his life, but he was going to enjoy life
and eating was one of his greatest
pleasures.
The eight officers with US have the
custom of making one the officer of
Honor for the day and serving him
first. My turn will come soon and l
plan to make the most of the Honor
and take literally Of each dish. I
must give the French credit for the
way they conduct themselves at the
table. The first to be served do not
take advantage of their priority or ev-
en- become careless. A careless flip of
the spoon might rob two or three of
their portion. One must not only be
unselfish but extremely careful be-
sides.
If Americans, some one at the table
would surely go hungry every day.
The mistake of sending us here Gas
mistake it will prove to be) has it's
advantages. In the first place we
missed a very disagreeable ride of
many kilometers in the rain on horse
back from camp to order of entrain-
ment. We had a day to ourselves in
this city and enjoyed it thoroughly.
The train carrying us here had only
one cOacn, which proved 1nSufncl6nt,
so many of us claimed a box car as
our own. Had +ome straw thrown in
it (notice that we had it thrown in
and did not put it in ourselves, a
privilege of officers) and not only had
the novel experience of riding in a
box car, but slept we'll and enjoyed
our trip more than if we had been in
the crowded coach.
This morning we he'd an invigOrat-
ing ride in search Of headquarters
and news, yesterday Q fight in a
plane, and all the freedom from the
regular army which sometimes be-
comes tiresome. In these little flights
of ours we steer clear of the German
lines with considerable margin to
spare.
My next letter will no doubt find
me back with the battery. / will give
you no new address, but address me
as before, to Battery E, 18th F. A.
Affectionately,
Neil.

j. C. UDELHOFEN TELLS OF WILD
RIDE OVER STEEP MOUNTAINS.
DOES e. s. PATROL WORK.
Preside. Texas Nav % 1918

Preside, Texas, May 25, 1918.
Dear Editor:
After being on a hike for whole
month, sleeping on the ground with
our saddles for pillow and the blue
sky and stars for roof (when we
were not riding the river trail on pa
troD it sure seemed great to land in
Preside at the army post where we
were treated to roast beef, "spuds,"
and real honest to goodness bread in
stead of corned Willie" and hard
tack.
On our two hundred mile hike ov-
er the mountains and along the Rio
Grande we sure had some great ex-
perience on the hiking" question so
often spoken Of in the army. On
some Of the narrow trails over the
mountains some places were quite
perilous as the trail was only about
four feet wide and if you looked over
the cliff. your hair would stand up and
your hat start to turn around, be-
cause you just could not see the bot
tom and on the other side a perpen-
dicular wall Of solid rock.
But when we hit the river again we
forgot all about it and were ready to
go bathing in the muddy but very
warm water of the famous old river.
While we were doing patrol duty
we were riding on one side of the riv-
er and bunch of Mexican Federal
soldiers on the other. Those Next
cans sure have some cavalry; they
ride burro, mule or any old pony
they can get. And the soldiers wives
follow on foot.
These Mexicans on our side of the
river live in houses built nearly all
of mud with only a hole in the wall
for a window and the bare earth for
a floor
This Spanish language is very cas-
lily learned; l can speak it quite we'll
already.
This post is only about Is miles
from the railroad and we all got an
armful of mail when we got here. l
was sure glad when I got the Herald
again. That was some letter Lieut.
Rich wrote from over there. By the
paper | suppose many of the Grant
county boys leave for Camp Grant to-.
day.
We sure have some ''Y' here which
affords very good accommodations
for writing letters and reading
Many thanks to all Y. NJ. G. A. work
ers.
We have first call at 6 in the morn
ing, breakfast at $50 and first call
for drill at Z and recall from drill at
1920. We do not drill any more in
the afternoon as it is too hot-only
about 10 degrees in the shade.
Well as | soon leave for outpost
nafrO1 T will have tnr riT1C off

PIRATE GOLD FOUND
BY JOLLY MARINES.

"Tell it to the marines" That's all
the comfort superstitious negroes got
when they whispered to white scott
ers of buried pirate treasure on a lit
tie island near Paris Island, S. C. In
these days of intensive training for
troop trenches must be dug in order
to truly stimulate west front condi-
tions. Well, then, why not dig the
trenches somewhere near the spot
negro tradition said the pirate treas
ure lay? Not that the marines had
any idea there was treasure there
Oh no! Still digging away over the
site of the buried treasure would add
a new zest to the task, would get the
trenches completed in jig time and
would prove to the darkies that the
whole thing was myth. The marines
found the buried treasure in the ex-

BOYS BAND MAKES
HIT WITH PEOPLE.

The High School band headed by
Martin Valeski, manual training in
structor, was a fine feature of Me-
mortal Day. The band played morn
ing and afternoon and finished with
a patriotic concert at night. Many
compliments were to be heard on the
bands work. An effort is being made
to retain Mr.. Valeski for next year
in his department on account of his
work with the boys. The band may
have some new suits soon and then
they will play even more spiritedly.

