Medina Boy Writes
of War Experiences

CA letter from Andrew Long, to
his mother, Mrs. Mary X. Long.)
Dalheim, Luxembourg,
November 28, 1918.
My dear mother:
Have just finished my reports and
so have found little time to devote
in writing to you. It's Thanksgiving
day again, but as you probably know,
we work just the same. A year ago
today we We're in ,Villiers-le-Bec, a
small town near Ligny and not far
from Barleduc; you won't find it on
any map except one that gives the
names of very small towns as that is
the type Of place we are usually To-
Gated in. We are in small town
now in the country of Luxembourg,
about eight miles from the German
border. You see we are part of the
Occupation troops" and so ! don't
know when I'll be back.
Understood that censor rules have
been lifted quite bit, that's why !
am so free about what I say. If
they haven't been this letter will
never get thru. Have never had
letter turned back yet, and hope
to keep my record up.
We all clipped in and bought a
calf and apples, etc., for dinner to-
day. Things are awfully high in
/, this country, but we had to celebrate
Thanksgiving some way and the gov
ernment couldn't furnish thing, so
we paid without howl. You can't
buy soap here, they haven't any; sugar
is one dollar pound, and eggs are
seventy-five cents apiece, that is when
you can get them which isn't very
often. Bought some butter the other
night for three dollars a pound. Now
do you still think you have high
prices at home?
Has been raining for the past two
or three days but today the SUN is
shining and is a pretty fine day. This
time last year it was mighty cold, but
have had hardly any cold weather yet
this winter and don't think we will
Haven't been sick at all and am feel
| ing as good today as I ever have. You
would still know me tho I think, as
haven't changed bit as far as
can see and | know my weight hasn't

You should have seen this company
on the eleventh Of this month. We
were at the front near Sedan anc
above Buzanzy, in town named Vauz
en- Dieulot, when the rumor came in
that an armistice had been reached
This was about 9 o'clock in the morn
ing and as you know the armistice
didn't go into effect until II O'Clock
that day. At that time we had only
heard the barest. rumor and didnN

Nov. "a, 1918.
My Dear Father: 4
Today has been set aside for all
soldiers to write a Victory Letter to
their fathers. We are allowed to
write almost anything we wish to. I
have lots to tell you, but would rather
wait until / get home, so | won't go
into detail at all. u
I don't know whether ever told
you about our trip across or not, but
it was a nice trip, and nothing unus-
ual happened. We were on the water
twenty-five days and landed at Liv-
erpool, England, Sept. l, 1917. We
got right off the boat onto a train
and travelled across England. Birm-
ingham was the only large city that
we passed through. We arrived at
South Hampton about o'clock and
at six that night we were put on an
other boat and sent across the Eng
lish Channel We made the trip with
out any trouble and the following
morning we unloaded at lie Havre.
We stayed at a rest camp for a
couple of days. Rest! Our beds
were made Of baling wire.
We left there and went to the
Grondrecourt Area, short ways
from Liginy. We landed at our des-
tination Sept. 6, 1917. It was small
town where we stayed all winter. We
took over the Toul sector in January
and it was there that experienced
the horrors Of war.
1t was on Easter Sunday that we
received orders to move. The divis.
ion entrained and after couple Of
days ride and long hike we ar
rived at the Picardy sector. We helo
this front for nearly three months
during which time we captured Can
tigny, the first town captured, by
American troops. Everybody was
tired out and all expected rest
We started to move on July A, hiking
forty kilos. We rested here until thu
entire division was relieved. We heart
all kinds of rumors about going to |
rest sector near Paris; well, we hiket
and hiked, getting about seven kilo'
| from Paris, but no signs of a rest
We kept on hiking and it was for tht
front.
We stopped on the morning of July
IL, 1918. Three o'clock in the after
noon we were loaded on trucks ant
taken to the front. Without any res
we went over the top on July 1S
1918, att Scissors. We drove th'
Germans nearly ten miles, capturing
thousands Of prisoners. After fiv'
days Of hard fighting and about tw'
meals we were relieved; still looking
for that long rest, but it was only fo
three or four days.
/ Once more we entrained and Wen
back to the Toul area. We took owe
| quiet sector for about three weeks
i We were relieved and went to tn
rear about forty miles. No, we didn'
| rest, but drilled from eight to twelv
hours day. Then we drove the Ger
mans from st. Mihiel. Here we ha
| a hard time keeping up with the Gel
mans. We stayed in a German res
camp for few days.
4 Once more we started hiking, an
such hike. Always at night and
rained every night. We stayed in th
woods in the day time, wet and sleeI
ing on the wet ground with q lionel
blanket,
We landed in the Argonne sectc
and I was half sick, but we all stuc

