OF INFLUENZA

EATON, O.. Sept 3O--Earl Conley.
aged II, died from the effects OF an
attack of Spanish influenza Sunday
morning about one o'clock at the
home OF his parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Samuel Conley at New Hope. accord
ing to the attending physician. He
was i'll only few days. 1t is the
first death from the disease reported
in Preble county. Young Conley was
an only child
Many cases of illness are reported
in Eaton by local doctors, who de-
clare much of the illness indicates
Spanish influenza, while the presence
of the new disease is unmistakable in
number of instances. Doctors were
on the move Sunday caring for the
sick and it was impossible to find
them in their offices to ascertain the
number of cases of the new disease in
the city.
Four young men students were
brought to their homes here Sunday
from Miami university. where they are
members OF the students military
training corps. They are reported to

Loan Driue in Full
Force in Winchester

WINCHESTER, Ind, Sept 30.-The
fourth Liberty Loan drive is on here
today in full force. Fifty men are
winding up the soliciting in Winches-
ter. Many subscriptions were taken
before today. The country districts
are being worked in sections of two
miles square and everybody is being
asked to buy. Very few are refusing
to buy. The majority Of the people
take 1t as matter of fact and buy
their allotment. 1t is remarkable the
number who pay cash for their bonds
rather than take advantage of the in
stallment plan. In White River town
ship an assessment has been made of
s per cent of each mans net taxables.

U. s. SHIPBUILDERS
have DESTROYED
SUBMARINE PLAN
Every Plan of Germany Has
Failed Hurley Says in Loan
Speech.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 30-Through
the efforts OF American shipbuilders
the nations fighting Germany have
broken the backbone OF the submar-
Inc campaign" Chairman Hurley, OF
the Shipping Board. said Friday night
In an address before the Philadelphia
Chamber OF Commerce opening the
fourth liberty loan campaign.
Every plan, every prediction made
by the German government has failed"
Mr.. Hurley said. "As the British feet
bottled the Germans in the Kiel Canal.
as the brave French held the Germans
at the Marne, the shipbuilders OF
America have forever dashed the hope
Of Germany to isolate this country and
prevent its participation in the war Of
humanity against despotic military
power"
Despite the enormous expansion of
the shipbuilding industry, Mr.. Hurley
said, 1t had not been possible to pro-
vide the tonnage necessary to trans
port the American armies to France
and maintain them there. Credit
should be given, he asserted, to Eng
land, France and Italy, who, though
short Of ships themselves, made fur
Their sacrifices in order that me might
get nearly 100000 American soldiers
to the battlefelds in the first year and
q half Of our war against Germany"
war has produced community Of
interests among the allies and Amer
lea, and 1t is only by the unselfishness
Of each that all can be assured of VIC
tory" he continued. Team work is
essential among the nations fighting
the Central Powers. And that such
actually prevails is shown by the fact
that the military forces engaged on
the side OF America and the allies are
directed by a French general. while
the navies opposed to Germany are
directed by an English Admiral, and
the diplomatic and moral leadership
has been given by general consent to
the American president, Woodrow
Wilson"

View Of France Drovs Thoughts
Of Soldiers More Closely to U. S.

Mrs. Hugh Foss. formerly Of Rich.
mond, has received the following let.
ter from her husband, who is with a
hospital unit in France. Foss was con.
nected with the City Light Plant as
assistant cashier before going into the
service:
Here / am on land again. thank
goodness. We had such a fine trip
over. The sea was what I call smooth
all the time. They always say Sun
ny France" but tell you it was pref
ty cold at night We were rolling
along on the big ocean when we spied
light house.
Every one was happy for we had
had successful trip. We are in a
rest camp. but now about the trip to
the camp. We came in a wonderful
natural harbor and anchored in front
Of town. 1t was quite a beautiful
sight to see the electric street lights
blinking here and there over the city.
Ever SO often the beams of the light
houses would shoot across the water
about to see a great electrical exhi-
bition. Well. by and by we landed and
had a glimpse for the first time of a
French city. OF course all was activ-
ity and soldiers. About the first thing
saw was q railroad and upon the cars
and big engine were the letters u.
8. A. Even though l was across the
ocean ! am not so far away from
home and you.
French Trains Quaint.
We started on our march and turned
into road or street cut in solid rock.
Great cliffs arose, almost from the sea
shore, of solid rock. We marched up
a long hill and I saw a French house
for the rst time. 1t was built out of
stone and looked like a castle in a
picture book. This house l guess is
just an exception to the general run of
houses. We went on a little farther
and were about to pass through a
great arch. A railroad passed over
the top. We had the pleasure of see
ing a French passenger train. 1t was
drawn by one of those funny locomo-
tives, and it was made up of funny
coaches with doors on the side.
The coaches only have four wheels
under them. and from where was the
train looked like a toy. After it had
passed we heard some French children
singing. There were five or six of
them and they were singing in Eng
lish that old familiar hymn Hail,
Hail, the gangs all here" Gee, it
sounded good at that. The children
have learned to say give me penny"
We were asked by dozens of them as
well as old men and women. All
along the way were men, women and
children selling candy, fruit and nuts

candy two by one and quarter by
one inch.
Well. to pass on, we then passed
through a portion of the city. The
streets are narrow and the side walks,
if any. are about three feet wide. The
houses are built up from the side
walk. 1t puts me in mind OF the bar
racks up on Fifteenth and Main. The
houses are made of stone and plaster
ed with a sort of cement on the out
side, then whitewashed or painted.
All the windows have shutters.
All at once { yellow something stop
ped in front of us and we beheld
street car. 1t was just a whole lot
smaller than the ones at home even.
and awfully narrow. l bet no more
than twenty people could get in it.
Along one side of the road was a
little creek and quite a few of the
women were out doing their washing
in it. One woman had a scrub brush
and was washing the same as we
soldiers do sometimes. In another
place along the creek woman had
what seemed to be broad paddle and
she was pounding the stuffing out of
her clothes.
/ saw several fine gardens along the
way, but they were all very small We
passed quite a few men and women
and with few exceptions they were
dressed in black. Many of the people
wear what seems to be leather slip
per with a wooden sole. We must
have passed through a very poor part
of the city for the people had poor
clothing and were dirty. One cannot
turn around but what he sees wine
room.
We came on through the city and
passed a farm house In many in
stances wall surrounds the house
and we could see over this one. The
barn was built along the road and the
house was back about hundred feet.
Between the two was the flower gar
den. House and barn alike were built
of stone. Several vehicles passed us
on the way. / saw the big old-fash-
toned two, wheeled cart, and the little
light cart for pleasure riding. Sleigh
bells were around the neck of the
horse pulling the pleasure cart. When
we reached the farm house l just told
you about, behold saw an automobile,
a French one.
French Car and Ford.
A Ford passed and then this French
car. The Ford made two of it yet it
held five people. The Madame"
looked like Henrietta" sure enough.
We came on up the road, made a
turn and came into our camp. wish
you could see this place. Consider
ing everything it is truly wonderful.
