Letters From
Our Soldiers
From CORP. F. E. WIGGINS
To his Mother, Mrs. Sadie Wilson.
Trier, Germany.

Trier, Germany.
Jan. "a, 1919.
Dear Mother and All:
Will now take time to answer your
most welcome and loving letter | re-
ceived last night, which you wrote Dec.
9th, and was glad to hear from you
and that you are all well, as this letter
leaves me feeling fine also, and we are
getting along fine here in Trier. Our
company is doing electrical and me-
chanical repair work now instead of
building roads and bridges to get the
heavy guns up behind the Infantry SO
they would have support. Most of the
time we were right up behind the In
fantry where the mhchine gun bullets
were pretty thick and more than once
the Huns shelled us pretty hard with
their 6. l. cans or whiz bangs as we
called them over here, and our Sleep
ing quarters consisted of our shelter
tent, for overhead, to keep the sun off
but the sun very seldom shone, but we
had lots of rain instead SO they came in
quite useful but even at that there
would be from to 6 inches of water in
the holes where we slept, or tried to;
we most always dug the holes ourselves
about Is inches deep SO when we laid
down we were protected from sharpnel
unless thew got direct hit on US which
they did not happen to do, but our tents
looked like sieve lots of times when
we would get up after our wonderful
nights rest Of four or five hours for you
can imagine how much sleep we got
when the shells were landing that close.
Well, this is all on the war for this time
as il is over now and am very glad
that it is, but have received two or
three letters lately asking if had seen
any active service or not, so thought
would write just a few lines on the
question, SO that you can have some
idea what the 310th Eng'rs were doing
as we were of the 85th Division, and |
saw few clippings of Detroit paper
that the 85th was training in the S. o.
S. but We were not, as we were used
as corps Engrs. Now A, B and c, Co.
OF the 3l0th are in Russia, and d, E, F,
were left in France, and we are now

many. We travelled all the time on foot
so have seen quite little of these
foreign countrys, France, Belgium
Luxenburg and Germany, and also
England, as we landed at Liverpool.
Well, mother, am sending you some
postal cards Of Trier, in another en-.
velope. Will close for this time, with
love. Your son, Floyd.

School Notes

Commercial Dept.-The pupils of the
Shorthand department are doing won
derful work. They are aiming for prin-
ciple and accuracy more than speed.
Nothing but perfection is allowed. They
are having reading, dictation, and trans
cription of articles. Some of the articles
are, "A Canadian Aviator's Letter."
"Stick to Your Dream" 1.-THE Value Of
Enthusiasm" and "Woolen Manu-
facture in New England" They are
also having reading and transcription
of business letters. There is always a
grand rush for typewriters after school
as there are so many who wish to type
write.
The pupils of the Bookkeeping class
are doing individual work, since some
progress more than others. They have
the fundamental principles of Book
keeping thoroughly learned. They are
having tests and review questions, and
must give reason for everything they
do, so that they do not do anything me-
chanically.
Domestic Science.-The girls of the
Domestic Science class still serve
lunches at noon. They have paid the
bill of $14, resulting from the two din
ners given to the School Board and the
faculty last term, and there will be
extra money to purchase new muslin
curtains for the Domestic Science room.

Some Arizona History

Cattlemen and COW boys were
practically unknown in northern
Arizona in 1864. There were a
few beef cattle owned by the
government. The first man to
go into the cattle business was
James G. Golfer, who went into
the cattle business in this coun-
ty, now Apache county, in the
latter part of the seventies, so
says Col. Banta, who was here.
Fort Whipple was first estab-
lished in Chino valley and later
moved to its present site. The
first issue of the defunct Arizona
Miner was printed at Whipple.
Chino valley. Whipple W a S
moved to its present site from
Chino in May, 1864. The post
has always been called Whipple
and was named after 1t. Whip
pie, of U. S. A. engineers, who
made a reconnaissance through
on the 35th parallel in 1853

The little Mormon chapel at
Alpine, which was finished and
dedicated about three years ago,
burned to the ground Thursday

though SMALL. was a real fine
one and Alpine people regarded
it with justifiable pride.
Since writing the above we
have learned that the building

