IN REVIEW BEFORE:
GENERAL PERSHINC
st. Rimy Du Plain,
January 20, 1919.

Dear sister Alma:
town and the church was to service
in last Sunday. There are ruins just
little ways off from this church Of
the old church built in 1414 which
was destroyed by the Britains years
back.
I.received the registered letter last
week and was so tickled to get it.
Yesterday the 28th, was the big day
for US, and feel very proud that l
could be represented. We were view
ed and inspected by General John
Pershing, the whole 37th Division.
Surely some bunch Of men, estimated
at about $4,000. The field was just
covered with men and the inspection
took place just outside of a town by
the name of Alencon. They took us
there in trucks and it certainly was a
great trip. Three bands were playing
as we marched in front of the view
ing stand where Pershing and his
staff were.
We have been checked up on all the
clothing we have and will be issued
! new stuff that we are short. We get
all the clothing we need so we keep
good and warm.
1t has been a little cold the last
| week, but today the sun is shining
| nicely and it will soon warm up again
The winter in this country is mild
| compared with what it is back in
Minnesota. It's hardly ever below
zero so it is great for US who have
| to be out so much.
We have some great feeds here
as we can get French fried potatoes,
bread and coffee for franc, GO cents
in American money!. The Y. M. c. A.
is located in next town only three
kilos from here so we can buy choco.
lates and cookies at reasonable prices.
We have no idea when we will go
home, but we all have hopes that we
| will be the lucky ones who soon will
be on our way.
It is supper time so will have to
hustle.
With greetings to all at home,
Your brother,
Pvt. Melvin Berg,
Co. C. 136th, M. G. Bn.,

Messmer, land the moral ruin Of tens
of thousands of young men and women

caused a tidal wave of prohibition to

Causes Heavy Loss to Business
in Client

BRUSSELS. July BY the AS
ISOLATED Press)-The city of Client,
which is noted for its magnificent bo-
tanic garden, is greatly concerned
over the ruling of the American De-
partment of Agriculture, prohibiting
the importation of live plants owing
to danger of insect infection. 1t is
stated that this will mean a yearly
loss of business amounting to two
million francs.
AS no shipments have been made to
America for the last three years, it is
felt that Americans have no proof as
to the existence of insect menace and
the authorities have requested
through the Consular channels that
an American exepert be sent to Client
to test the soil and plants, in the hope
that the prohibition will be with
drawn.

G. III. Antle Was on Liner
When 1t Rammed a
Destroyer

George Harold Antle of st. Johns
bury will not be with the home boys
tomorrow to enjoy the Fourth OF
July. He is busy at Brest, France
cooking for a company of $50 mer
and has attained the rank of mess
sergeant.
In letter to his brother he Sc
that one OF the thrilling incidents OF
his voyage across the ocean is told
in the Saturday Evening Post of re-
cent date. His letter follows:
Brest, France,
June IL, 1919
Dear Brother:-
received your welcome letter
some time ago and you will have to
excuse me for not answering it be-
fore. 1t was like this. l would write
about a page and then tear it up but
l will try and finish this one.
Well, Jim, there has been little
change in our company. You see we
have always had End Lieutenant in
charge of the company until about a
month ago. Headquarters must have
got wise and gave US a regular army
officer that holds down the rank of
Captain and fine man at that
You know | have been cooking
ever since came ocross and now the
Captain gave me the ratings of mess
sergeant, as our mess sergeant went
home. How long l am going to hold
it l don't know, for it is no easy mat
ter, feeding two hundred and fifty
men and trying to please them all,
but as | have told the Captain | will
try anything once, so far as l am
getting along fine; no kicks coming
from the boys and l have been at it
now two months.
While | think Of it, if you will get
the Saturday Evening Post, dated
April 10, 1919, you will find in it the
experience we had coming over on
the Acquatania it is called, "Heroes
ALL" (but don't think that of me).
The Acouitania struck the Destroy
er about 5.55 o'clock, a. m. There
was some running around as we
thought we struck mine and looking
here and there for our life belts. 1t is
worth reading. See if you can get
a copy of it, I.
Now about what time we are go
inc home. it is pretty hard to tell.
I saw General Pershing again. He
was in camp on an inspection. We
are having good weather here now,
but thew can give US everything here,
but still there is no place like home
I guess | will see you some time
this summer.

Helen Steele, assistants, returned to-
day from a week of camping under
excellent weather conditions at Shad-

over their experiences. Seven tents
wre taken along and afforded excel
lent shelter, On two nights the girls
slept out underneath the starry
skies"
The only thing which in any way
caused "rise" was an attack of
mumps which the cook developed af-
ter two days in camp. Fortunately
the case was of the noncontagious
variety. After the departure of the
general of the kitchen, the girls took
the food material in hand and, under
the direction of Miss Vaughn, turned

Defeats NOrthside 8 to 3 In
Z Exciting Game at Mem

Memphremagog Park was the
scene of great conflict yesterday
afternoon when Sunset League, COM
posed of selected men from the North
side of Main street crossed bats with
the Southside for the championship.
Long before the hour was set for the
game to begin people began to gath
er from all directions as the game
had been we'll advertised.
Those who had been carefully sell
ected to play on these terms were on
hand early and began to get in line
for the combat, and for half hour
before the game was called put In
some good hard work practicing,
Among those gathered were found the
clerks, dentists, jewellers, cashiers,
druggists, travelling statesmen and
merchants. Their uniforms were
grand, the like could not be found in
any ball team in the U. S. A. Nc
Cauley with his Panama Hat and
white tie, with white vest, Cashier
McCarten in his spotless suit of
white, and others.
At 4.30 the game was called with
the following line up:

Jock Kirkpatrick took his place
back of the pitcher, with ten cent
perfecto. The game furnished many |
thrills, Moulton made good catch on |
a high fly by McCarten. Bond fur
nished some excitement when he tried
to steal home and was caught be-
tween bases.
Bishop put high foul up against a
passengers frontage who was stand
ing in the cabin door on the Yioca
boat that was at the dock. MCCau-
ley looked like an areoplane when he
scored. His shirt was a flying. Frost
made good catch on high fly by
Bishop in the 9th inning. During the
game q collection was taken for the
benefit of the hospital fund the result
of which $28.44 was collected. UNI
pire Kirkpatrick was jennie on the
spot as umpire His decisions are al
ways correct. He says it is safer to
call strikes after the bat begins to
swing. He knew every inch of the
grounds. When the ball went in
swimming he could tell in an instant
if it was foul ball. Mick Clark up
set post early in the game when he
went after fly, and he got it.
Every one went home feeling they
had received full value for the con-
tribution they made to the Hospital
Fund.
