I'VE hit them so hard they real
ly didn't know what was coming
off," writes Private +. ]. Powers
with the American expeditionary
forces In France to his mother,
Mrs. James Powers. 2734 Eighth
avenue.
His letter, written after the sign
ing of the armistice, is appended:
Il am dropping you a few lines

alive and that | am feeling fine at
present We were on the front IN
til the last minute and that was
Nov. IL at IL o'clock. The last
two or three days of the war it was
hard work to keep in touch with
the Dutchmen because they were
retreating SO fast The Thirteenth
field artillery was in the battle
from the time il started until it
was finished. 1t surely made a
fine showing as you will find out
by reading the record the Fourth
division has made for itself during
the war
I'VE started into this war at Cha
teau Thierry Aug. 4. After leaving
there we went on the Toul sector
at ST. MihieI where we had a walk
away with the Germans. We hit
them SO hard and so suddenly that
before they knew what really was
coming off the Americans had Ia
ken all their detectives and also
had the Boche army in full retreat
ahead of them right up to Metz
where they let up on them for a
while.
From the TouI sector We went
TO the Verdun sector where we
took up positions opposite hill No.
304 and Dead Mans hill. These
hills, You will rem ember, were the
ones that the French and Germans
battled so hard to get possession
of in 1914 and 1916. Well if you
have been following up this war
dope you have seen that 10 did not
take the American army long to de-
eide who was going to take these
positions.
I'VE started to lay the fireworks
into Fritz's army shortly after
on the morning of Sept
26 and kept it up until Sunday
when the doughboys went over the

Of the terrible HindenbuFg line.

line of defense we chased them as
far as the towns of Montafacun
and Cemissy the first day out This
town of Montafaeum WAS an obser-
walton post and one OF their strong
holds. The French said that no
troops could take this town by
storm but that they would have to
land II. The Americans, however,
showed them different Here is
where the Fourth division got most
of its credit for being one of the
best divisions in France, They
stormed this position and took 1t to
the surprise of the French, who
said that any troops who could take
a position like that one, could take
anything the Germans had, and that
was Just what the Fourth division
did every time it went on the lines.
"OId Kaiser Bill sure did try hard
to stop this division but try as he
would he had nothing that could
do the job. At times We had three
and four of Germany's crack divi-
sions against US but that did not
seem to make any difference and
the old Fourth seemed to ramble
right along On its heels. We fol-
lowed the Germany army through
out the entire Verdun drive which
ended for us at the town OF Muir
veaux where we fought them up I'M
til the last months of the war.
After being relieved off the
front we went to the rear to be
reequipped and refitted for this oc-
cupation work so at present we are
on our way into Germany to take

forts, which, l do not know.

ATTACKS PLANS
ON STATE BODY
Secretary Of the Illinois Farmers
Institute Against Absorption
OF Society.

Springfield, Ill. Dec. 27.-AttRck-
ing the proposed abolition of the
Illinois farmers institute and its
absorption by the state department
az agriculture, H. L. Young. secre-
tary of the institute, in an open
statement declares the time is not
ripe for such action.
The plan to repeal the state law
creating the farmers institute has
teen suggested by Charles Adkins,
director of the state department OF
agriculture. who advocates eonsoi-
idation of the work of the institute
with that performed by the Illinois
association which is
made up of county farm bureau Or
CARNATIONS.
The Illinois Agricultural associa-
zion, according to Mr.. Young, rep
resents only % out of the So coun-
ties having farm bureaus, whereas
the farmers institute serves every
county in the state by a system of
congressional district representa-
ton on the board of directors.
Consolidation of the institute
with the state department Of agri-
culture would do away with an or
Ranization which has a record of
constructive educational achieve
ment unsurpassed in the annals of
Illinois agriculture" Says Mr..
Young. The work of the institute
speaks for itself and until the farm
ers of the state are agreed upon
some change which would unques-
tionably make for better and more
efficient results it should be con-
tinued as an independent farmers
organization"

Paris, Dec. 23.-King Nicholas OF
Montenegro intends to visit Prosi-

Speaking to the Associated Press
correspondent, the king said:
"The aspirations of Montenegro
are in common accord with those of

tonomy, independence and customs.

might be called the dean of the Jugo-

its independence. fighting for five
centuries against Mussulman oppres-
sion. Montenegro never has ceased
to shed its blood, and in the begin
ming of the great war showed its SOL
idarity with Serbia's cause. In 1911
the whole Montenegrir population

of its Inhabitants, is the largest pro-

Montenegro was fairly exhausted

series of privations. Our dead on
the battlefields number about 10,-

When asked for his opinion on the
proposed league of nations and other

said:

OVATION PROMISED }
PRESIDENT IN LONDON
SOVEREIGN'S ROYAL CAV
AIRY AS ESCORT.
Streets Gaily Decorated With
Venetian Poles Surmounted
With Golden Spikes.

London, Dec. 24.-(By British
Wireless Press.)-When President
and Mrs. Wilson arrive here on
Thursday afternoon, they will be
driven from Charing Cross station ia
| Buckingham palace through streets
| lined with the crack troops of the
| British army. All have been selected
| from famous guard regiments and
will be accompanied by gunners and
contingents from the admiralty and
royal air forces.
During all of the ceremonial, visits
that the president will make, he will
be followed by the sovereign's escort
of royal household cavalry. -
The whole of Friday has been re-
served for conferences between the
president and the British minister's
of state. These meetings will prob
ably take place in Downing street,
where the premier's official residence
is located. @.
A great and enthusiastic welcomS
awaits the presidential papty in fsonS
don. where theyHwill be met at the
station by King George and Queen
Mary.
The London correspondent of the
International News Service wires:
1.-THE thoroughfares from the rail-
way station to Buckingham palace
are decorated as though for corona
tion. The streets are the gayest in
years, with Venetian poles wrapped
in crimson and surmounted with
golden spikes They are set seventy
five feet apart and are linked up with
festoons and allied flags form multi
colored chains of color from the net
work of n triumphal canopy.
All London is on tiptoe for the
presidents coming, hoping to outdo
the Paris populace in demonstrations.
There will be only seventy guests
at the government dinner at Lam
caster house, but they will be among
the most prominent men of the ma
tion.
Arrangements for the banquet Fri
day night in honor of President Will
son are similar to those made for the
king of Denmark during his recent
visit to London. The banquet room
in Buckingham palace is decorated
in white and gold and has some of
the finest tapestry in existence. 1t
is the largest room in the palace.
There is a throne in one end, but
this probably will be hidden Ivy
flowers. In the other end is an or
gan loft. which will accommodate
the orchestra on the night Of the
banquet.
The substitution of the dinner to
be given by Premier Lloyd George
for the banquet which was to have
been given at Lancaster house on
Saturday night means it will be IL
much smaller and more intimate as
semblage. the president meeting only
a small body of men from the impe-
rial war cabinet.
1t has been decided Mr.. Wilson will
dine with King George at Bucking-
ham palace Monday evening. He will
leave the palace at 8 o'clock Tues
day morning, pass through lines of
troops on his way to the station ana
take his train for Dover It was an
nounced today the reception at Guild
hall Saturday will occur in the great
hall instead of the library. This will
enable a much larger company TO
witness the ceremony incident to the
presentation of the address to the
president.
