BUGLER COHAN
WRITES FRIEND
His Game Leg Fractured by Being
Crushed by a Gun

Bugler Michael Cohan, of East
Burke has recently written an East
Burke friend telling of a severe ac-
cident while in the service. The let
ter was addressed to Mrs. William
H. Jeffrey, in whose home he was
constant visitor, and had not heard
of Mrs. Jeffrey's death.
Dear Ma jeff
I hope you will excuse my rather
long delay in writing you, but the
fact of the case is | have been very
busy and been thru quite lot of ex-
periences.
Since / last wrote you, our outfit
has left the town where we had been
billeted and gone up to the real ac-
tions on the firing line. But very
babe them halt. Pedestrians lodged
ton | met with a slight accident
which has laid me up for forced
rest and repairs. I have frac-
tured thigh which, tho quite pain
full, is not serious. But it will take
quite a long time before l shall be
able to ruiz around or kick my old
right leg. Do you remember how
I got hurt in that game against the
Sem. up to Burlington? Well, that
leg was the indirect cause Of my
present predicament. 1t had thrown
me and was swollen up considerable.
We had reached our point and 20
of US were digging the gun positions.
1t had to be at night, in the dark,
for all the world like a bunch of da-
goes working for the city. About
$50 in the morning one of oul
tractors balked, which we used to pull
our big guns. So we had to push the
gun. 1t was down a hill of IS pei
cent grade. We got the gun going
and l leaped clear but my bad knee
gave way and I fell. Soon after
realized that the gun had done q
cakewalk up my right leg, smashing
it at the thigh. Had it gone about
6 inches further it would have gone
across my stomach and Is tons or
your "bread-basket'' is quite serious
if it don't kill you, you are liable
to get Indigestion,
Am doing nicely and getting the
best of care, so there is nothing tC
worry about Love to Pa Jeff, Milo
and the girls. Write often as have
many long, tedious hours to spene
here.

GERMANY'S REPLY TO
PRESIDENT WILSON
Says the Chancellor Speaks in the
Name of the Government and
the People

Washington, Oct. 14-Germany's

reached tne state department today
through the Swiss legation, is as fol-
lows:
2 Berlin, Oct. II, 1918
In reply to the questions of the
President CT the United States of
America, the German government
hereby declares:
The German government has ac-
cepted the terms laid down by Presl-
dent Wilson in his address Of January
8, and in his subsequent addresses on
the Foundation of a permanent peace
of justice. Consequently its object in
entering into discussion would be
only to agree upon practical details
of the application of these terms.
The German government believes that
the government of the powers assoc
lated with the government of the
United States also take the position
taken by President Wilson in his ad-
dress.
The German government, in accor-
dance with the bringing about an
armistice, declares itself ready to
Austro- Hungarian government, for
the purpose to comply with the pro-
position of the President in regard to
evacuation.
The p1 esent German government,
which has undertaken the response
bility for this step toward peace, has
been formed by conference and in
agreement with the great majority of
the Reichstag. The chancellor, sup
ported IL all his actions by the will of
this majority, speaks in the name of
the German government and of the
German people.

AMERICANS POOR FRATERNIZING
MATERIAL JUST NOW.

1t is probable that the Germans are
endeavoring to make advances toward
American soldiers just as they have made
them toward all their opponents in the
present war, advances which succeeded
we'll on the eastern part, which were
frustrated on the Italian front, which
were rejected on the French front and
which were stoutly turned aside by the
British. These first advances toward the
American soldiers constitute attempts at
friendly conversation through the use of
signs and the presentation Of boxes of
cigarettes thrown from German trenches
which lie in fairly close proximity to the
American trenches. However, the Amer
leans are alert to the trick and give no
sign that the apparent attempt to be
friendly is reciprocated The average
American soldier holds the German sol.
der in such adherence that he is not
ready to fraternize with him under any
conditions, and the enemy will simply
have his pains for nothing. He viii soon
learn that the American soldiers are not
to be toyed with in this way.

Thierry during "a hours and that only
one German machine was shot down, and
that by anti-aircraft guns rather than
by aeroplanes. Such state Of affairs
would not be allowed to continue long
over the British or the French lines with
out serious interference on the part of
British and French ayiators. And only
one reason can be advanced for the fail
ure Of American aviators to 90 up and
meet the enemy in combat, and that rea
son is the shortage of machines among
the American forces of that sector.
