Former Farmer Boys Overwhelmed
Crack Frussian Regiments in Bat

Reach Nevs York.

New York, n. Y, Dec. 31.-A story
of how farmer boys from Wisconsin
defeated crack Prussian troops on the
Vesle river was told by Capt. Thomas
Il. Watson, one of a party of d OH
GERS who arrived from France on the
transport Sixaola. Nine unwonaded
enlisted men were also on the SixaOia.
Captain Watson, whose home is in
Fond du Lac, was assistant postmaster
when war broke out. He went over
seas as commander OF Company 4,
One Hundred Twenty-eighth infantry,
a regiment made up largely of the Sec
Ond Wisconsin infantry. Captain Wat

in action and has been awarded the
CrOix de Guerre with a star. Captain

were ordered TO cross the VeSAc ana

crossed the river-it wasn't anything
more than a creek, anyhow--al-
though Jerry had scores of machine,
guns peppering us. After we crossed
we had to charge over an open held
three times. A lot of the boys in my
company were lads who'd never shot
at anything but rabbits before they
came over, but you ought to have seen
those farmer kids fight. Twice we
went over that open field through the
German barrage and machine gun fire.
and each time we had to retreat. 1

Find Dead Woman on Beach.

Chicago, H., Dec. 31.-Milwaukee
and Chicago combined to solve the
mystery surrounding the finding of the
body of an cXpeDaivelygown wom-
an, apparently from this city, which
had been washed up on the shore Of
Lake Michigan near Sherwood, a
suburb of Milwaukee, The body had
been in the water but a few hours.
Numerous bruises on the head at first
led the police to believe the woman
had been beaten to death, but the alb
Sence of other wounds or marks on
the body made them decide the bruises
were due to the body having been
pounded by the surf against the rocks
of the shore. A black handbag, con-
tanning picture of young woman
about twenty-five years old and a
youth about twenty, and a card bear
ing the name, address and telephone
number of Mrs. E. Robertson, 2214
Burling street, Chicago, was found on
the beach few feet from the body.
The woman was about fifty years old.
Mrs. Robertson could not identify the
body from the description furnished.

SORES he has heard of the careless,
irresponsible way in which the ostrich
race is perpetuated. by the laying of
the egg in the sand, where it is left to

where there is plenty of sand and heat,
but it will not work in the climate OF

Moreover, the ostrich is a bird of

democracy. By the time it would be

would yet be talking about it.
We would recommend some other
kind of mascot, one of quicker though
even of less sturdy and magnificent
