GETS THE EN-
TERPRISE IN
FAR FRANCE.
France, Nov. 20, 1918.

France, Nov. %, 1918.
Mr.. Joe L. Holbrook.
Dear Sir:-Will you spare space
in the dear old Enterprise for one
of the Weakley county boys in
France.
| receive the dear old Enterprise
once a week and am always glad to
get it, for it is almost like a letter
from home.
Well, since we M. D. boys have
won the war with the help of M. P.'s,
it is not so bad on us now. This is
Thanksgiving Day and / ate such a
dinner this noon that can think OF
nothing but turkey. l have been
through some pretty close places
since coming over here. was on
the front one time while they were
fighting battle and carried a lit
ter, and it looked as though hell was
on earth, but | did not get scratch,
although had to Ouch several times
from bombs which were bursting
everywhere. But they did not get
me, while they got several others.
Most of my work has been in the
evacuation hospital which was about
eight miles from the front. l have
stood by the bedside of several dy-
ing soldiers, but | think fellow can
get used to most anything.
| have told my dad that l would
not do little things that he told me
not to do, but I don't think it is
right for fellow to say he won't
do. for he will do anything when ne
gets on the front line. I would have
done anything then for dad If |
could have gotten to him, but dad
don't have to tell a fellow to duck
when a she'll comes over for it got
to be second nature with me to fall
We had several air raids over the
hospital, and several bombs were
dropped around us, but did not do
any damage to the hospital. That
is the time the nurses are your
friends-in time of airraids-but
when it is over they are still boss
The nurses are put in charge of the
wards and they make the poor buck
private snap into it, but as | am now
working in the enlisted mems CLUB,
they can't boss me.
I notice that the Spanish flu Is
very prevalent in the states. 1t also
is over here and / have had it my
self, and it is mighty bad company.
I guess all the people of Weakley are
through gathering their crops and
have received good prices for all
their stuff.
Well, l am hoping to reach old
Weakley some time soon, as ! am
sure tired of France. It is too rainy
over here for me.
Well, will close with good wishes
to all.
Your friend,
W. H. bonner.

"The condition of these people is
appalling" said Mr.. Morganthau.
Four hundred thousand of the starv-
ing hosts of Armenia and Syria are
children. Multitudes have already
persisted, while their mothers stood
powerless to help, while their dear
est treasures died before their eyes
their own children for whom they
would have given their lives.
"Upon the children, helped back
to normal childhood, let us hope, by
the generosity of the American peo-
pie, must depend the perpetuation
of race that early accepted Chris
tianity-a race that has been most
cruelty prosecuted by the barbarous
Turks and has gone to Calvary for
its belief.
cat Teheran and other cities, men,
women and children are Frustrated
on the streets from exhaustion and
dying from starvation. People are
grazing in the fields like cattle.
Children come to rest houses with
flesh hanging on their bones like
rags, voices gone, but eyes pleading
and imploring for a crust. "Peo-
pie all over Persia are falling dead
as fast as autumn leaves from the
trees. 10000 persons have died
in the past year in Teheran alone
from starvation and the diseases
which follow malnutrition.
"From one Armenian village comes
a sole survivor who tells story
that is like a closeup of the whole
steadfast people. Suddenly without
reason or warning, fifty of the lead
ing men of their churches were
thrown into prison, and there fol-
ten days starved and tortured. AT
last, bound four together, the sur
vivors were led out on the journey
which they well knew would soon
er or later end in death. Even then
to deny their King would have SET
their feet back on the road off life
But mol Spontaneously they
started forward singing hymn
which gave at once their farewell
and their identity: Not victims, but
pilgrimsv Unless help on largt
scale is Immediately Forthcoming
these Christian people will perish.
Mr.. Morganthau expressed con
fC,tnce that tic American people
would over-subscribe the nations
quota of $3O,OOO,OO0, which the Am
erican Committee for Relief in tht
near East proposes 70 raise from
Jan. IL to 10, 1919.

RINGER CHANGES
MIND ON BUYING
HIGH-PRICED CARS
Gives Way to Protests on Pro-
viding Packards for
Buns"

Police Commissioner Ringer in
the city council meeting yesterday,
moved to rescind the action of the
council last week, which was taken
on his recommendation, and which
was an authorization for the pur-
chase of two Packard automobiles
fof police patrol use, on a bid OF
$l1.424 for the two machines.
The council yesterday was unani-
nous in its action to rescind. The
matter shall have returned from De-
troit, where he went last night to
attend an international meeting of
the Young Mems Christen associa-
ton.
Mayor Smith, who voted against
Mr. Ringer last week, characterized
this proposed purchase as ruthless
extravaganza" and he directed that
the machines should not be deliver
ed adding that he would not sign
the warrants for their purchase.
Commissioner IRE, formerly an
ardent supporter of Mr.. Ringer,
likewise expressed himself in terms
of disapproval against this PROPOSE
ton of buying automobiles costing
nearly $4,000 each to haul prisoners
to the city jail.
Mr.. Ringer offered no comment
yesterday when he moved to have
the action of the council revoked.
Merit week the council will con-
slider buying cars that are less ex-
pensive.

