SAYS He FELT LIKE
A baby ELEPHANT
On The Verdun Front When
Germans We're Shelhng;; He
Couldn't Find a Hole.

Gilbert ]. Kennen of the 357 infantry
medical detachment compares some of
his experiences ON the Verdun front to
playing baseball in a letter to his father
o. q. Kennen, 495 North 21st street,
Salem. He writes under date of Nov
25, 1918, us follows:
'tThe war is over and we come out
on top. The hast two innings the Ger
man battery gave out. Their pitchers
arms gave out entirely. We put new
man in the box and they couldn't touch
him. The last inning, all we did was
to knock home runs.
tBelieve me, 1T was some game. l
have played in several games but they
were all just like playing house com
pared to this one. Several times l
thought / was going to be let out and
have someone put in my place. pus 1
held out through all nine innings. l
knew we were going to win all the time
''The morning Of Nov. IL / was at
one of those pleasure resorts around
verdun. 1t is fine pleasure resort but
poor health resort. A man is liable TO
get loaded any time. Fritz has q very
large hardware business with Uncle
Sam and he has 9, funny way of deliv-
ering it. 1t is air transportation. When
you hear it coming through the air, IT
sounds like box car going about 6O
per, with the door open.
"At the same time person has q
desire to dive in a. hole and pull the
opening in after him. And, believe mo,
we sure did it. If there were no holes
to get in, we would make dive like
sliding for first base. When q person
is lying flat on the ground with hard
ware hitting all around, he feels about
as big as baby elephant. But st che
same time there is no hole to get into.
"But now since Fritz has filled his
order with Uncle Sam, things are more
quiet over here. 1t doesn't seem real
not to hear few big guns: We are in
a French village. Yesterday we hiked
|25 kilometers and was in new shoes
and they sure did raise the dickens with
me. We passed through corner OF
Belgium On the march.
"Dut I want to tell you am com
ing home soon, that is, as soon as pos
sible. And I think / will stay there
some time. This is my third Christmas
away from home and it seems like fifty
But nv next one will be at home.

alumna of Ohio Western university.
A large number of Salem friends of
Miss Edith Carter Kinney will be glad
to hear that she is rapidly recovering
from q recent attack of influenza.
Miss Kinney is an instructor in the
Lewis and Clark high school at Spo-
Kane
A most interesting program had been
arranged for the January meeting of
the Salem Woman's club, which was
to have been held Saturday afternoon,
but is necessarily postponed in accord
ance with the board of health regula-
tions. Mrs La Moine Clark was to have
been the speaker of the afternoon and
had chosen as her subject "Salem g
Youngest Citizen.'' 1t is hoped that
this same program may be given later,
if it is found conveniently possible to
hold two meetings in February instead
of the one regular monthly meeting.
Mr.. and Mrs. J. H. Scott have re-
turned from a pleasant holiday So
journ in Portland.
Lieutenant William d. Pearson of

county was another legislator who
promised to boost the game Incident
ally, he wanted an appropriation to i'm
prove the road between Wasco and
Moro. He, said that the county had
$4,000 with which to cooperate. He
also suggested an Improvement east
ward to Cottonwood creek to connect
with the John Day highway. The com
mission told him they would consider
these things after the session of the
legislature.
Still another legislator with peti-
tion was James Stewart of Wheeler
county, who wanted the new Service
hill grade worked. He, too, was told
that it would depend a great deal upon
the treatment of the legislature in the
matter of increased funds.
Want Paving Plan Changed
A delegation from Tillamook county
wanted the Three Rivers road plans
changed 50 as to provide for 10 miles
of l6 foot pavement, instead of nine
foot maeadam as at present provided
for. This would increase the cost from
$4,000 to $265,000, but it was repre-
sented that the county could probably
stand half of the increase. 1t was al
so announced that it was expected to
hold special election about April | on
the question of a 100000 county road
nond issue. The commissioners express
ed themselves as delighted with the co.
operative spirit shown by Tlllamook
county as it was the first in their ex
perience.
The old difficulty of locating the
highway between Newberg and Nc
Minnville was raised when John Ii
McNary of Salem appeared in behalf
Of routing the road by way of Dayton
instead of La Fayette. White the route
was about one mile longer, he asserted
that the cost of preparing the grade
would be $4,000 less. He also sale
that the work of grading coald be star
cd this year as the money would b.
provided by the farmers along tn,
route.
| The commission saw no reason fo
continuing to defer the location unit
there was some prospect Of agreemen
between partisans of the two routes.

Presently;they were back again, this

a lot of candy. 'tMother" Anderson
with there triangle on her arm and
known to every soldier who has ever
been on leave at Aix-les Bains, came up
to explain why no more sweets could
be sold to them. The two soldiers look,
