FRENCH SAID NEEDED 3 YEARS
TAKE HILL; yANKS TOOK IT IN
20 MINUTES; LOCAL LAD HELPS

Helping the Americans take a po-
sition In 20 minutes that the. French
had estimated as three-year job
and the English had declared it i'm.
possible to take, was the experience
of Sergt. G. e. Leslie, formerly of
this city. He was employed at the
Chickasha Cotton Oil refinery, while
here. In a letter received by rela-
tives here, he tells of his experiences
through the war. He is now in
Junkerath, Germany, with the army
OF occupation. The letter in part
follows:
"Our company is now detached
from the regiment we have been
with for some time, and we are now
in town called Montinedy
Il left the harbor at New York on
June Goth and landed in Liverpool,
Eng, July 1st At Liverpool we
boarded train, which conveyed us
to South Hampton, where we re-
manned until the 4th day of July
On this day we crossed the English
channel and went into la Havre,
France.
"Soon after our arrival at La
Havre, we entrained in the French
box cars, which are very small as
compared with those in America
Inconsiderate of the size, forty men
were loaded in each car The differ
ent places we passed do not know; |;
but we finally arrived, and hiked
two miles to the place we were
trained
I'VE left the training station on
the 18th day of August, and set off
to the front. The 23rd day of Au-
gust found us in the trenches, and
we remained on the front until the
armistice was signed.
1T was on September 18th that
the big drive was launched by the
Americans. / was in the thick of
the fray all the time, and, in my
opinion, it was the greatest battle
ever fought. We were in the open
for two days before the battle, dur
ing which time it rained continu-
ously. The night before the battle
r pIl1v was at his hest
'At midnight on this day, which
will be widely marked in the future
history of our country, one of our
largest cannons fired; this was fol-
lowed by others, and the part Of
Uncle Sam's war machine that was
stationed in that sector, was soon
grinding. The cannon In the rear
of our battalion were cannon; in
the rear of the line of cannon were
the siege guns, while in the back

lowest private watched with sus-
pense for the III. hour. AT 4 o'clock
in the morning, we went over the
top, fighting and lodging. The Ger
mans, using machine guns, poured
bullets into our midst, but nothing
halted the Americans. Every tool
of war that science has invented
was used by both forces
"On one of the French fronts,
near the base of one of the large
hills, the French had lost 10000
men in an attempt to take it from
the Germans. The French high
command declared that it would re-
quire three years to capture the po-
sition from the Huns; the English
declared it was impossible to take it.
while General Pershing fixed his es-
timate at 70 hours.
I'VE surprised Europe-and proba-
bly, the worldly taking the hill in
20 minutes.
Following our release from the
place we had captured from the
sBoches in twenty minutes, we were
, sent to the Verdun front, making
the trip in motor trucks. Two days
before the armistice was signed we
: set forth on a march at 2 o'clock,
linked all evening and during the en-
tire night. Soon after daybreak the
next morning we found them. We
also discovered ourselves in mass
of machine gun nests. The greater
the difficulty, the better the Amer.

feature, we soon killed, captured or
forced all of them to retreat. We
continued to administer the eyllow
coat OF defeat to the Dutchmen until
II o'clock on the day the armistice
was signed.
Since the clcck struck II on the
date Of November II, the guns
ceased firing, and now all have to
fight is the cooties, which, at times,
seem to put up even better fight
than the Germans.

Besides such expenditures as in
Dictated above, there is a continued
expenditure both by the city and by
the citizens of the city which expen-
ditures are bound to increase as the
city becomes larger and the property
becomes more valuable.
Under such circumstances, it
would seem wise for the city TO pro
vide CD for a resurvey and a replat
of all that land lying within the city
limits, (2) for the proper monument
ing of all street lines and reference
survey lines, and CD for correcting
the discrepancies that cannot be adj
iusted into the streets and alleys as
has been done in other towns. This
work could be done at the present
time for less money than at any flu
ture time and would ultimately save
many dollars both to the city and
to its citizens.

