BEAUTIFUL FRENCH ALPS
Mason County Man Now In Rest Camp
Writes Interestingly Of His
Experiences.

Mrs. Alexander Hunter is in receipt
of the following very interesting let
ter from her son, Sergeant Thomas p.
Hunter, U. s. A., who is now in an
army rest camp at Ankles ains:
August 20, 1918.
Dear Mann"
Have been here since last Saturday
morning and so busy that l have not
had time to write. Something going
on every minute of the day and most
of the night.
This is Uncle Sans rest camp for
his boys and he sure is providing a
happy home for us. Everything is
paid here even the tips. 1t is the
greatest thing that has ever been done
and of course it takes the Americans
to do it.
Everybody is having a wonderful
time and glad to be able to serve such
a country.
We have fine meals, no bugle calls
to worry about, sleep all day and stay
up all night if we care to.
The famous Casino is now an Amer
lean Y. NJ C. A. am now in the
library and writing room. 1t is GER
tainly beautiful building. The gar
dens are wonderful, terraced with all
kinds of trees and flowers-very pref
ty.
l would certainly like to see it in
peace times. Must be wonderful
then. There are all kinds of trips up
The mountains. We are right in the
French Alps. Trips on the lake in
the Y. NJ. c. A. yatch So many diff
ferent things to do that, l suppose we
will never be able to do them all
rhe mountains themselves are mere
Hills compared to our Rockies, how
Yer they are very pretty,
We are to leave here on Sunday at
$50 p. IN. Going to stop off in Lyons
if possible as it is some city and we
ant miss such an opportunity as we

STATE HEALTH BOARD
ISSUES A PR0CLAMA-
ton ON Influenza
Board of Health FOTblds Public Fun
erals For Those Dying Of Influ-
enza. FOrbids Exhibits Of It'll
nerant Shows and urges
Good Care.

The State Board of Health of Ken
lucky yesterday issued the following
advisory proclamation on influenza:
Whereas, Influenza, highly infec-
tious disease. in a severe and fatal
form, is wide spread in the Atlantic
coast states, and, being caused only
by the easily recognized Pfieffer germ
which is spread along lines of travel,
and in communities and families, only
by coughing and sneezing people who
ought to be in bed or in their rooms,
has been brought to Kentucky and,
not being an officially quarantinable
disease, threatens to and is likely to
become widespread epidemic in
Kentucky unless the prompt and in
telligent cooperation of the people can
be secured in combating it, and
Whereas, The precautions here ad-
vised, important as to coughs and
colds, are made especially so in the
emergency now upon us for the pro-
lection at all times of our soldiers
with thousands being called to the
colors by the selective draft to reach
the camps within the next few weeks,
as well as for farmers, industrial OPP
eratives and the noble women daily
laboring for the support and comfort
of our own and the allied armies
and,
Whereas, The control of this dis
ease, if successful, must come from
an educated public sentiment which
will periodically demand the volun-
tary and systematic isolation in his
home or in a hospital during the pre-
valance of the disease in any commun-
ity, of every person who rs afflicted
with cough and sneeZing, and espe-
cially that such person shall not en-
ter or remain in any public convey
ance, picture shows, or other assem-
bly, until the disease is under control
and, that, therefore,
Be it resolved, That this Booard, in
the discharge of manifest public
duty and by virture of authority vest
ed in it by law, hereby urges that al
patriotic people who show symptoms
of this disease, promptly isolated
themselves in their homes, for the
protection of the public and in theil
rooms for the protection of their fam
lilies, and that a mask of two thick
nesses of gauze or cheese cloth be
worn over the mouth and nose where
for any reeson such isolation cannot
be made complete; it advises people
to keep away from all places of as
sembly in any community where the
disease is prevailing; and it hereb!
expressly forbids public funerals fol
those dead of the disease and forbid!
itinerant shows of every kind from
entering or making exhibits within
the limits of this Commonwealth.

