lished in 81 minutes. That he should
have been selected to make the jour
ney with the combat machines known
as the IS. |. A." is a distinct honor
conferred upon an American Pilot
for bravery. -The Duluth New Trib-
une.
Mr.. and Mrs. w. H. Carpenter
and family resided in this city few
years ago. Mr.. Carpenter was presi-
dent of the Hudson Cold Storage
Co., which had a branch 0 fiji c e in
this city.

Ball boys journeyed to Ellsworth
and trimmed the FL. S. team at that
place by a score of 6 to 8. On Fri
day afternoon of this week, Els
worth comes here TO try and turn
the trick. Turn out and watch us
make it two victories for US.
The Junior High registers 100 per
cent. Special effort is being made
this week by students who are try
ing for Commissions as Captain or
Sergeant by securing a number of
pledges and it is expected that by
the end of the week everyone in the
High School and its neighborhood
will be War Saver.
On Friday afternoon the Senior
and Junior High schools had a pat
riotic rally. Mr.. Bird gave an ex-
cellent talk on Patriotism. Many
new patriotic yells and songs com
posed by the University of Wiscon-
sin were tried out by the student
body. Immediately after the patri.
otto meeting school was dismissed
to attend the program down town.

ening, May IA, at the Normal au-

being prepared. 1t is under the d.
rection Of Miss Tossing, Miss WiIlett
and Mrs. Fletcher.

At Camp Grant

The camp is busy receiving new
recruits, who have been arriving dali
ly since the latter part of last week.
The first to arrive in this shipment
from Wisconsin was bunch from
Wausau. They came about II p. M,
Friday and were quartered in the Co.
c barracks of the 341st Infantry, the
boys of the Co. C, sharing half of the
home of Pierce and st. Croix coun-
ties boys until after the quarantine
is lifted and the new men are assign
ed to other units. The Wausau boys
Immediately inquired for Sergeants
"Hep" Miller and Hank Schuette,
and Hep and Hank were right on the
job as reception committee.
Among the St. Croix and Pierce
county arrivals of three weeks ago
Art. Tomlinson of Hudson and "Pat"
Murphy of River Falls have already
been placed in charge of a number of
their comrades as acting non-com-
missioned officers. The non-coms
from various regiments throughout
the camp have been spending the past
week directing the drill work of those
who arrived three weeks ago, and
who have been stationed at the depot
brigade.
The artillery section leaves this
week for Sparta, Wis, for range work
making the 190-mile trip "afoot and
on horseback" They will be about
two weeks on the trip. The mem
bers of of No. Y. M. C. A. hut force
located in the artillery section, will
accompany the soldiers, taking with
them the stationery, books and other
paraphernalia of the hut. Gurdon
Whitaker, graduate of the River
Falls Normal school, is among the
Y. M. c. A. men on this expedition.
He has been in the work here since
last fall.
Don't forget your letters to the
boys in camp, especially to those who
are just starting in their army life.
Now is the time when their feeling
of inconsistencies is most acute, and
the letters from home do the most
toward cheering them up.

River Falls Liberty
Day Program

The Liberty Day program given
in the little park on Main Street
last Friday, was very generously at
tended by citizens who received the
very splendid program with enthu-
siasm. The occasion for the Liberty
Day program was the celebration of
our success with the Third Liberty
Loan. River Falls has the honor Of
very greatly over-subscribing S
quota.
The leading speakers on the pro-
gram were Professor Hayward Of
the Normal School faculty, DR.. C. A.
Dawson, Senator Skogmo, lis S
Rose Cheney, representing the Red
Cross, and Hon. Chris. Wiger who
made a report on the Third Liberty
Loan. Mr.. Hayward spoke with a
great deal of force upon the neces-
sity for the folks at home doing
their part of the war work. He
spoke particularly of the need of
loyal citizens using aggressive mea-
sures for the purpose of quelling
any disloyal sentiment among our
people. His remarks were very well
received.
DR.. Dawson related some Of his
experiences in the army canton
ments as medical officer. He spoke
with earnestness and feeling.
Senator Skogmo devoted the most
of his time in presenting the things
that Wisconsin has done in carrying
out the war program. He present
ed many interesting and no doubt
new facts to his auditors. Wiscon-
sin has been given a b a d m e
throughout the country, but Sena-
t or Skogmo's remarks tended to
show that things are not as bad as
they have been pointed. The Sena-
tors speech was very we'll received.
Miss Cheney's presentation of the
Red Cross work and its needs was
very appropriately given.
AS indicated above, Mr.. Wiger's
report showed a heavy over-sub-
scription of the Third Liberty Loan.

Vaudeville Program
A Great Success

The Vaudeville program given in
the Normal School Auditorium o n
Tuesday evening, April 30, was a
splendid success. Not only was
every seat filled, and therefore a
large sum of money, nearly 5000

Red Cross, but every feature Of the
program was artistically rendered.
The farce, who are Your" in which
the cast was MISS Margaret Kenyon

One of the most artistic features
of the program was the Floradora

properly describe this event. but in
any case it made very decided hit
with the audience. TWAS very clev-

1t is impossible, however, to pick

assured by Republican Leader Mann
that the Republicans, who are prac-
tically a tie with the Democrats,
would not seek to oppose Demo
cratic speaker, or the Democratic or
ganization of the House and would
permit Mr.. Kitchin, the Democratic
leade r, to succeed Speaker Clark
without opposition. That spirit has
been manifest since the outbreak of
the war and is an evidnece that par
will not be permitted
through favorable accident to affect
the conduct of the war.

FAVORABLE REPORT
MONDAY ON BILL
REGULATING RENTS

A favorable report will be made
Monday to the Senate Judiciary Com
mittee on the Poindexter bill, IN
tended to prevent profiteering In
rentals, by the subcommittee which
has had charge OF the measure. Sen
ator Hoke Smith is chairman OF the
subcommittee.
The details OF the measure, as It
will be revised. have not been en-
tirely settled. Differences OF opinion
exist within the subcommittee as to
whether IL should be limited to the
District OF Columbia or should apply
throughout the United States. II will
probably be shaped up so as to apply
not alone to the District but to the
vicinity OF military and naval reserva-
tions, ship yards, and all places where
war activities are carried on through
out the country.
Some uncertainty also exists about
the date to be fixed in the bill to
reckon the level OF prices beyond
which increases shall not be made.
The bill now provides that increases
shall not be made above the level OF
December /, 1917. Senator Poindexter
said today that he was in favor OF
changing this date to April g. 1917,
the date when the war began. He
thinks it likely that this date will be
settled upon by the subcommittee.
