With that thought in mind the Whitman County Service Recora came into being. It has been the earnest endeavor of the pub- lisher to make this record as complete as pos- sible under the many trying conditions. The extreme size of the county made it difficult of access at all times, and the indifference of a few persons precluded the hope of making it as complete as was first expected. A contributing factor to this condition was that a large number of service men were of a more or less transient na- ture. Many had been residents of the county but a very short time before entering the service, and failed to return upon their discharge. Therefore it was impossible to trace them and secure the necessary photographs and service records. It was impossible to picture the Red Cross so- ciety officers as befitted them. Not a few of the ladies were reluctant to allow their photographs and records of service to be used, and in many instances complete records of the activities of the many auxiliaries have not been available, due to the inability to record all matters during the stress of war times. However, many of these noble women have responded to the call and are shown in this volume. The matter of securing photographs of the men who made the supreme sacrifice has been one of great concern. In a few instances photographs were not available, none having been extant, and in others those existing were of the poorest char- acter possible. In using narratives of the experiences of men from Whitman County, there has been expended every effort to secure as many as were available and to not overlook any one. However, owing to the large number of men in service, it was impos- sible to interview each one, so no doubt there were many items of great merit that did not come to the notice of the publisher, consequently are not incorporated in this volume. During the many months of time expended in compiling this volume the heartiest co-operation was given by the people of Whitman County. Among those who have co-operated to the fullest extent might be mentioned the several photog- raphers of the county: E. E. Kennell of Colfax, Ralph Cline and J. R. Stephenson of Pullman, G. B. Joslin of Palouse, C. W. Klepfer of Oakesdale, and John Langbehn of Tekoa. Each rendered a most valuable service to the people of the county who were interested in making a permanent war record and to the publisher, by his great willing- ness to make photographs of service men and of those engaged in the various branches of home activities. The many courtesies extended the publisher by the press of Whitman County aided materially in the work. The ladies of the Red Cross auxiliaries are to be commended for the interest evinced in the work and for the valuable assistance rendered. The chairmen of the various drives and cam- paigns in the county have been of great assist- ance in furnishing statistics concerning the county's participation in the campaigns of giving, all of which will be of interest, not only to the present generation, but of those yet to come. To the men who responded to the call to the colors; to the many men who were unable to go and remained at home and gave of their every ef- fort and of their finances; to the noble women of the Red Cross Society who made such sacrifices that the men at the front and in the camps might be as comfortable as possible, and to the loyal citizens of the county in general who backed up the fighters at the front with their money, their efforts in food conservation and their moral sup- port, this volume is respectfully submitted.

McRea, of Montreal, Canada, was killed on duty in Flanders, January 28, 1918]. Ill Flaiidcr's fiehl.s the jioppics blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in tJie sky The larks, still hravelij singing, fly, Scarce Jieard amidst the guns below. We are the dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie III Flanders fields. Take up our cpiarrel with the foe! To you from falling hands we throw The torch. Be yours to hold it high! If ye break faith witJi us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow III Flanders fields.

Page One Hundred Ninety-Five Splendid Record of Whitman County in Support of the Red Cross By WM. GOODYEAR Whitman County splendidly maintained its pat- riotic record in the support ot all war activities by its loyal response to the call ot the Red Cross. The first Red Cross drive was made in June, 1917. C. L. MacKenzie of Colfax acted as county chairman and U. L. Ettinger ot Colfax as business manager. Whitman County's quota was fixed at $43,000.00. but the subscriptions totalled over $47,000.00. when the drive closed. In the second Red Cross drive, which came dur- ing the week of May 20-27, 191S, Whitman County's quota was fixed at $40,000.00. Wm. Goodyear of Pullman acted as county chairman and S. M. Mc- Croskey of Colfax as secretary. The county was divided into three districts with W. C. Fudge of Colfax, D. L. Clarke of Rosalia, and J. N. Scott of Pullman, as supervisors of the respective districts. The slogan adopted was, "Let's go over the top the first day of the drive," and this ambition was real- ized, $44,096.30 being subscribed on Monday May 20. The subscriptions by towns were as follows: Quota .Subscribed Albion $ 600 $ 625 Colfax 9.500 12.149 Colton 1,000 1.171 Elberton 600 702 Endicott 1,000 1,055 Farmington 1,000 922 Garfield 2,250 2,038 Hooper 600 675 Johnson 500 519 LaCrosse 2,000 2,111 Lamont 1,500 1,500 Maiden 1,000 1,200 Oakesdale 2,250 3.000 Pine City 1,000 900 Palouse 2,000 2,300 Pullman 4,300 5,500 Rosalia 2,000 2.100 Steptoe 500 645 St. John 2,000 2,100 Tekoa 2,000 2,100 Thornton 1,000 1,050 Uniontown 1,000 1,030 Winona 500 400 The first Red Cross roll call after the signing of the Armistice, came in December, 1918, and once more the people of the county responded cheer- fully and generously to the support of the organ- ization. Wm. Goodyear of Pullman again acted as county chairman and S. M. McCroskey of Colfax as secretary. The work of soliciting memberships was turned over to the ladies and they proved their interest and efficiency by securing 9,580 members. The membership drive tor 1919 resulted in the securing of 5,250 dollar memberships over the county. There were few slackers in Whitman County when it came to Red Cross work. Men and women cheerfully answered every call made upon them and gave liberally of their time and money to carry on the good work. All seemed to appreciate the force of the appeal. "Remember that the more Red Cross supporters there are in the United States, the fewer wooden crosses there will be in France to mark the graves of our boys," and there were very few city or farm homes in the county which did not display Red Cross flags in their windows. In addition to the financial support given the Red Cross, vast amounts of hospital supplies were turned out by the several branches and auxiliaries in Whitman County, and invaluable services were rendered during the influenza epidemic by the Red Cross members. This was especially true in Pullman when several hundred members of the S. A. T. C. stationed at the State College of Wash- ington came down with the disease. Hospital wards were opened in three churches and placed in charge of the local branch of the Red Cross, which rose to the crisis splendidly and was a very important factor in handling a difficult and serious situation. In a word, the people of Whitman County have on every occasion and in every way. demonstrated their loyalty to the American Red Cross, "The Greatest Mother in the World."

