Homecoming Association
Organized.
Will Form Plans For WelcOm-
ing Home All Soldier Boys.

ing Home All Soldier Boys.
In order to form some definite plan for
welcoming home the boys who enlisted or
were drafted into military service by
Uncle Sam and who have seen service
overseas or been in camps in this country,
a call was made last week for represen-
tatives from all the churches, lodges and
other organizations in Mechanicstown
District to meet in the Club Room, Thnr-
mont Bank Building, Tuesday evening Of
this week.
In response to the request IS persons
assembled. Rev. E. o. Pritchett called
the meeting to order, and after some dis
cussion it was determined to make per-
manent organization to formulate plans
for the home-coming celebration.
Maj Geo. T. Castle, veteran of the
Civil War; was nominated and unani-
mosly chosen president of the association.
Mr. l.. Birely and Rev. E. 0. Pritchett
were elected vice-presdents; H. D.
Beachley, Secretary; j. Roscoe Mackley
assistant secretary, and Rev. c. E. Wolfe
Treasurer.
The official title of the organization is
1.-THE Thurmont Home coming Associa-
ton" The entire body present are
members of the association, and the off
GERS were given authority to add as many
names as they thought wise.
The officers of the association will meet
on Friday evening of this week to talk
over matters of Importance and name
subcommittee for various portions of
the work In connection with the celebra-
ton.
No date has been set for the celebration
this depending in great measure as to
the time when all or the great majority
of the boys arrive home from overseas.
Besides arranging for the homecoming
this organization will very likely be kept
intact and in the future take steps to-
ward the erection of memorial of some
character in honor to the boys who wore
the khaki.

10Th Division A. E. F.
My dear wife and baby:

My dear wife and baby:
Just few lines this evening to let
you know am still on the sod, and glad
to say have at last received some mail
from you. Your last letter | received on
Christmas Day and believe me consider
ed this more than any Christmas gift |
could have gotten. Gee it made me feel
like different fellow to know you were
G. X.
You asked me if had seen Charles.
No, but Earl Black has seen him since
the armistice was signed and he says he
is alright. He was lucky boy for he
was right there as brave as any of the
boys over here. A guy told me he never
flinched bit at any time and any one
knows that is sure doing your bit. We
can tell you more about it when we get
home, it is hard to say when we will get
back but don't think it will be more than
6 or months yet. No, Beulah l think
we will be home for Easter. Don't that
sound great? think we will all be glad
to leave this mud Really | never saw
so much mud in my life. don't think
this country was worth fighting for if it
is always this muddy. If these people
were to come over and see our country
think they would want to make it their
home forever.
Well, we have at last moved from our
little dugout and are now close to little
town called Souilly. At this place we
have big hospital. When the war was
going on some of our boys was buried at
this place. | was down at the cemetery
yesterday but the mud was so deep that
| could not get in. One of our officers
was buried here.
Oh, yes must tell you, received my
Xmas box the other day, everything was
great; want to thank you all for it.
| was sorry | could not send you some
thing but we cannot even buy stick of
candy at this place. Some of the boys
are going on pass and then am going
to get them to get me something for
you. don't know yet what it will be.
| almost forgot to tell you that | hung
up my stocking Xmas Eve and the next
morning found quite few coolies there.
Now it is just 3 a. m. rather funny
time to write a letter, but will explain
what am doing up at this hour. l am
telephone orderly. This morning | was
thinking of calling you up, but hated to
call you at so early an hour.
How glad we were to have our Presi-
dent visit us and especially so since our
Division heard he is going to take US
home with him.
One thing can say is, that l have not
been sick since coming to this "No Mans
Land" Hope don't get sick now fol-
this is very bad place to be sick. OF
course its alright when you 60 to the
hospital, except when you get lost
from your company and l have beer
lucky to pull through with our boys anG
l want to come home with them. Wei
l will close for this time hoping to heal
from you soon. Give my best regards
to all.
Your loving husband.

I'VE Must Not Forget. "
1t Would Be A Crime Against
The Dead.