North Platte Plays Tie
Game With Gothenburg

Gothenburg, Neb., Nov. IS
Especial Telegram. NORTH Platte
and Gothenburg Hing school foot
ball teams played here Tuesday to
a tie. The visitors scored touch
down a few minutes after play
started by an intercepted forward
pass on their own l-yard line.
North Platte missed goal. Gothen-
burg scored a touchdown, also. in
the first quarter, but missed goal,
Kaine carrying the ball over.
The game, which had been post
poned from last Friday, was played
in a sea of mud. The play was al
most entirely in North Platte ter
ritory. North Platte made first
down only three times, while the
locals negotiated the required 10
yards seven times.
Captain Roberts Of Gothenburg
was the most consistent ground
gamer, while his passes were well
executed, but owing to the slippery
condition his teammates were un-
able to hang onto the ball.

local warriors, they will attempt to
put the Blue river lads out OF the
race for the championship. The
Beatrice squad is composed of many
stars and veterans, while the bust

SAVED HER LIFE
SAYS POLICEMAN
JOE JOHNSTON
His Wife Was So Rundown
She Had Lost so Pounds
Restored by TanIac.

81 doubt if my wife would be
alive today if it had not been fos
Tanlac," said Police Officer jos
Johnston who, for nearly twenty
five years, has been in charge of the
police emergency ambulance of Mil
waukee, Wis. 'Mrs. Johnston LOST
fifty pounds and was SO weak she
had not been to town in over :
year." he continued. "but since tax.
ing Tanlac her health is fine.
Policeman Johnston is familiar

waukee. He is rounding out his
thirty-fourth year of service on tho
force and for the past sixteen year,
has resided at TAB Oakland Ave.
1.-TWO years ago my wife had
bad attack of the grippe" he con-
tinued. "She just kept on going
down hill in spite of everything W.
could do and she got so weak and
nervous she would shake like a Leaf
when she exerted herself. Shs
couldn't work more than ten minute<
at time without stopping to rest,
Her digestion was so bad she could
not eat hardly anything at all. Shs
was nearly always constipated and
had the headache practically all the
time, too, and frequently the head.
aches would be so bad she would
have to go to bed. At night she
was so nervous she couldn't rest
and would have to get up and walk
the floor to get her nerves settled.
We tried everything we could thinb
of to build her up, but nothing
did any good and she kept on los
ing what little strength she had
left.
zone day I saw a statement in
the paper by a fellow officer about
how much good Tanlac had done him
and l got some of the medicine for
my wife, and it, beat anything I
ever saw the way she began to inn
prove. Her appetite came back
within a few days and she could
eat anything she wanted without
any bad after effects. The head
aches and nervousness disappeared
and she sleeps fine every night. Sht
took six bottles of Tanlac and
gained as much in weight and
strength she now does all the house
work without a bit of trouble, and
she looks and feels like different

BOWLING
Middlewest Tournament Notes
BY c. j. CAIN.

! Friday night is the night and 7:jO
| O'Clock is the hour for the festivi-
ties in connection with the tourna-
inent to commence. Mayor Smith
Commissioner Dan Butler and a
host of bowling celebrities will be
on hand ito give the big meet the
right start.
The huge grandstand will be COM
p;eted so that all may have a seat
The alleys are all ready and the
other construction and preparations
will be finished when the gong
rings.
The entertainment committee will
feature again, but with a different
line of stuff. This time it will be
coffee and sandwiches. Dad
Huntington will conduct this part OF
the program and he is experienced
at it, too.
For the benefit of those bowlers
entered who have never participated
in d large tournament it should be
made plain the promptness expect
ed of them when they are scheduled
to roll. The schedule of a large
tournament must move like clock
work. There can be, and will be,
no delays in waiting for those en-
tered to arrive. The play will start
at the time scheduled and those who
are not on time will be left out.
Team captains are expected to see
the secretary 80 minutes before the
time their respective teams are
scheduled to roll. There is no
chance for appeal and no chance
to shoot later in the tournament.
Help the tournament officials by
cooperating with them. Their task
is difficult one at the best.
Bowlers should offer their SER
vices to Secretary Edison without
being requested. There are a
hundred places to use men, such as
scorers, foul men, office assistants,
doorkeepers, and numerous other
tasks. Those who did not help get
entries, now have a chance to do
their part. Those who have been
placed on teams without expense,
owe it to the tournament officials
to help them out during the big
rush.
The season ticket sale is heavy.
More interest is being displayed in
this seasons event than those of
former seasons, due probably to the
fact that there are more pin cracks
and ex-champions entered this year
than ever before.
Bowlers still needed to fill teams.
Those who are not lined up can be
placed on a team entry fee paid.
Secretaries Edison and Jarosh are
making up the teams.
One lone entry from Casper, Wyo.
Fred Van Dyke. He couldn't pick
up team, so he is coming alone.
That's the spirit.
So anxious are the International
Bowling association officials of st.
Paul and Minneapolis to secure en-
tries from Omaha and other middle
west cities that they are sending not
only a big delegation of bowlers,
bat a special representative to the
annual meeting in the person of
Ted G-onewald. who has been the
popular secretary of that organiza-
ton tor several ycars

Specia! Meeting for
Directors Of Junior
League Club Owners

New York, Nov. ia special
meeting of the directors of the
American League to consider the
failure of the national commission
to award third place world series
money to the New York Americans,
has been called to meet at noon
Wednesday by the majority direc-
tors. These are Jacob Rupert of
New York, Harry Frazee of Boston
and Charles Comiskey of Chicago:
The Detroit club had protested
against New York's third place,
claiming that the games Carl Mays
pitched should not be counted. New
York was officially awarded the
place at a special meeting of the
directors, who adopted resolution
authorizing the national commission
to pay the Yankee players their
share of the world series money.
