Educational Bankruptcy"

Baltimore, December 2s.-Deploring the existence of condition bordering on "ed- ucational bankruptcy" and issuing n call for teachers who would always uphold the nigh standards of the American na- tion against present adverse influences, Rabbi Henry Berkowitz, of Philadelphia, at the opening session of the Jewish Cha tauqua tonight, declared the present sys- tenn futile and inadequate.

important Improvement in
Snow Sheds for Railways

Important improvements were intro
duced by the Southern Pacific rail-
road in the design of their snow sheds,
says Popular Mechanics Magazine.
One of these consists of telescoping
units having a maximum length of 96
feet, which make it possible to divide
long sheds into isolated sections as a
means of protection against the spread
of fire, or for other purposes. Each
unit is made with removable outside
braces and is mounted on rails, so
that locomotive can draw it into the
adjoining structure, purposely made
larger to receive it.

Owing to the fact that all the
officers and men of the Ameri-
can Expeditionary Forces have
been requested to write letter
to their fathers on this day, and
owing to the fact that my father
is dead, and on account of the
number of mothers who have sac
rificed sons on the battle field of
Europe, / am going 10 try to give
various summary of my service
overseas.
The unit that | am serving
with, Company IF" 352nd In.
fantry, of the 88th Division, ar.
rived at Liverpool in the latter
part of August. 1t was about
300 O'Clock ill the morning when
our ship locked. 1t seemed very
strange, the harbor was lighted
with blue lights, which threw a
weird outline on the buildings on
the shore. There was a large
tower to the left of us, and many
strange buildings.
We landed about 800 o'clock.
The very first thing saw was a
mounted policeman. These men
wear very picturesque uniform
"a long coat, and the most dis
tinguishing feature being their
cap. which sets back on their
head, held in place by a chin
strap.
We were received very cordial
ly by the English. A band play
ed some OF the latest American
hits" and biscuits" and hot
coffee was given to us before we
left the depot.
The railroad seemed to he just
a little more than a plaything to
US. who were accustomed to
travel on the rolling palaces of
the States. The cars were very
small, but the speed attained by
these trains was marvellous.
Our unit detrained at the old
city of Winchester, and proceed
ed to Winnall Down Camp. This
place was very pretty. 1t is
situated on hill, and commands a
veiw of the surrounding country
for many miles. This camp was
a so-called Rest" Camp, but
very little rest we had there.
Arrived there at about 900 in
the evening and was ordered to
leave there at about 800 O'Clock
the following morning for South
ampron.
At Southampton l had the first
markings of the war. In the
dry docks there was the Standard
Oil Steamer "Andonia" which
was torpedoed and also another
steamer that had been captured
from the "Boches", and con-
verified into an Allied vessel.
do not at the present time recall
the name of this steamer. There
were also cannon that had been
wrecked at the front, and one
in particular remember had
blood spots on its barrel.
At about 500 o'clock we
boareed one of the small channel
boats. This boat had as many
men on board as it could carry,
but as the trip was a short one
and no mishaps occurred, we were
satisfied.
The following morning we
awoke in the harbor of L'Havre.
This is very old port, and the
harbor was full Of small fishing

box cars and the officers rode
first class Our trip would have
been completed in a few hours
in the States, but composed the
whole night and day.
Our next stop was down in the
Central part of France in the
small town of Les Laumes, in
the Department of Cot d. or.
This town is situated in the heart
of the Central Hills of France.
The people were friendly, as it
was the first time that American
troups had been CHARTERED in
that vicinity. However, our
stay in this town was limited to
but two days.
We then proceeded by march
to Meetrenux. In this small
village, we were billetted in a
Chateau, which had not been oc-
cupled by the owner for some
time, and was a splendid place.
The court in the neighborhood of
this Chateau was beautiful, there
being many hedgerows. might
mention that this Chateau was
the property of a countess.
There was also a count in this
town.
After about two weeks stay at
this little village our unit pro-
ceeded by rail to our training
area in the vicinity of Belfort.
The trip to Belfort was most in
teresting. We passed through
the Jura and part of the Vosges
mountains. The railroad also
ran along the Doubs River.
Among the large cities passed
through was Dion and Montbil-
lard.
In our training around Belfort
our company was stationed in
Bermont, Tretudans, Chevre,
mont and Rougement. At Rouge
mont this division was in sup
port of a French Division, hold
ing the front line. This was
for the morale effect, our regi-
ment did not occupy any of the
line at this place. 1t was at this
place that the French Division
we were in support of, lombard
ed the ''Boches" which sounded
worse than any thunder storm
that have evsr experienced.
At this time part of our Divis-
ion occupied the front line in
Alsace. We we sent to Lutran,
in Alsace, to support those units.
1t was about nine o'clock in the
evening when we crossed the
German line. Here there were
arial bombardments on every
clear day. The bursting of the
shells in the air could be plainly
seen, and it was interesting to
watch how close the shells would
burst to the machines. How
ever, none of the machines were
brought down in this vicinity.
Then we took over sector in
the front line. Our sector was
about two kilometers from the
Alsace town of Badricourt, and
about six kilometers from DAN
nemarie.
Our sector was about two miles
square, we having front of
about one mile long. The COM
pany sector was divided up into
four small sectors, each COM
manded by a Lieutenant. l
commanded Second Platoon Sec
tor which was about one mile
and one half from the company

to be a little timourous about
showing themselves. We sent
out patrols every night, but was
unable to find anything, except
mirlads of rats. The artillery
exchanged shots all day long,
however, and the airplanes treat
ed us to an air battle. One ma
chine was brought down a little
to the rear of the position we
were occupying.
| might say in connection with
the above, that this sector was
the fartherest advanced sector
on German soil at this time, and
had been captured from the Ger
mans by the French in the early
part of the war. In fact, the
traditions related about this sec.
tor stated that the trench system
and dugouts were built by the
Germans.
We occupied this sector about
nine days, and then moved back
to Badricourt to allow one of our
other companies to get little
experience of what the trenches
are like. Our stay in this town
was very brief, however, as we
were relieved by the French, and
we then proceeded to St. Leger
and then on to Perouse. a village
a few kilometers out of Belfort.
At Perouse we were granted a
few hours leave to visit Belfort.
Belfort is the Bulwark defending
eastern France just as Verdun
defended Northern France, The

and are many feet thick. Over
looking the city is an immense
lion, which sets on a high cliff.
This lion was designed by the
sculptor Bartholdi, who also de-
signed and built the Statue of
Liberty in the New York Har-
Dor.
While at this town we were
ordered to take over our sector
before Metz, but before we left
Perouse the Armistice was sign
ed. That day was probably the
widest day in the history of
France. The French soldiers all
celebrated and every American
soldier that came in close proxi-
nifty of where they were were
embraced and kissed. Our Bat.
talon left this town and march,
ed through Belfort to the train.
When we entered the city we
were cheered by the French.
The city was lighted up with
bright lights, as it had not been
since before the War. Large
Illuminating rockets were Sent
up, and lighted up the whole
city.
When we entrained at Belfort,
our destidation was Toul, a dis
lance of about $50 miles. This
trip took US two nights and one
day to complete it. We passed
through Nancy and Luneville,
both cities have taken a pr0mi-
nent part in the war.
Our resent location is Lucey,
a small village located about ten
kilometers from Toul. 1t is sit
uated on one of the main roads
between Metz and foul, and ev-
cry day prisoners of war are re-
turning from Germany. What a
sight they are, French, Eng
lish, Italian, Russian, Belgian,
and also a few Americans. Some
