Pullmans box cars and walked
about II miles with pack and grip
weighing about 70 pounds on my
back. Believe me | was pretty tired
when we arrived at our destination,
seven miles back of the first line
trenches. We are established at this
point as a base. and at present are
working in the commissary. Shells
explode all around US but not near
enough to frighten US. We hear the
old shells whistle at night and ex-
plode on the road leading to the
trenches.
Have seen lots of air fights be.
tween French and Germans. We
hear shells explode in the air and
run out to see the fun and it is gen.
orally pretty hot for the aviators.
This town where we are located is
completely ruined as it is situated
in a valley between to hills. The
Germans were located on one hill
and the French on another and the
town lay in between and of course
it had to take the shelling.
Have been through some of the
battle SCARED towns and they are
all some SCARED.
The Germans were in this town
last April and were only elected
after the spring drive. Have walk
ed around over the old battle
grounds and have been down in the
old dug outs where the men lived.
Some of the old holes are 30 feet
down in the ground. Old uncx-
ploded shells of varying dimensions
from 7" TO Is" are laying all about
fields and in the towns.
1t is dangerous to touch them and

about a month when we are to have

Our regiment is already up in the

EtGbISH CAPTAIN
BRINGS WAR STORY
Captain Schwab, Survivor
of Ypres Fight Describes
Experiences
TELLS ALL TO SAVE
WHILE WAR is ON

Captain schwab a British army Of
acer. last night recited FIRST hand 10
more than 100 members OF tho West
minister Club. OF the Hanover Church
some experiences on the western war
front. Captain Schwab, who is on
q furlough to this country, fought 10
the battles OF Ypres. and was later
with the English expeditionary forces
IN Egypt.
Captain schwab gave a brief resume
OF his experiences. and for more than
an hour kept his audience interested
as well as amused with the many In
cidents OF his various experiences.
His first unexpected journey from
London to Havre with his regiment and
the gradual transformation OF the regl-
ment into the fighting unit around
Ypres furnished much interesting ma
terial
The captain pointed out that even In
/ Germany there is little love between
the saxon and tho Bayarian or Prus'
sian. and that the Saxon is more hui
name in the treatment Of prisoners and
more fair as a fighter than Is the Ger
man. At one time. he said, there was
a real truce for a brief, period OF time
/ between the British and the Saxons or
one sector. II was about Christma'
OF 1915. Before leaving that sector Cap.
tain Schwab continued, the Saxons pu
out banner, notifying us that the,
would be substituted by Prussians
and that we shall not shoot until they
were gone.
Even the Turk. continued CaptaiI
schwab. Is more humane In hi
methods Of lighting. The Turks do no
attack hospitals, while the Prussian
disregard even those and attack then
mercilessly. He then gave "a brief re
sumo Of his experiences in the kgyptial
campaign, at which time he was sta
toned at Cairo and Alexandria am
closed his remarks by urging his audi
ence to help make the American peopl
realize that this is q real war, and ina
lt will take extraordinary eXertion Z
defeat the enemy.
He urged all TO help the various civi
associations that are aiding In the sue
b cessful conduct Of the war. and b
concluded by saying that the able
bodied man who sits quietly at HON
while the war is or Is not NJ TO he th
citizen OF any country.

Letters to the Editor

evidently determined to ignore ex-
Gov Goldsborough, Gen Lowndes,
and their friends. and show no dispo-
sition to bring about harmony and
unity Of action. They are evidently
acting on the assumption that while
they are in control, they intend 10 re-
main in control. and viii endeaver TO
ride rough-shod over all opposition.
Messrs. Weller and Jackson are act
ing upon the theory that the influence
OF the former Republican Governor
and General Lowndes has been great
Is exaggerated. and are preparing 10
run over them and flatten them out
with the political steam roller they
control Mr. Weller believes in steam
roller methods in party management,
and Mr. Jackson appears ready 10
back him up in all his schemes-two
OF which are. TO make Mr.. Jackson
Governor. and land Mr.. Weller in the
United States Senate as the successor
TO Senator John walter Smith.
Trouble seems to be brewing for
Congressman Zihlman in the 9th Dis
trict There is no little opposition 10
his denomination by the Republicans,
many OF whom do not like him per-
sonally. others do not think he sizes
up as a Congressman from the Sixth
District should while many others
think that a quarter of century is
long enough for Allegany county 10
have the Congressman, and that other
counties should have a chance. There
is also no little opposition to Mr.. Zihl-
man in his own county, and efforts
are being made at the present time
TO persuade State Senator Louis Ep-
pier CT Cumberland. to enter the pri-
maries against the present occupant
of the seat Washington county Re
publicans are also at work endeavOr-
ing 10 induce Mr. Alexander Arm
strong to become a candidate; and
Senator Speicher, of Garrett, is also
urged by many TO enter the fight. The
chances are that one of the gentle
men named will go in, and if such
should be the case the Sixth District
will see one of its old time strenuous
contests. for all the gentlemen named
are born fighters, and all have many
friends among the party workers.
1t is reported that Speaker Wooden
or Carroll County, who presided over
the last House of Delegates, can have
the Republican nomination in the Sec
ond District if he wants it. OF course
The Democratic nominee will be Mr.
Talbot, who now ranks as the father
of House of Representatives having
served longer than any other member.
Mr. Talbot has served his District
and State well for more than quar-
ter of century, and will probably re-
main there as long as he lives-and
may his days be prolonged to the
limit.
Senator Frank Duvall, while in Bal
timOre today. told your correspondent
that he expects to be candidate for
the Democratic nomination for Con-
gresham from the Fifth District. The
indications are that he will get the
nomination without a contest, and, as
he is an old and able campaigner and
a strenuous fighter, Mr. Mudd will
know that he has had a fight when
the election takes place.