MEMORIAL SERVICES FULL
OF IMPRESSIVE CEREMONY

The services held at the cemetery
last Thursday morning were highly
impressive. The G. A. r. carried out
its ritual as first ordained by Gen.
Logan in 1868, the boys band played
and Miss Martha Meyer rendered the
Gettysburg address. 1t is hoped that
as the G.. A. r. men become fewer
the children and grandchildren of
veterans will carry on the Memorial
day work and particularly the deco
ration of the graves and the attend
ant ceremony.

MORE ABOUT FRANCE
NEIL STEPHENS TAKES TRAIN.
ING AS FLYER OFFICER
OF HONOR.
France, April %, 1918.
Dear Mumsie a& Dad

France, April %, 1918
Dear Mumsie a& Dad
am now in a different part of
France and the story of how I got here
ana what | am engaged in makes a
strange story.
according to a recent order eman-
atlng from a high authority, l and
TWO other officers of the field artillery
are now full Pledged aeroplane Artil-
lery observers and expected to fly ov-
er the lines in a short time observing
and directing fire for the guns of the
batteries we so lately were a part Of.
The honor came suddenly and we
lad no warning. Evidently it is a
mistake for there have been officers
training at camp for this work while
we have been with the batteries. Our
aviatOrs were sent ahead some time
ago and having become lost, strayed
or stolen, there were none to accom-
pany the regiment to the front and
consequently three more were de-
tailed from the attached officers.
We proceeded to a small station
near the lines with supply section
and ultimately arrived at a French
Esquadrille headquarters. An esqua-
drille is the smallest unit in aviation
organization and has but eight ma
chimes.
The officers of course expected to
meet trained flyers and were some
what nonplussed to learn we were in
experienced. This morning we visit
ed headquarters la motorcar and
they seemed too busy % bother about
rectlfying things today. However,
we had promise that within a few
days we would know definitely wheth-
er we were to be trained as observ-
ers.
AS this is no training school, and
as the real observers will no doubt
appear in time, think we will be
back with the battery before long.
Watchful waiting is our policy and
while waiting the pleasure Of the reg
ular army, we are having some in
struction in the art of observing from
the heights.
This afternoon one Of the French
officers gave us some practice sending
and receiving the Morse code.
Yesterday we went up in machine
and flew over some of the neighbOr-
ing small towns.
We carried maps and were expected
to identify the places and become
used to locating ourselves. The
ground looks different from the air
than when on it, as the hills, valleys
and mountains all look alike. Woods
and roads are the land marks, espe-
cially these fine French roads.
The captain of the esquadrille was
my pilot and he gave me an interest
ing ride. In all, we were in the air
an hour and half. We landed at
neighboring unit to have tea and
gossip. The latter being in French,
| participated to a very small extent,
but l enjoyed the tea.
Tea in France now is nothing but
tea. Jam is hard to get, sugar and
cream are almost unheard of, while
cakes are prohibited along with choc-
olate. 1t takes being marooned this
way from the American Y. M. G. A.
canteen and mess to make one appre-
ciate how fortunate he really is COM
pared to some Of the belligerents.
Our breakfasts now consist of
toast and coffee. The French thrive
on it so I guess we can, and it will
perhaps prove that the American eats
too much.

eating candy, that it might shorten

CLIMBED FIRE ESCAPE.
Elizabeth Demming Makes High
Climb to Salute Flag.
April 26, 1918.

"Me Swawoot Fwag." This state
ment was made Sunday evening in
this city by Elizabeth Demming, two
and a half year old daughter Of Mr..
and Mrs. Nels Demming, who reside
on Washington street.
About $50 Sunday evening the
baby was missed by her mother and
a search Of the neighborhood was be-
gun. The child could not be found.
Both father and mother had almost
given up hopes when Mrs. Demming
who was at the high school building
began calling. The child heard and
answered, "Here I is, mamma" The
answer was distinct but the child
could not be located until a second
answer was received.
The child had climbed the fire es-
cape and was sitting on the top plat
form, happy as could be. Her mother
rushed to the bottom Of the stair and
cautioned her to sit still and as rap
idly as possible assembled. When the
top was reached and the child was
safe in her arms, the answer to "why
did you climb so high" was, Mamma,
me swawoot fwag."
The child had been taught to sa-
lutte the flag that floats above the
school house and her parents are Of
the opinion that the child wished to
get close to the flag that she had been
taught to love and cherish.-New Lon

Bay State Feels War Urge
Legislators Will Hurry Ses-

BOSTON, Jan. 1s.-~Indications that
the Massachusetts, Legislature will fol-
low the advice given by Governor
Mccall in his inaugural address
to concentrate on war measures
and that the session may end earlier
than usual are found in the list OF
measures now before the lawmakers.
The time for filing new legislation ex-
pred last night. The total Of l1O9
bills introduced into the Senate and
House of Representatives is 412 less
than the number considered by the
Legislature last year, and only about
half that of the record year Of 1914.
One Of the late measures filed was
a petition by Henry b. Endicott, State
rood Administrator, that the Governor
and Council be empowered to cxncnd
$500, 900 "for the purpose of promoting
and stimulating the production and
conservation Of food products. and for
like purposes growing out of the pres
ent war emergency" Another bill pro
posed by Mr.. Endtc colt would impose
temporary surtaxes upon motor vehicles