 But now that great development companies from the United States are seeking concessions, the newspapers and public men are urging that the old question be brought up for final settlement.
 The Great Chaco is a vast area north of Argentina between the Pilco- mayo and Paraguay rivers. It iS claimed by both Bolivia and Pa.a quay, though both admit that theis claims are so large that they will havc

u. S. Machine Guns Wither Plans
of Germans To Ambush
American Patrol.
ENEMY QUITS QUICKLY
Workmanship Y; S. Soldiers Is Ao.
curate And Evidence Is Found
of Bullets Hitting
Mark.

With the American Army in France
Feb 21.-A sentry discovered Ger.
man patrol ready to ambush an Amer
lean patrol. He gave the alarm by
rifle shot and then the American ma
chine guns riddled the enemy.
The Germans fed, carrying their
casualties with them, but the ground
where they had been was later found
to be covered with telltale red
stains.
The sentry saw two Germans near
the parapet and moved to listening
post for better view He then chal-
lenged. A shot in his direction was
the reply. The sentry fired at the
enemy and heard a German shout as
the bullet probably hit the mark
Germans then appeared to grow out
OF the ground all around and started
throwing grenades in the direction of
the American trenches. Machine guns
and rifles went into action from an.
other section of the trench, sending
a hail of bullets into the enemy, who
retired on the run.
EXACT PafttaI HepaFatton.
There were no casualties among the
Americans. 1t was thought possible
that this was the same patrol which
set successful ambuscade last week.
Whether it was, the American forces
feel that they have at least eXacted
partial reparation.
The enemy also has been punished
for his killing of infantrymen in the
American trenches with shrapnel
The American artilley broke. many
shells over the heads of~a-4eFge Ger
man group in trench, scattering the
of them.
Gas shells in considerable numbers
We're sent against the American bat
teries at night, but no damage was
done. Neither were there any casual
ties.
There was great aerial activity on
the American sector and the anti
aircraft guns were fired continuously
One enemy plane, which was disguised
with Entente markings, few over one
OF the American trenches and fired a
stream of machine gun bullets into
it, but without any result. The enc
my aviator made his escape.
Ready for Enemy Drive.
Behind the Entente Allies lines in
France and Belgium the military lead
ers, with their armies ready, are ex-
pecting the Germans to launch their
much-talked-of offensive, but there
still is no outward sign of its near
approach. Artillery duels and raiding
operations and intensive aerial activ
ity continue to feature the fighting all
along the front.

Sig Coup for Junkers.
1t is realized, however, In diplo.

a treaty will serve to strengthen tire.
mendousiy the military parties in
Germany and Austria where they have
been seriously threatened by the So.
cialistic elements because of the In.
adequate peace arrangement they have
made with the Ukraine.
As the treaty must mean cessation
of Bolsheviki attacks upon the Uk.
raine, the German troops which were
to have been sent to the defense OF
Ukraine will be released for western
service. Otherwise it is not per.
-ceived by the officials here how the
compulsory signature of Russo-Ger
man treaty can have any further eff
feet upon the conduct of the war, as
the transfer of the German Eastern
army 20 the western front has been
fully anticipated by the Allied mill
tary commanders, who are confident
Of their ability to cope with the rein

ShipbuiIders at Duluth and Supe-
rior Not to Strike.
Strike Conference ait Superior Turned
Into Loyalty Rally and Work
Will Be Pushed.

Superior, Feb. 21.-The meeting
here to consider a strike was turned
into a loyalty meeting by 500 dele
gates from all shipbuilding unions Of
Duluth and Superior, including boiler
makers, carpenters and machinists.
They agreed to bring to an end all
petty quarrels and to work in the fu-
ture with the shipping board in fur
thering the shipbuilding program.
For some weeks past Superior and
Duluth shipbuilders have displayed
dissatisfaction regarding working con-
ditions and wages at the local ship
yards. This came to head with the
strike meeting.
Patriots Interrupt Radicals.
The meeting opened with an ad-
dress by radical factions claiming
rights of the working men were be-
ing overridden. This talk was inter
rupted by patriotic element, which
held the meeting until adjournment
No mention was made as to secur
ing correction for some of the chief
causes of complaint, though it is ex
pected these will be taken up by ar
bitration.
After the patriotic leaders had Sc
cured hearing it was quickly demon
stated that the labor organizations
were enthusiastically behind the gov

An informal resolution was passed
voicing the support Of the administra
