Dear Mother:
1 received your letter yesterday
Have been getting your letters about
15 days apart, but have been on the
move so much that l have not been
able to write. Have been gettins
the papers you sent, viii you send
me some magazines? We don't get
much to read over here. Don't send
any packages for l will not get them

where.
l have been over the top seven
times and am ready to so over again
We go over the first wave and have
hot time of it. The last time
was the worst of all-lots OF cannon
and machine guns we're on the line
night and day. We hiked about 40
miles in the last two days and we
are some tired and sore. We have
been on the go ever since February
Is. We're in the trenches at ST.
Mihiels sixty days and out ten. On
the lines at Chateau-Thierry forty
days, Over the top at Scissors
In the trenches at Toul Sector. Over
the top at st. Mihiels and last and
worst of all was the battle of Blanc
Mon Ridge near Argonne Forest on
the Champagne front. We were
there for eight days and nights fight
ing all the time. We carry tele-
phones and string out lines as We
advance. T. P. S. and visual sig
mails is the best way of communica-
tion.
They raise lots of sugar beets in
this country, but they haven't any
factories.
Dan Kelley is in the hospital over
here but will not be able to see
him, as he is in the southern part
OF France and We are in the north
ern part. Sunshine" Benedict was
in this regiment but I didn't know
it until he was wounded and went
to the hospital. He was in G Co.
We have some marines in this di-
vision but have not run across
Clare yet. l saw Dwight Jewell the
other day. He is with the 37th en-
gineers. Had supper with him. We
can hear the big guns from here.
About 80 kilometers 5-S OF a mile.

Dearest Home Folks:
This is another Sunday evening.
We are lying in the channel Just out
side New York. We ought to have
gone in this morning but 1t was so
foggy we couldn't make 1t, but we
expect to get in in the morning.
We've been going around, nearly
two months. It seems like a year
We were in dry dock at Liverpool,
Eng. They certainly have some Won
derful dry docks and shipping docks
there. have made trip up to
Chester where | saw lots OF old his
ltorical things. also got to
make nice trip across to Dublin,
Ireland. l didn't think so much of
lit. It is much the same as Liver
pool. only they hold We Yanks up
much higher price for everything
than they do in England. l also
made a short trip up into Scotland,
more to see the country. Out through
the country it is very pretty and nice
and green and nice trees etc. 1t GER
tainly looked good to me after so
much water.
"The girls over there are very
different from our girls. They all
have very rosy cheeks and are not
bit witty, as are our American girls.
They all smoke cigarettes, even OF
the best families and think nothing
of it. The ladies and all use the
public bars and go in for their lunch
and their staut, which is a kind OF
beer which contains a very small
amount of intoxicant. They call us
all Yanks; everyone. especially the
weaker sex. speak to us and call out,
"Cherrio, Yank" or Hour You
Yank." They use such peculiar
phrases to express themselves.
At Liverpool. we loaded on 5000
wounded, some OF them in bad con-
dition, and about 5000 sailors com
ing home. From England, We went
to Brest, France, and coaled ship
and took on about 5000 more
troops. We were there for nearly
four days. Then we started for
home and the good old U. s. A. From
seeing other countries we learn to
appreciate our own. We had very
rough trip back. was seasick for
several days. One day l was obliged
to turn in bed, was so bad.
81 was in England at the time the
German navy was surrendered but
you know we wern't up at the scene
Of action in the North sea, but they
brought some OF them to Liverpool
and I saw them bring them in. AS
you know, I'd seen some Of their
subs in deadly action and they sure
did look like more peaceable
bunch being brought into Liverpool
harbor than they did in the war zone
sneaking up trying to get in range
to deliver us a broadsider."
The Leviathan was to leave for
France again New Years day. ! am
sure Loren would be very glad to
hear from any Of his friends in
southern Oregon. His address is U.
S. S. Leviathan, Care Postmaster,
New York City.
Father and Ulda are still. busily
engaged at their work in the Brem
erton navy yard and all enjoy the
life there very much.

Philadelphia Men
Finish ''Party'' With
Street Car Joyride

Philadelphia, Pa, May 22.-Leo
McCaulley and Charles B. McGoni-
gal, returning home from a party"
long past midnight, found" street
car standing outside the street car
barn on Huntington street and
boarded it, one acting as conductor
and the other doing duty as motor
man. Then the fun began. A third
reveller joined them. The car started
up with rush and sped down
Huntington and across Fifteenth
street, narrowly missing a north
bound car filled with workers from
the Philadelphia navy yard. After
riding back and forth on Hunting
ton street the "motorman," after
speeding the car up to the limit,
threw on the emergency brakes, and
the friction was so great that the
car caught fire. The fire was extin-
guished by street car employees.
Policeman O'Neill, who had been
chasing the car for half an hour,
finally succeeded in boarding the
car and placing the men under ar
rest. All were held under bali of
5000 each. =