NAME OF HARRY c. HOPKINS
BELONGS ON HONOR ROLL

Last week The Patriot printed an
horror roll of Putnam soldiers who
gave their lives for their country in
the World War. There is no authen-
tic record Of these men in the town
books so far as known, and the only
way to get them is by publication in
the hopes that some person who
knows of a name will see the list and
make the correction. Such has been
the case since The Patriot published
the honor roll last week
The name of Harry C. Hopkins
should be added to the roll, as he was
wounded in the Argonne Forest, Oct.
5th, 1918, and died of his wounds

truck that when this was deae the

classification as Danielson has. This
is class C with rate of 46 cents and

BASE BALL
Putnam Won 2 to l in An IL Inning
Game.

Not only We're the fans treated to
an overtime game last Sunday, but
they saw some OF the cleanest, snap
piest, prettiest base ball ever exhibit
ed on the Putnam base ball field when
Putnam won from the Corbins of
Webster in the 18th inning by score
of 2 te l.
Putnam had one run tucked away
and 1t was not until the seventh that
CeFbins hung one on the score board
This came when a runner bumped first
oaseman Happy Lenehan and before
he could recover the ball Webster
runner came over the pan.
Up to the eleventh it was even
breaks. The score that won the game
came after MeBeth had hit safe and
been sacrificed to second. Porter
connected for two sacks and the win
ming run scored.
Pitching honors were about even.
Webster made eight safeties off
Walsh, while Putnam got seven off
Connolly
Among the star plays was Ions
running catch by right fielder Dronin
The fielder fell down, turned over
but came mp holding the ball. The
catch shut off two runs. Eddie Pal

Aid For Armenian And
Syrian War Victims
tFrom W. O. Anderson. Jr.

Beginning next Sunday, Maryland
will be asked to stand by and give
her aid 10 1000. 600 starred Arme-
MAN and Syrian var victims who
will perish unless food, clothing and
medical supplies are furnished them
/ People OF Maryland have had mild
winter-such Il winter aa they have
| not known for many years. The PEG
pie Of Armenia are induring hard
winter weather. Maryland's people
are we'll supplied with food. clothing
and fuel. The ArmenianS and Syri-
an eXiies have little Of any of these.
! The situation is obvious.
OF the four million war sufferers
in Western Asia, the bulk are practi-
cally without food, clothing or shei,
ter, the vast majority helpless women
and children. More than million
and half OF these people have been
deported. Nearly another million
have been brutality murdered and
massacred. In addition four hun
dred thousand children have been
orphaned.
1t is a fact that practically no more
children under the age Of five years
are left, all having persisted from
Exposure and disease. Among these
people, patriotic, proud and lighters,
for every hundred births there are
two to three hundred deaths. The
mediately after birth, their mothers
having nothing to give them but
tears. Deaths from typhus, dysen
terry, tuberculosis, other diseases, land
famine are increasing with appalling
rapidity.
The homeless, largely pitiful
stream of women and children, wan
der aimlessly through the streets of
their wrecked villages. If you stop
"a child toward evening he will tell
you, Il am searching for place to
sleep"
All winter these people have slept
in hooks and corners, their clothing
the merest rags. The women clasp
their wan-faced children to their
breasts and on their faces is written
the pitiful story OF their despair.
The scenes in these lands are be-
yond the power of imagination.
There is no JOY of victory in
cries of an agonized people to whom
these distraught lands; but only the
peace has brought neither benedic
ton or blessing; neither rest nor
respite.
No sons, no fathers, no brothers
are returning victorious to their
homes in Armenia or Syria, for their
villages have been RACED and ruined
and the men have been murdered or
Ideported.

euphemism for the most heartless
and most relentless cruelty. Depor-
tation means the loss of home, bust
ness property and every personal pos
session. 1t means being driven into
desert places, forced to march at the
point of the bayonet; it means being
refused shelter, food and drink and
being subjected to outrage and cruel
ty
The people of Maryland have new
er known of such terrible things at
first hand: they have only read OF
them.
Maryland will be asked for $780,
600 to keep these pitiful exiles alive,
to bring them through the winter
and return them to their homes.
