GUNNAR FENGER WRITES
FROM FORT SMELLING
Fort Smelling. Mimi,
April "a, 1918.

| WVuiu pC VI lIltcIcSl u You ana
others in Askov to know a little
about army life at Fort Smelling,
| should be pleased to comply in
an inferior way, and try to re-
late something that would be of
interest to you. Of course it
would be impossible to go thru
and tell everything that occurs
here; that would take up too
much space. If you want details
come out and visit with us when
you come to the Twin Cities;
you need not bring your lunch
either, cause | promise you, if
you partake in an army meal,
you will not leave hungry.
During the winter months we
had very little to do compared
with what we get now and what
is ahead of us. That was how
ever due to disagreeable and cold
weather. We received about
enough exercise to keep our
health and keep us out of the
hospital. Now that old mother
sun has raised her temperature
and also has changed her time,
we have to get busy and train
for that little spat across the
pond.
According to the new time we
arise at 6:15 a. m. Roll call and
breakfast follow quickly after,
and we are soon ready for the
mornings work. . 1t consists of
three drill periods. The first one
is principally one of calisthenics
and drills for disciplinary pur-
poses. We practise the squad
east and squad west. In the fol-
lowing period the whole compa-
ny together with all the other
companies train on the parade
ground to the tune of martial
music furnished by our excellent
band of forty pieces. The last
drill period before dinner is a
varied one. All non-commis-
stoned officers have school in
which they are drilled in the
theories of various methods of
warfare. Some of the boys have
signal drills so that they can
communicate with others far
away Others have shooting and
aiming drills, and the class that
| am attending are receiving in
structions in military map
sketching. We expect to be ar
lists before long. At twelve
o'clock the dinner whistle sounds
come and get it." If you can
imagine a tussel on football
field you have a good picture of
every one of us, all eager to get
there first to satisfy as quickly
as possible the good appetites
boys in the army have. To illus
trate this point | can tell you
that it costs about 80 to 40 dol
lars to feed the company every
day. and we eat something like
"a two pound loaves of bread at
each meal. Don't think that we
get bread alone for we get every
thing that goes with coarse,
but good substantial meal.
In the afternoons the exercises
are usually maneuvers that are
used on the front. On these we
carry our full packs. weighing
somewhere between 600 lbs,
ammunition belts and rifles.
Lucky are the boys who are on
the baseball team for they are
excused from these a few times
every weekly the way, sup
pose you have a team at Askov.
How would you like to bump up
against u.s. 1t is shame so
many miles separate us. This
closes our days work with this
exception that two days every
week we have battalion and regi-
mental parades after supper.
From what you now have read
you might possibly think that
there is no rest for the wicked.

TAKING VACATION IN STYLE
Energetic Worker for Uncle Sam
Rightly Believes "the Best is None
Too Good for Him."

New York is full of vacationists and
many of them are workmen who since
the war have climbed into the wealthy
class. They are here to enjoy the fruits
Of their labor. With their wives and
families they are sightseeing de luxe,
and they are not stopping at any ex-
pense to make their stay here
round of pleasure. Conspicuous amC
yesterdays arrivals at one Of our sy
Fifth avenue caravansaries are IA
and Mrs. Dennis Morgan of Seattle,
Wash, who are occupying a royal
suite. Mr.. Horgan wired ahead that
he wanted the best the hotel had and
he got it. During their stay at the
hotel Mr.. Morgan and his wife will
pound their ears in a $4,000 bed and
breathe the atmosphere Of the expen-
sive furnishings of the suite. Mr.. HOr-
gan is an able-bodied riveter, and is In
the big city to enjoy Well-earned va
cation far from the madding air ham
mer. ''For a working man who does
his bit these days" says the riveter,
''the best is none too good" Mr.. Hor-
gan said that he had been pulling down
q hundred or more iron men each week
with bonuses and overtime, and when
his wife said she wanted to see New
York he declared that "we'll see it in
style" So, what the-hotel bill-says

Passes Proposition for National
Prohibition Until End of
the War.
NO ROLL CALL TAKEN
Amendments to Defer and Advance
Effective Date and to Extend
Time for Operation Against
Wine and Beer Fail.

Washington, Aug. 30.-A consider
able step forward has been taken by
national prohibition in congress.
Without roll call the Senate passed
the compromise bone dry prohibition
amendment effective July l, 1919, and
continuing during the war and until
the American troops are brought home
and demobilized.
The compromise, an amendment by
Senator Sheppard Of Texas, pronlDl-
ton leader, to the 81, 100000 emer-
.gency agricultural appropriation bill,
is expected to remain in the meas
use under the harmony agreement OF
~'wet" and dry" factions, although
technically subject to another vote.
Efforts to materially change the
amendment were futile. Amendments
to advance and defer the effective
date and to extend the time for it's
operation against beer and wine were
overwhelmingly defeated without rec
ord roll calls.
Hard Fight to Save Wine.
That there was any agreement
among the leaders against having
record votes was denied by Senator
Sheppard and other advocates and also
opponents of prohibitory legislation.
The general understanding, it was de-
clared, extended only to support of
the com romise amendment and to
avoid obstructive debate or parliament
tary tactics.
Senator Phelan of California made a
vigorous fight for longer lease OF
life for the wine and beer industries.
He offered amendments making the
effective date for their prohibition
June 80, 1920, instead of year earlier,
as the amendment provides, and also
applying the later date to wines alone.
Both were rejected overwhelmingly
by viva voce vote. Another Phelan
amendment drowned in roars OF
noes would have extended the ef
fective date for wines six months
longer, or until December 81, 1919.
With wet" and ''dry" members
evidently observing their agreement to
unite on the Sheppard draft, the Sen
ate also voted down without roll call
an amendment by Senator Trammell
of Florida to move the effective date
ahead to January 1, 1919, as provided
in the bill before the compromise
agreement was reached.

