quota when Chairman FielH
made his report to the Tele-
graph yesterday, these being
Garland, Nowland, Red Land
and Bodcaw. The north half of
Ozan was the farthest behind,
having subscribed only S5,050.-
90 on a quota of $1S, ,050.00. The
south half of the township, as
well as many other townships
of the county, is also still far
behind the minimum quota.
Chairman Field reports that
there are some in the county
easily able to buy several thous-
and dollars in bonds who are
taking as little as $4,000, and
he says that pressure should be
brought to bear on these suffi-
cient to cause them to buy more
in proportion to their ability.
The quota and the amount
subscribed in all townships of
the county to date follows:

TECH BOY TELLS HOW 1T
FEELS TO GO OVER THE TOP
AND STOP 4 HUN BULLET
John Wacan Writes of His Battle Experience British
Front in France

Would you like to read precisely
how it feels to get shrapnel wound
in your leg? Are you interested in
hearing the sensations of an Ameri-
can boy waiting to go over the top
and the charge on a German trench ?
If so read this account of John
Wachtman, a West Fairview boy,
graduate of Technical High School,
whose narrative has already APP
peared in the Tech Tattler. Wacht-
man was so keen to get in the war
that he did not wait for America,
British army. He writes so easily
and vividly that his letter is ex-
tremely entertaining.
1--WE had just gone in again
after a weeks rest in a little
French village about % miles behind
the front line. To be sure we had
been vaguely promised a six-weeks'
rest, but most of us had had too
many previous pipe dreams of this
sort dispelled to feel much disap-
pointment, and then again the So
called rest is only a pleasant name
for plenty of hard work and drill.
So on the whole it was only the
rockies or first timers who did
more than the ordinary amount of
complaining, or in the 'Tommies'
'grousing.' e
Before marching off we had been
told that this time we would have
it easy, as we were only going in
to act as reserves and besides there
would be no attacking but just the
ordinary routine of holding the
line And now after the usual
night journey over shell-battered
and debris-strewn roads and the
usual blasphemous floundering
through narrow, muddy communi-
eating trenches strung with tele-
phone wires possessed with a devil
ish cunning for tripping or entang-