Page Two Hundred Fifteen a < o < o M H O < p-l O An Illustrated Review of the World War (Copyrighted. Published l)y permission Biiekbee-Mears Co.) WHEN the World War ended on November 11. 1918. the armed forces of twenty-five nations of the globe had been hurling their armies against each other for more than four years in the most colossal struggle of history. After a conflict without parallel, it ended in its fifty-second month with a casualty total nearing the ten million mark. Set off by the murder of an ordinary Austrian archduke on June 28, 1914. by a Serbian political fanatic, the conflagration which had threatened the peace of Europe for decades, was thus des- tined to embroil the leading powers of the world in the most costly and bloody strife known to man. After a month's diplomatic argument over the affair, Austria formally opened hostilities with her declaration of war on Serbia. General mo- bilization followed quickly in Russia; a "state of war" was almost immediately declared in Ger- many. Then on August 1 Germany declared war on Russia, following this with an ultimatum to Belgium demanding that her troops be given free passage across that country. On August 3. the Teutons included France on the list of enemies. This was fol- lowed the next day by an ultimatum to Ger- many from Great Brit- ain demanding that the neutrality of Belgium be respected. When this assurance was not granted b y Emperor Wilhelm, Great Britain declared war on Ger- many. A quick succes- sion of declarations fin- ally involved the great- er share of Europe by the end of the summer. Mad with the ruth- less spirit of conquest, the Central Powers march- ed their armies off to war in grand fashion, boast- ing that they would return by Christmas time, the conquerors of Europe. Their amazing prepara- tions for the dream of world power brought with- in their grasp the greedy ambition of the Junk- ers. The initial successes of the German army in its advance through Belgium and toward Paris as- tounded the world. England and France reeled and staggered before the terrific onslaughts of the famous Prussian Guards and the other crack regiments of the Central Powers. Swept off her feet, the fate of France virtually hung from a thread as the invaders triumphantly swept on and on. Early in September, when they were practically within reach of Paris, the tide was turned against them in the battle of the Marne, September 6-10. French themselves attribute their good fortune at this point to the hand of the Almighty rather than to their superior military strength at the time. This marked the enemy's point of farther- est advance. The atrocities of the advancing Huns during the months of their early triumphs and conquest have been called infamous by conservative jour- nalists and correspondents. Suffice to say, their bloodthirsty ambition to rule and conquer the world knew no bounds, and that their acts and deeds of disgrace will forever remain one of the darkest of the many blotches brought on the Ger- man people during the European war. Believing that the United States had no part to play in the war at that time. President Woodrow Wilson, on August 4, 1914, officially proclaimed the neutrality of the United States. The war was thus confined to Europe for many months, a struggle mainly between the two great European Alliances — the Triple Alliance composing Ger- many, Austria Hungary and Italy, against the Triple Entente, composing England, Russia and France. Italy, originally a member of the Triple Alliance, but later one of the chief powers of the Allies, did not enter the war until 1915. She declared war on all of Germany's Allies, but did not break with Ger- ^ ' many herself until late in 1916. Before the war she was a member of the Triple Alliance with Germany and Austria, but severed this con- nection to fight with the Allies. After the marvelous advances of the first year, the great battle line in Europe remained practically stationary a n d extended over more than three hund- red miles. The large armies of each force fought doggedly, suffered heroically and died willingly, in a mighty death- grip whose battles surpassed the most famous of previous wars for loss of life and destruction of property. The superb armies of the Russians in the East- ern theater kept the attention of a large German force occupied and away from the Western front. This fact aided the Allies tremendously and prob- ably prevented a German peace in the second and third years of the war. It was while France, England and Italy were staggering before the last big offensive of the enemy early in 1918 that America's force was thrown into the balance in substantial numbers. Her declaration of war against Germany on April 6, 1917, grew out of the Central Powers' fail- ure to recognize the rights of neutrals on the high seas. Repeatedly the rights of the United States were violated, and just as repeatedly Germany re- fused to discontinue her ruthless program of sub- Courtesy Glen Traniil] VIEW OF THE ARGONNE FOEEST.

The sinking of the Lusitania on May 7, 1915. without warning and with the loss of 1.154 lives. 114 of whom were Americans, was regarded by a great many as just cause for a declaration of war against Germ.any. The President and Congress believing differently, failed to act. and it was not until more sinkings of ships bearing women and chil- dren that the "United States decided to step into the breach herself. Regarded as a mere "bluff" by her adversaries, the United States' entrance apparently failed to cause undue anxiety in Berlin. With an un- prepared democracy for another enemy in which a great many were be- lieved to have been op- posed to war, Germany had little cause for worry, she declared. But America went to work. The act pro- duced an electrical ef- fect on her people and almost united her var- ious factions, creeds, parties and nationali- ties for one purpose — to crush Germany and her Allies. She became a workshop, with no hours, in her determination to end the European fight victoriously, and thus save democracy for the world. Every effort was bended to the cause, every penny of wealth was eagerly held ready for the call, and every atom of energy was expended in her feverish haste to redeem mankind. Her sons by the hundreds of thousands rushed to the colors, as their fathers did in the wars of their day, to see another victory added to the flag which had never known defeat. That the dis- tribution o f soldiers throughout t h e land might be as nearly equitable as possible, Congress passed the Se- lective Service Act in May, 1918, the greatest mobilization m a c h i n - ery developed by any of the twenty-five nations at war. Naturally there were obstacles and delays, A nation's task in rising up over night to send a formidable force three thousand miles overseas to fight for world free- dom is not the kind that can be accomplished without some disorder and delay and union did it, and on June 26, 1917, only two months after the declaration of war, the first Amercian doughboy landed on French soil. On November 3, 1917, the Yanks had their first clash with the Germans, On January 31, 1918, a report reached America 'hat American infantrymen were occupying first line trenches for the first time. Bv this time the United States had declared a (_Ntvirtcsy Kiisiyn <_". E. Miller AN AMERICAN MAN O'WAK. BATTLESHIPS But loyalty state of war existing with Austria Hungary, Ger- many's chief ally, and had swung her domestic machinery into the greatest war machine con- ceivable. She had begun to raise by popular subscriptions billions of dollars to supply guns and munitions, and food and clothes, for the boys who were going over to France to do the job. Four Liberty Loans were floated during the war, and total subscriptions to these amounted to between eighteen and nineteen billions of dol- lars. The amount was taken by more than fifty million subscribers, and was to be only an insig- nificant ifactor in the financing of the ,war according to the Treas- ury Department. This cost, when compared with the war for four years — approximately four billion dollars — is proof enough that the World War was not comparable with any previous war in his- tory. In April, 1919, following t h e Armis- tice, another, a Vic- tory Loan of approxi- mately the same pro- portions as the Fourth, was floated. The wonderful prompt and gener- ous response of the nation to each of the calls of the Liberty Loans was one of the greatest sources of inspiration tor the man in uniform who had gone to fight for those at home. The same patriotic generosity that marked the success of the Liberty Loans was evident in each one of the scores of war work drives that were conducted for the various relief and welfare organizations. Food conservation — conservation of man-pow- er, the work or fight order, the noble work of the women who sewed and knitted night and day tor the Red Cross and the boys, the curtail- ment of profits and the simple economy that " >. was practiced by the rich and poor alike, were but a few of the many war time meas- ures that characterized the life of America's hundred and some mil- lion people during the year and a half which she was at war. No history of that war will ever have room for a just story of