Thanks Valley People

Camp Travis, Tex, Aug. 25, IS. Editor of The Arizona Republican, Dear Sir:
 By request of the boys that were stationed at Roosevelt dam and myself from March 21, 1918, till August 15 1918 of Co. L, 35th Infantry, we take this privilege in writing your valuable paper so as to get it to the public, how much we thank the people of the val ley for their kindness shown to us while we were stationed at the dam. cannot tell you in this letter how much the boys think of the people down there in the valley for their kindness. All you can get out of these boys is how good the people were to them when they were in town on leave. Also the boys that were stationed at Granite Reef dam have nothing but a good word for them all. We are now at Camp Travis, Texas and there is a lot of difference in drilling and guarding such as we were doing at the dam. We are now in the lSth division and expect to soon be on our way to meet the Hun. We expect to do as good fighting as we did guard : Ing at the wonderful dam
 Thanking your paper, also the people of Arizona for their kindness I will close.
 Yours truly. PRIVATE TERRENCE McENTEE. Co. L, 35th Inf

 The ruins abandoned by the Germans previously were carefully filled with mustard gas. For this reason Rove is stlll inaccessible for occupation.
 Use Enemy's Ammunition
 The Germans were not able to use all the gas projectiles they brought to the present front and large dumps of them fell into French hands, They are now being fired against the enemy from some cf the hundreds of German guns that the French army has taken since August s. The French third army also attacked, occupying Dives and push ing to Vauchelles, less than half a mile from Noyon.
 With the French in possession of Noyon, the Germans will have only tHeH poSltlOnS 10 the northeast, in the hills along the Disc, and in the northwest on the west bank of the Canal du Nord, to protect their retreat to the forest of St. Gobain and the Hindenburg line.
 Would Create Menace
 It is not considered possible that the German retreat will halt on the Disc, French patrols reaching the region of Bethancourt this afternoon.
 The crossing of the canal and the river Somme in that region by the French troops would create the great est menace to the enemy's troops and material. This prospect explains the sacrifice of an immense quantity of material in the region between Rove and the canal in order to accelerate the retrograde movement.

Just as we came TO the conclusion
mat there would be no new departure
in styles for the midwinter coat, the
trench coat" breezed in and made an
instantaneous success with the young
er set. It's name bespoke an interest
In 1t and the coat repays this interest.
1t is only in details of finishing that
IL differs from many other of the win
ter's successful models. 1t is the sort
of comfortable, practical affair that
commends itself for general wear, TO
the active young woman who goes
everywhere. But it has a style of its
own with a snappy military flavor.
Even though 1t reaches to the shoe
tops, the trench coat contrives to be
trim looking with its wide fiat box
plat down the front. The belt, of the
material, slips through upturned flaps
at each side, which are fastened down
with big bone buttons. The deep cuffs,
that are of uneven width. overlap at
the edges and an important button
stands guard on each of these. The
collar is of the smuggling variety that
has won the devotion of the fashion
able. 1t is Immensely becoming and
comfortable. This garment may be de-
veloped In any Of the plain, soft coat
ings that have made this most sue
cessful coat season.
Content to bear comparison with the
trench coat, another popular model
presents itself in the picture. 1t also
has several interesting points TO be
considered with yoke and sleeves cut
In one, double collar and huge but
tons. The collar OF cloth amounts to a
small cape and the collar OF fur Is

sweater of. when its wearer is wound
ed. This saves the sweater for future
use. But however carefully all these
garments are made they will wear out
and we must all stick to our knitting
for some time to come.
Another item Of comfort for the sol
diers, that disappears like snow under
the sun, Is the needed trench torch.
Millions Of these have already been
made by school children and millions
more must be made. Then there are
the caps, bootees and other garments
school girls are making successfully.

The dreadful dark shadow was not

A startled group sprang up from the
porch to greet her. She flung one arm

And then, crouching, with Carol, close

the story.

there silent, her eyes upon the hands
in her lap. Once or twice she lifted
them swiftly to his face, and lowered
them instantly again. Only he noticed
when they were raised, that they were
unusually deep, and that something lay
within shining brightly, like the refiec-

Lark, and then she disappeared.
The professor turned away from the
hospitable door very much depressed.
He shook his head impatlently and
thrust his hands deep into his pockets
like a troubled boy. Halfway down
the board walk he stopped, and
smiled. Carol was standing among the
