LETTERS FROM OUR
BOYS .OvER THERE.


We marched through the quaint old
streets Of Liverpool to the railroad
station, where we boarded our first
English train. After being served
again by the American Red Cross we
departed on our trip across England,
for Woodley Camp, at Romsey, where
we spent two pleasant days, even tho
it rained all the time we were there.
The morning Of the twenty-fourth
we again marched with heavy packs
to another camp near Southampton,
six miles distant Here we were again
served with hot coffee and biscuits by
tie American Red Cross. We then
continued our march into Southamp-
ton where we boarded cattle boat
for LeHavre.
The gigantic liner Olympic lay near
by in her berth with four thousand
nurses and soldiers aboard, quaran-
tined with measles.
We pulled out ut dusk with search
lights constantly on the alert in every
direction, in the heavens as well as
in the waters.
We had to sleep on hard steel decks
as best we could, but the good Lord
was with us and the devil not inter-
vening, wo had smooth and safe
passage across the channel, arriving in
lie Havre at noon the twenty-ffth.
The harbor was filled with camou-
faged boats and decoys Of all kinds
which were very interesting, to say
the least, as was also the city and peo-
pie Of LeHavre.
We marched up long hill to anoth.
er rest camp and stopped over night
en- the hard floors again. We were
guarded very closely and not allowed
to go anywhere, and to see anything
except on the line of march.
1t was inded sad sight to see ev.
cry nine out Of ten women in England
and France wearing mourning. There
were very few men to be seen on the
streets, all old mn, women and chill
dren, or cripples from the front. 1
was very noticeable in the larger cit
les.
The night of the 9th we marched
down the Chemin de Fer of LIE Havr,
and boarded train of horse cars la
beled 50 Chaveux or 40 Hommes" fol
our trip across France, three days
journey. The dinky French locomo
tive and train looked like the one
used to run around the fence railing
back home, when I was about fiv,
years old. There was scarcely room
for al IN the car to lie down at on
time and the constant humping of tn
wheels on the rails is corker. Tn
rails here are connected with tn,
joints opposite each other instead o
being alternated as they are in tn

in, there ere now only about four hun
dred only remaining.
The rest Of our company joined a.
here some time ago and also one com
missioned officer, our other ofncera
having ben sent to other hospitals for
detached service.
We lost one of our men at the chat
eau, otherwise the company had re
mained intact since coming across
We just learned that we are to be at
tached to tho new unit and will remain
here with them. That means that we
are s. o. L. as far as getting home
this winter is concerned.
I was put on the military police
force about a month ago to guard the
bridge on the way to Montpont and
KEEP the patients and corps men from
getting ther without passes.
I had something to do with the
catching Of man who admitted O
theft few days ago and had to ap-
pear at court martial as a witness,
job which did not care for. pre-
sumo the thief will get about ten years
in prison. He stole purse contain
ing about fifty-six dollars. II does
not pay to try and put anything over
on Uncle Sam, especially while I am
on the police force.
This is strange world and many
funny things happen, but I think the
U. 8. Army has it over all other insti-
tutions in this respect. For instance.
here we are q motorized ambulance
company, and most Of the boys with g
years training for active service at
the front, doing hospital work, in fact
practically running the hospital. Ny
boss, who is the M. P. sergeant, who il
really just a "buck" private, is the
prosecuting attorney Of Ann Arbor
Michigan Some Of our most expert
mechanics and ambulance drivers are
now chasing ducks and bed pans for
patients in the wards.
We are but two hours ride from
Bordeaux and now that the bloody
war is over and the joy Of victory our,
and the work well done, to our credit
we are all looking forward to that ne
turn for home. The new lieutenant
colonel has informed US that, because
Of good work, which he heard Of before
he came here, he wished to hold ~
here to assist the new unit, therefore
it is doubtful whether we will return
soon or not. The Knights Templar
Ambulance Company Of Michigan has
done good work and it appears that il
has been very much appreciated.

This hall was rebuilt from an oil

ISHOPMEN ASK
WAGE BOARD TO
ADJUST PAY
Representatives Demand Re-
vision in Accordance With
Principles Laid Down
LOWEST PAID ON ROAD
Contend Their Pay Is Far Be-
low Others; Overwhelming
Vote For Strike
By Associated Press.

Washington, Sept. 4.-Represen-
tatives of the 500, 900 members of the
United Brotherhood of Maintenance
of Way and Railroad Shop Laborers
asked the railroad wage board to-
day to adjust their wages in accord
ance with the principle laid down by
President Wilson in approving ad-
justments last week for the railroad
shopmen.
The board was told that the men
adhered to the Presidents decision
that there should be no general in
crease of wages while government
agencies were actively seeking to re-
turn economic conditions to normal,
but that they felt the inequalities
in the pay existing as between the
employees of different railroad sys-
TENS should be corrected. Mainte-
nance of way men and shop labor
ers, the spokesman said, received
the lowest rates of pay of any class
of employees in the railroad service.
Decision to ask for an adjustment
of their wages at this time was
reached by the men recently through
a secret ballot. 1t was announced
that the question of a general wage
increase would be considered at tic
annual convention of the Brother
hood at Detroit September s.

Demonstrations were held by
Egyptian nationalists in Cairo and
Alexandra on Saturday and Sunday,
according to reports received on

tionalist deputation in Paris, stating
that the Foreign Relations Commit

declared Egypt should be indepen-

against the life of the Egyptian

result of the disorders in the two
cities.

NOMINATIONS TO
BEEASY WINNERS
Only Perfunctory Contests Be-
ing Waged by Democratic
Nominees

Reports from all over the county
indicate that a nomination on the
Republican ticket for county Office
this fall will be equivalent to an
election. The county never was so
strongly Republican as at present,
and there is no enthusiasm whatso-
ever in the Democratic camp, except
in the race for county commissioner.
where the one minority place to be
hlled has attracted five candidates.
On the Republican side also there
are five aspirants but it is assured
that two of these will be elected,
leaving the Democrats to fight it out
for the third vacancy. DIR. Henry
NJ. Stine and Charles C. Cumbler,
the two Republican commissioners,
and former Sheriff Harry C. Wells,
the Democratic commissioner, are
all out for denomination and ex-
press confidence of winning, although
some of the Democratic aspirants
are making Wells life miserable by
initiating the personal campaigning

factor in his success. DR.. Stine's
friends say he will have back of him

Tiny Baby Carried to
Grave in Airplane

Toronto, Sept. 4.-What is be-
lieved to have been the first air
plane funeral ever held occurred
here when a tiny coffin, bearing the
body of Leonard Allen, a five
months old baby, was conveyed to
Mount Pleasant Cemetery in a plane
piloted by Harry Smith, formerly of
the Royal Air Force. The flying
hearse" was closely followed by a
second plane bearing assistants of

The two planes, after a fight ovei
the city, circled Mount Pleasant at
an altitude of 1000 feet, the
"hearse" landing lightly near the
cemetery and the other plane land
ing with nose dive a few feet
away.
Plans for the unique funeral were
carefully guarded, and only friends
of the bereaved parents and a few
persons who happened to be in the
vicinity witnessed it.
