"Lo, Stevey"
"Why, b'gosh. it's lily. Howdy, bud
die"
by the-why, where'd you come
from?"
The two clasped hands. And so Pri-
vate Harry Loughman, after span Of
two years of war, met his brother,
Steve, in Paris.
Back on April 6, 1917, the Lough-
man home at 461 Oakwood boulevard,
Chicago, was a-twitter over the dec
laration of war. Harry, the eldest
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Stephen II. Lough-
man, enlisted that day.
In First Ten Thousand.
The next day he said good-by to his
younger brother, Stephen, and left for
Texas. In short time he went across
among the frst~lO,0O0 Yanks to reach
France. He was among the first 1000
eleven to be captured.
Back home, Stephen. only &C.
yearned for action and q sight of
France. He gained his parents per-
mission, became patriotic falsifier
by telling the recruiting officers that
he was 10, and joined the army. He,
too, went over and did his part In
the fight.
Came peace. Harry was released
from a German prison and named as
nf hn nd nj
honor at the peace conference. Steve,
with his detachment in Luxembourg,
obtained furlough and went to see
F.! Paris. It was there that they met
) after a span Of two years.
Emotion is taboo in the American
expeditionary forces, but the gruff SOL
| diers who saw the reunion between
! the two young brothers admit they
temporarily lost all interest in the
fourteen points and freedom OF the
! seas. The colonel himself tossed his
brand new cigar out Of the window
and remarked he'd better be going
to write some letters home.
Harry, after enlisting, got across in
three months, fought on the Lorraine
front and was captured November 8
Transferred from camp to camp, he
finally got to the "strafe" camp al
| Tuchel, where he was kept in under
! ground quarters. There were $4,000
Russians there. It was their duty tt
| haul logs distance Of fourteen miles
each day. Food consisted chiefly Of
thin potato soup. Through mediation
of the Red Cross, he was removed tt
! camp near Baden. A month after
the armistice he was released. 1t re-
! quired one month at base hospital ir
Vichy to regain his strength partly.
Then he was honored by appoint
| meat to the peace conference guard
! Company 2, and will return to the
states with President Wilson. Steve
! returned to his company in Luxem
, burg after the reunion.

: Harry, 1--WE are together again for the
first time in about two years. Steve

English Farm Laborers
Get Big Pay Increase
By Associated Press)

LONDON, April Reconstruction of
a tunnel under the English channel
to connect England and France which,
according to government announce
ments, will soon begin, is a century
old scheme preached to Napoleon by
the celebrated French engineer Ma
thieu. Napoleon favored it but moth
ing came OF the plan owing to war
aud Nspolecn's downfall. 1t was not
until Napoleon III came to the French
tironc that actual preliminary work
was undertaken, with the approval of
the French ruler and Queen Victoria.
Then came the Franco-Prussian war
and the scheme again lapsed. Shortly
after that war convention was signed
between France and England setting
forth the conditions under which the
tunnel should be constructed. On the
English side boring operations were
begun near Dover at depth OF $50
feet and seven-foot tunnel was bored
for a distance of 1000 yards. Strong
opposition on grounds of military
strategy developed in the British par
lament against the project and again
1t was dropped.
