ALLIES REALIZE
UNITED STATES
IS NO STACKER
America to Take Equal
HOnors in This War,
Says Raymond Shaver

England and France have just be-
gun to get the idea that the United
States can really back UP its
declaration of war" writes Raymond
Shaver, former student Of Fargo COL
lege, to his mother, Mrs. Charles
Shaver, 1924 Ninth avenue south,
from England, under date of Jan. l.
Shaver enlisted last April and on
Christmas day was promoted to the
position of corporal.
Before we are through, the allies
will know that we can stand up for
our rights and will take equal honors
in the fraCas," adds Corporal Shaver.
'They got big start on us, but we
will surely make a great attempt to
catch up to them. All the boys are
beginning to get an idea and good
one, too, what America means to
them, since they have been away.
Our branch of the service is an i'm
portant one for the allies are await
ing for our fiiers and our aircraft,
so it is up to us to make good. Per-
haps my ambition to be a fiier will
be fulfilled after all.
Every American boy that is
around me is enjoying the best or
health and they are all fairly con-
tented. We have been treated royal
ly by everyone and though it Is rath-
er cold, we are warmly clothed and
have a far better place to stay than
we expected. The women in England
are as good to us as the women In
America, in the way Of meeting our
train and serving hot lunches and
drinks to the boys. Much to our
sorrow the trip had to be made at
night which did not give us chance
to see the country through which we
passed. At some of the stations we
saw Scotchmen with bare knees. Gee,
it made me shiver to look at them,
but they did not seem to mind the
gentle breezes at all. Although the
trip over the waters was pleasant
and interesting we did get tired OF
the ship.

ing guy-ropes, the camera man
continued to wind out the film. Sud
denly at the signal of the officers
whistle, the six large tents and the
adjoining small tents were raised
simultaneously into the air. A field
hospital stood where, but a short
half hour before, there had been
nothing but sand. BY systematic
efforts much had been accomplished
in a short time. .
A Little CamoufIags.
When the hospital had been made
ready to receive patients, ambulances
and litter men were sent out to bring
in the wounded. Many Of the fellows
were bandaged in readiness for that
part of the work, and were photo
graphed as they were brought in, or
as they walked in under the stress of
slight wounds.
1t was interesting, and 1t was
funny. Interesting, because it is a
work with which we are vitality con-
cerned. But we could not help but
smile when one Of the fellows walk
ed past with a large bandage on and
endeavored to register pain in front
Of the camera.
FIickertaiI Patients.
We, of the North Dakota company,
were patients, and so we were tag
ged by physicians and sent ~out into
the brush to await the coming of the
first aid men. The camera man fol-
lowed the litter bearers and as they
bandaged us we were photographed.
We were q hard looking lot. Some
Of us were bandaged on the limbs,
some had head bapdages and others
had yards of gauze wound round
their bodies. We were arranged in
the most realistic manner, and to
add to the pictures a horse was
thrown, and was supposed to APP
pear dead. And the horse played
his part very well indeed.
After the hospital scene was finish
ed, we were photographed while
marching over bridge. Farther on
we plunged through an excavation
which might correspond to a shell
hole. Undoubtedly sliding into a
shell hole will add little realism
to the rest of the picture.

our work with the gas masks.

Bar, HABITS.

Those who breakfast at eight
o'clock or later, at twelve and have
dinner at. six are almost certain to
be troubled with indigestion. They
do not allow time for one meal to
digest before taking another. Not
less than five hours should elapse
between meals. If you are troubled
with indigestion correct your habits
and take Chamberlain's Tablets, and
you may reasonably hope for a
quick recovery. These tablets
strengthen the stomach and enable
1t to perform its functions naturally.