the part played by the home folk — those who waited and prayed, and worked and gave, to keep the "home fires burning," Foremost among the initial problems of Ameri- ca, after preliminary plans for the raising of her army had been laid, was the problem of transport- ing it to France, so that its strength might be thrown against the Hun on the battlefields. Ship- ping was not available, and even though it was be- in increased at maximum capacity, still there was C()urt^'^v Ensign C K. iliUiT IN ROUGH SEA, Page Two Hundred Eighteon Ax Ii.Lr.sTRA'rKi) Kkvikw of the Would War not more that half as much as was needed to trans- port the men in the numbers they were being trained and in the numbers they were needed by France and England and Italy. England gladly placed her available shipping at the disposal of the United States, and before the war had ended she had carried more than one million Yanks to the side of her own men and those of the French, or nearly half of those who had gone overseas. The importance of the United States Navy in the war can hardly be exagger- ated. Within less than a month after hostilities were declared, she had sent a detachment of des- troyers to European waters. By October, 191S, there were 33S ships of all classes flying the American flag in foreign waters. The operations of the Navy during the war covered the widest scope in its history. It operated in European waters from the Mediterranean to the White Sea. At Corfu. Gibralter. in the Bay of Biscay, on the Irish coast, to the English channel ports, in the North Sea and at Archangel, it did creditable work. This ser- vice was not as brilliant p e r - haps as that of the army, be- cause the na- ture of its vital work kept it from the front. Even though i t s activities were probably less glorious, still they were none the less important ami necessary t o the cause. Naval men served on near- ly 3,000 craft that plied the waters of the German globe, on sub- marines that had no fear of the underseas perils, and in aviation where men of courage fought and prevented surprise attacks with new-found weapons. In diplomacy, in investigations at home and in all parts of the world by naval officers and civilian agents, in protecting industry from enemy spies, in promoting new industries and enlarging older ones to meet war-time needs — these are a few of the accomplishments that are constantly in the part part played by the Navy in the winning of the war. Shortly after the declaration of war. the sub- marine problem had become so acute and the merchant ship losses so great, it became neces- sary to adopt more effective methods in dealing with the problem and making shipping safer. The system of convoy was adopted at the suggestion of President Wilson. This, although it slowed up shipping by fully twenty percent, enabled a com- paratively safe passage of troops and was prob- ably the greatest stroke of the Navy during the war.

During all of the time the United States was engaged in the war the enemy's naval forces, with the exception of the submarines, were blockaded in his ports. This, of course, pre- vented naval engagements of a major character. The destroyers, submarine chasers and patrol vessels, however, waged an unceasing offensive against the submarine menace to shipping and troop convoy, and only three vessels were sunk. These were the Antilles, the President Lincoln and the Covington. Each was struck on her re- turn voyage, so that the loss of life was com- paratively small. Only three fighting vessels were lost as the result of enemy action — a patrol ship, a torpedo boat destroyer and a cruiser. The other transports and destroyers struck by the enemy during the war reached port without loss of life. Other transports carrying United States soldiers went down but these were being con- voyed by the British Admiralty. Chief among these was the Tuscania, sunk off the coast of Ireland F'ebruary 5, 1918, with a loss of 110 lives. The most serious loss of life in the navy as a result of its war-time ac- tivity resulted when 111 offic- ers and men of the coast guard cutter Tampa perished when their vessel was sunk in Bristol Chan- n e 1 .

With its record of phenomenal transport service in protecting troops and shipping against the ene- my submarine offense; its splendid co-operation with the British fleet in keeping the German navy in port and Germany herself blockaded; its stellar work with the giant 14-inch long range guns at the front, and its subsequent spectacular feat in first bridging the Atlantic by air, the United States Navy had a share in the World War which al- though as previously stated is seldom character- ized as brilliantly as that of the Army and Marines, still was equally important and essential in keep- ing the war wheels turning victoriously. The story of the activities of America's two million doughboys and marines in France is one which should be told in volumes rather than in paragraphs. From the time of their first clash with the Germans on November 3, 1917, until they "let go" the last unwelcome guests against the German lines early November 11, 1918 — their deeds are a succession of courageous and Page Two Hundred Nineteen With the Colors from Whitman County brilliant performances in the line of duty. "Wlien I think of their heroism, their patience under hardships, and their unflinching spirit of offensive action, I am filled with emotion which I am unable to express," General John J. Persh- ing declared in commending the officers and sold- iers of the line of the American Army. "Their deeds are immortal, and they have earned the eternal gratitude of our country." This simple tribute to the brave American lads who fought and died in France is indicative of America's reverence for her heroic armies. Their glory and fame will always live by the side of the deeds of their forbears in previous wars. In May, 1917, shortly after war was declared. General Pershing, well known for his punitive expedition into Mexico, was selected by the War Department to command the American Expedi- tionary forces that were to go to France. After gathering about him a small staff the general set sail. His reception in both England and France was only equalled by the readiness of the com- manders of both armies to co-operate with the United States in the prosecution of the war, ac- cording to the general's own report. His general staff was organized in a short time and detailed plans worked out for the or- ganization and train- ing of millions of Ameri- can soldiers who were expected in France to help finish the Hun. Training areas, design- ed to give the final seas oning to fresh troops arriving from the States before their entry into the front lines, and offic- ers' schools for the var- ious arms of the service were established. Extensive construc- tion provided vast ware- houses, supply depots, munition storehouses, and the like for the huge task ahead. Although France offered much in the way of both ordnance and quartermaster property for the use of the American Army, still enormous quantities of ma terials of all kinds had to be brought across the Atlantic. Flocking into the army from civil life were thousands of professional and business men with splendid talent along the lines needed to bulid up this important service of supply that was to keep the A. E. F. in action. To meet the shortage of supplies due to the lack of ship- ping, representatives of the various supply de- partments were constantly in search of supplies and materials in Europe. A general purchasing agency was provided, in order to better co-ordinate the purchasing end and to prevent competition be- tween departments of the army. So successful was this system in the American Army that it was almost universally adopted by the armies of the Allies before the war had ended. "Our entry into the war found us with few of SEA PLANE FOLLOWING A "CRASH." Ensign Cleo E. Miller of Pullman and a companion dropped 2000 feet at Pensacola. Fla., and sustained but few injuries. Ensign Miller was killed in a crash with a commercial sea- plane at Coeur d' Alene, Idaho, July 19, 1920. the auxiliaries necessary for its conduct in the modern sense," General Persliing declared in his official report. "Among our most important de- ficiencies in material were artillery, aviation and tanks. In order to meet our requirements as quickly as possible we accepted the offer of the P''rencii Government to provide us from its own factories with the necessary artillery equipment for thirty divisions. In aviation we were in the same situation and here again the French Gov- ernment came to our aid until we were able to set our own air service program under way. The necessary planes to train the air service per- sonnel were provided and we secured from the French a total of 2,676 pursuit, bombing and ob- servation planes. The first planes to arrive from America came in May, 191S, and a total of 1,379 was received during the war. The first American squadron completely equipped by American pro- duction, including airplanes, crossed the German lines on August 7, 1918. For tanks we were com- pelled to rely upon the French. We were less for- tunate here, however, for the reason that the French were scarcely able to meet their own pro- duction