GIFTS FROM "Y"
HELPED DOUGHBOY

|. Corporal Irving Abrahams of New
YORK has just returned from France.
Just because the Y. M. c. A. men
overseas had gone out of their way
to treat him well, he took the trouble
to make his way to the Headquarters
Building of the National War Work
Council, Y. M. C. A, New York City.
and found some one on the 9Th floor at
Headquarters to tell how much he ap-
preciated the service of the Red TRAN
gle.
This is just a part of what he said:
L returned from France on the
9th OF January. Have been wounded
three times, Am feeling fine, but the
first time when we landed over in
France in April, 1917, we took the
position up on Chateau Thierry and
the Y. M. c. A. was right with us and
brought up on the firing line choco-
late, cigarettes. and also pears, bis
cult and done the best and all he could
just to please the boys.
And in August when we drove the
Germans back he came up under
heavy shell fire and brought US the
same chocolate, cigarettes, and if the
boys didn't have any money he would
give 1t to us just the same.
And up on the Argonne Forest he
went under heavy shell fire and
brought up all the candy and choco-
late, and also spoke to the boys to
send our money to our mothers and
which we did, and also he told us to
send our money home and he will do
all he can for us, and also the boys of
the Third Division is very well pleas
ed of the Y. M. C. A. and also thank
them ever SO much; and also when
we got relieved from the Argonne
woods the Y. NJ C. A. entertained us,
gave us a grand time, and we thank
the Y. M. c. A. with our full heart and
we shall never forget them.
so l don't see why the fellows are
coming back from France and kicking
the Y. M. c. A, and I can speak to
anybody and ask them why they are
knocking the Y. M. G. A"

vile of Burlington, n c., in his Y M.
G. A. work overseas that Major Gen.
eral L. S. Upton has written him
personal letter in appreciation of his
efforts.
Mr. Fonville has returned to his
home after ten months service with
the Y M. G. A. He was with the Fifth
and Sixth Marines and Ninth and TWEEN
ty-third infantry at Chateau Thierry,
scissors and St Mihiel. 1t was while
he was in a trench waiting to serve

that high explosive shell blew par
ticles of rock into his eye, binding it.
The same shellfire killed James A.
Birchby, Y. NJ. C. A. secretary from
Pasadena, Cal. and wounded another
Red Triangle worker, Thomas W. VIII
but, Jr., of New Britain, Conn.
The letter of appreciation that was
sent to Mr. Fonville by General Upton
read as follows: II have observed your
work as Y. M. c. A representative OF
the Ninth infantry for some time anC
wish to convey to you my appreciation
of the accomplishing and soldier-lik
manner in which you have undergone
all without the glory thai is attached

which you have done had added great
lv to the contentment of the men ant
thus to the efficiency of the com
mand"
"My experience gave me an apprec
iation of American men and what they
can go through" said Mr. Fonville
,"Our division was a shock unit. I
never went any way but forward. Our
division alone captured $4,000 prison
ers. Those men appreciated the Y.

ties it had to contend with in getting
supplies rp to the front. I have no
complaint to make about losing the
sight of one eye, that is war, but II
bewilders me to have known what

They treated me very kindly, gave
me uniform and took me with them

squadron went to France they wanted
to take me, but the war office would
not let them, so they asked No. 153d

Germany's chief peace plenipoten-
tiaries are back at Versailles today
after consultation yesterday at Spa
with Premier Scheidemann and other
representatives of the German home
government.
1t had been announced from Ber-
lin that the framing of Germany's
counter proposals to the Allied peace
terms was to be considered at the Spa
conference and it seems probable that
the final form of these proposals has
been decided upon. Germany must
present, the proposals within the
weeks extension Of time for replying
recently granted her which expires
on Thursday next.
While the Germans were absent the
peace conferees were by no means
IDLE but have been devoting much at
treaty to be presented to the Austri-
an delegates. 1t has been announced
that at plenary session Tuesday next
the treaty with Austria will be Tor
mally laid before the representatives
Of the Allied nations assembled at
Paris. The next day. it Is expected, the
terms will be handed the Austrian
representatives.

.URNESS' BODY
DISCOVERED
in RED RIVER
Drowning Victim Found
Today Half Mile Below
Riverside Park.
CORPSE IDENTIFIED
BY STRICKEN FATHER
No Trace Found as Yet of
Second Man in Double
Tragedy.


The body of Roy Urness, aged 10.
SoS Chestnut street, one of the two
young men drowned last Tuesday in
the Red Lake River, was found to-
day in the Red River about one-half
mile below Riverside Park.
1t had lodged in a pile of brush
some 25 feet from the west bank of
the river, and was discovered by
Charles Pict, residing on the east
bank of the river, a short distance be-
low.
The authorities were notified. and
Sheriff G. G. Stewart, and Odin Over
py, chief of police went to the scene
early this afternoon. The body was
taken from the river and brought to
the city where it was taken to the
Undertaking rooms of S. H. Ashley.
Body Identified.
There it was identified by John
Urness, father of the deceased.
The body was in a bad state of
preservation, the features being SO
badly swollen as to be almost un-
recognizable. The face had also been
disfigured as result probably OF
coming in contact with obstructions
on its way down the river.
Urness is believed to have been the
man who leaped into the Red Lake
river last Tuesday in an effort to
rescue the man who fell from the
dam, who is believed to have been
William Peterson. The clothing in
which the body was dressed when
found today corresponds with that
said to have been worn by the would
be rescuer.
No trace has been found as yet OF
the second river victim although the
chief of police explored the river fol
