evening, by the Manchester CONNER

Of the evening, entertained the club
with few observations made abroad.
He gave a graphic description Of his
experience in getting off torpedoed
vessel, while on the way over, telling
how in the hurry of his departure he
left behind his well-packed grip, tax
ing instead that of fellow-passenger,
which was afterward found to contain
nothing but a few worthless duds. He
was especially struck with the differ
ence in all kinds of buildings in the
Old World as compared with the New.
In England everything is built with a
view to permanency. This is especial
ly true of the roads, which in spite Of
the heavy traffic, are rarely out OF re-
pair. In France the same is true,

4 REAL RUNAWAY.

A lively runaway is rare occur
renee in these days Of automobiles. but
Manchester was treated to the excite
ment Of one on Monday noon last
when team hitched to a load Of lum-
ber went tearing up Main street at
their best speed. The team, belong
ing to Harry Ryan, farmer living a
few miles east of Manchester. had
been hitched in the hitch yard on
West Main street, while the owner
was attending to some business else
where. A sudden blast fOni the noon
whistle at the power house was too
much for the nerves Of the high-met-
tied horses. They broke loose and
started for home. At the intersection
of Madison and Main street they strad-
died the lamp post standing in the mid
die of the square. The post went down
under the impact, the harness parted,
and the horses, released from their
load, continued on their way with in
creased speed, while the wagon REM
aimed suspended on the PEDESTAL OF the
broken post. A lamp post In frag-
ments and harness in ribbons were
the chief results Of the animals esca-
pade.

ROGER LEWIS RETURNS FROM
FRANCE.

Roger Lewis was one of the boys
who landed on the shores of their
native country on Easter morning,
after doing service in France. He ar
rived in Manchester on Sunday, May
4th. Roger served with the 11O am
munition train of the 35th division,
reaching France July 29th of last year
and leaving for home on April 18th.
He helped to serve the guns in some
of the battles for the possession Of
the Argonne forest, where some of
the deadliest fighting of the war took
place. On one occasion he and his
crew marched inadvertently into
nest of German machine guns, and the
boys can explain their escape only
by saying that nothing but a kindly
Providence brought them out alive.
The Democrat joins with his many
friends in extending to this young SOL
dier the heartiest welcome home.

ssRD DIVISION HOMEwARD BOUND

A dispatch to the Chicago tribune
stated that the 33rd Division, which
has been stationed in Luxemberg
since the Armistice was signed, was to
sail from Brest, France, Monday, May
5th, and that some Of the transports
may reach American ports as early as
May 18th. The 33rd Division is made
up largely of Illinois men and only a
limited number Of Iowa boys are in 1t.
Among the boys from this county who
are with the 33rd. are Ferdinand Der
icksen and John e. Hermann, of Man
chester, and Roy Hunt Of Earlville. all
of whom were in the greatest battles
of the world war, during the drives IN
the Argonne forest. The dispatch says
that the division, by good fortune,
reached Brest just about the time that
a large number Of transports were
making ready to sail westward, ana
for that reason their stay at the
French port was brief.

which pursuit he spent nearly all thu
remainer of his life. In 1911 he NOV
ed to Manchester and made his home
here.
Mr.. Edmunds was all his life 6
staunch and loyal supporter OF the
principles of the Democratic party, al.
ways taking keen interest in its var.
led fortunes. On December 10th, 1896
he married Miss Cora B. Loomis al
Oswego, New York, who deeply mourns
her loss. Last December, as Mr.. Ed.
munds was on the way to attend the

large a number 1t was perhaps in
evitable that some names should fail
of being reported Among the mis-
sing was the name of Charles A. Ma
tusch, of Delaware county. Until re-
Fcently his family and friends at home
hoped that he would turn up some day
among the captured; but recently def
mite word was received from the de-
partment that the young man was
among those killed in action during
those terrible days. The last letter
from him was received on November
18th, the day the armistice went into
effect. Then nothing more was heard
until letter from his commanding Of
ficer was received, stating that since
a battle on October Gath Charles had
been among the missing, but whether
he had been killed or captured was
uncertain. Now at last the painful un-
certainty is ended by the sad certainty
that he is one of those gallant thou
sands for whom over the top meant the
crossing of the Great Divide.
He was born in South Dakota in
1887, and while yet small boy came
with his parents to Delaware County,
which has been their home ever since.
Charles was inducted into the service
in April, 1918. He was sent to Camp
Dodge, and from there to Camp Travis,
Texas, where he remained until he
went to France as member of the
Goth division of infantry. He passed
unscathed through the battles that
drove the Germans out Of the st. Mi
hiel salient, only to win the hero's
crown in the Argonne woods few day
before the ending Of hostiIities. He
leaves father, John Matusch, one
brother, William, and two sisters, Mrs.
Laura e. Durham, and Mrs. Jessie E.
Anthony.