requirements in this respect. It should b e remembered b y every American that the French Government ilways took a most lib- eral attitude in endeav- oring t o supply the shortages in the Ameri- can Army." Speaking of the sold- iers in Europe, General Pershing outlines with words of praise the work done by the var- ious welfare organiza- tions and of the respon- s i V e attitude found among the soldiers by these organizations. "The welfare of the troops touches my re- sponsibility a s com- mander-in-chief to the mothers and fathers and kindred of the men who went to France in the impressionable period of youth. They could not have the privileges accorded the soldiers of Europe during their leaves of visit- ing their relatives and renewing their home ties. Fully realizing that the standard of conduct that should be established for them must have a perman- ent influence on their lives and the character of their future citizenship, the Red Cross, the Young Men's Christian Association, the Knights of Colum- bus, the Salvation Army, and the Jewish Welfare Board, as auxiliaries in this work, were encour- aged in every manner possible. The fact that our soldiers, in a land of different customs and language, have bourne themselves in a man- ner in keeping with the cause for which they fought, is due not only to the efforts in their be- half, but much more to other high ideals, their disclipline, and their innate sense of self-respect. It should be recorded, however, that the mem- bers of these welfare societies have been untir- ing in their desire to be of real service to our Page Two Hundred Twenty Ax Illt'.sti!atj:i) Eevieav of thp: World War officers and men. The patriotic devotion of these representative men and women has given a new significance to the Golden Rule, and we owe to them a debt of gratitude that can never be en- tirely repaid." The First Division of the American Army, after finishing its preliminary training behind the lines, went to the trenches for the first time in October, 1917. as the first contribution to the fighting forces of the Allies. By the time that the great German offensive in Picardy began, on March 21. 191S, the American army had four experienced di- vision in the line. The great crisis that this drive developed, however, made it impos- sible for the Americans to take over a sector by themselves. Gradually, as their numbers in- creased and more reserves, fresh from the States, were placed in training behind the lines, the American boys went in in substantial numbers. Already they had displayed their splendid fight- ing cjualities and had demonstrated that as sol- diers they had no superiors. Incidentally, it did not take them long to convince the enemy that contrary to their own opinions, they themselves were not invincible. On August 30, 191S, the American forces tooli: over the first American sector, i n preparation for the St. Mihiel of- fensive. The American line was soon extended across the Meuse river to the west edge of the Argonne forest. The concentration of tanks, aviation units. artil- lery equipment, and ma- terials of all kinds for this first great Ameri- can offensive was enor- mous. The scores of elements of a complete army were moulded to- gether, with American railroad and American service of supply units throughout. The con- centration included the bringing up of approximately 600,000 troops. The French Independent Air Force, together with Brit- isli bombing units and American Air Forces, placed the greatest aviation personnel that ever took part in any Western Front offensive under the direct command of General Pershing. On the day after they had taken the St. Mihiel Salient a great share of the corps and army ar- tillery that had operated in that offensive was on the move toward the area back of the line be- tween the Meuse River and the western edge of the Argonne. The German General Staff was well aware of the consequences of an American success along this line, and it was determined to use every available American division in an effort to force a decision at this point. The attack began on September 26. The work of the American army and of the American engineers in this drive will forever remain in the memory of genera- tions to come. Forcing their way through the densely wooded and shell torn areas, this fight Austrian and Czechs near Vladivostok July 3. 1918 was one of the most brilliant battles of the war. The offensive was maintained until October 4, in the face of innumerable wooded patches of snipers and concealed machine gunners. Fresh troops with little experience were thrown in with their seasoned comrades, who had become veterans over night with this most crucial battle, as their teachers. The second phase began with a renewed attack along the front on October 4. More positions were taken with a precision and speed that always characterized the Yank army. Their dogged offensive was wearing down the enemy, who, continuing desperately by throwing his best troops against them, was helpless before the spectacular advance. At this juncture two divisions were dispatched to Belgium to help the French army near Ypres. On October 23. the last phase of the Meuse-Ar- gonne offensive began. Violent counter attacks by the enemy lost him heavily, while a regroup- ing of the American force was going on for the final drive. Plain evidences of loss of morale in the enemy forces gave our men added courage and spirit, and finally, using comparatively fresh divisions, the last advance was begun on Novem- ber 1. It was apparent at this time that the end was near for the enemy. Our increased artillery support did remarkable work in supporting the infantry, which by its dashing advance of the several weeks preced- ing had destroyed the Hun's will to resist. Between September 2i; and November 6 they had taken 26.059 pris- iiiiers and 468 guns on i!iis front. The divisions engaged ill this, the most im- portant o f America's battles in the European war. were the 1st, 2d, 3d, 4th, 5th, 26th, 2Sth, 29th, 32d, 33d, 35th, 37th, 42d, 77th, 78th, 79th, 80th, 82d, 89th, 90th and 91st. Many of these di- visions remained in line or a length of time that required nerves of steel while others were put back in line after only a tew days of rest. When the armistice was signed following a complete routing of the enemy by Americans in the Argonne forest there were in France, accord- ing to General Pershing, approximately 2,053,347 troops, less the casualties. Of this total there were 1,338,169 combatant troops. Up to Novem- ber 18 the losses were; Killed and wounded. 36,145; died of disease, 14,811; deaths unclassi- fied, 2,204; wounded. 179,625; prisoners, 2,163; missing in action, 1,160. As against this casualty total, the American forces captured about 44,000 prisoners and 1.400 guns, howitzers and trench mortars. In this short summary of the principal activi- ties of the United States' part in the great war it is obviously impossible to more than skim over the various features of the great war machinery. C'liirtesy Harve.v Cupenliaver. AN EXECUTION IN SIBERIA. German prisoners and Bolsheviks killed by Page Two Hundred Tweuty-One With the Colors from Whitman County The heroism and gallantry of the boys who fought and died over there; the unceasing devotion and courage of the parents and citizens at home who stood by them so unselfishly; and the determina- tion of everyone, young and old, to unite for the common cause, setting aside their personal de- sires and interests, was responsible for the glor- ious victory in which America was so conspicu- ously instrumental in bringing about. Outstrip- ping a hundredfold the dimensions of any previous war of the United States, the task accomplished was a revelation to all who viewed it in retro- spect. The accomplishments of the Liberty Loans, the devotion of the millions of mothers and sisters in behalf of the Red Cross, the wonderful response of the country to the operation of the Selective Service Act in raising an army of millions — the sacrifices of all, at home and abroad, were univer- sal during the year and a half at which America was at war. Loyalty and love of country were terms with new meanings. Sedition was lurking only here and there, and this was promptly done away with through the efficient secret service department and popular opinion. The four million American boys who were under arms, many of them at the front and the remainder eager for the chance to jump in, convinced the world that the fighting blood that gave birth to their nation had not been diluted through the riotous living of a century. The brave lads who gave their lives and are now buried over there went to their fate with hearts full of joy, and in a manner that gave courage to the veterans of four years who fought beside them. And their brave mothers in the States who waited in vain for peace to bring their sons back to them, made the greatest sacrifices within their power with a courage and willingness that was unequalled even by the Spartans themselves. When the history of the great European strug- gle is permanently written, there will be no more brilliant chapters than those telling of the part played by the United States of America in stamp- ing out militaristic autocracy from the world.