South High and Commerce
Win School League Games

An attempt to give McGrath,
Central high hurler, rest, proved
fatal when South Highs base ball
team sent five men over the plate
in the second inning, winning, 7 to
8. The game is the first that the
Packer crew has annexed this sea-
son and was marked by numerous
errors by the losers in several tight
pinches.
Mangold pitched during the first
two frames. The southtown lads
had fete day off his style of de-
livery and piled up big lead. When
the regular battery was sent in in
the third stanza the Centralites held
the South High nine and began eve
ming up the tally. Two runs were
added in the fourth inning and four
in the sixth to the Central total.
Hill Of South high pitched easy ball
and famed but one man. The big
pinch came in the last inning when,
with bases full and one out, Turner
stepped up to bat. Ayers, on third,
was caught off his bag, but Turner
walked to first and filled up the
sacks again. Logan was next man
up. A neat hit landed in Chambers
NIT at second and put the kibosh
on Centrals hopes.
Commerce High also tried giving
its hurler a rest. Rokusek was sent
to the mound, but. when the score
stood 5 to 2 in Creighton's favor.
Mahoney was sent in for the last
inning. He BANKED the Creighton
men in short order. Five runs in
the last inning gave 7-to-5 victory
for Commerce.
Commerce High has won all its
games, while Central has split even
on the four. South and Creighton
have each won one and lost three.
The Central-South High battle was
staged on the .Muny lot, Thirty-sec-
ond aud Dewey, and the Commerce
Creighton game was played on the
college diamond. 5-..se

WICHITA PLAYS
BETTER BALL AND
TRIMS RouRkES
Visitors Give WaIdbauer Fine
Support and He Allows But
Seven Hits; Witches Get
Nine OFF Merx.

The Wiches sprung decided sur
prise on US yesterday, playing ex-
2cellent base ball and lacing us nice
~, 5 to 2. Pitcher Merz walked
more batters than is his habit, and
the visitors pounded out nine bin
giles. all of which helped US to the
losers portion. Four errors also
contributed to the Wichita collec-
ton of runs.
For the first time since he has
been with US, Jap Barbeau pulled a
boot and made hit. Shinkel bat
ted for Merz in the last frame and
made a nice single. Barbeau fol-
lowed him with a long single, on
which Shinkel scored from first.
Jackson spilled the beans then with
a drive along the frst-base line.
which Mueller gobbled, stepping on
the bag for Jackson's out and throw
ing to second, catching Jap by four
feet.
The Wiches made their first score
in the second inning when Merz
walked two and allowed Mueller
hit. Newasha scored on Carey's
long sacrifice fifty. The Rourkes
tried to even the count in their turn
at bat in the second frame. Kirby
singled, Gislason flied out to center
and Hale and Donica each bingled
for one base, filling the bags. when
Kirby failed to make run for the.
plate ON Donica's hit. Townsend
was on the catching line and he ap-
peared to be watching the other
runners and didn't send Kirby home
Bashang popped to first and Merz
drove the ball down to third. where
MARI gathered it in and stepped on
the bag for the force out OF Hale.
After this effort, there was no
chance to score until the final frame
when they pushed one counter
across, but could do no more. Valid
bauer, pitching for Wichita. had
world of speed, good control and
fine breaking curves. He held the
Omaha hitters at his mercy almost
throughout the game. Eddie Hazen
made the only extra base hit on the
Omaha team. Berger, the Wiches'
shortstop, connected for "a two bag
ger and a three-sack wallop.
We have the Wiches with us
again today and then Joplin for
four days, during which time five
games will be played, double-head-
er occurring on Sunday.

IONS
FOR TITLE BATTLE.
EXCEED $4,000
Within Few Hundred Dollars
of Entire Receipts at Reno;-
WilIard's Quarters to Be
Near Dempsey's.

Toledo, May 22.-Seat reserva-
tons for the championship battle
between Willard and Dempsey here
July 4 already have exceeded $780,
600, Tex Richard, promoter, an
nounced tSnight. The entire gate re-
ceipts of the Jeffries-Johnson bat
tie at Reno drew only few hun
dred dollars more than that figure,
Richard said.
Richard said if the seat reserva-
tons continued in such unexpected
numbers, the battle would draw
considerably over 100000.
Dempsey did his first boxing to-
day, stepping two rounds with
Willie Doyle, a lightweight. He
also took swim in the icy waters
of Maumee bay. Earlier in the day
he took six-mile hike on the roads.
Representatives of Willard are
considering leasing the Casino, a
club house, few hundred yards
from Dempsey's quarters, and Jack
Dempsey said he would have no OBJ
lection.
"If Willard trains there. chances
are we'll meet on the road some
morning, and I'll certainly stop and
chat with him." Dempsey said.
