Jos. Bulge Improving

Chief of Police Sam Bulge and
Mrs. Bulge were made happy by the
receipt Of a letter from their son,
Joseph Bulge, who had been report
ed by the War Department as seri-
ously wounded. Joseph says he is
getting along fine and hopes to be
back at 'em in short while. He does
not state just where he was wound
ed or how badly. The letter con-
tanned nothing but words of good
cheer and concluded wit hthe pro-
phesy that "they couldn't kill good
man."
Young Bulge was wounded on
July II, according to the report of
the War Department. He probably
was a member Of that portion Of the
American forces who acquitted them
selves so nobly at the last battle of
the Marine. He is a machine gunner
and was one of the first Morgan City
boys to get into active service. He
has been over in France considerably
over a year and has seen service in
the trenches many times during the
past several months. His many
friends here hope that his good luck
will continue. If Joseph's statement
that it is impossibleto get away with
good man is true, these friends may
rest assured that this young patriot
is perfectly safe.

Keen For Instruction

Close to forty men attended the
first military training meeting held
last night at the City Hall. Captain
Laurin, the instructor, was highly
pleased with the large attendance
and the close attention given, and
predicted great results if this inter
est would continue. Captain Laurin
expects to be called away soon, and
it was decided at the close of tie
meeting to hold drills every night
this week with the idea OF getting as
much training as possible before a
new man is stationed here, who, for
while at least, may not have the
time to devote to this work as Cap
tain Laurin. The City Hall as meet
ing place and the time, 1880, will be
in force throughout the week.
Captain Laurin stated that a rec
ord would be kept Of training re-
ceived by each man and when he is
selected for military duty and assign
ed to a camp this record will be sub
mitted to the commanding officer of
that camp and the bearer credited
with whatever military work he has
put in here This will give him
rating which will influence officer
when non commissioned officers are
selected.
Captain Laurin lost no time when
he arrived on the scene about 8
O'Clock. There was no speech or
Introductory remarks. He simply
told them to take off their coats and
line up. In five minutes, actual drill
work was in full swing. The exer-
cises and movements were neces-
sarily confined on this first night to
those of an elementary nature, but
soft as most of the men were-at
$50, when they were ordered to fall
out, everybody knew they had been
doing something.
The ages of those who took part
in the exercises was by no means con-
fined to the proposed draft ages
81 to as. Several who participated
(whose names it wouldn't be fair to
mention) are known to be consider
ably in excess Of the last figure. How
ever you wouldn't have been able to
guess this fact by observing their
actions in the drills. Several Of them
were more spry than number of
the younger men,
Every man expressed himself as
being intensely interested in the
work and felt that here was a chance
to receive training and physical ex-
ercise to the greatest value. A good
ly number is expected to be present
every night this week. Captain Lau-
rim stated it would be necessary to
have at least eight men to form a
complete squad and hold a satisfac-
tory drill.

night.
"The first several nights out it
was fearfully hot and it necessitated
us sleeping on deck, mostly on steam
er chairs, which are very comfortable
to sit in, but, Oh my! not to sleep!
About the fourth night out it became
cooler and the sleeping was not so
bad.
Gin my party was eleven men.
Nine X. Of C. secretaries and two
chaplains, drawn from all portions
of the United States. A finer bunch
of men l never met. On the second
day out We selected a captain and
he is some man! Ex-Judge Egge-
man of Fort Wayne, Ind. He is six
feet four and one-half and weighs
27O pounds.
son our seventh day out we ar
ranged for a grand concert for the
benefit of the French Sailors and
Orphans Fund. One Of the K. Cs.
had a number on the program,
young Irishman from Helena, Mont.
He rendered few Irish songs. Our
judge gave a little talk to open the
entertainment and stirred the parti-
otism Of the audience. He was also
the auctioneer, and to give you an
idea of how well he succeeded, he
sold a package of chewing gum for
$500 and a photo Of Cavalieri for
5000
''By the way, I forgot to mention
that Marotori, the great Italian sing
er, whose wife is the celebrated Cav
alieri, rendered a few very choice
selections. We succeeded in raising
1000, which was $40O in excess of
the largest amount raised on any
previous trip Of the ship.
"On the morning Of the ninth day
we sighted the shores Of dear old
France. AS far aS the beautiful
river we assembled and. the port at
which we disembarked, l am afraid it
is not poper to mention. We saw sew
eral whales on our way over and had
a good many sea sick individuals, but
taking all in all it was a wonderful
trip. Remember me 90 my friends"
