SIX MEN Arc
INJURED At The
SPARTA CAMP
When the First Shot Is Fired the
Horses Think War Has Come in
Earnest and Stampede
(From Tuesdays daily.)

Five men belonging to the Three
Hundred and Thirty-second field ar
tiIlery were injured in a stampede
of horses following the first shot fired
by gunners of the One Hundred and
Sixty-first artillery brigade at Camp
Robinson. Sixty horses attached to
timbers parked in a clump of oaks a
quarter of a mile from the guns, bolt
ed at the first report and dashed
through the trees with the men hang
ing pluckily to their reins. Some of
the men we're struck down by the tim
bers and others flung violently against
the trees. It was several minutes be-
fore the animals could be controlled.
The injured are: Corporal Harry w.
Hewitt, Private James F. Quinn, Ser
geant John ]. Donegan, Private Dimi-
tri Yarmolczuk and Corporal Edward
J. Tuck. The men were carried by

Reedsburg Boy Goes Cover the
Top"

Sapper w. J. Gallagher has written
some interesting facts Of life in
France to relatives in Reedsburg. His
letter says in part:
Just finished seven days in front
line trenches. During that time had
the experience of going cover the
top" twice, also Of walking through a
half mile barrage that person would
think an impossibility. They can say
all they want about going over the
top, but l hope I never have to go
over again We took the trench the
second time, but the ferries were
too many for us, and we had to leave
it later. When we were leaving the
trenches we had to walk through a
heavy barrage. Most of our company
escaped uninjured. I was walking by
an Englishman and l turned to speak
to him when I found him standing
with his head blown eleanor. That
sure gave me a nice scare.
If it wasn't so cursed uncomforta

than back where we usually are. Fol-
over a month we were up in front OF
our batteries and they were shooting
over our heads all the time. Fritz

you don't worry about me, as | am
fine and dandy, so cheer up and en-
JOY yourselves, both of you, for I do
not think it will be long before we
are all together again. This is a great
have our ups and downs, and think
what our reward will be when we get
home again. 1t will more than repay
us for the few hardships we have now.

new man since he enlisted. He says
he feels better now than he ever did
before.

fine Sunday dinner: soup, mashed po-
tatOes, gravy, nice roast beef, bread
and mince pie, SO you see we are we'll
fed. Wish I could spend this Sunday
afternoon with you, my dear ones, but
it Will be spent altogether differently,
as I have to go on my post Of duty.
We have ball game on this after
noon. Some Of the boys went hunt
ing wild boar, so you see we have
other amusements besides killing the
Huns. The French people certainly
like us Yanks. Three of us were i'll
vited to a wild boar feed Thursday.
Gee, it seemed good to sit down to a
table and eat off porcelain dishes, and
to have mother serve it. She has
one son in the army.
1t SENS all the people here wear
wooden shoes. | am going to bring
a pair back for you, so tell dad to
look out! Last night we all got box
of tobacco sent through some tobac 20
fund. Each box had an addressed
card with the sender's name. | an
swered mine and so did the rest Of
the boys. We certainly appreciate
those things, too. I don't know what
we fellows would do if it were not for
the Y. M. G. A. I spend most all OF
my spare time in there. I saw sew
eral of the Baraboo boys in the last
few days They all seem to like it
here, and they are all looking fine.

from their son, Clarence Alberts, which
reads as follows:

