Inkster Soldier Describes
Thrilling Chase of Hun
Submersible.

Among the interesting letters re-
ceived from the boys in France that
were written on Fathers day lover
there" is one written by Harry w.
Sell Of Inkster to his father-in-law, q.
w. Spengler of Inkster. In his let
ter Mr.. Sell describes meeting a sub-
marine:
For fourteen days we zig-zagged
across the pond with ffty-one other
ships in Jul convoy n n battle
ship of the U. S. When we were out
seven days we sighted a tramp steam
err and it was. signaled but did not
voy and made a bee line for this
steamer and when the battleship was
about one thousand yards from the
steamer they put a shot right across
the bow of the tramp steamer and
he stopped right there. Messages
were exchanged and when our naval
men were satisfied that it was a neu-
trail ship they let it proceed.
This was our first excitement.
Then two days later a submarine was
sighted and all scrambled to life RATS
lookout and 1 happened to be on the
bridge, 1 had to remain but was glad
at that, for l. saw all the excitement
from where 1 was. We all wore life
belts. When the sub was sighted
would think that the boat had a
world of power and had lost a rudder,
for they were. going like crazy, then
for the hair-raising excitement.
Rammed the "Sub."
1.-THE ship to the left Of us let go
two seven-inch shells and from all in
dications it looked to me as if we
would lose at least two Of our con-
voys. All the time the battleships
were in the center of the convoy and
could not shoot OF drop a depth bomb
for fear of hitting one Of our boats
as we were ahead at the time. Then,
zip, bang! the gun on Jul boat began
to boom, some fourteen shots were
fired and from where I stood I could
see just what effect they had, as aft
err the report I could follow the
%projectile sailing through the air and
dropping all around the sub. We
were SO close to the sub that the cap
tain thought they were going to drop
the end gate with torpedoes, so he
gave orders to ram her and the same
time to give her a depth charge, the
| answer was an explosion that rocked
our boat like a chip. A sheet of
flame-and oil and pieces rained for
the rest of our trip. The depth bomb
had lone the work, otherwise 1 would
not be here to write this"
Mr.. Sell is now company clerk and
he says he is having loads of fun with
the Germans, as they are working all
around him. He does not expect to
be able to return home Tor some time.

Well Known Teacher De-

to Paris.

The second leave which Sergeant
Esom B. Mayfield, formerly instructor
IN the Larimore city schools, has had
occasion to enjoy was one of much
interest, as at this time he visited
gay Paree" and in a letter to friends
of that city.
Plenty Of francs, and a slight
knowledge of the most interesting
and important places, were practical
ly the only Ammunition" Sergeant
Mayfield found necessary to begin his
trip with, he says, and then contin-
ues:
"rhe first thing that impressed me
when I first entered was the helter-

throngs, carriages, omnibuses and
wagons tear right through bouie-
wards and down the wide walks. No

ger. The noise and hustle makes
n believe he is in New York, but
a lack Of cleanliness, and the crowd
ed small shops soon convince us that
everything is foreign.
I'VE purchased a few Christmas
gifts at enormous prices and partook
of a meagre meal Of fish. eggs and
chocolate for which we paid SIS. AL
though there are 1000 hotels in Paris
we spent the night sitting up in
cnalrS at a Y. M. &. A. hut for lack
OF better accommodations.
1--WE mounted a Ferris Wheel not
like the Ferris wheels which are SO
prominent at the North Dakota fairs,
but an enormous structure carrying
1,400 people on a trip.
I'VE spent one entire day viewing
the beautiful parks, and in one in
stance the sandbags were being re-
moved from the notorious Arch de
Triomphe,' one of the most beautiful
Of all French passageways. We were
told that at the signing Of peace, the
chains would all be removed, permit
ting Parisians to pass to and from
through it.
Paris is still celebrating the sign
ing Of the armistice. and the entire
city is mad with joy every day from
4 p. m. till in the wee small hours
of the morning, throwing confetti,
carnival tape and all the traffic al
most ceases in the down town dis
tricts."
Sergeant Mayfield concludes his let
ter by expressing a desire to return
to the good old U. S. A. and intimates
that although fascinating, any city in
America will look mighty good to the
boys who are leaving for home in
great numbers.

Grand Forks and North Dakota have had their

Grand Forks especially has made a glorious
record. This city stood in the front ranks in all war activities and
never failed when the call came.
Business institutions in this city bore their
