LETTER TELLS OF
LEE LEWIS BURIAL
PARENTS RECEIVE WORD FROM
"Y" WORKER WHO WAS
IN. ~. PRESENT.

A picture of the burial of seven
soldiers on the banks of the Marine
near Chateau Thierry, one of whom
was Captain Lee c. Lewis. son of Mr..
and Mrs. Fred w. Lewis of Brighton
Park, was published in the November
issue Of Association Men.
Mr.. Lewis at once wrote to the
publishers and asked them to try to
get for him copy of the original
photo. They promised to do so and
now comes the following letter from
Miss Hutchinson:
1923 w. 18th St., New York, NY,
December 10th, 1918.
My Dear Mr.. Lewis: Your letter
to Association Men was sent on to
me and / am glad to be able to send
you the picture. The one published
in the magazine Is not very clear, SO
thought you would prefer copy
of a much better view. l have had
it enlarged and am mailing it to you
today. My delay in writing to you

bury some boys who had died in the
night. We chose spot in the wheat
field across the road from the hospi-
tai which will be very easy to find.
The grave has row of young trees
at the head as is shown in the picture

pal service was used.

the spot. though do not remember

Marine is not straight, but twists and
bends, though the road is pretty
straight. 1t is south of the Marine
and east of Chateau Thierry. In the

in the depression that can be distin-
guished in the picture.

cross exactly over the boy whose

NEWS FROM over THERE"
Bond Purchasers Now Realize What
Their Aid Is Accomplishing.

The news from the Western Front
has been most cheering Of late, and
Liberty Loan workers may take into
themselves a need Of praise for their
share in it without taking one iota Of
the praise due to the boys in khaki at
the front who have so valiantly up
held the traditions Of American arms.
The people in the Eighth District, as
well as throughout the nation, who
have responded so whole eartedly to
the calls for funds, and have bought
so freely of the Governments securi-
ties, have supplied the boys over there
with the needed equipment, without
which their efforts would have been
in vain.
Now that victory is in sight, the re-
spouse to the new demands will be
met all the more cheerfully, and the
Fourth Loan, no matter what the
amount, will be quickly subscribed.

JUNK VALUE MORE
 THAN LIVES WORTH
IRepublican A, p, Leased WIre1


 TONOPAH, New, Nov 9-Because it is more valuable as junk than as railroad, that portion of the Las Vegas & Tonopah system" lying between Las Vegas and Beatty has been aban- doned and will be sold. The last train has thundered over its rails.
 That portion of the railroad extend ing between Beatty and Goldfield, a distance of 79 miles, will be operated by the Tonopah & Tidewater, the old F. M. (Borax) Smith line. The total mileage of the Las Vegas and Tono- pah railroad, extending from Las Vegas to Goldfield, is 197 miles.
 The Las Vegas & Tonopah was prof ected by "Borax' Smith and financed by Senator William A. Clark. Smith planned to operate the road in con- junction with the Salt Lake Route and tap the mining districts of Bullfrog, Rhyolite, Beatty, Greenwater, Goldfield and Tonopah, as well as to remove borax from Death Valley.
 Since the taking over of most of the railroads of the country by the gov ernment, the business of the Las Vegas & Tonopah has dWindled to almost nothing. All freight and passenger traffic was routed over to the Tonopat & Tidewater
 After having been operated for F years, the railroad as a physical prop erty, is worth more today than when the rails were laid. It is estimated that the rails are worth more than double their value when they were laid iu 1 1906. It is expected that part of rail 1 road which has been abandoned will bring good price.