The first troops sailed from Hoboken June 13, 1917, and debarked at St. Nazaire June 26; others followed in rapid succession, except the supply train which did not arrive until May 6. 1918. Infantry went into training in Condrecourt area, and artillery at Valdahon. The division entered the line October 21. 1917. in the quiet Luneville sector, near Nancy, each unit being attached to a corresponding French unit. At 6:05 a. m„ October 23.

The division commenced leaving for overseas early in June and the complete organization was in France by June 30. The most of the division was sent to the Aignay-le-Duc training area. The division spent six weeks in that area. In the middle of August it was sent to relieve the First Division in the Saizerias sector along the Moselle river. The division entered the line for the St. Mihiel offensive. On Sept. 12 infantry went over the top and reached objectives by 2:00 p. m. On the 13th 180th Brigade captured the Bois le Prete; the 179th Brigade cleaned out the Ven- cheres. On Sept. 14 the same brigade pushed for- ward to the La Souleuvre farm and the ISOth captured Villers-sous-Preny. On the 15th the ad- vance was continued, Vandieres taken and the line established along the Huit Chemins (White Chimney). At close of St. Mihiel offensive the sector extended to the Moselle river. On Sept. 26 First American Army of which the Ninetieth division was a part, commenced the last great battle of the war. The heaviest attack occurred west of the Meuse. Early in October the divis- ion was relieved by the Seventh Division. The division, after a rest, was made a part of the Third Corps. Ninetieth Division participated in capture of Bantheville. Established a line along the Aincreville-Bantheville road and held position until Nov. 1. when an advance was made on the enemy lines. The advances continued, the at- tacking forces driving the Germans back to the Meuse. The Ninetieth Division broke the line at Freya Stellung which gave control of the railway from Sedan to Montmedy. On Nov. 9 the 179th Brigade crossed the Meuse at Sassey, and soon occupied Mouzay. Blanc Fontaine was captured and a foothold secured in Stenay.

The division began leaving Camp Lewis June 19, 1918, for overseas, the move continuing until early in July and was through Camp Merritt, Cam.p Mills, England and Prance. The first units of the division sailed from the United States on July 6, 1918, and the last units arrived in France July 26. 1918. All units of the division, artillery excepted, were trained in the Eighth training area, France. The artillery was trained in the vicinity of Clermont-Ferrand, France. The divis- ion left the Eighth area Sept. 6, and from Sept. 11 to the 14th constituted a part of the reserves in the St. Mihiel offensive, moving thence to the northwest of Verdun, where it took an active part in the Meuse-Argonne offensive, Sept. 26, advancing from west of Avocourt to north of Ges- nes. Continued in the offensive until Oct. 6. when it moved to the Nattancourt area. One brigade stayed in the line with the First Division until Oct. 16. On Oct. 19 the division passed to the command of the king of Belgium. From Oct. 31 to Nov. 4, the division, under the direction of the French army in Belgium, took part in the Lys-Schneldt offensive west of the Escaut river in the vicinity of Audenarde. From Nov. 10 to Nov. 11 the division took part in the Lys-Schneldt offensive east of the Escault (Schneldtl river in the vicinity of Audenarde. A detachment of the division on Nov. 22. 1918, participated in the ceremony in connection with the entrance into the city of Brussels of the king and queen of Belgium. In December, 1918, and January, 1919, the di- vision moved to the Le Mans area. In March and April it embarked for the United States. Casualties — 5,838, of which 23 were prisoners of war. To include March 1, 1919, 19 individuals of the division were awarded distinguished service crosses. Page Two Hundred Thirty-Three The Surrender of the German Fleet (By Leonard W. Hooper, Aboard U. S. S. Florida). The downfall of one of the greatest navies of the world is an event that will long be remember- ed. It will probably be many, many years before such an event will again happen, and perhaps never if the proposed league of nations is adopted. In the latter part of October, 191S. the British grand fleet, accompanied by a squadron of Ameri- can dreadnaughts, was lying at anchor in the Firth of Forth — lying peacefully at anchor, but ready at any moment to put to sea if the German lleet chanced to venture out. The British grand fleet is by no means a small one. On the contrary, it is the most powerful fleet that has ever been assembled. The fleet at that time was com.posed of 37 great battle ships, nine heavy fast battle cruisers, seven heavy cruis- ers, 32 light cruisers, a squadron of four aero- plane ships and countless destroyers and submar- ines. This included the squadron of American dreadnaughts. composed of the New York, Texas, Arkansas, Wyoming and Florida. It has been said that the cause of the mutiny in the German high seas fleet was the ordering out of that fleet on November 5, and no man of the combined fleets of the British and Americans doubts that the Germans knew what would hap- pen if they left their base. The German crews well knew the outcome, and, rather than go to certain destruction, mutinied. Contrary to reports that the Grand fleet was out on the sixth and sev- enth of November searching tor the German fleet that was reported out, we were still at anchor, al- though four of the American ships did go out of the Firth on the seventh for manouvers and for the New York to fire five fourteen inch guns. As we received press news by radio several times daily, we were aware of the great victories on land and were anticipating the downfall of the Central Powers in the near future, and expected the German high fleet to make an appearance be- fore it surrendered. On the morning of November 11 we received a message stating that the armistice had been sign- ed and that hostilities would cease at 11 a. m. of that day. Now that the armistice was signed and hostilities were over, it was time to celebrate. The celebration did not start, however, until dark. About 7:30 a few British vessels began blowing sirens and 'whistles, sending up rockets and playing their searchlights over the harbor. In just a few minutes every vessel had joined the celebration, and not a man who saw the harbor with the rockets and searchlights coming from every ship and lighting it will ever forget that memorable night. The day following messages were exchanged be- tween a British shore station and a German sta- tion. Admiral Sir David Beatty of the grand fleet asked that an authorized representative be sent to arrange details of the surrender of the enemy fleet, together with all submarines. Admiral Meurer of the German navy was designated and saih 1 from Wilhelmshaven en the cruiser Konigs- berg November 14 to a rendezvous named in the North Sea. He was met and escorted to the Firth of Forth on November 15 by the British cruiser Cardiff. The Konigsberg was the first German ship to know Immunity on the high seas for over four years. Admiral Meurer was taken aboard Admiral Beatty's flagship, the Queen Eliza- beth, and there details for the great surrender were arranged. Returning to his ship. Admiral Meurer sailed for Germany the following day. From the messages exchanged, vpe found that the surrender of the heavy ships of the German fleet was to be made Thursday, November 21. Everything was in readiness and we were await- ing a chance to get a glimpse of the once great fleet. One incident that will always be remembered occurred that day. King George V. and Queen Mary reviewed the grand fleet from the cruiser Oak, which passed the