UAV6 NEAL oAu lie
The next day was the day which
will never be forgotten by G company.
About IL p. m. our artillery opened UP,
and for seven hours the Huns and
Americans had real battle, with the
big guns. Gee, but 1t was great to be
running back and forth in the battle.
The sky was red with flames. and the
air dense with smoke. The shells were
hitting all around, and whistling over
head. They seemed to say I want you
but they didn't seem to have the right
address, because Company G lost no
men. A few were gassed but not bad.
Now we are back to thirty days rest,
and wild to be in it again"

MISS kAVANAUGH ID NURSE TANKS
 IN FRANCE
ARIZONA YOUNG WOMAN Fo@ SEVERAL MONTHS EMPLOYED BY FOOD ADMINISTRATION HAS LEFT FOR PORT OF EMBARKA- TON FOR ZONE OF FIGHTING
Special to The Review)

FLAGSTAFF, July 29.-Answering the call of suffering humanity in war stricken Europe, Miss Mary Kavan- augh, who for the last several months has been serving as chief of the ac- counting division of the federal food administration for Arizona, left yester- day for an east-coast port for imme- diate authorization to France.
 At the opening of the war Miss Kay anaugh enlisted in the Los Angeles unit of the American Red Cross. Ever since that date she has been waiting impatieEtiy fer the word that would send her flying across the Hun-perilec Atlantic to act the Good Samaritan to wounded and dying soldier lads, to suffering women and half-starved kid dies of the war zone.
 Day after day Miss Kavanaugh pur- sued her duties at the office of the food administration with the great longing burning in her heart that be- fore another sun she might receive the long delayed summons for depart ure.
 Many disappointments were in store, however, for though she received warnings and notifications galore, and though much red tape was wound and unwound and rewOund, repeated de- lays were the only rewards for her eagerness. During all this period she kept in close touch with the telegraph office and her baggage was kept hacked that she might leave on an hours notice.
 This week the long expected mes sage came. q am delighted to be off," Miss Kavanaugh told her friends here as she boarded her train. ''I feel more strongly than ever that l am needed lover there" and the sooner I can get cross the better 1t will suie me-
 Miss Kavanaugh has not allowed herself to picture the possibility of danger. CT used to get chills thinking how cold the water of the ocean would be in winter" she laughingly ex- plained, but now that I have been

compelled to wait until summer this feeling has left me and I fear nOth- ing"
 Miss Kavanaugh joined the food ad. ministratiOn forces late last year at the time Fred J. Elliot was named food conservation chairman. Previous to that time she had acted as his pri- Yate secretary. having been connected with the law firm of Alderman & Eli ott of the Globe-Miami district for eight years. MT. Elliott gave up his practice to enter war work and his secretary went with him.
 As a worker in the food administrR- tration Miss Kavanaugh has ever taken a heartfelt interest in her serv- ice, which from a technical standpoint alone, have been of inestimable value. according to officials of that office.
 Miss Kavanaugh is we'll known sin Phoenix, Globe. Miami and Los Aug eles, and sheh as many friends throughout Arizona and California.
 She is a sister of Mrs Frank Car lock and Mrs. Clifford Corp of Globe. Miss Katherine Kavanaugh of Los An geles and Mrs. William R. Bond of Fort Thomas, Kentucky. -t-

MORE RECRUITS ARE NEEDED OR DRILL
 MUST CEASE
LOCAL BUSINESS MEN WHO HAVE BEEN DRILLING UNDER TUTEL- AGE OF COMPANY L HAVE DROP PED OFF 10 SUCH EXTENT MORE MUST BE ENLISTED

Military training has been conduct ed at the camp of Company l., Thir- ! ty-fifth infantry, near Lowell, for tHc past two or three months, for the ben eft of any civilians who wished to take advantage of this opportunity The class al the beginning had be tween thirty and forty men, but ow- ing to various causes the number has diminished until it is necessary to eith CT secure new members or be unable to obtain the advanced training, with the small number now attending the classes. The larger the number of men who will attend the classes. the better, as with the required units O thorough drilling in all the maneuvers and formations will be given. If enough beginners can be obtained to warrant, z. class for new men will be formed, so those who have had no ex- perience whatever need not Ee back sible after a little preliminary train ing the new men will be placed among the older ones and given the same drilling. The training is exactly the same as given in the regular army and is thorough in every way. In addition to the regular drilling formations, a short time is devoted to physical exer- else in the form of rifle drill. This alone is worth trying to secure, as it is certainly mighty fine exercise espe- cially for the fellow who works in an office or store all day. Instruction is given in the use of the rifle and bay onet; also the automatic rifle and ma chine gun,>one trip already having been made to tbe rifle range with ma chine gun. and other trips are planned to give target practice with all the different arms. Aside from the mill tary training which is obtained, with small effort, attending these classes does a man a lot of good in many ways, and for the man who expects to be called to the service of his country, he is overlooking a fine opportunity if he does not take advantage of these classes. There is no military obligation attached to a mans attending, other than that he does as he is told while there.
 Training is held on Monday, Tues day, Thursday and Friday evenings O. each week, from 6:3e until 7:45, and out of this hour and fifteen minutes you will get some of the best training, also the best sport, you could possibly have anywhere.
 Come on down tonight (get there at 6:30 sharp) and see If we can't have a good big crowd so that we can go ahead with this training and wlezl the time comes that we are called to go to camp we will have a good big edge on the fellows who didn't have the interest or ambition to get this preliminary training. There is nothing but good to be gained by going down to Company L's camp, and the men who can go should do so and show that they appreciate the opportunity that the officers of the company, especially Corporal Jenkins are giving us Come on sIackers. it doesn't mean that you have to fight just because you take this training. but it does mean that you will be darned glad you took 1t if the time comes you have to fight.
