Jerseymen in Big Offensives.

/ Major American operations in France
covering the period from the first occu-
patton of sector of the line by Ameri-
can troops in April, 1918, to the time OF
the cessation of hostilities, November
IL, are outlined in alphabetical order in
letter received by Adjutant General
Gilkyson from the War Department.
The information is taken from the
annual report of General March, chief
of staff of The army, to the Secretary of
War. In number of instances the
operations of the American troops are
referred to in terms of the corps or army
which participated. but in many in
stances reference is made to particular
divisions and in some cases to indiyid
ual regiments or even battalions.
Reference to the Twenty ninth~~Di
vision, made up in part of National
Guard troops from New Jersey, and
the Seventy-eighth Division, the FIRST
to be recruited at Camp Dix, and con
tanning many New jersey selective
service men, are made in connection
with operations between October II
and the time when the armistice be.
came effective. These references do
not include all the engagements in
which these and other divisions par
ticipated, as only the operations of
major character are given in the gen
eral summary. Sections of the chro.
biological recapitulation in which New
Jersey units are referred to particularly
follow:

Hospital Bed for Children


The Burlington County Home and
School Association is trying to raise
sufficient funds to endow a bed for
children in the Burlington County
Hospital. 1t is hoped that every school
in the county will take up this subject
and solicit subscriptions that will
secure the desired object. 1t is desired
to raise 81, 900 by the first of February,
SO it will be seen there is need of
earnest work. This bed will be for the
use of the children who need treat
ment. OF the many cases that have
already been noticed, two may be
mentioned. One little girl was out of
school for whole year owing to
chronic throat trouble. The case was
taken up by the association, an opera
ton was performed and complete
cureswas effected. The little girl has
not had sore throat since and is
attending school regularly. The other
case was that of a boy, eight years Of
age, who suffered with adenoids so
large that he had never been able to
breathe through his nose. His hearing
was affected and he was backward in
his studies, An operation was per
formed, the little fellow is we'll and
happy and up to the average of school
work. .
The endowment of bed will EMS re
prompt beneficial treatment in many
cases that cannot now be reached be
cause of there not being adequate room
for the care of the patients. 1t Ger.
tainly does not need any more argu
ment to show what very necessary
thing this subscription may cover. L
is not intended for any one locality
but the entire county will be benefited
Subscriptions may be forwarded t,
4 your local chairman but if one has no
been appointed send your contributions
to Mrs. H. Krupnick, Mount Holly.

The County Budget

Wednesday was the date set for
hearing on the budget of appropria-
tions for county purposes for the pres
ent year. 1t was not supposed there
would be much objection. This pre-
sumption was based on the fact that
heretofore the taxpayers have possibly
read the amounts that were to be
raised and then rested content that
they should be appropriated. But
there was ripple on Wednesday.
Francis J. Smith, the Beverly lawyer,
appeared, and asked that an appropri-
alton be made for the benefit of st.
Joseph's Home at Beverly. This is an
institution under the care and super
vision of the Catholic church, but Mr..
Smith, in the presentation of his re-
quest, told that many persons were
cared for who were not members of that
church, and that the Home did as
much good for residents of the county
as the other institutions that are an.
nually voted sums of money.
The members OF the Board OF Free
holders did not know just exactly wha
to do, so they decided to hold a secre
caucus to discuss the subject. The re
suit of that elaboration was that i
was not lawful to appropr ate none,
for sectarian institution. When thi
announcement was made Mr.. Smith
said he wanted to enter a formal pre-
test against the adoption of the bulge
as it had been decided upon. He hello
that any institution that was doin
/; good for the benefit of residents Of tn
: county was entitled to consideration
: For twenty-five years st. Joseph
Home had been doing this and ha
! never before asked for a penny fron
the county treasury. There was M
? any change from the decision of tn
members, and as he left the room Nj
X Smith intimated that he would attac
some of the items in the budget whicl
# gave money to charitable institution

Military Affairs.

An interesting letter from Herbert
Wollner, son of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
Wollner, was received last week 1t IL
dated December 80, 1918. The young
man is member of Company G., First
Pioneer Infantry, American Ex-
peditionarV Forces. His company is
stationed at Vallendar, Germany, a
town about the size of Mount Holly,
five kilos from Colhenz. He says it is
beautiful country-wonderfu scenery
along the Rhine, beautiful churches,
monuments and ancient castles. "Pn
never regret" he says, walking 300
miles, carrying a 20 lb. pack, in order
to get here and see the country"
The soldiers are billeted in houses of
residents of the town and are treated
with great respect. Flour, meat and
soap are very scarce among the resi-
dents. They seem to have plenty OF
potatoes. The German people he
learned, suffered very much from
hunger during the last four years
sThat's all they talk about-eats
They were allowed only half pound
of meat per person each week and tire,
pounds of bread made from sawdust
p otatoes and little flour"
The American soldiers are well-fet
and well clothed. They do guard duty
and are drilled regularly. The military
discipline is strict,
