COL. HAYWARD
WRITES LETTER
FROM the Rhine
Tells of the Bravery Displayed
by Members of His Regi-
ment While Under
Fire.

Il think we are the top of the list
on number of killed and wounded"
Col. William H. Hayward of Oma-
ha, and commander of New York
negro regiment, writes from Blode-
sheim, on the Rhine, to a friend
here. Colonel Hayward also states
that this regiment holds the record
for consecutive days under fire with
total of 1911.
We have turned in everything
to the French except our rifles" the
letter, which is under date of De-
cember q, reads, land in one hour
we pass back under control OF the
American army" Colonel Hayward,
when writing again December IL,
expected to arrive in America be-
fore the first of the year, He says
they did not celebrate much over
the atmistice, for the reason they
were busy taking German prisoners
The letter follows:
To Receive Crosses.

An Interesting Bit of History

One of the interesting places in Lowell, Mass
is the old apothecary shop on Merrimack street
established in 1897 This location is still drug
store although Of course modern;zed in many de,
partments. The old prescription books, however
have been preserved and form an interesting record

AT THE
THEATER

TIE WOLF HOPPER has given
J a further demonstration of his
~ versa ,ility as an animal trainer
by introducing an entirely new di-
vertisement with the elephants in
he country circus scene of Every
thing" at the New York Hippo
drome. Mr.. Hopper, himself all en-
thusiastic base bali fan and sponsor
for the immortal Casey at the Bat"
is staging a base ball game played
by the famous quartet of pachyderm
actors, and, judging from the APP
plause and laughter greeting the
novelty, it seems likely to become a
permanent feature in Everything"
Nothing funnier has ever been seen
than Hopper's decision, as the UNI
pire, to change pitchers after Jennie
persists in throwing the ball out
into the audience instead of over
the plate" When Lena replaces
her in the box she Immediately steps
over to Roxie, who is the catcher,
and trumpets into her ear in true
big league" fashion. Hopper says
the Hippodrome elephants are more
nearly human than most actors he
has met.
After the matinee this afternoon
at the Orpheum, the mystifying
Leona Lamar will welcome the gen
eral public at a reception to be held
on the stage. Those present may
ask what questions they desire. To-
morrow WI be sealed-letter day.
Before coming to the theater write
your questions and seal them. If she
fails to tell what they are, or fails
to answer them, her manager prom
Uses to forfeit $500. The Friday
matinee special reception, which will
follow the regular performance, will
be for women exclusively. During
this time no men will be in the the
alter; musicians and all employees as
we'll as patrons will be asked to go
out after the show is over, SO that
only women will remain with Miss
Lamar.
This afternoon at the Boyd THE
Unkissed Bride will be played at
special nidweek matinee. The piece
is a comedy tending to farce and is
full of fun from the start to the fir
ish, while the company is giving it
the most vigorous action.
Squeals of delight are emitted by
the kiddies, who possess such good
mammas that they take them TO the
Gayety this week, the cause being
the finger dance presented by
Frank Ward and his little Wards
during the performance of the
Sporting Widows. Joe Browns
trampolin stunt serves as stopper
for the entertainment until he does
it over again. Ladies matinee daily

Matte Choate and company, dp-
pearing at the Empress for the last

Nothing to Drink but Water.

Again from letter of December II
from Ungesheim:
We didn't celebrate much over the arm
istice. You see we were in the trenches
the whole outfit was very busy taking in
German soldiers who came over preferring
to take chance with US, and then we
s.aFted IN Few days TO lead the
"Marche Triumphale" to the Rhine. and
down here there has been nothing to
celebrate with except Rhine water.
l don't know when have been happier
than today. Official movie men from the
American expeditionary forces have been
here and taken movies OF my regiment
on the hike with the funny machine carts
the French use. drawn by mules our
water carts. our bread carts, three horse
and tandem wagons and teams, our queer
rolling kitchens; in fact, all the funny
French equipment. l was so glad per.
manent record could be made OF it for
the future. We have turned in every.
thing to the French except our rifles, and
IN one hour we pass back under control
of the American army for the first time
since March IL, exactly nine months RI
fles go in tomorrow. and then we are off
for an American camp near port. Guess
they will give us American equipment to
take home. How l wish we could have
taken our French stuff We fought with
home with us.
More Honors for Hayward.
And another thing makes me proud and
happy. In addition to the Croix de Guerre
for the regiment. tone Of the six regi-
ments In our army. and Croix de
Guerre for me personally, I learned my
name has gone in to the French minister
of foreign affairs and president Of the

the nth degree of hot stuff with our
French friends, the greatest compliment
and honor they can pay My general says
there is no doubt 1t will be allowed, so