great warships as they lay at anchor. Perhaps this was to get a probable last look at each ship before taking chances with the German navy. On the evening of November 20, every vessel in the fleet rigged for sea except the aero squadron. A few days before this a French cruiser and two destroyers arrived to take part in the surrender. The fleet was now composed of British. French and American ships, comprising a total of 86 large ships and a large number of destroyers and sub- marines. The flrst British squadron weighed anchor at midnight, followed by the remaining squadrons in order. On the ships of the American squadron reveille blew at 3:00 a. m. The crew, having the ship rigged for sea, did not have to get up to per- form that duty, but on this occasion all hands "hit the deck." The only accident on board the Florida occurred when a seaman's trousers became tangled in the anchor chain and he lost his leg just below the knee. We put to sea at 3:15 a. m. As I said before, the first British squadron weighed anchor at midnight and all of this time ship after ship steamed out of the Firth of Forth. The American squadron, weighing anchor at 3:15, was not the last squadron out of the Firth. From the length of time it took for the grand fleet to get out of the harbor, some idea of its size may be formed by the reader. It took from three and one-half to four hours steaming at about flfteen knots to get out of the Firth. All minor preparations were made early so that we would be in complete readiness by 9:30 o'clock, the time the German fleet was to be at the designated rendezvous. We had an early break- fast and were through at daybreak. Contrary to published reports, the ships were not cleared for action. This would not hinder the use of the big twelve- and fourteen-inch guns, however. I doubt if any five-inch shells would have been used in case of an engagement, because we meant busi- ness. We arrived at the rendezvous early to be in readiness for any kind of a reception that the Germans wanted to give us. Two great columns Page Two Hundred Tlurty-Four HlSTOKY OF OVEKSKA.S DlMSIONS of battle ships with battle cruisers and light cruis- ers and with countless destroyers, zig-zagging and playing around, the big ships were drawn up in readiness. Of course everybody was on deck to get the first glimpse of the German ships. During the intermin before the appearance of the Ger- man ships the grand fleet circled and passed back and forth. At last the message came. General quarters sounded and every man went to his battle station. The cruiser Cardiff, while scouting for the Ger- man ships, had found them and flashed the posi- tion to the grand fleet. The little cruiser turned in front of the mighty enemies and they followed her in single column between the two great columns of allied vessels as a lion would follow its keeper to its cage. They had surrendered and no more complete victory had ever been won by a naval force in the history of the world than that of the grand fleet over the German high seas fleet. Immediately the message was flashed to the Admirality at London from the flagship Queen Elizabeth: "At 9:30, grand fleet met nine battle ships, seven light cruisers, and destroyers of the German high seas fleet which surrendered and are being brought to the Firth of Forth." Nine battle- ships, five battle cruisers, and fifty destroyers! What a fleet to surrender without firing a shot! It must have been a bitter pill to swallow, but they well knew the consequences if they fired a single gun. Again, contrary to the articles in the newspapers, the big guns were not trained upon the German ships. They were in a secure posi- tion — trained fore and aft. A move from the German fleet, though, and they would have all been fired in less than ten seconds. These great ships were escorted to an anchor- age outside of the nets of the Firth of Forth and were then inspected and placed under guard. At 2:30 o'clock p. m. the following message was sent to Admiral Von Renter, the German com- mander in charge: "The German flag is to be haul- ed down at 1:57 today. It is not to be hoisted again without permission." And so it was that the prowess of the German high seas fleet came to an end and at last the German flag was lowered from the once great fleet, second only to Britian's. Immediately messages began to come to Ad- miral Sir David Beatty. not of congratulations, but of sympathy for the grand fleet that the victory was accomplished without damage to the enemy ships. The surrender, as it was, perhaps, was best. We did not expect sympathy, but the Ger- mans would have needed it had the engagement taken place. Now that the surrender had been accomplished, the American squadron prepared to return home. The Nevada joined us on the 22d inst. and the six great dreadnaughts steamed out of the Firth of Forth in single column on December 1. Admiral Hugh Rodman was on his flagship. New York, and was leading. Next followed the Texas, Arkansas, Nevada, Wyoming, and last, but not least, the Florida. Every British ship gave each American ship as it passed a hearty cheer which was re- turned. That the true spirit of friendship prevailed at all times is shown in the following messages be- tween Admiral Beatty and Admiral Rodman: "Commander in Chief Grand Fleet to Sixth Battle Squadron — Your comrades in the grand fleet re- gret your departure. We trust it is only tempor- ary and the interchange of squadrons from the two great fleets of the Anglo-Saxon race may be repeated. We wish you good bye. good luck, have a good time and come back soon." In answer Ad- miral Rodman sends: "Admiral Rodman to Ad- miral Beatty — Your friendly and brotherly signal of Godspeed deeply appreciated by the officers and men of your Sixth Battle Squadron. We will never forget the hospitality which has made us feel as a part of one big family and we intend to maintain that relation for all time. We all hope to serve again under your command." At the Front with the Ninety-first By M, CHRHTENSEN, Private in Machine Gun Company, 361st Inf.intry The 361st regiment landed at Le Harve, France, July 20, 1918. At this place we entrained and went to Is-En-Bassigny, France, where intensive training began. In about two weeks my company moved to Thivet, where we trained for nearly a month. After leaving the training area we were placed in reserve for the Saint IVIitchell sector. The 91st Division did not go to the Saint Mitchell sector at all. Shortly after being placed in reserve the Di- vision was sent to the Argonne Woods where the big American drive started September 26, 1918, at 5:30 a. m. On the night of September 25 the big allied bar- rage was started. Everything was peaceful until about 11:30 p. m., when thousands of guns began to roar and bellow. It seemed like the world had gone mad, for the noise was great enough to awaken the dead. The big guns continued to send out greetings of shrapnel, "H. Es." and gas all that night and part of the next day. At about 12 o'clock midnight my company was moved up close to the batteries of heavy artillery. It surely made us feel good to know that we had so many effect- ive weapons to aid us in starting Fritz on the run. A few days prior to this time we were told that when we went over the top at the "H" hour, suf- fering, hunger and sorrow would follow. These facts bore a considerable significance with many of us during the night while the barrage was in progress. We went over the top the next morning at 5:30 a. m. I expected to encounter machine gun fire, but much to my surprise all we could see was shell holes and smoke. After I saw the holes that our artillery had made I knew why we did not have opposition at first. About noon the echoes of the IJoche machine guns could be distinctly heard. Soon we came across some of my