ISOLATED FOR a YEARS
BY WAR, MRS. STURGER
is TO JOIN HUSBAND

Podgoritza, Montenegro, Nov. Is.
Isolated for four years in the fast
nesses of the Montenegrin mountains
through the fortunes of war, Mrs.
Rose NJ Struger, formerly Miss Rose
Webb, of Tacoma Wash. viii soon be
restored to her husband in st. Paul,
MINI, Lost to the world since the
Austrian hordes swept over the coun-
try and her husband marched away
with the Montenegrin troops, she and
her little son have suffered all the an
guish of complete isolation from fam
lily and friends, besides the physical
discomforts of wartime living in
war wrecked country
Five years ago Marco Struger
brought his wife from the United
States to visit his parents at Ceklin,
Montenegro, village high up in the
mountains While on their visit the
war began and the husband shouldered
his rifle to help stay the onrush of the
Austrian armies, and hurried, to
army headquarters at Podgorit2a He
was captured by the Austrians, but es-
capped and returned to the United
States where he sought Red Cross aid
to find his wife in Montenegro.
When an American Red Cross com
mission arrived in Montenegro after
the armistice, Mrs. Struger wrote, ask
ing for assistance for the refugees in
her little mountain village. Her APP
peal reached the commission a few
days after an inquiry from Washing
ton asking the commission to locate
Mrs. Struger had been received. The
supplies were sent to the mountain
town in response to Mrs Struger's APP
peal. She took entire charge of the
relief work in her district and made
several convoy trips between her viii
lage and Podgoritza.
She proved to be a tall, good look
ing woman, bronzed by the sun and
winds of Montenegro In her years
with the mountaineers she had ac-
auired a perfect speaking knowledge
of their language. Mrs Struger was
put into communication with her hus-
hand and soon will join him in Amer
lea.

SPRINGFIELD SALOONS
DEFY COUNCILMEN
Liquor Men File Injunction to Stop
City from Enforcing Provisions
Of Dry Ordinance.

Springfield, Jan. 2.-True to their
promise 22 Springfield saloon men
opened their doors yesterday morning
and the city officials true to their
promise the police Immediately caused
them to be placed under arrest.
The 22 liquor dealers have been
ordered to appear in municipal court
lat 2 o'clock this afternoon to answer
to asekarge Of retailing liquor without
city licenses. In the meantime At
torney Frank B. Williams, represent
ing the liquor men, yesterday after
noon filed an injunction to restrain
the city authorities from enforcing
the provisions of the prohibition
ordinance passed last July by the city
council and which became effective
January /. The hearing on the in
junction proceedings will be at o.
clock this morning before Judge Guy
D. Kirby.
1t is the contention of the saloon
men that the city council overstepped
its authority by voting the city dry
when the people voted it wet in the
last local option election and they pro-
posed to test the legality of the ordin-
ance in the supreme court. The drys
claim that the council has the right to
refuse to grant license to saloon
dealers and that the saloon men, by
operating yesterday, violated not only
the city ordinance but the state law,
as well, since the state law requires
that dramshops shall have city
licenses wherever they operate.

NEWS OF OUR SOLDIERS
Warren Hoover Veteran il service.


In an interesting letter to his
mother, Warren Hoover tells Of the
different engagements he was in
during the war, and it shows that he
is quite veteran in spite Of his
youth. He wrote from Allrey, France,
November 20. He says:
II have been in Germany. My di-
vision is in Germany now, but ! hurt
myself and had to come back to the
hospital. | was not hurt bad. This
is beautiful little village. The
houses are all Of stone and cement,
so old and antique. Some have
beautiful rose bushes running up
along the porch and large shade trees.
The roads have large spreading trees
on both sides. All roads over here
are as good as Fifth street is in
Monet.
z Well, the officers say we boys in the
hospital will be home by the last Of
January at most.
When we boys made our last drive
through the Argonne Forest and on
TO Sedan the French civilians, old and
young, cried for joy and some came
up and kissed some of the boys. When
we PASSED through the streets they all
yelled "Vivi La American, meaning
Long live the American" We boys
were sure proud. 1t always made us
fight harder when we saw young girls
and men all in rags and half starved
by the Huns.
My division has had more service
here than any other and have received
seven citations for our work in the
recent offensive. First on March l.,
1918, the Huns came over full pack.
We were on the Toul sector and our
barrage stopped them. At Cantigny,
May %, we advanced beyond the
Huns lines, taking the village of
Cantfgny. On July Is, we advanced
over sixteen miles beyond the Hun
lines and recaptured a main railroad
at Scissors. On September 10, we adj
vanced from Siepry, France to st.
Mathial, some thirty miles, taking
Mount Sect, mountain which cost
the French in rs, 10000 soldiers. On
October 1, we opened up in the Ar
gonne Forest, taking all objectives.
Again on November l, we opened up
on the Huns and advanced our lines
to Sedan. Afterwards armistice was
signed. You have my army career in
France-Luneville sector, Lorraine
front; Toul sector, Lorraine front;
Montdidier sector, Somme front;
sector, Lorraine front.
The rest were in drives.
Another thing. l have been a nom
com for over eight months. Why /
would not tell you is because over
here a man may be non-commis-
stoned officer one day and reduced to
private the next, so never said any
thing"
