of my travels and the different Of
fensives our division took part in.
We landed at LIE Havre, on the
English channel, and after few
days in rest camp, entrained for
Gerardunier, La-Voges, in the foot
hills of the Alps and a short way
from the border of Switzerland.
There our infantry got their first
dash in the trenches. There was
practically no activity, except scout
ing patrols and sniping. After a
few weeks there, we followed the line
to the north as far as st. Die and
again went into the trenches and
threw out an offensive and captured
Frappel, which is in Germany's por-
ton of Alsace. We were cited for
being the first division to capture and
hold German soil We then moved
northwest through Baccarat, Sspinol
and several other smaller towns, stop
ping for few days here and there
to get equipped and then we moved
into St. Mihiel sector, and on Sept.
IL, our artillery started the most
deadly barrage of the whole war with
collection of field pieces varying
in size from three to sixteen inches
and enough to keep an incessant
rumbling for 70 hours without a
single break. l shall never forget
that night and day, nor will any
member of the Fighting Fifth" di-
vision. At daybreak, Sept. IL, our
infantry went over the top and were
showered with a sweeping barrage
from the Huns and met with machine
guns on every parapet. At the same
time our artillery was hammering on
the Huns front line eight miles to
the rear and in 10 hours from the
time we launched our drive we had
taken our objective and about $4,000
prisoners. However, the Fifth di-
vision did not take all the prisoners.
There were divisions both on the
right and left flank, but the Fifth
was the shock division and fought the
hardest battle. Our field hospitals
and ambulance train did excellent
work, caring for the wounded. At

Very Interesting Letters From Our Heroes The Service

ter holding our position for a few
days we were relieved for rest and
replacement. We then moved
through Nancy and Toul to Troucey
and were held in reserve for about
two weeks and then to the north
west of Soniby and southwest of
Verdun. We again dashed in the
Argonne front, and on Oct. ~, we
saw our boys slain by the thousands
trying to gain the heights of Mont
Forcon. This is where the crown
prince stood and overlooked the bat
tie of Verdun in 1914. After many
days hard fighting they pursued the
enemy to the north into the Argonne
woods and again many lives were
lost before they were routed from
the woods, and then they gradually
gave way after desperate rear guard
fighting and heavy shell fire. In a
few days we had driven them through
several well fortified places. They
gave way to the east bank of the
Meuse river and there we lost heavi-
ly crossing the Mouse. All bridges
were blown up, consequently our
dough boys had to swim the river in
plain view of machine guns and thus
gained the haights east Of the Meuse
and captured Duer- Sur-Meuse, which
is where we are at present. How
ever, we pursued them back to
Loupey, and at II a. M, Nov. II,
we were ready to go on when the
news came to cease firing, that the
armistice had been signed. You
may imagine how we welcomed the
news, for we had had hardly time to
bury our dead and dead Germans
laying 20 miles behind US. We were
relieved near Sedan and have had
several days rest and are now moving

stay and see that all the terms of
the armistice are made good and an
everlasting peace made, and we are

suppose a day late will not spoil the

we have ever been allowed before.
We are supposed to tell our fathers
how we as individuals helped win
the war.
Well, / won't criticise the one who
introduced this idea, for think it a
good one, but / don't, and | am sure
that there is not even one self-re-
speeding American soldier who cares
to boast of the many, many graves
in France. And, to tell how the war
was won, we must attribute all the
success to the brave boys who gal
lantly fought until death. They
are the boys who won the war.
When l stop to consider my part
in this struggle and compare it with
the boys who have filled bloody
grave, or who have lost an eye or a
limb, / can't help feeling that my
efforts and sacrifices were so little
that l have done nothing. I have
been surrouned for the past several
months with conditions that | never
imagined could exist. can't realize
what our boys, along with our al
lies, have struggled through. No one
can realize such conditions until they
are actually seen. Such suffering
and unselfishness would have SEEM

versal. I have not seen more of this

Mr.. Lewis statement as to the earn {.

wage scale are misleading and made
with intent to mislead the public" said
MrM Brewster "The present scale is the
highest ever received by the miners
union and the demand for coal during
the ensuing six months will give them
the highest earning power they have
ever had.
"The operators believe that the pres

"The operators have at all times been
willing to negotiate a new wage scale
on its merits, provided the miners would
disentangle the subject from ridiculous
and impossible demands. The operators
offered to resume negotiations as TO the
new wage scale and to refer all points on
which we could not agree to arbitration,
and upon receiving the Presidents re-
quest we agreed to submit all questions
to negotiation and arbitration, provided
the strike order would be withdrawn.
The miners have refuse to withdraw the
strike order. and the Presidents second

INSPECTORS AFTER
FOOD.SLACk GAMERS
Unscrupulous Dealers Mix
Water With Solids, Charge.

say that action under the law Will be
taken against violators.
the practice of slack-flling food cans
in the opinion of the officials. is demoral-
iziny to the trade and unfair - the con-
sumer To put full can In competition
with slack-filled can places the honest
Gamer at disadvantage. The consumer
almost invariably receives more for his
money when buying a full can than when
buying slack-filled can even though he
pays higher price for the full can. In
some instances, however when the can
ner sells his slack-filled cans to the
trade at prices lower than the market
price for full can, the consumer is
charged as much for the slack filled can
as Tor the full can. In such clses both
the Gamer and the dealer share in unfair
profits at the expense of the consumer.
Putting excess liquid in cans adds un-
necessary expense in canning, storing
and shipping, since the excess LIQUID re-
Quires more cans and increases freight
and storage charges all along the line
through the hands of the Gamer, broker
the wholesale and the retail grocer. Since
\this additional and useless expense is
borne invariably by the consumer 1t
adds its part to the high cost of living.
Ths Bureau of Chemistry has con-
Quoted investigation to determine the
exact amount of solid food of various
fruits and vegetables that can be placed
most economically and efficiently in the
standard-sized cans in order that the fill
of can may be standardized. Standard
ization of canned goods, with reference
to both quality and quantity, tends to
stabilize values. The results of these
Investigations have been distributed
widely among Gamers.
Federal inspectors have visited as
many canneries as practicable during the
canning season to supplement the writ
ten reports with personal instructions.
II is the intention. say the officials, to
invoke the full power of the food and
drugs act to stop the shipment into in
terstate and foreign commerce of slack
filled cans. The Federal food and drugs
act. however. does not apply to canned
foods consumed within the State where
canned. Such canned goods are con-
trolled entirely by State laws, The food
officials are of the opinion that there is
no excuse whatever for any Gamers to
continue the uneconomical and unfair
practice of slack-filling cans.

CHILE PREPARES TO

Her Fleet Sails as Peruvian
Menace GroDs.

SANTIAGO. Chile. Oct. 27 (delayed) =
The Chilean cruiser Esmeralda sailed
northward yesterday, and other units of
the Chilean fleet are being prepared Cor
sea duty. 1t is rumored they will follow
the Esmeralda. This step on the part
OF Chile follows insistent reports of
probable revolution in Peru, and infor-
nation that the Peruvian Government is
making military preparation in the
southern part OF the country for the a.
legged purpose OF diverting popular at
tention from the revolt which is said to
be impending.
officials of the Chilean Government
did not wish TO commit themselves as
to the sailing of the Esmeralda further
than to say that the measure was one
made against possible events. Informa-
tion received from the authoritative
scource, however. is to the effect that
the Government, while 1t does not ex-
pect a conflict, sent the Esmeralda
northward in advance OF the Chilean
feet to show that this country was
prepared to maintain order on the north
ern frontier and would not permit reyo-
lutionary movements in any way to
touch Chilean territory or to involve