com- rades who had been killed and wounded. This took Page Two Hundred Thirty-Five With the Colors from Whitman County all the joy out of life for me. Shortly afterward we met a couple of Yanks bringing in a bunch of Huns. This made me feel better and also made me want to even up matters with the enemy for killing and wounding my comrades. By now one could see American soldiers rounding up prison- ers in all directions. At that time I witnessed a humorous incident. One of our long, lanky sold- iers was chasing a Hun, apparently both going about the same rate of speed. Sammy could not gain on him. but with the extension of the bayo- net, contact was produced. It was comical to see the Boche jump about ten feet and stick his hands up. Early in the afternoon I received my first big scare. A German aeroplane flew over us, giving the signal to his artillery as to our location. Soon I heard a whizz and then a bang. It was the first greeting from the enemy artillery. I did not have to be told to get down. I fell flat on the gound as low as I could get and tried to get lower. I was mighty glad to be close to terra firma. Several shells came over during the rest of the afternoon. My nerves were tuned up to a high key during the remainder of the day. At night practically all the shelling ceased. Our first day was only an initiation for those that followed. The next day we saw war in its worst stages. At Epinonville the infantry was held up by enemy machine gun nests. The Boche could see the ad- vancing Americans but it was difficult for us to see them. We went farther ahead into an orchard which was full of snipers. Every time one of our men would stick his head above the bank behind which we sought protection, a bullet would sing past his ears. We had to go farther to the front in order to locate the enemy machine gun nests and mop them up. To accomplish this we took ad- vantage of a hedge. But there were openings in the hedge where the observers could see us as we passed. We got to our position all right. Just as our guns were ready for action, an order came to fall back, as the Boche were preparing to blast out our artillery. The enemy, seeing that we were falling back, gave us a dreadful baptism of ma- chine gun fire as we appeared in the open places in the hedge. Many of my comrades were wound- ed here. The enemy had his fire directed about knee high. I had the presence of mind to jump on the top of the bank that extended along the hedge, just above where the bullets were strik- ing. I traversed the open places with great rap- idity, before the enemy could play his guns onto me, getting out of sight. At this time the Boche directed a heavy artillery fire at us, causing a great many causalties. The deadly artillery fire continued for some time, but the Americans did not falter or break. It was the ardent desire of my regiment to close with the enemy forces. About 1:00 p. m. I helped a wounded man to the dressing station. When I returned my company had moved away. One could see soldiers in all directions so it was difficult to locate a given or- ganization. I went to the orchard where we had been in the morning which I found to be again filled with snipers. My only weapon was a pistol, so with it in one hand, I searched for my company and the snipers. The air was full of bullets which continually sang past my ears. Finally I found my company which had gone back to the original position taken in the morning. Several of our ma- chine guns opened fire on points ahead, such as the doors and windows of the remaining houses. One of our guns blew up an ammunition dump. Our guns soon silenced the enemy machine guns. On the sky line we could see a few of the enemy run for safety as it was getting too hot for them. The allied artillery decided to drive the enemy out with another barrage so we again withdrew. Unfortunately all of the enemy had not been driven out and we received another hail of ma- chine gun fire, which was followed shortly by heavy artillery fire. It was now dark and we did not attempt to go farther, so dug in on the reverse side of the slope during the early part of the night. We were under intense artillery fire a good portion of the night, many of the shells landing too close to be com- fortable. A shell or some kind of a projectile came over and exploded in the air near me. Molten steel or iron was scattered all about me. Two days and three nights had passed, during which time we had practically nothing to eat or drink. We were desperately hungry and thirsty. The next morning (September 28) we enjoyed a breakfast of hard tack and corned beef (corned Willy). Our breakfast had just been eaten when the shells began to fall around us. Immediately we took up another position. Fighting continued with great intensity all that day. My company was called on that night to strengthen the front line in case of a counter attack on the part of the enemy. Notwithstanding a heavy downpour of rain, which made things disagreeable, fighting continued all of that night. On the morning of September 29 I went with a detail for rations. On my way I witnessed one of the sad incidents of the war. I came across Lieut. Newland, a fellow student of mine at the State College of Washington, who had been killed by a shell. For a moment it made me feel quite ill. It was surely gratifying to know that he died fight- ing and still facing the enemy. His position on that field of battle demonstrated that he was a brave warrior. In the afternoon of that day the enemy found that we were located in the woods just back of Gesnes. This discovery was followed by an un- merciful artillery and machine gun fire. Despite this we went over the top. I am proud to say that the way the men conducted themselves was wonderful. Gesnes was captured and held. We maintained our position on this ridge until re- lieved — a period of 100 hours. By now the Huns had painted the American colors on their aeroplanes to enable their aviators to fiy over our lines. We, believing that they were our men, did not take to proper cover. The avi- ators would then report our whereabouts to the artillery and we would be well shelled. Another Hunnish trick was to shoot at our men with a ma- chine gun until the last moment and then com- pletely surrounded, with no avenue of escape, throw up their hands and shouted "kamerad." On the night of October 3 at about dark, the enemy put over an intense artillery barrage onto us, which was estimated at 700 shells per minute. It was the worst that we had ever experienced. After the barrage had ceased the glad news that we were to be relieved came. We were tired and Page Two Hundred Tliirty-Six Experiences in Camt and in Trench it made us teel good to know that we were to have rest. The regiment marched back a few kiU)- meters and bivouacked in the Cheppy woods, at which place we remained four days. Scarcely had we been relieved than we were called upon to resume fighting. The men were expecting to march to the rear when the order to go back to the front came from the ISlst Brigade. Not a man whimpered as he marched back to the line with his pack on his back. At about 4:30 p. m. on October 7, we started back toward the firing line and arrived at our po- sition early the next morning. The march was a tiresome and tedious one. The members of my company carried their guns and a lot of ammuni- tion. I was so tired that each step that I took seemed like the last. There was a heavy down- pour of rain during the entire march. The bri- gade spent four days on the front line and was then relieved. During our stay we encountered in- tensive artillery and machine gun fire. We were relieved October 11. The men were very much in need of relief, for all were weak, weary, sick and hungry. We had slept so long with our shoes on that our feet were