did not go thru Herington on the
way to New Jersey. 1t is reported
that several other Company H boys
did not GO Several Abilene boys are
no longer in the home company and
are still stationed at Camp Doniphan.
One of the first boys to step off

in Herington was "Pinkey" Cutler.
He is a fine looking soldier and has
gained much weight since he has been
at Doniphan. Abilene friends who
we're at Harrington say all the boys
were much improved in appearance.

 Paris, Oct. 25.---By mail)---Speak- ing of casualties, unless somebody hurries up and tens the Siamess troops fighting with the Allies a few things about the great American game of baseball, the little brown men are in danger of being entirely wiped out. It's shame they should be permitted to go on taking liberties with the Yank pastime and piling up casual ties, too, because they are nice boys and they look like good troops. They are snappy and smart and well dis ciplined, but they never will see the front if someone doesn't take them aside and explain that a baseball when it cDmes in contact with the human skull is to be classed as dangerous weapon.
 The trouble is that the soldiers from the land of the white elephant are trying to apply the same princi- pies to baseball that they use in their native game. Unfortunately for them the Siamese ball is made of wicker and is soft and light. A baseball is neither of these things, and if you don't believe it ask somebody who has stopped one of Walter Johnsons fast ones with his dome. He knows. That is, he knows what the doctors and nurses tell him about it when he comes to a few hours later.
 In the first place. it is necessary tc explain something about the Siamese game. Several men stand in circle to play this, and the object is to keeT the wicker sphere, about as big as g

They develop won derful skill in batting the pill around with assorted corners of their anat- omy, too, and sometimes the ball doesn't come in contact with terra firma for several minutes. Apparent | ly there are no points scored and the play is simply for exercise and to ex- hibit dexterity and cunning.
 When detachment of these Siam csc athletes arrived in a training camp in France. they immediately wanted to learn baseball. There is a foyer du soldat" in this camp just as there are foyers everywhere. There are American amusements in France wherever troops are, headquarters of the r. NJ. c. A, the Y. W, c. A, the National Catholic War Council (K. of O., the Jewish Welfare Board the American Library Association and the Salvation Army. The American athletic director attached to this foyer offered to teach the BanAok delega- ton the game and the diamond was duly laid out.
 First the director exlained the gen erai idea of baseball through the in. lterpreters, with which the Siamese are liberally provided. The Orientals lis
 tened attentively and soon told the American that they were ready fo
 the practical part. So a couple o

The Ameri- can instructor haetened to explain that 1t was not according to the Spal- ding guide to stick ones thought foun- dry in the path of the ball and they tried 1t again.
 Evidently the next batter thought the instructor, was complaining be- cause his predecessor hadn't driven the ball far enough with his roof, for he deliberately butted the first pitch as hard as he could. At this interest ing juncture the instructor halted the game and kindly but firmly insisted that he would have to confiscate the implements of war in the interests of safety unless the Siamese changed their tactics. He saw that all sorts of international tangles might develop if he permitted soldiers of an allied power to commit suicide. one by one. This time he told the interpreters slowly and distinctly that the ball was to be hit with the log of wood lcarT1ed by the batter ana no@ Wltn the features.

The third time he threw away the bat entirely, and butted the ball.
 And so 1t goes. They say it is the
 surest way, and as they are here to
 fight and die anyhow if need be, they
 do not worry about the heavy per
 centage of casualties. When one of
 them acquired a lump the size of an

 One of the most unique of these of ficers' quarters was located in the lit tie village of Euvezin, about 20 miles from Metz. There were two tiers o1

Everything was confusion. Uni forms, rifles, pots. dishes, books and all kinds of military paraphernalia were heaped about everywhere, indi- eating that the Germans had fled in great haste.
 That the Germans expected to oc- cupy this territory for long time is shown by the character of their trenches. In many cases, these were of concrete and equipped with almost as many conveniences as dwelling house. Some of them had running water, telephone communication, heating stoves and piped drainage.
