2OOA. En- ETSAT
e. CAMP HUMPHREYS

CAMP HUMPHREYS. Va, Sept. .
Two hundred battle-scarred veterans,
many of them just recovered from
wounds. have arrived at Humphreys
to speed up the training OF the fight
ing engineer units here.
These men, $50 OF whom are COM
missioned and the rest high-ranking
non-coms, have already been assigned
to commands at this camp, each regi-
ment drawing 4 large quota.
All of them were members of the
American expeditionary force, and
come to Humphreys direct from the
western front. Nearly all of the men
wear two gold stripes. indicating a
year of service in France. Many
have been wounded and bear the
wound stripes in recognition OF their
sacrsfces for America.
The forty-tHO non-commissioned
Officers are attached to the Sixth
Regiment, the n. c. o. School Regi-
ment, for quarters and rations. They
will all in turn be granted furIoughs
of varying length to visit their
homes, and then will return to
Humphreys as instructors for the
Sixth Regiment
Tell Of Fighting.
They bring back to the mess halls
end barracks of Humphreys vivid
descriptions OF the scenes on the bat
tle-swept fields OF France. Some OF
them were in the midst of the second
battle OF the Marine. Their regiments
were in the fight steadily from July Is
to July 25, and drove the Germans
hack a little over twelve miles, at
which stage OF the game other en-
gineer divisions and engineer troops
came in and took their places and
kept the Germans moving in the gen.
eral direction of Berlin, while the
troops that were relieved followed,
ready to jump in again when the
other outfits got tired.
Night and day they fought. at one
moment corduroying the muddy roads
which led through the woods, and
the next grabbing their rifles to beat
on AN enemy counter attack.
Practically all of the territory over
which the engineers fought at the
second battle of the Marine has been
ruined by shell-craters and trenches. |
For days after the lighting the coun- |
trysthereabouts was strewn with dead /
and mangled bodies and bodies of |
equipment OF every kind. The beau
tiful landscape and forests have been |
swept by artillery and machine gun |
fire until nothing is left but stumps |
and wreckage, grain fields trampled |
intQ dust, the earth pitted with huge |
sheil holes, some forty feet across
ana twenty feet deep.
Dead Not Buried.
Often the dead are not buried for
several days. When the engineers
were not busy on road work as in
tan3ry, they were kept busy buryIng |
the. dead men and animals One bat
taliOn buried thirty horsesS of which
nine lay within seventy-five yards of
eech other. None of these men who
haye been through this hell will be
sorry when the war is over. but they
have the spirit of true soldiers and |
have no desire to remain in this coun-
trN even temporarily. until it is all |
over and Germany well licked.
Engineer units, and in fact, the |
whole army, needs more troops. They
haTe been hoping to be able to push |
the Germans over the Rhine this win |
teE but are afraid they won't have
enough men to do that until spring.

MARIANNE AvIATORS MEET
BY ACCIDENT IN FRANCE

ID. P. Hilton has received a letter
from his friend, Angus Mahan, writ
ten from Paris, France, stating that
he and Everett Cook, also in the
aviation branch of the service, met
by accident in cafe in Paris on
the night of December 10. Both
these young men were stationed in

During the past summer they enlist
ed in the aviation corps and in late
November were sent to France from
different ports in the United States.
Mr.. Mahan arrived in Paris on De-
cember Is and Mr.. Cook on Decem-
Der 10. Neither knew the other was
in France. On the night of Decem-
Der 10 Mr.. Mahan went to cafe to
get supper. While he was seated at
a table his friend Cook entered.
Needless to say the two young abba
tors had a most pleasant evening

This country had as well wake
mp to the fact that Russia is definite
" out of the running. The blow is
Z staggering one to the allies, but
should not be the cause of despair,
or even of undue pessimism. While
her detection gives the German arms
much needed relief. yet this country
is ready now to step into the breach
she has left. And unless all signs
fail we shall be occupying that place
by the time spring opens. Then
again, with the acquisition of Russia
Germany will probably acquire more
of a liability than an asset. That
country will be in the throes of civil
war for years to come. and will not
cease to be a menace to the Germans.
Armies must be maintained to watch
her closely. or even to interfere in
her internal troubles. Viewed in the
light of common sense, it would APP
pear that the allies have lost a
freacherous ally and gained one of
proven loyalty. 1t undoubtedly will
require a greater effort and longer
time to gain the victory than would
have been the case had Russia re-
manned true, but we will win. This
country has soul and body in to
win and she has yet to taste defeat.

DOGS OR SHEEP, WHICH?

There is a saying in this country
and it has grown into an adage,
that the legislator who desires to
commit political suicide has only to
introduce and father dog law, and
the people will attend to the obse-
quies.
Yet the one thing which the vari-
GUS states stand urgently in need Is
lust such legislative timber-men
who are willing to forego political
preferment, if by so doing they can
confer a great boon upon the coun-
try.
We are told that by the time an
other clip is made wool will be
worth two dollars per pound. This
in a country than which there is no
better in the world for sheep raising.
What must be the amazement OF
the peoples of other countries when
they are told that the only reason
Americans are not sheep raisers is
because of the dog-that the aver.
age citizen prefers his dog to his
sheep, and II he must be without
either one the sheep must go.
Statistics tell us that this country
today is maintaining 25,000,000 dogs
an average of one to every family in
the land. Placing the cost mafnte.
nance at conservative figure, these
brutes will consume as much as halt
their number 70 human beings, say
ing nothing of their depredations
This is equivalent to feeding twelve
and one-half million people or more
than it will cost us to feed every
soldier we will ever send to France
But the mere feeding of this Eorde
Of useless animals is by no means
the big item. The great expense lies
in the great menace which they con
stitute to the sheep raising industry
We would not be so unjust to the
CANNES as to allege that al are
addicted to sheep killing, or ever
would be if there were sheep avail
able to be killed. But the uncertain
ty as to the guilty individuals brings
the whole race under suspicion
However, this country is now pay

SO long as wool was cheap ant
