states, when the entire city was be-
decked in honor of the conference.
He returned to the states on the Pan
anna, a good boat, but the return trip
he says, was not very pleasant, there
being an exceptionally rough sea. Just
before embarking he met number of
men of the 311th Engineers, of the
Blackhawk division, and he endeavored
to locate several Wausau men whom
he knew were in this unit. Mr.. Bene-
dict spent the last twenty-four days
of fighting at the front, and previous
to that had participated in many OF
the big offensives, among them the
one at Argonne Forest. He expects
to return to Detroit, where he was
employed prior to entering the ser
vice. Mr.. Benedict resided at Merrill
for many years.

Wars Over, Feeling

There's a sort of a jubilant feeling
now-as if the war is actually over
and as if nothing remains now but
the shouting. The conclusion of the
Fifth and Victory bond sale is proof
to the world of the seriousness of the
intentions of the United States to COM
plete it's task. In the nation it is re-
ported that instead of $4,000, 100000
asked for, almost $500, 100000 has
been subscribed. County Chairman
c. S. Gilbert. and City Chairman c. C.
Yawkey, are both satisfied with the
outcome. They deserve recognition for
their strenuous effort of the past
month to make record of which Mar
athOn county may feel proud.

"The truth is" replied Mary. Il think
she worships Jack and is jealous at
the thought of his marrying anyone.
OF course" she laughed, 81 can under

I'm glad you feel that way, DEAR"
said Mrs. s., "snd think perhaps your

tell Jack now, or wait to see how
things turn out?"
well, Jack is dear, of course, but
he's rather a worrier. Guess I'll wait.
So long, folks. I'm off to prepare for

On the appointed Tuesday, there
were several applicants. but Mary,

able air of good breeding. was conspic-
nous among them. Miss Lucretia Sc
cretly loved golden hair, too, and
Mary's hair was golden. She had al
ways liked clear blue eyes. and Marys
eyes were clear and blue. Further
more, Mary's musical talents were far
above mediocrity, and her speaking
voice. Miss Lucretia noted, was music
in itself.
In short. the fastidiouS little old
lady fell in love with the girl at first
sight, and in the months that followed
she did not regret it. Mary became
her eonfidant. and in her turn became
so much attached to Miss Lucretia that
she concluded one of her letters home
with humorous: II can't bear that

To Miss Lucretis she was Mary c.,

her from home under that name.
"My nephew Jack is coming home

Pvt. E. L. Benedict, 10th Engineers,

last Thursday to visit at the home OF

organization was sent to the front and
brigaded with the British.

'"The great German offensive of 1918
was On when we were first sent to the
'front.'" Pvt Benedict tells, ''and it was
a terrible fight. In one part of the
line the Germans broke through, gain

lance they did not find one unit of
the allies opposing them. Some in
dividuals were scattered through this
