REGRETS j. S. HAS NOT
SETTLED U-B0AT SCORE
Soldier Formerly at American Uni
versity and on Tuscania
Writes to Friend Here.

A message of cheer and regret that
the boys have not yet had a chance to
settle old scores with Kaiser Bits"
undersea assassjns is contained in
letter sent by Private Harold E. Rob-
inson of the Goth Engineers, formerly
at Camp American University, who was
on the Tuscania, to friend here. Pri-
vate Robinson writes:
I'VE are here in q British army camp
with some Scotch troops. some of the
finest fellows in the world. We sure
are being treated fine and cannot say
too much for the boys over here.
II suppose by the time you receive
this the report that the transport Tus-
cania was summarized in the Irish sea
will have reached you. They got our
boat, but we are still on top. though for
some time things looked quite serious.
Il was on her for two hours after she
was torpedoed and had quite lot of
trouble getting lifeboats off. But 1
finally got aboard a torpedo destroyer,
with about 700 others, so 1 did not even
get wetting, though must say that
the two hours I was aboard the
Tuscania after she was hit gave me
time for lots of thought.
as possible. Just staying there, with
nothing to do but think. made one real
ize how sweet life really is.
of course, we lost all of our equip
ment, and most of us are wearing some
part of the British uniform. 1 sure
wish you could see US now, though we
are feeling the best ever
Il am enjoying myself much as I
ever could any place out of the U. S. A.
I am anxious now to get into it, as we
boys all feel as if we had a personal
grudge to settle with old Kaiser Bill,
and they all say, Let us at him
1T was some experience; something
TIL never forget, and a wonderful thing
that SO many Of US were saved.
I'VE are in some beautiful country
here. Some of the boys were picked up
by patrol boat and landed in a town,
where they were entertained for two
days. They certainly must have re-
ceived fine treatment as they say the
city was just turned over to them.
I'm the camps they do everything to
make you feel right. Believe me, there
will always be a warm spot in our
hearts for the people of the British
Isles. 1 will be able to tell you more
when l get back than 1 can write"

What the War Has Taught.

The experience of the war is that
no matter how excellent an officer may
be upon school-gained theory he is a
babe until he has gained actual eX
perience in the trenches. Further.
the rude school of the trenches de-
velops the natural leaders of men. The
Americans who have won commissions
in the Canadian or other branches of
the British armies. and who have now
been transferred to their own service.
are striking examples of the justice of
this theory. What they know they
have learned by the hardest of hard
knocks. They are in command because
they are essentially fitted to be in COM
mand-because they not only boss but
care for their men. They have them
selves gone through what their men
are going through now.
Our Army will throw the door more
widely open to the right man in the
ranks than any other Army on earth,
said the major. Then loyalty to his
former comrades made him amend
this.
Except the Canadian army" said
he. ut is commanded today by men
who began in the trenches

Later it developed that the ma or,

constant lookout must be kept upon
the men in the ranks for material
which is worthy of promotion.

MRS. MARTHA NEGAARD.

Another old pioneer, Mrs. Martha
Negaard, responded to the call Of
Death Saturday morning, January 49,,
at the ripe old age of ninety years.
She had been weak and feeble for
some time, still Death came unex-
pected as she was seated in rocking
chair. Her steps over the threshold
was to her like going into natural
sleep. Such ended the life Of a noble
woman, good neighbor, and a true
Christian, loved and respected by all.
She always had smile and CHEEKY
word for everyone. She was kind and
would rather stand loss than refuse
a favor asked in time of need. Her
memory will long live in this neigh
borhood.
Martha Negaard was born Nov. 16,
1928, in Stor-elv dalen, Norway, where
she grew to womanhood. In 1853 she
was married to Halvor Negaard of the
same place. The family emigrated to
America in 1870 and like other from
tier people, took up the struggles of
