Ash Piles on Streets,
Complaint Of Residents

Complaint has been made that the
owner of small houses in the rear of
the handsome new Messiah Lutheran
Church. has permitted a huge pile of
ashes and filth to accumulate at the
intersection of Sarah. and Wyeth
streets. The obstruction is sufficient
to block traffic and is breeder of
disease.
There is talk of having the health
board investigate the condition of
these houses which are old, over
crowded and in a bad state of repair
1t is said that in one of them a fam
lily of seven lives in but one room
which is rented to them at the ex-

GOOD ONE ON THE Y. NJ. @. A.
Irish Soldier Though, Money Sent
In Answer to Prayer Was Lost.

This story comes from France
, via Chicago: !,
An Irish soldier after eight months
/, of hard active service applied for a
/ furlough. His request was granted
and then it dawned on him that he
had no money to take advantage OF
his holiday. He wanted 500 to go TO
Paris. He was at his wits end, there
being no time to be lost. when he re-
called his aid mothers advice to APP
ply to the good God above in time
of trouble, so he wrote and posted
this letter..
Dear Lord:-Here / am after
fightin' three months in mud UP to
me neck The work is somewhat
unpleasant but We will be glad to
hear that have killed fifty Ger
mans. Now am little tired and I
have me furlough all right but l
have no money left, having spent
most of what / had for prayer books.
Ask Father Tom McCarty If We don't
believe me. So, Lord, ask ye in
the name of all the saints, for the.
small sum of 500. Sure, yell never
miss it, and if yell send me the
money I'll never forget We in me
prayers. James Quirk."
In due course this appeal reached
the censor's office, which happened.
in this locality to be housed in the
Y. M. c. A. quarters. The letter;
was passed around and aroused con-,
siderable attention and interest, as
Quirk was known to be brave and
cheerful fighter and finally the sum
of $50 was raised. This was sent
to the applicant, without comment,
in a Y. NJ. c. A. envelope The next,
day the following acknowledgements
was received: ~
Dear Lord,--I've received your
$50 as per application for furlough-
money, and / thank We. May. your
shadow never grow less. But I
make SO bold as to give you word
of warnin'. Sind the next money
by the knights of Columbus. Ye
stint the last by the Y. M. G. A. and
they nipped half of it.

Earriyed at Calmar a chicken dinner
was awaiting us. At Dubuque we
were met by committee and taken
to the Commercial Club where we
had supper and about 200 men
Joined us for camp. A couple of
bands and a drum corps led us back
to the depot. The streets were lined
with people waving and bidding us
goodbye. The next stop was Daven-
port where we arrived at ten o.
clock. 800 men got on there, but
you should have heard the noisy
bunch when we got there. We also
shook hands and bid goodbye to
thousands of girls. At Clinton 100

we travelled over the Burlington
road via Rock Island, Illinois. The
next stop was St. Louis, where we
arrived Wednesday morning at 8
o'clock. There we were met by the
Red Cross and served with hot cof-
fee, rolls and a package of cigar
cites. st. Louis is large, but a
dirty city. We stayed there for two
hours. The next stop was Carlo,
Illinois, in the southern part of the
state. Here is where the Ohio river
emptys into the Mississippi. 1t is a
pretty good sized town, populated
mostly by colored people. We. eros
sed the river and got into Kentucky,
the blue grass state, This is the to-
bacco state, Kentucky is not much OF
Ia state, to my notion, The soil
seems to be poor, all clay, and the
crops looked poor. The next stop
was at Nashville, Tenn. Here we
stayed for two hours. We saw most
ly colored people. The farms looked
run down and the farm buildings
were nothing but shacks. The peo-
pie of the south look to be very lazy.
1t is the heat that makes it. We
had a lot of fun with the negroes;
the little boys would jig and sing
for us. In one negro town some OF
the boys started to run after the ne
gro children and believe me they can
run. T7'-
Our camp is just ten miles from
Chattanooga, Tenn, across the state
line in Georgia. The country around
here is pretty rough, as we went
through many tunnels and the land
is almost no good. The camp is To-
