continuous treatment is expected to
result during the war in the saving to

SOCKS FOR c co.
REACH FRANCE
Captain Steller Says Boys
Are Grateful for Gift;
None Lost in Fight.

"The socks are arriving and can.
not tell you how much good the boys
will receive from them"
Thus writes Captain Edward Stel-
ler from a French hospital to The
Courier regarding the hundreds Of
pairs of socks that the good women
of Ottumwa knit and bought for the
boys Of G Company now at the front.
Few appeals have been met with
such a generous and ready response
as was that for the socks.
One of the G Company boys in writ
ing to his mother told her the greatest
need among the lads was for. socks
and more socks"
COURIER SHIPPED THEM OVER
The Courier sounded the appeal and
number Of mothers and wives of the
soldier lads formed committee to
gather and ship the socks which were
sent or brought into the office. The
Courier sent them without cost to the
donors to the boys of G Company in
care of Captain Steller.
BOYS ARE DOING FINE
The news that they are arriving will
be joyful information to them. Better
yet will be the news contained in Cap
tain Stellers letter that despite the
fact that "our boys have been and are
taking their turn in the thick of the
fight, none has been lost and those
who were hurt are coming through fine
and dandy
Closing he says, Thank the folks
for us and tell them G Company mem
bers are all fine"
Captain Steller's letter was written
March IA, hence it made pretty good
time. 1t was censored by himself and
whYt short will be source of COM
fort Joy to the families and friends
of ",xry pA,s"

YANKEES HOLD
LINE IN CRISIS
American Engineers, Great
" Outnumbered, Fight To
Death In Great Battle.
fBy Associated Pres Stan
Cnrrespondentl

British Army Headquarters In
France, April lit, is now possible to
tell of spectacular feature OF a bril-
liant British defense last week below
the Somme 1t is the story of a little
army composed largely Of assortments
OF troops who were hastily assembled
in a great crisis and who successfully
held vital stretch of the front against
furious German onslaughts until rein
forcements could arrive. In this gal
liant force were included American rail-
way engineers who. as in the battle
of Cambrai last November, threw aside
their tools and took up arms IN de-
tense of the allied colors.
AMERICANS IN THICK OF IT
II was last Tuesday afternoon at a
critical moment when it was absolute
ly necessary that more troops should
be thrown into the British line to hold
the onrush of Germans. Reinforce
ments were on the way but Gould not
arrive in time. There was no time to
lose and a certain general Immediately
organized force collected from the
various units nearby, in which were
the Americans.
Fifteen hundred followed the lead
their dashing brigadier into the swirl
ing battle line where they were strung
over front of 1900 yards against
which hordes of Germans were flung
It seems almost inconceivable that
these defenders. brave unto dea I,
though they were, could have been abl
to hold that long sector, but they did.
ALLIED LINE HOLDS
The enemy advanced in force and
hurled themselves time and time again
against the British line in this region
but they found no weak spot. This
composite force stood gallantly and as
i well as their comrades to the right
and to the left. They clung on fol
many hours until the regulars came
| up. This is sample OF the fighting
spirit which allied soldiers are show
! ing in this time of stress.
This incident is more spectacular
but hardly finer in spirit than that OF
seven British soldiers. These lads
had been home in England on leave
and on landing at channel port ir
France could find no transportation tc
the front. Did they sit down and wait
They did not. They tramped almos
every foot of the way to the battle
lines to take their places beside theil
lizard pressed comrades.
