WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, June 20. - The Misses Emma
D. and Katherine E. Lansing, sisters Of
secretary Of State Lansing, who have
oecn members Of the Red Cross in
france since last September, have had
thrilling experience and learned the
horrors of modern warfare at first
hand.
Recently when German airmen
bombed village near the front where
the Misses Lansing conducted a can
teen they were forced, with many other
persons, virtually to live in cham
pagne cellar until they could close the
canteen and leave the village. The
Germans had advanced in that sector
and subjected the village to almost in
cessant bombing, SO tina. it was not
easy to leave the place in minute.
The correspondent and another cor
respondent were lunching to-day in q
little town in the rear of the French
British front when chauffeur told
them that two nurses" had been talk
ing to him and inquiring if the Ameri-
cans were coming there. They ap-
peared to be foaely, said the chauffeur,
and desired to see some of their coun-
trymen.
:, Later the correspondent found the
nurses" who proved to be the Misses
Lansing, in front of a neat home,
Where they were comfortably billeted.
iihey said they were thirsty for news
from home and eager to learn from
Americans whst the American troops
were doing on the Marine and else
where. They declared they had heard
SO much favorable comment concerning
the Americans from the British and
fre9ch soldiers whom they had met
that it made them all the more anx-
lous to see and talk with Americans.

has been made since. Americas entry
into the war.
German mass attacks will doubtless
come in profusion, but those who l'now
are convinced that the last few weeks
have signalled new turning point in
the great European war. Having failed
to date the stage is doubtless now
passed when the enemy is able to de-
liver victory on the battlefield.
Hard battles are yet to be fought, but
in the belief of those we'll informed
the tide is beginning to turn so rapidly
that every day will find the flood of
Allied man power deeper until such a
force will be easily capable of ending
victoriously these four years of the
greatest struggle in history.

SERIOUS FIRE AT COLESBURG.

Fire discovered at II o'clock Monday
night almost completely destroyed the
$25,O0O addition to the public school
building at Colesburg. The interior Of
the structure was a mass of flames
when the fire was first discovered and
firemen encountered some difficulty
in bringing it under control. A chem
ical engine is the only fire apparatus
available and this was found made
quate. After hard struggle, however,
the flames were subdued. A steel door
separating the addition from the main
school building saved the latter struc-
ture.
The loss is heavy, but is fully COW
cred by insurance.
The building was to have been COM
pleted by the contractors April 1, and
a Monticello firm, which has the con-
tract for the plumbing, lost heavily in
tools and other materials. The build
ing is damaged to such an extent that
it will have to be entirely rebuilt

home continuously from that time on.
Mrs. White is survived by three
daughters, Mrs. Addie Farr, of Alden.
Iowa; Mrs. William Magill of Man
chester, and Mrs. Minnie Colvin of
Winnebago, Illinois.
Funeral services were held in the
Magill home this forenoon at II
o'clock. Rev. C. X. Hudson preached
the funeral sermon. The body was
then placed in the receiving vault,
to be inferred in Oakland cemetery
later.
Mrs. White won her way into the
minds and hearts of Manchester peo-
pie through her ministrations as a
practical nurse. Her untiring efforts
in nursing back to health those on
beds of sickness were marked charac
teristics of her life. She found hap
piness and joy in the noble work in
which she was engaged in for so
many years. Many outside the imme-
date family circle found in her a
true friend, one who thought not of
herself, if only she might minister to
those in distress and want.
Her death is a source of sorrow,
and those attached to her by tender
family ties, have the sincere sympa-
thy OF many friends in their hour of
sorrow.

+. G.. NAPLES TO LEAVE MAN.
.,E .'s CHESTER.

