ANOTHER PROOF.

With the American Army in
France, Sept. Grim faced, be-
grimed and stained after several days
of desperate, continuous battle, a
platoon of Marines was firing rapidly
but calmly and accurately at the Hun
ranks.
The foes numbers were In the ma
jority, but the Sea Soldiers fire was
proving speedily evening.
Suddenly the Huns dropped their
rifles and cried 'Kamerad.
The Marines waited for the sur
rendering enemy to approach. When
the foe came within 200 yards of
their first lines they dropped. They
had been dragging machine guns by
ropes attached to their belts.
About thirty Marines fell before
their comrades with a yell of rage
and revenge surged forward. The
bayonet let not Hun survive.
This is another example of Tetuon
treachery. 1t is told by an officer
and two members of the platoon now
in a hospital.

The department displays an un-
usual degree of public spirit in an
nouncing that the car will be used
mainly to increase the efficiency of
the fire fighting equipment and it is
their intention to always have it avail
able for this purpose. 1t is Chief
Evans plan to leave the station two
or three minutes after the departure
of the truck and take those volun-
teers who report to the scene of the
fire. Thus in case of a large confa-
grafton there will be no delay in Sc
curing the fire-fghters needed. In
case the fire truck is not in working
order the auto will be used to pull the

NEW CAR FOR THE FIRE
COMPANY

The members of the Morgan City
Fire Company are justly proud of a
brand new Allen motor car received
yesterday. 1t is a 1918 model, with
all the latest accessories and beauty.
Chief Joe Evans took party of three
out for trial spin this morning and
they individually and collectively pro-
nounced it to be 100 per cent perfect.
The car was purchased entirely
through the efforts Of the depart
ment and without outside help what
ever, so stated Chief Engineer Kline
man. Most of the money has been
raised from receipts obtained from
The Morgan City daily review. (Morgan City, La.) 1916-1920, 1918-09-10

In emergency cases, when calls are
received by the police department
from points some distance away, the
car will be placed at their disposal,
said Chief Engineer Kihneman. All
in all the car will be valuable ad-
dition to the facilities of the city de-
partments and the members of the
fire company are to be commended
for their industry and high civic spirit
which has thus rebounded to the bene-
fit of all Morgan City citizens.

Girls In Y. M. c. A. War

"Over There
An Incident At The Bedside Of
A Soldier Going Vest
A Last Message of Love
To His Sweetheart
By Clarence Burlington kelland.

Parish, Sept. 2 (By MaiD The
soldier lay with closed eyes; only
gentle movement of the cover over
his chest showed that he still lived,
for he was very pale. A girl in the
uniform of the Y. M. C. A. stepped
quietly to his side and touched his
, hand, for she had been told that the
boy had not many hours to live.
He opened his eyes and looked up
at her with the shadow of smile,
for she had been a frequent visitor.
His lips moved and she bent her
head
$50 long," were the words she
barely heard.
The boy knew. He understood that
he was "Going West" as the saying
is.
"Can | write a letter for you?
Have you any message to send?
The boy shook his head.
Haven't you a mother? Can't I
write to herr"
Again he shook his head. He had
no mother.
"Father?"
He had no father.
Sweetheart"
He opened his eyes again and nod
ded very weakly.
"Shall l write to herr"
Another nod. The girl placed her
ear close to his lips.
"Her name?" she asked.
At the third attempt he made her
understand, and she printed it and
the address in big, plain letters and
held them before his eyes. He looked
long, nodded again. It was correct.
"What do you want me to say?"
"Good-bye."
'''You want me to tell her you are
Going West and that you thought
of her and wanted to send message
of love?"

his hand helped him to make faint
mark in place Of the signature he was
too weak to affix. An hour later she
returned, and he had started on his
journey.
This is but one case of many. The
Y. NJ C. A. women near the front
have organized to visit the dressing
stations and advanced hospitals to
sit by the boys and to talk and cheer
them up, and to write letters for
them.
If the folks at home could see the
light on the faces of the wounded
when these young women step into
the tent and sit beside the cot, they
would say that there is indeed real
reason for sending Y. M. C. A. wo-
men to France.
Women who wish to volunteer for

Chief Of Police Sam Bulge and

from their son, Joe, who was wound
ed in June during the fighting on the
Marne setcor, stating that his wound
is rapidly healing and he hopes to be
"up and at 'em' again in very short
time. He says he has been over the
top twice The first time he didn't
receive scratch and on the second
attempt he went forward with his
comrades about four miles before he
was stopped by bullet. Joe says
this misfortune sure disappointed him
as he wanted to be with the boys
when they finally caught up with the
Boches. However, he says he will be
given another chance before long and
hopes for better luck next time
