V. Etzler. promoted TO sergeant, and
Ralph Green TO top sergeant
4 letter received by the mother OF
one of the boys states that the entire
regiment has been gassed by the
Huns. Out OF the four, Frank HaSan
Jared the worst from the gas. He
could not resume his regular duties
for a week or more. and the gas
caused all OF his hair to fall out.
The roar OF the cannon and the
heavy vibrations OF the large artil-
lery do not keep Ralph Green from
sleeping, so he writes. At first sleep

others OF his regiment, but he has
become accustomed TO the big

of the Mystic Shrine, was unanimously
reelected. potentate last night. The
temple also adopted a resolution pro-
posing him for a position in the line
of officers of the Imperial Council,
which meets in indianapolis next
June. This action establishes a
precedent for the shrine, as it has
been the custom not to present for
election in the Imperial Council a
candidate. from a temple already
honored by the election of one of it's
members as imperial potentate. Har-
rison Dingman. past potentate and
recorder of Almas Temple, years ago
held that rank in the shrine.
Other officers elected were Henry
Lansburgh, high priest and prophet;
Harrison Dingman (re-elected), re-
corder; Frank Sebring (re-elected),
treasurer; Lieut.. Col. Louis c. Wilson,
chief rabban. and Sidney r. Jacobs,
assistant fabban.
The, temple also elected as its rep
resentatives to the Imperial Council
