Federatde Pastor Writes
Editor Free Press ] do not know
whether your invitation to q discussion
on, "'The Church situation in Grange
ville,' was intended to include the min
listers or not: but l am going to assume
that it was, and hereby express my
pleasure, and also want to say word
of hearty approval and commentator
for the suggestion which you made,
namely, that regular attendance at
church is a habit that will hurt no one.
think you might safely have gone fur
Their without giving anyone occasion
for offense. Though stranger | am
going to venture considerable further.
The habit of regular attendance at
church is not only hbit that will harm
no one, but one that nquestiOnably
will do much good not only to the person
who attends, but, also, to the church
and the community.
The refining, uplifting influence and
cultural effect of such habit consis-
tently persisted in for a period of
years is beyond computation. So, also
is its effects in giving strength and eff
ciendy to the influence and work of the
church. And it needs to be positively
and Enthusiastically understood that the
church cannot accomplish the work it
ought to do in and for the community
without the support of such a habit ON
the part of the people, especially the
business and influential men of the COM
If the intimation in your editorial
that such is not the case in this commun
ity is correct (and L have no reason
to question it, it is a very serious and
lamentable condition, and one that
ought to be and can be changed. Aside
from sny consideration of denomination
br creed, the community in which, such
a habit is maintained by majority OF
the people for a period of years will be
very different and very much more
desirable community in which to live
and rear a family than the one n which
the people have not such habit
May I add that I am here, among
other things, to help in the creation OF
such q habit in this community. Let US
all pull together for this and all other
good things.

From Catholic Committee

A Catholic committee has submitted
the following:
In last weeks issue of the Free
Press was commented briefly on the at
titude of the people of Grangeville
with regard to their going to church on
Sunday. This statement was based on
the fact that in the past few weeks,
two ministers have left and gone to
other pulpits, giving as their reasons
the lack of cooperation on the part Oh
tbe nublic for their observance of the
Sabbath day.
From this however, it must not be in
ferred, that religion is on the wane IN
Grangeville, as we are informed by the
committee of the Catholic church that
their attendance on Sunday has increas-
ed 300 percent during the past twelve
months.
wv. N. Knox has contributed a
len gthy article on the church subject
which will be printed next week.

3O4TH SUPPLY TRAIN
DID HAZARDOUS WORK
Joseph LAWN Recounts Ex.
periences in Argonne and
'Montfaucon Battles

Details of the dangerous work OF the
supply trains have been given by Jo-
seph LAWN in letter TO Maurice Fin
giles, 5o7 Catharine street.
LAWN was with .he 3O4th divisional
supply train when 1t was sent to assist
the American forces attacking in the
Argonne last fall. 1t was composed OF
200 trucks. and was commanded by
Major w, T. Price.
During those exciting days" LAWN
says In his letter. 'the task of bringing
up ammunition ana reserve ordnance
fell TO the supply train, in addition to
its regular duties. The roads in the
forward area were almost impossible
and large poriion of the heavy move
ments had to be made under cover Of
darkness
I'm the advance on Montfaucon the
traffic became SO heavy that there was n
serious congestion, which threatened to
hold up the badly-needed supplies and
ammunition. The situation became 40
badI that orders were issued to push all
disabled vehicles into the bitches along
the road and to shoot all incapacitated
animals
days at stretch. drove their trucks
through heavy shellfire and did exec
lent work in picking up the wounded
and carrying them to the first-aid sta
tions.
when we were moved to the north
or Verdun the train lost many of its
trucks, due to shell fire." The letter
then recites instances of personal brav-
cry among the men. Among the Phil
adelphians attached to this train are
Frank c. Tharlsen, James J. McCarrick,
Norman II. Greene, Eugene Weiss. Har-

Camp Lee. Va, Feb. 5.-Two hundred
overseas wounded men passed through
the mastering office yesterday. Many of
them were wounded several times and
a very large percentage. perhaps more
than half. had been gassed in addition
to being wounded. The fact that some
of these men are still alive after the
most terrible wounds furnishes remarlsa-
BILE testimony OF the efficiency of the
Allied surgical staffs. Some of the men
were literally shot to pieces with shrap-
mel, but American, British and French
surgeons pulled them through.
Lewis Coffey, Forty-second Division,
Philadelphia. Pa, bears a couple OF
wounds and has been cited for bravery
He was runner who saved the day
when his command was cut off in the
Argonne Forest. Three other runners
were sent out through hail of Ger
man fire to bring up help but were
either killed or captured. He was tho
fourth runner who went out. and he got
through. although wounded, and brought
aid to his men.

"The record of the Twenty-eghth is

continued. "a large number of the men

will return and receive the laurels from

THE reception at home is the one
that counts" the colonel added.
He said further that the men were
somewhat uneasy and had miserable
time to maintain their morale when the
fighting ceased. but that they were ac-
customed to obstacles, and since the ces-
sation of hostilities have lived up to the
reputation they gained while fighting.