Chickamaugua Park, Ga.
Dear Mother:
Will write you a few lines tonight
while I have a few spare moments.
1t is getting real warm down here now.
About as warm as you ever have it up
there, but the air is light, so we do not
feel it so much, and then it cOols off in
the evening. Our men have not left
yet, and do not know when they are
going. Some think they will keep US
all together, as we were, and | hope
they do. We are doing more hiking
around and seeing the park than drill
ing, and the lieutenant said he was
gOirg to take us all out horseback rid
ing tomorrow afternoon.
There is great scenery around here
Of the old backgrounds Of the civil
war.
How is everyone up there? l sup
pose it is getting warm up there by
this time. The potatoes down here
have been in blossom for over week
and we get strawberries to eat every
few DAYS. and lots of green onions.
Five prisoners broke out Of the Ger
man prison camp Monday, but they
have caught three so far. They have
church services here in the Y. M. g.
A, every Sunday, and moving pictures
a couple times a week, and the church
women from Chattanooga come out
here about once a week and sing and
play for us. The Y. NJ. c. AS. are great
,, things for the soldiers, as they have
so many little things that we are IN
able to get other places. Well, 1t is
getting late, so must close. Am feeling
fine. Your loving son,

My Dearest Mother and All:
Have a few days vacation, so will
write a few lines to those I love. I
am feeling fine and in few days |
will have another job. I can't tell you
what it is, but take my word it is
worth while Don't worry. l received
the socks and helmet and want to
thank both of the senders.

We all enjoy getting our mail and

Several of the boys from Madison re-
ceive the Madison State Journal, so
that comes pretty close to home Saw
by paper that Mr.. and Mrs. Cole were
callers at Madison. Just reading those
names sounds home-like to me.
Last night two ladies put on mu-
steal concert at the Y. NJ. c. A. 1t

world of good to us al over here. It
has given me a place to sleep and
has saved me from sleeping in the

Cross is also busy every day over

fore don't think that we are not re-
ceiving any benefit for the hours you
spend in either Of the above. All Of

of seventeen. The women do all the
farming in this country. They go out
and plow all day, and the plows in
this country would kill an American
if he used one very much. They are
back breakers.
You never see two horses driven
abreast. They drive one horse and
lead the other. And they drive their
horses with one line. You sometimes
see four horses all strung out on a lit
tie eight4inch plow. Takes two men to
run one. One leads the horses and
the other operates the plow.
You asked me in your letter what
you could send me. Well, [ guess
there is nothing unless you send me
some Baraboo papers. We cannot
have parcels sent to us unless we get
an order from the captain. Thanks
for the suggestion. 1t is so far to
send anything that it is liable to be
lost, anyway.
You wanted to know what I was do
ing. Well, guess you are out of luck
for finding out. because we are in
France now and cannot write every

send some out here in month or so.
They have some men all picked out

Interesting News From the Front

Mrs. Arthur Argyle has received
the following letter from her son Al
fred, somewhere in France:
Dear Mother:
AS this day is set aside as Mothers
Day and every soldier is supposed to
write to his mother, | will try and
write a longer letter than my former
letters. In your last letter of April
l you state that you have received
no letters from me since my arrival
ever here. While in England I wrote
several, and a number in France.
A week does not go by without
my writing a few words to you.
T receive your mail O. K, although it
lakes about five weeks to find me. AL
though l am detached from my COM
mand for about five weeks, [ will re-
ceive my mail when I rejOin them.
In my last letter I told you about
cur platoon of the company attending
the divisional signal school in order
to learn the different methods of COM
muncation, which is an important fac
tor in the war. Our lieutenant and
three Of US non-coms were selected to
attend the first army corps signal
school, so here we are. 1t surely
seemed great to ride in frst-class
coaches, rather than box cars, which
was our usual custom, when riding

nothing to buy in this country but
figs and dates, which I am not espe-
cially fond Of.
It surely seems odd to become a
schoolboy again and run from class
room to class room with books and
papers. For the past week we have
been studying up on physics, which
is the foundation for all our practical
work. All the apparatus that we use
we have to make diagrams of the diff
ferent parts. After supper we have
to go to our classr0Oms and write W
in our notebooks all the lectures OF
the day. The instructors are all prac
tical men, high school physics teachers
or college men. Saturday we have an
examination of the past weeks work
so Sunday is the only day for our
selves.
There are small detachments Of
about all the allied soldiers stationed
here. There are Italian, French, Al
giers, British and Russians. Las
