PRIVATE LESTER N. FOLTZ
GAVE HIS ALL FOR u. s.. A.

The sad news came to Mrs. Russo
Stevens last week that her oldest
brother, Lester N. Foltz, had died OF
pneumonia in a hospital in France
He was called to the colors July "a
1918, the last time anyone of this
part of the country saw him he had
a smile for them. That was the 25th
of July as the train passed through
Tyrone, taking him with the other
boys to Fort Oglethrope, Ga, where
he went into training.
He was held there until the latter
part of September when he was
moved to France, arriving there the
first part of October.
No word was received from him
after he arrived over seas only thru
a comrade who wrote that he was
sick when he arrived, and went to
the hospital.
Lester was one of the best of
young men the writer has ever known
always ready to help in any way he
could and he numbered his friends by
his acqaintances. He was to the
writer more of a brother than
friend. His greatest desire was to
go across and help finish the Hun,
but death overlook him before his
desire was realized.
Yet he did his bit as much so as
if he had gone over the top and been
killed in action, and no one would
have done their share of going over
the top more willingly than he.
Had he lived until December Both
he would have been 20 years of age
His early departure will be keenly
felt by his relatives and a host of
friends in Nabisco neighborhood
where he has been a continuous resi-
dent for the past thirteen years.
He is survived by his parents, Mr..
and Mrs. C. B. Foltz, two brothers,
Merritt and Chris, and sister, Nyleta,
all of Two Buttes, Colo, and three
other sisters, Mrs. Will Hadden of
Grand Junction, Colo, Mrs. Russell
Stevens of Tyrone, Okla, and Mrs.
Ben Spencer of Dilworth, Oklahoma.
Thus the war has exacted its first
toll from these parts. The sympathy
of all go out tol the bereaved rela-
tives. "A Friend.

LAWRENCE WINNERS
CHAPLAIN WRITES
Speaks in Glowing Terms of Praise
of Liberal Boy Who Died
at The Front. 81.

Mrs. M. NJ. WINNER is in receipt
of the following letter from the
Chaplain of the company of which
Lawrence WINNER was a member:
Headquarters 353rd Infantry
American E. F., Sept. 10, 10.
My Dear Mrs. Winner:
WINNER, was killed in action in a
recent attempt of the enemy to pierce
that part of the line held by his COM
pany. By the splendid work of the
men associated with him the enemy's
attempt was unsuccessful. Our adj
miration and gratitude go out to the
men who have done so much for the
safety of our nation.
Your son had the confidence and
esteem of his commanding officers
and of the men of his company. We
knew him as a man worthy of esteem
who had attained the very responsible
POSITION of Sergeant, and who could
be depended upon to perform his
duties in the best possible manner
| knew your son personally, and
cannot but feel that the mother of
such son constitutes the reason
why any and all of us stand ready to
give, to the extent of your sons
offering, all that we have, because
our mothers are the kind of mothers
they are.
We buried your son on recent
Sunday together with two companions
of his own regiment, in military
cemetery close by. The regimental
commander and an honor squad of
the Regiment were present, and we
left them with the others who make
the soil of France a sacred place to
US.
We extend to you our sympathy
mixed with a sense of honor for your
family for what he was privileged to
suffer and do so in the cause of our
homeland.
Sincerely yours,

Lufberry Lost Life in
Trying to Bring DOwn a
New German Air Monsfe,

Paris, May 21.-It was while try
ing to bring down a new German
giant of the air that Major Lufbery,
the American aviator, lost his life.
He had asker the chance at the
Teuton foe-a Boche flying tank
after comrades had found their at
tacks futile. l nthe morning a giant
plane appeared over the American
airdomes. 1t was moving slowly.
Two Americans started after it and
two others followed. At height of
about $500 meters the Americans
found themselves face to face with
a giant German plane with a wing
spread of sixty feet, carrying a pilot
and two gunners, and driven by two
engines. The gunners wore armor
and occupied protected positions.
Each manned heavy machine gun.
In vain. the American fighters sent
streams of bullets against the new
enemy. Other Americans Joined in
the attack and the scene, in full
view for many miles. looked like
lot of swallows pecking at a giant
bird of prey. Lufbery asked per-
mission to try against the monster
machine and it was given him.