EXLD ANARCHIST GOING
HOME TO HEAD UPRISING
Malatesta, Granted Amnesty BY
Italy, Believes "Cause" Will
Win This Time.

& LONDON, Dec. 4-Free to return to
his native land under the recent am
nesty for Italian political offenders,
the famous Italian anarchist, Mala-
tesla, is trying to arrange transporta-
ton home to lead a revolution against
the monarchy.
To destroy the entire monarchial
regime and establish a government OF
the proletariat is Malatesta's avowed
purpose.
Malatesta ned from Italy in 1914
following the collapse of the revolu
tion be attempted in that year. Ever
since then he has been an exile in
London, sentenced to- death by the
Italian courts for LEAKING an armed
conspiracy"
When Italy extended amnesty to po-
litical refugees his name was included
in the list. Then the voters in his dis
trict elected him to the Chamber OF
Deputies.
The anarchist leader IS nearly sixty
years old now and his life of prep
aration" for the revolution which he
predicts has been full of hardships.
But his dark sunken eyes flashed
with q fiery enthusiasm for "the
cause" even in the wretched surround
ings of the hovel in Soho, which is his
London abode.

BALTIMORE, Dec. Chemists for

cial report yesterday that the bottle

CLAIM SINKING Of
FOEFLEET ORDERED
British Admiralty Quotes Com.
mand Given BY Germany
to Won Reuter-.

LONDON, Dec. 4.-The admiralty
has issued q statement denying the
German governments claim 1t was
not in communication with Admiral
Won Reuter- at the time he sunk the
interned German fleet, which he COM
manded at Scapa Flow.
The statement, issued by Commo-
dore H. F. B. Sinclair, director of
naval intelligence, gave extracts from
aboard the German cruiser Emden
when she was salvaged.
The letters as quoted in the ad-
miralty statement, showed plainly that
Won Reuter- had received communica-
tions from his government.
Discover sinkiaS Order.
Copies of Won Reuters sinking or
der also were discovered in the En-
den, the statement said. One of the
communications now in possession of
the admiralty is letter dated May o
from the chief of the German ad-
miralty to Admiral Won Reuter-.
This letter said the fate of the in
termed German feet would be decided
at Versailles and that 1t was "the
duty of the German delegates to safe
guard the ships and to arrive at a
solution in accordance with German
traditions and rights. The first con-
dition is that the ships remain Ger
man. Their fate will not be decided
without our cooperation.
Surrender to the enemy is out Of
the question"
Won Reuters order for the sinking
of the feet was quoted in the ad-
miralty statement as follows:
Order Is Quoted.
Commanding officers are ordered
to make necessary arrangements for
the sinking of ships. 1t should be
insured that each vessel sinks as
rapidly as possible after receipt of the
order"
The vessels were to be sunk upon
personal orders from Won Reuter-, or
in event the British tried to take
forcible possession, the statement
said. II the German government
agreed to turn over the vessels to
the allies then Won Reuter- said he
would do so.
Commodore Sinclair's statement
pointed out that German ships ar
rived at Scapa Flow on June II.
"Curiously enough" he added, sit was
on June II that Won Reuter- issued
his sinking orders"
Won Reuter- still is interned at
Donington.