A letter from Mr.. Chas. E. Hammett
who has been serving as Director of
Athletics and Recreation, to the boys in
Gievres, France, and who is now reassign-
ed from headquarters to be one of the
three "Y" men to serve the Army OF
Occupation, on the Rhine.
Paris, December 81, 1918.
Dear Mother:-
want to drop you a petit note at the
close of this last day of the year both to
wish for all Of you very Happy New
Year and to enclose some very beautiful
post cards of Paris, which l am sure you
will enjoy.
This is probably the last time l write
l9lS-a year which has been momentous
for our country and for the world, and
which has considerably altered the even
tenor of my life. AS the French say
when thing is gone, "feenci' (finis)
1918. Here's to the New Year! may it
usher in long period of peace and world
wide prosperity alone except
ed, for it would be sn injustice if she
who brought misery on SO many, were
prosperous Her attitude toward the
moral issues at stake in this war, has
not changed. She does not repent the
wrong she did; she merely regrets a
coupe marque ian attempt that failed.
Her revolution, such as it is, Is directed
against the ruling class not because it
brought on the war, but because it fail
ed to win it; and failing, brought priva-
ton instead of plenty looted from beat
eE world
So have no tender thoughts for Ger
many in these last hours of the year.
She is not repentant sinner begging
grace, but robber forced to give up his
loot, insolent, threatening and at the
same time detestably fawning and SER
vile in defeat. l want the new year to
bring to her misery and humiliation both
as punishment for the crimes she has
committed and as means of leading to
real change of heart, not an opera
bouffe revolution based on disappointed
hopes of world plumber and doomed to be
smashed by the iron hand of German
miitarism as soon as it has served its
purpose which is, to fool the world.
The danger is lest we forget Test we
forget the Lusitania; the murder of in
offensive civilians; the unmentionable
81 nh hn
rape of men and women and young girls,
torn from their homes and loved ones
and carried into slavery in an enemy land;
the wanton destruction of cities; the
desolation of the country side. Fire and
sv ord, lust and murder run riot-the in
carnation of Germany!
We are so far away, so ready to be
good fellows to forgive and forget. But
aUe must not. If we were here, where
we could see and touch and feel, we
would not. 1t would be crime against
the dead, who would have died in vain; a
crime against the mothers, sisters and
wives and little children of our allies,
who have borne the brunt. America
must not forget! And she must not for
give. Stern. relentless justice must be
melted out to the nation who has bathed
the world in blood. 708, 726 British kill
ed, 1.O7l, 300 French, 5S.474 American,
!, ZOO, 900 Russian, 800, 900 Italians. And
justice demands punishment and repara-
ton, not forgiveness and forgetfulness.
May our country hold to this and en-
force it. With this hope | close.
With much love,

Dreadful Cough Cured.

A severe cold is often followed by a
rough cough for which Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy has proven especially
valuable. Mrs. F. W. Olsen, Marysville,
Mo-, writes: about two years ago my
little boy Jean caught a severe cold and
coughed dreadfully for days. l tried a
number of cough medicines but nothing
did him any good until gave him Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy. 1t relieved his
cough right away and before he had
finished taking one bottle he was cured.
I think it is just fine for children"

Sunday last was February 2nd-the

CLEVER SPIES ARRESTED.

Philadelphia, Jan. 13-An interest ing story of enemy spy work Is told by Frank H. Gaskill, assistant chief of the Protective League, which rendered service during the war.
 The organization MT. Gaskill re- lates, was responsible for the intern ment of a man caught spelling out dangerous messa ges with a tripham- mer he was operating in a big in dustrial plant on the Delaware River.

 The telegrapher notified the govern ,ment authorities who caught the trip-hammer operator signalling:
 Raid on fishing fleet complete surprise"
 This was several hours before the news despatches brought word of the sinking of fishing fleet by German submarines off New England The trip-hammer expert was found to be a former telegraph operator. Mir. Gaskill said the mystery of where the operator got his news or to whom he was signalling was never solved.
