MURDERED BY HUNS

NJ. C. Burrell of Tacoma, brother
of Lieut.. G. o. Burrell of Olympia.
has received information in the fol-
lowing letter showing that his broth
er was shot through the back by a
Hun while doing Red Cross duty in
No Mans Land. Says the letter:
Some members of the Signal
Corps and intelligence bureau were
out in a shell crater in No Mans
Land. From there, under cover of a
heavy rain and darkness, they pushed
forward and placed photograph on
the parapet Of the German first line
trench. They were listening to the
Boches from the shell hole.
'They had brought some canned
meat with them, from which they got
a severe attack of ptomaine poison
ing. They telephoned their condition
back to their own trenches.
my brother, being a member OF
the Red Cross Medical Corps, volun-
teered to go out alone and unarmed,
and render such assistance to them as
was possible. He had already been
decorated for conspicuous bravery. It
was when he was returning, with his
Red Cross insignia plainly visible
that a low-lived Hun shot him in the
back. They did not kill him; they
murdered him. This is characteristic
of Hun perfidy, and l am one loyal
American who will never to his dying
day, buy anything made in Ger

BATTLE OF SERGY
WAS SIMPLY HELL
MEDICAL OFFICER WRITES OF
CONFLICT WHERE LEE LEWIS
WAS WOUNDED.

A graphic story of the fighting at
Sergy, a small place near Chateau
Theirry, where Capt. Lee C. Lewis.
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Fred w. Lewis of
Brighton Park, received the wounds
from which he died, is told by Capt.
Fred A. Lieuallen of the medical
corps, formerly Of Pendleton, Ore, In
a letter to the East Oregonian of that
city.
Captain Lewis was wounded during
this battle on July 20 by the bursting
of a German shell, while he, as adju-
tant, was giving instructions to the
officers orderly Of Company A, 47th
regiment, U. .. infantry. Writing of
this battle, Captain Lieuallen says:
1T was simply hell at Sergy. l
came through without a scratch but
we suffered heavy casualties among
the officers as we'll as the enlisted
men. You remember reading of the
fighting at Sergy. July 29th, when it
was so fierce that the town changed
hands nine times during the day. My
first aid station was in that town on
that date AMI we never moved out
once and we treated between 200 and
$50 cases. Some hot stuff.
"a big shell killed men within 80
feet of our front door. We had the
aid station under an old mill. The
upper part was shelled away while
we were there. You could not have
heard it thunder. He'll can hardly be
worse than that was.
1--WE are now at rest camp but
have bunch that this rest of ours Is
to be of very short duration. It is
too quiet here. At first 1t was SO
much so that could not sleep or rest
at all, but now I hammer the pillow
from to s, and would not wake
then If they didn't call me.
Eight out of 14'of my men were
either killed, wounded or gassed, two
making the supreme sacrifice. wish
l could write so that I would be able
to describe the fighting at Sergy and
at the River Vesle. One thing is
sure, no matter where we are sent,
Jerry can't show us anything more
than he has, and we all know that We
are more than his match. We had all
his shells, machine guns, gas In all
forms, hand grenades, motar bombs
and even hand fighting and there is
nothing to it. The Yanks are his
master and the only way he can keep
US out of Berlin is to beg for mercy
and beg early"

ING ROOMS FOR LEGIS-
LATORS.

Olympians, particularly those who
have never rented rooms before, are
called on by the Chamber of Com
merce to provide Accommodations for
members of the state legislature and
house and senate employees during
the coming session.
The listing of rooms available for
legislators has been going on for
some time under the direction of a
special committee of the Chamber, Of
which Senator P. H. Carlyon is chair
man. Arrangements have been made
by the Chamber SO that. as soon as i:
knows who are to be here, letters
will be sent them to ascertain their
wants and they will be put in touch
with householders who can accomo-
date them.
while the task of housing the
members of the legislature at this
time will be considerably greater
than 1t has been heretofore" Sec
rotary H. B. Fultz says, ''it can be
easily done If all citizens who have
never before opened their homes to
the legislators will do SO, and this Is
absolutely necessary if all the men,
bers are to be taken care of.
"People who are now renting
rooms to shipworkers are urgently
requested not to disturb Them" he
added, 'as the housing department
OF the United States employment SER
vice keeps in close touch with hous-
ing facilities for shipyard workers
and will insist, by law if necessary,
that the men working in the yards
will, receive proper housing and that
the rents be not exorbitant.

house both the shipyard workers and
the legislators, and this can easily
be accomplished if the citizens Of
Olympia will only respond to- the