F. C. NAPLES, who recently sold his
interest in the American Mortgage
and Securities Company Of this city,
and in the Jones County Trust and
Savings Bank of Monticello, in order
to enter the farm mortgage business
in Cedar Rapids, is now manager OF
the Midland Mortgage Company OF
that city. He has also accepted the
active business managership of the
Iowa Farm Mortgage Assertion OF
which he is the treasurer. Mr.. Wa
pies has his offices in the Cedar Rap
ids Savings Bank building, and is
now in active management of the
company.
Mr.. NAPLES came to Manchester in
January, 1918, to handle the loan de-
prtment of A. NJ. Cloud. In April, Of
the following year, when the Amer
ican Mortgage and Securities Compa-
ny was organized, he was elected Sec
retary, which position he has held
since then. Mr. NAPLES is thor
oughgoing young business man. He
is thoroughly familiar with the farm
loan business, and has a wide ac-
quaintnce with the large investors of
the middle west. His business in
tegrity is above reproach, and those
who place funds with him can rest
assured that they are safely invest
ed. ....
Having disposed of his interest in
the Manchester company he has re-
signed from the position of secretary,
and will devote his entire time to
the management of the Midland Mort
gage Company and Iowa Farm Mort
gage Association.
Mr., NAPLES will move his family
to Cedar Rapids probably about April
1st. During the time that Mr.. and
Mrs. NAPLES have. lived in Manches-
ter they have taken an active inter-
est in social and church activities.
They made many friends in Man
chester who regret keenly that they
are to leave this city. While their
departure from Manchester Is a
source of keen regret, this estima-
BILE couple will carry with them the
heartiest good wishes of their friends,
and we hope that they may find
their new home entirely to'their lik-
ing and that Mr.. NAPLES may pros
per in his new location beyond his
fondest expectations. .s

were conducted under the auspices Of
the Masonic order, of which the de-
ceased was an honored and highly
respected member Rev. w. J. Sue
kOw, pastor of the Congregational
church. had charge of the services.

spent considerable of his young man
hood, and where he was united in mar
riage with Miss Mary Goldsmith, on
April 3Oth,, 1873. In 1880 Mr.. and Mrs.
Given came to Manchester, where
they have lived ever since.
When he first came to this city he
worked for Mr.. Thomas Carkeek, one
of the early day contractors and
builders of this place. Later Mr..
Given engaged in the carpenter and
contracting business for himself. He
has followed this line of work all his
life, and whenever he undertook a
piece of work he did that work we'll.

and one son, Burdette Given, of this
city, and one daughter, Mrs. Cora Lilli-
bridge, of Columbia, South Dakota. A
number of grandchildren also survive

ganizations to which he belonged.
Only about week ago Mr.. Given
was obliged to give up his work in his
carpenter shop because of a hard
cold which had settled upon him. This
soon developed into a violent form OF
pneumonia, and from then on his con-
dition was such as to hold out little
hope of his recovery The weight OF
years, and the hard work which he
had engaged in all his life, at once
manifested themselves when he was
stricken with this violent disease, and
after brave battle lasting only about
a week, death claimed his spirit
The sudden passing of Mr.. Given
has cast a deep sorrow over the family
circle, and to the wife and children is
extended the sincere sympathy or
their friends in this place.

from the several fire companies has
been soliciting the sale of dance tick
cts and have sold large number.
This is one of the objects to
which every citizen of Manchester
should contribute. The proceeds from
the dance will be used to purchase
new firefighting apparatus and equip
ment The citizens of Manchester
cannot afford to neglect the depart
ment. The members of the various
companies respond quickly to the fire
alarms, and it usually takes but few
before the flames are always
brought under control. A good fire.

part of Manchester, and whether you
dance or not, stand by the boys, to the
extent of the price of ticket anyway.
Tickets to dance are $1.OO. Spectators

evening, large number of the men,
bers being present at the dinner and
the business session following.
The executive committee reported on
it's findings as to the location of a
club room or club house. The commit

and reported favorably on that propo-
sition, providing the club could Sc
cure a number of persons who would
rent rooms in the hotel, and in this
way tighten the expense of upkeer OF
the place. a
Superintendent ]. S. Hilliard gave an
interesting talk on Manchester's pub
lie schools. Mr.. Hilliard had given
much thought and time in preparing
his able address and had Secured sta
tistics from nineteen towns and cities
of about the same size as Manchester.
He had figures to show the area OF the
districts of the several cities, the po1u-
lations in these districts, taxes, the
number of grade and high school pu-
pills, etc. From these facts it was
learned that the Manchester school
system ranks easily with the best OF
schools in the state, in point OF at
tendance, equipment, etc.
Following the address by Mr. Hill
lard. County Agent Krall gave brief
talk, and urged that the business men
of Manchester continue their efforts to
bring Manchester and the surround
ing country as closely together as pos
sible, and thereby work great bene-
fit to both town and country.

ary was a guest of the club, and at
the close of the address by Mr.. Krall,
President Brown gave very brief but
interesting address.