THE NEED OF A
RESURVEY OF PULLMAN

The city of Pullman, like other
cities, has grown from very small
original town by taking unto itself
certain outlying territory. This out
lying territory has been attached to
the city from time to time in small
pieces called additions. The various
surveyors who have laid out these
additions have worked independent
ly and the points from which their
surveys were begun were frequently
points that were in no way connected
with the surveys of any other parts
OF the city. AS consequence of this,
an attempt to locate a point on the
boundary between two additions is
an attempt to do the impossible, as
the recorded distances and angles in
one addition will place the point %
feet or more from where the sup
posedly same point is placed when
the measurements are made from the
recorded distances and angles in an
adjoining addition.
A discrepancy of this nature oc-
ours in the location of the city prop
erty where the septic tank now
stands Another one of over 40 feet
occurs where the township line
crosses Star Route street and the
western boundary of Reaney's Sec
ond addition.
These are two of the more glazing
errors but similar, if not so large,
errors are present in the boundaries
of practically all the additions to the
city. In one case, an attempt to
check the angles about four plats
having a common angle and having
all the angles except the common
angle given, will give values for the
common angle varying from each
other by as high as six degrees
These discrepancies come from the
fact that the tie for each of the
plats Is line or point not connect
ed with the other plats involved. In
another case, the length of the sup
posedly parallel sides of three blocks
lying between two straight streets
are as follows: 270 IT,, 270 it., 27O
IT., PISA IT,, 1898 it., 270 it. Here
the first three measurements are in
one addition, the fourth measure
ment in a second addition, and the
fifth and sixth measurements in a
third addition, all made at different
times by different surveyors. All
angles are shown as right angles
This is plainly impossible but Off
eially true.
Professor Edwards estimated that
errors of this nature and the lack of
proper monuments in the streets cost
the city between $500 and $1,000 in

To alleviate human suffering and
cure disease through the extension of
its great system of hospital centers
now 26 in number, in countries where
groups of millions of people are with
out adequate medical attention, the
board of foreign missions of the Meth

$l05,000,000 for world reconstruction.
This is an entirely separate ven
ture from that of the As hospitals

pass annually over 10000 patients.
The property value of these institu.
tions, coupled with their endowments,
is $15,626,343. In capacity they range
from the Wesley Memorial Hospital in
Chicago, caring yearly for about 1000
cases, down to the Sunnyside Metho-

The Portland area, which includes
large part of Oregon, Washington
and northern Idaho has been given
a quota OF $2,664,000 for the ensuing
five years. This money is to be used
in the greatest program of religion
Of service the world has ever known.
It viii be used in meeting the chal-
lenge which church leaders say has
been laid at the door of Methodism.
How Money Will Be Spent.
The 100000 to be raised under
the Methodist Centenary has already
been partly spent in advance. The
great Methodist mission ship, leaving
for Europe with $4,000 100000 worth
of portable houses, tractors, plows and
seeds, is an instance of how Europe's
share of the gigantic religious fund
is to be expended.
Forty million dollars is to be spent
on the home programme on nearly TO-
600 different projects. For instance,
the rural church in America is to re-
ceive 100000 to be spent on a gi-
gantic programme of helping and
erecting community country churches,
mainly seven days a week churches,
Some of these churches will have
swimming pools and be equipped
somewhat on the lines of Y. NJ. G. AS.
Pastors will be engaged who are ex-
perts. The church will be made the
center of rural activities in that cen
ter. Three thousand projects of that
kind are enumerated in the centenary
budget Great city community
churches, work among the highland
ers of the South, work among the
Mormons, the Indians, the Orientals
of the Pacific Coast, industrial groups,
etc, make up the total of $4,000, 00e.
100000 Abroad.
A similar sum is to be expended in
the foreign field, divided among the
countries of the world. Educational
work, medical work with hospitals and
dispensaries, with evangelistic work
is the manner in which this money
will go. There are 1,200,000,000 illit.