PREPARING TO FIGHT
Poles and SIavs Are Modifying
Against Germany.
Results Alarming to Prussians Follow
Recognition of Czechs by
Britain.

Amsterdam, Aug. 30.-According to
a Vienna dispatch to the Weser lei
tung, as result of British recogni-
ton of the Czechs, something like
general mobilization is proceeding in
the Polish, Czech and Southern Slav
districts.
Hostilities between these people and
the government are expected soon. It
is believed British recognition made
possible the coordination of these ele-
ments
I'VE must reckon with an organiza-
ton comprising all the Southern Slav
districts" said the Weser Zeitung.
Serious things are being prepared in
Bohemia. 1t is significant that stimuli
taneously with British recognition the
Czech national council appealed to the
population that it was time they
should pass from words to deeds. The
meetings in Laibach can be interpret
ed as a manifestation of Slav COM
munity interests"

With the American Army in France,
Aug. 30.-The Americans accompanied
by full fleet of tanks and covered
by a heavy artillery barrage, swept
forward against the German lines,
which slowly and reluctantly fell back
over the Juvigny district.
The Americans held positions in the
fighting line in the scissors region
extending in northerly direction from
Chavigny.
All the skill of General Won Schwer-
in, commanding the Seventh Guard
division, is being exercised to hold
back the Americans at their point in
the line and save the Germans from
the menace they would face should
the Allies occupy the plateau extend
ing farther toward the east
Guns Fire Point Blank.
The German positions were shelled
most vigorously by heavy guns, NOR
tars and light pieces, firing almost
point blank as we'll as by long range
naval guns, which searched the posi-
lions far and near.
Up OfCI LuS p1cICOdO ChC 1AAoAeA
men went toward Juvignys and across
the little railroad running north and
south. The Germans Immediately be-
gan to employ the tactics of similar
retreats, leaving their rear defended
by line of machine guns hidden be-
hind every clump of brush, promon-
tory and woods. Only a few detach-
ments of infantry were left, the en-
envy again adopting measures planned
to save the most men possible.
From Couronne woods and another
little wood standing like sentinels be-
tween Juvigny and the American lines,
the German guns delivered deadly
cross fire. Juvigny is only village,
but located along the side of HILL it
offered a peculiar opportunity for de-
tense, until the advancing forces
moved into positions from which they
were able to make it untenable. The
resistance then stopped, the Germans
retiring farther east into more broken
ground.

you came to; this battlefield at a
crucial hour for the Allies.
Courage Not BIunted.
For almost four years the most
formidable army the world has yet
seen had pressed it's invasion Of
France and stood threatening it's CAPT
tai. At no time has that army been
more powerful and menacing than
when, on July Is, it struck again to
destroy in one great battle the brave
brutal will upon the world and civiliza-
ton.
Three days later in conjunction
with our Allies you counter attacked.
The Allied armies gained brilliant
victory that marks the turning point
of the war. You did more than to
give the Allies the support to which,
as a nation, our faith was pledg1 I'd.
You proved that our altruism, our pa
cific spirit and our sense of justice
have not blunted our virility or our
courage.
Unstinted Praise Won.
"You have shown that American
initiative and energy are as fit for
the tasks of war as for the pursuits of
peace You have justly won unstint-
ed praise from our Allies and the
eternal gratitude of our countrymen.
1--WE have paid for our success with
the lives of many of our brave COM
rades We shall cherish their memory
always and claim for our history and

and sacrifice.

London, Aug 30.-While it is neces-

pectations of a German collapse, it is
nevertheless true that the fighting of
the last month has given definite evil
dence Of a notable deterioration in
German morale. There also is proof
of increasing INSTRUMENTATION and dis
obedience to orders, which is very
significant in any event, bearing the
reputation Of the German machine.

OFFICER SHOOTS TEN MEN
Continual Defeat Causes German
Troops to Mutiny.

With the British Armies in France.
Aug. 30.-The defeats of the last two
days and the continual hammering
seem to have led almost to open mu-
tiny in some of the German forma-
tions. The 214th German division is
especially mentioned in this connec-
ton. One officer of this unit said his
men absolutely refused in body to
fight and he personally shot 10 for
their refusals. He added that even
that did no good, for, as the officer
said, "they were absolutely hopeless"
He, therefore, surrendered himself to
the British.
