WOOD TELLS OF WAR DEEDS
Maj.-Gen. Leonard Wood Says seth
Unit Captured 1000 Boche Pris-
oners Without Loss of Man.

Kansas City-The S9th division, rep
resenting many mid-western states in
the expeditionary forces, was the first
American unit to take over sector
without British or French supervision,
Maj Gen. Leonard Wood, commandant
at Camp Funston, Kas. who prepared
the men for military service, said in
an address here.
"At last reports" Gen. Wood said,
"the 89th had captured 1000 boche
prisoners without the loss of man. A
document captured by this division tes-
titles as to its efficiency. 1t was an
order from the commander of the Ger
mans facing the seth and said new
American division was before them,
fresh in service, but unusually eff
cient.'
$50 far as the army is concerned"
Gen. Wood continued, "the nation has
been dry We could not have accom-
plished 80 per cent of the work we did
if it had not been. Our men in the
camps always were fit and ready for
work, due solely to the fact that the
camps were dry"
He concluded with plea for univer-
sal military service.

Writes of How Belgium and French
People Enjoy Freedom.

Oakland, Cal-Granville A. Lansdell,
letter to his sister, of this city, tells
how the people of Belgium and France
enjoyed their first day of freedom,
after four years of the Hun oppression.
Lansdell was detailed with his colo

following retiring enemy troops close,
ly. They rode into town from which
the Germans had departed only few
hours before.
Cant you picture me riding through
a town with people on both sides, all
cheering and shouting like mad?" he
writes. Royalty is not in 1t. When
we stopped one crowd surrounded the
colonels car and another my motorcy-
Gle. l shook hands until my wrists
ached.
"They brought me out drinks, dec
grated me with flowers; took off my
cap and shoulder badge for souvenirs,
and finally dragged me off to house,
sat me In chair while madame played
God Save the King and the 'Marsel-
laise.' Then came the cheering aud
finally they drank my health"
However, his principal trouble seemc
to have come when young French
man with whom he had been on scout
ing tours and in the trenches, bado
him farewell kissing both cheeks with
great abandon. "And l blushed like
young schoolgirl" writes the young
hero.
