FIERCE BRITISH COUNTER-ATTACKS
HOLD GERMAN HORDES IN CHECK
BUT HAIG'S ARMY is YET IN PERIL
SOLDIERS FAMILIES
SHOULD NOT MOVE
Home Service Section Receives
important Notice.

The Home Service Section of the
Martinsburg, Berkeley county, Red
Cross Chapter. has received from
the national headquarters at Wash
ington, d. c., the following informa.
ton concerning the migration of sol.
diers families, which we hereby
print for the information Of our com
munity. and for which we ask spec
ial consideration On the part of the
families of soldiers from the county.
Attention has been called by Ma
tional Headquarters to the serious
ness of the problem existing in GER
tain adjoining army camps, canton,
ments and naval stations, because of
the migration to these cities OF sol
diers' families in large numbers.
AL of these cities are experienc.
ing difficulties in properly housing
the newcomers, particularly where
they have come on with insufficient
funds, necessitating assistance while
there. as well to help in returning to
their homes.
The need of hospital care frequnt-
ly adds further disastrous complica.
tions.
The War and Navy Departments
have both made repeated appeals
through the men in service and
through the public press. to hayS
this migration stopped as far as pos
sible, not only for the sake of the
families, but also because it is detri
mental to the task Of holding the at
tention of the men in camp to the
important work Of rapid training.
The problem is increasingly mo.
mentous as the time for departure
Of troops draws near. Unless i'm
mediate measures are taken to have
them returned. hundreds Of families
will be left stranded in these camp
cities.
Just now we have in our posses
sion an appeal for funds from the
Home Service Section in one of
these camp cities, for the purpose of
returning Berkeley county family.
Acting on the request Of the Ma
tional Headquarters we therefore adj
wise the families of our soldiers to
remain in their homes right here,
for in so doing they will be help TO
make the task of the government
easier and will contribute greatly
toward the winning of the war.
The Home Service Section of the
Martinsburg, Berkeley county Chap.
ter of the American Red Cross stand
ready 10 render any assistance to
the families of our soldiers in any way
possible.

LIFE IN ITALY

Genoa, Italy,
September "a, 1918.
Dear Mr.. Lake.
As you have not heard anything
from me for some time | am going TO
surprise you by writing line or two.
| wish | could be in dear old Gun
nison again, but that is impossible for
a while at least.
This is a very beautiful place, but
give me the good, old U. S. A any
time.
As | am started, ! am going TO tell
you something of sailor, why people
look down on him and etc Now, while
you are reading this, just suppose you
are one of Uncle Sans boys in the
navy blue of the U. S. n. Picture
yourself just returning from a voyage
of two or three months, seeing no land,
just the deep blue sea. What is your
first thought? :? Well here it is: "When
get ashore, l am going to enjoy my
self, no matter where it is"
But, alas, when you do get that
shore leave and the respectable peo-
pie shun you, what are you going to
do! In a sea-coast town where a
sailor is often seen, some of the peo-
pie have funny idea in their heads
that sailor is not fit to associate
with dog. They think more of a
Stacker than they do of him. They
look upon him as trench dodger, but
look here, the man who can proudly
say: 81 am a regular of the United
States Navy" is the man who is risk
ing his life every day and night to
clear the seas of the Hun, and that
man is putting the Hun away fast.
We, the regulars, fight that way too.
We are ready to fight anywhere at
any time. l do not intend to run
down the army, but in the army in
battle if you are wounded you can be
picked up but with us in a sea battle
if your ship goes down you also 60
to sailors grave.
Now listen, people. Do not treat q
man Of the U. S. N. like dog, give
him smile and kind word to help
him along for he has the hardest Of
burdens to bear. Take him into your
home Che knows how to enjoy a home
for he has one far away show him
a good time and see for yourself
whether he is so bad as you think.

Camp Hospital 20,
A. p. o., 705
October l6, 1918.

Mr.. T. w. Gray,
Gunnison, Colo.
Dear Friend:-
Yes, indeed, it is a pleasure to
hear from someone at home. Your
letter received few days ago, the
one Of September 8. 1t is one Of three
letters ! have received since leaving
the U. S. With it l also got one from
the folks written in August, the first
word directly from home. About a
week ago ! received one of much ear
lier date than either of the others.
Mail seems to be very uncertain here.
have seen several of the boys from
home, but it has been purely by chance.
One former Gunnison boy belongs to
the unit stationed here. He has told
me that you have written to him. OF
course, you know who l mean. Thru
him have seen a few home papers
it takes about a month for one to get
here, but it all reads good just the
same. The outfit that Claude Clay,
Cedric Williams, and several other
of the Gunnison boys belong to was in
training here when l first came, SO l
got to see them too.
/ am afraid if were to tell YOU of
the things you mentioned, it would be
cut out. OF course, you followed the
papers the latter part of July, SO you
know pretty well what happened.
Possibly l may never see the front
again, but am glad to say l belonged
to one of the best divisions in France;
it has been said that we did what has
never been done before in the entire
history Of the war-met and defeated
two Of the Kaiser's best troops, the
Prussian Guards. Before. when they
were thrown into line, they always &C
complished their objective.
The Red Cross is q wonderful or
ganixation and is doing great things.
Yet it is like all such big things. There
is ample chance for deception to creep
in, and it does.
France is beautiful country, but
is surely behind the times in enter
prise, compared to the U. s. A. She
is seeing considerable prosperity now,
where before the Americans came, il
was all but destitute. The majority
of the boys are pretty good spenders,
and there are plenty of ways to get
rid Of your money. After the war is
over, the revenue she will get from the
sight-seers and tourists will be i'm
mense.
1t was fine the haying went on SO
well this summer. was of the opini-
on that help would be awfully scarce,
and consequently would be very late.
The weather here is a reminder of the
haying season at Gunnison.
It would be fine to get out and get
a deer. hope you will be successful
on your hunt. The boys are all on the
roundup now, suppose. often
wonder how the cattle market is go
ing.
/ really can't think that the boys
in Cecil's class will ever have to 60
to war, although it may not be over
as soon Is some suppose. don't sup
pose people are becoming very enthus-
ed over the political situation this fall.
Likely the war is Of too much interest.
The lights are not very good, SO
don't know how easy this will be to
make out. / am shout Ill right-most
~ rood as ! ever was, I guess.
hardly expect to be here much longer.
Hepe al are well In Gunnison, and
my best regards to N.
Yoars truly,
