SEES GUN DROPPING HUNS.
Man of 3l0th Machine Gun Bat
talon Writes of Terrible Battle.

FREDERICK, Nd, January 49,
Private Vernon c. Mosberg, living
near this city. member of the 31Oth
Machine Gun Battalion, who was
wounded in action in the battle of
Montfaucon, In a letter to his parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles H. .Mosberg,
wrote:
Il suppose you were. worried when
you heard l was wounded, but 1 did
not mind It, / was hit in the bip
drive at Montfaucon, and shall never
forget that name. While we were ad-
vancing German shells dropped every
where. One shell dropped near our
gun, killing some of our mon and
wounding others. l was one of the
wounded. A piece of shrapnel struck
me on the head and I was taken to a
base hospital unconscious and oper-
ated upon. After five long weeks my
wound healed and 1 am now feeling
fine.
when the armistice was signed one
of the hardest battles of the war was
raging. l stood by my gun and saw
Huns fall as We fired. 1t was a living
Il among the falling shells. Every
foot of ground for miles was ripped
up. The Germans lost more men than
we did. 1t was an awful sight It was
only God and our prayers that saved
our lives. / heard several of the boys
say how they prayed to get into
hole. The average person cannot real
ize what we had to endure. / feel
lucky that 1 am living, but money
could not, If possible, buy my expert
ence."
He had two brothers in the service,
who have been discharged.

MEADE MEN TO
LEAVE FOR RUSSIA

Meade medical officers have been
asked to volunteer for service in Rus
sia. where fight is now being waged
against the plague of typhus fever
which Is now sweeping that country.
Already considerable number of
officers have volunteered for the sery-
Ice, which will be conducted, it Is un-
destood by the civil authorities. While
the officers will be operating, per-
haps. in the uniform of the American
Army. it is probable that they will
not be under orders of the American
Army In Russia, but work as detached
men under orders from the civil
health authorities.
DIR. Joshua Rosett of Baltimore,
who married Miss Louise Carey sew
eral years ago under very romantic
circumstances, is now at the head of
a mission which is now touring Rus
sia and telling the people how to
guard against the typhus and it's at
tending lis. They are travelling by
train from point to point and COW
ering as much ground as possible so
as to spread the latest scientific meth
ods quickly
Lieut.. Col. Pillsbury is cooperating
in this matter in every way possible,
although the demand for good med
ical officers is great now, owing to
the homecoming of so many wounded

A-thinkinR 10 myself
OF how we made the kaiser run
Himself almost to death.
The kaiser knew there was no use
To stand against the boys,
For you all know well as us
That we're not merely toys
We went right in to win the Z yht
As good Americans do;
We stuck TO II both day and night
For the Red. White and Blue
Ill say right here we did our best
To stop autOcracy;
To make the world q safer place
For true democracy.
Our allies. though. were faithful, too;
They fought, they bled. they died
Their blood was pure. their heart was true.
For victory was their pride.
And here we send our Pre- sident
To France to help make peace,
And here we wait with ba tied breath
So We can rest with ease

Maj. Lewis Ripley. field director OF
the Red Cross in Meade. has gone into
the transport service of the same So
ciety and has been succeeded here by
Mr.. George A. Feeny of Wheeling,
w. Va. who has been In the work In,
Newport News about five months.
Mr.. Feeny was a lawyer. in Wheeling
and his work qualified him especially
for the Red Cross in this country
where the handling Of intricate busi-
ness questions for soldiers constitutes
large share of the work
With Mr. Feeny will be associated
Herbert G. Bailey Of Hartford. Conn,
who will haye charge of the house
for convalescents at the Base Hospi-
tai. He was induced to come here by
Maj. Ripley. who knew him many
years in that city. Mr. Bailey sue
ceeded Mr.. Allen, who went to Fort
McHenry Hospital, Baltimore.
Maj. Ripley's Brother Here.
1t is interesting to note also thae
Maj. Riplev's brother. George Ripley,
is here ard will do Red Cross work.
Like his brother, the director. Mr..
Ripley was al insurance man in Hart
ford and his work carried him ali
through New England.
The Red Cross has opened a canteen
at Disney, which will be used for the
benefit of departing troops. Mrs.

sides giving complete satisfaction in
the general management of Red Cross
affairs here Ae inaugurated a system
of indexing by means of pins and a
map the entire system of Red Cross
canteens and baths in the United
States. Whenever a troop train leaves

often nowadays. the Red Cross gives
complete information of the available
canteens, etc. to the officer in charge
or the train. so that he can telegraph
ahead of the arrival of his train at a
certain point and have the proper
comforts provided for his men,
