Hill TOO, and eighty-two in Manila.
Only God knows how many times
my demolition men went forward,
They were coming and going so
fast there was no possible chance
of keeping tally on them. But just
to give you some idea as to the
ratio of casualties even for such
hazardous work we only had one
killed Bob Cope, of Greenville,
Ohio, who incidently held the DISC
for Hill 700-and IL wounded, none
seriously. OF course luck plays a
great part in a record such as that.

ed. On this side of the big pond
there is no such thing as time-and-
a-half for Sundays and all hours
over 8.
This Division has very close to
$50 days of combat duty to it's cre-
dit since the beachhead at Lingay-
en- on January 9th, and although
now considered as in semi-garrison,
is still getting it's share of the
Nips. There is no use in going into
our moves since our landing as
you probably have kept up fairly
well with us through news chan
nels. However, for a thumb-nail
sketch / might iot down the follow
ing. In our moves from Lingayen
to Manila to Raguio to Balete Pass
to Bayombong to here, we have
participated in three distinct cam
paigns, and have played the major
roll in each. During all this we
have engaged in practically every
type warfare in the books: open
plains, river crossings, house-to-
house, rugged mountain terrain,
and semi mountainous terrain or
rolling hills. In all these, General
Beightler has proved himself the
master, and some of the other out
fits on this Island have been put
to shame on several occasions by
his Slam-bang methods of going in
and scattering the Nips to the four
winds where they (the other out
fits) had tried for weeks and were
Stalemated,
Tom, there isn't a thing of inter-

However, it will be we'll worth it
just to get away from it all for a.

of the word, and many times we
were ahead of the foremost ele-
ments of the Battalion, burning

bad as all that, although we were
shot to pieces in Manila. Our re-

1t would seem that some such
plan would be sensible. Such a plan
under the supervision of compe-
tent leadership, backed by a
strong government, plus a religi-
Gus people will have something to
do, with making the kind of a
world we want.
Trinity Lutheran Services
Trinity Lutheran church fitting
ly observed the coming of peace to
the world by throwing open its
doors to all Immediately upon the
receipt of the glad message. BY 8
pm. Tuesday hundreds had gather
ed there and at that hour the first
service of praise and thanksgiving
was conducted by the pastor, the
Rev. E. j. Goedeking
This service was informal and
consisted of prayer and praise and
the reading of the Scripture. Past
or Goedeking delivered short
address for the occasion reminding
his hearers of the solemnity of the
occasion and calling them to reVer-
ent and quiet thanksgiving in view
of the great price paid for the vic
troy.
The congregation held their
formal service of worship at s pm,
Wednesday when approximately
500 worshiperS filled the church
and joined in one of the most
solemn and reverent services ever
held. The service was divided into
four parts, the first, Praise and
Thanksgiving, which opened with
the organ prelude, Nov Thank
We All Our God, with D. A. Vet
ter at the organ. This was followed
by the singing of the hymn of the
same title and the reading of the
Scriptures and the Prayer of
Thanksgiving The second part
took the worshippers to their
knees in humiliation and penitence
with the pastor and congregation
joining on the 'Litany of Peni-
tence". Then followed the singing
of the anthem, Praise Ye The
Lord by j. B. Molitor, sung by the
combined choirS of Trinity.
The sermon for the occasion was
then delivered by the pastor in
which he called upon the people to
make VI day a day of gratitude
to God, a day of humiliation and
penitence, a day of commemora-
ton, and a day of dedication. He
pointed out the staggering reSpon-
sibility which rests upon America
and its people now since the war
has been won, and declared that
unless everyone dedicates them
selves to the winning the peace,
unless everyone highly resolves to
spend a little more time for lit
tie more mercy, and love and truth
and faith, and sympathy in their
own lives, this day of victory could
be day of shame and mockery.
Following the sermon the pastor
led in the third part of the service,
callig upon the people to
remember those who had made
the hour of victory possible in the
''Litany of Commemoration" The
last part of the service entitled
Dedication" saw the worshipperS
resolving before God to dedicate
themselves anew to the cause of
peace and to the preservation of
the dearly bought and cherished
freedoms for which so much young
red blood has flowed to mingle
with the dust of the battlefields of
the world. The service closed with
the singing of the Hymn of Faith
and Hope, the benediction, the
doXolOgy, God Bless our Native
Land, and the postlude, Allegro
Maestro" by G. F. Handel.

FirecrackerS Unearthed

Ille Hill gave VOICE
Firecrackers UneaTthed
FirecrackerS, left over from
Fourth of July celebrations of
former years, were unearthed,
while many began firing shotguns
and rifles into the air.
One boy, driving a model A Ford,
contriVed to make his car back
fire with every stroke of a piston
contributed more than his share
to the din as he drove back and
forth through the Square.
Rain, which had been threatening
all evening, began falling in ear
nest shortly before 9 pm. to drive
many people off the streets who
were not in cars.
But the rain failed to dampen
the enthusiasm so the noise of the
celebration continued for some
time thereafter. Late in the even
ing, after having been silent for
more than an hour, the tile mill
whistle gave a sort of farewell
blast, which was answered by the
milk plant whistle, and neither was
heard again.
Red Flares Are Burned
Crowd of Celebrants at the
Public Square was not as large as
many had expected, possibly be-
cause of the rain but more likely
because most people chose to stay
in their cars and drive around
town with horns blasting away.
Many of those on foot were teen
age boys and girls, who obtained
red flares. Soon these appeared
throughout the downtown area and
several boys, unhampered by the
rain, rode around on tops, engines,
TENDERS and spare tires of automo-
biles, waving the flares.
Providence must have been
watching over tthe happy throng,
knowing that they were entitled
to all tthe celebrating they could
do, for there were no accidents.
No Accidents OF Consequence

amount of it, was orderly, and

Unfit Meat
Sale Charged

State and federal authorities di-
rected a double barreled legal at
tack today against the Huler Beef
CO., 4079 Deming, accused with its
proprietor. Robert Huler, of selling
as ground beef a combination of
meat and meat byproducts which
was allegedly unfit for human con-
sumption.
Pathological chemists, who ex-
amined samples of the meat, pre-
sented such widely divergent opin-
ions that their testimony in
recorders court yesterday brought
sharp demand from Judge Ar
thur K. Gordon for briefs that
would clarity the state agricul-
ture departments case against
Huler under the Michigan pure
food law.
Meanwhile, the OPA has sued
the Huler company in federal
court for triple damages. charging
that some 100000 pounds of the
ground up combination had been
sold as ground beef since
August, 1914.
In the suit, the OPA asserted
that the meat was contaminated,
did not meet ground beef stand
ards and, if sold at all. could be
sold under OPA regulations only
after the filing of an application
for special ceiling prices.
Instead, the Huler company sold
ii at its own price of II cents a
pound, it was charged.

Detroit builders announced q,

William j. Guinan, executive
director of the Builders Associa-

Detroit builders would start no
new residential construction and
would cease ordering lumber for

He said that waste of lumber

fact that the builders have no
dispute over wages, hours or
working conditions.
"The only points at issue are
methods of subcontracting and