terribly swollen and very sore. It was great torture to make the trip back to the safety zone as walking was the only means of travel that most of us had, and the way was long. Experiences in Camp and in Trench SGT. G. W. NORRIS IN GERMAN PRISON CAMP Severely Wounded on Battle Field and Captured By Enemy — Mourned as Dead by Relatives. Sgt. George W. Norris, son of IVlr. and Mrs. E. M. Norris of Seltice, six miles south of Tekoa, is probably the only service man of Whitman county who was an inmate of a German prison camp. Of his experiences the Tekoa Blade said; "Sgt. Norris was a member of Co. C, 18th In- fantry, of the famous 1st Division, General Persh- ings' own, as it is sometimes called, and said to be the hero division of the American expedition- ary forces. Sgt. Norris spent only six weeks in the trenches, and but four days in the front line before he received a machine gun bullet through the neck, and was unable to fall back with his companions. When he struggled to his feet he saw a large number of German guns staring him in the face. One fellow shoved the barrel of his rifle against the woimded man's breast and was about to discharge it when a lieutenant stopped him. Sergeant Norris says that he had ar- rived at the point where he didn't care whether the fellow shot or not, for he couldn't hurt him any worse. He surrendered his gun and was car- ried through the woods to a first aid station, then transferred to a field hospital, and switched about to four or five difterent hospitals until he fell under the care of an old German doctor who treated him well and succeeded in healing the ugly wound. "His company was sent over the top in the Soissons offensive on July IS. 1918, with Sgt. Nor- ris in the first wave. On the fourth day he re- ceived his wound after undergoing hardships dif- ficult to describe. They crouched in a wheat field where the straws were clipped off with bullets as though a scythe had mowed them down. He saw two companions struck by a high explosive shell, or rather saw them before they were struck, and never again saw a piece of them large enough to tell what it was. "After he had convalesced from his wound and was transferred to a German prison, he spent four months and nine days there with nothing to eat but soup. He says the Germans had no better food than the prisoners. He was made to work, but the labor was light and he received six cents per day for it. On Saturday night he had enough saved to buy a cabbage head, and a veritable feast followed. He saw many prisoners die around him, and heard his comrades bargain for the clothes and shoes of a fellow prisoner in the death throes. The hardships of prison life were hor- rible, but he does not blame the Germans entirely, for they fared but little better. "While confined in the German prison he was reported to the folks at home as among the miss- ing, and for months was mourned as dead, until word finally came that he was a prisoner. He has been decorated for bravery by both the French and the American governments. After the armis- tice Sgt. Norris was returned to his division and spent several months with the army of occupa- tion, coming home with General Pershing and marching 132 blocks in the big parade at Wash- ington, D. C." ROSALIA MAN WOUNDED AND CAPTURED Ernest Erickson, Who Fought at St. Mihiel, Ver- dun and Chateau Thierry, Fell into the Hands of the Enemy. Ernest Erickson, a Rosalia service man, was wounded in one of the many engagements in which he participated, fell into the hands of the enemy, and was held a prisoner until the armistice was signed. He fought at St. IWihiel. Verdun, Chateau Thierry and other battles. Of his experiences he related the following narrative: "At the time I was injured I had been detailed to go over the line with a ration squad, and as we were returning at the darkest hour of the night, we suddenly discovered several Germans within about 30 feet of us. They saw us at about the same time and were ready to shower us with hand grenades. The very first one thrown wound- ed me. The fight then began in earnest, and hand grenades were dropping so thick about me that I thought I would be killed. But I escaped death. Shortly afterward a first aid man came to me and bound up my wounds as best he could, but he was so badly frightened that I bade him to go on and leave me. Two or three of my comrades Page Two Hundred Thirty-Seven With the Coloes rRo:\r Whitman County came and dragged me into an old dug-out. After a time the enemy captured the ground and the wounded men within that area, including myself. They placed me on a stretcher and took me back to a first aid station and then to the regular hos- pital farther back. "When the armistice was signed the American soldiers came in and took me to France where I was placed in a hospital at Treeves. There I re- mained until I was ordered back to 'the states.' " PALOUSE MAN TWICE DECORATED Alvin B. Franzen. youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Franzen of Eden Valley, north of Palouse, wears two decorations as a result of his service overseas: the American distinguished service cross and the French Croix de Guerre, both of which were awarded for bravery displayed while under iire. Mr. Franzen enlisted as a private in Battery B, 10th Field Artillery, in December, 1917. He was soon sent overseas and spent 10 months in France at the front and eight months with the army of occupation. He served throughout the offensives at the Marne, St. Mihiel and the Ar- gonne. At the latter place on July 15, he volun- teered his services as driver to carry ammunition to the front, several of his comrades having fallen in the attempt. He came out unscathed. He was advanced to the rank of chief mechanic before be- ing discharged. THRILLING EXPERIENCES OF PALOUSE MAN Sergeant Major Heitzman Received Two Wounds in Desperate Encounter — Bombed while in Hospital No. 7. Sergeant Major John Heitzman of Palouse has the honor of having seen as much actual service in France as any man in Whitman county. The young man served 28 months in foreign lands, having enlisted in the Pennsylvania National Guard on April 6, 1917, the day after war was de- clared. The Palouse Republic, on which news- paper he was employed previous to the out break the war and on which he was employed at the time this book was published, tells his story to a good advantage. After some months of training, the greater part of which was spent in the South, the Pennsylvan- ians were sent overseas, and there made a wond- erful record for heroism, the names of hundreds from the Pennsylvania National Guard appearing in the casualty lists early in the war, says the Re- public. It was in the battle of the Marne that Heitzman had his narrow escape from death. Two companies of Americans were entirely surrounded by Germans, owing to a misunderstanding be- tween the French and the Americans, the plan having been for the French to reenforce the lat- ter. Heitzman, with the captain of one of the companies, decided that they would not be cap- tured and fought their way through the Germans to safety. The Palouse boy, however, awoke in a French hospital with a machine gun bullet through one leg just below the hip, a shrapnel wound on the head and his lungs full of gas. It was at this time he was reported missing in ac- tion, because of the fact that he was in a French hospital and the American army officials had lost all trace of him. * * * After his recovery he served with the army police for some months, remaining overseas until June of 1919. To add further to the experiences of the young soldier, the hospital — (the famous No. 7) — was bombed by German planes while he was confined therein. ROSALIA SOLDIER BORE CHARMED LIFE Robert Dowling, First Class Private, Hero of Many Battles, Returns Home Unscathed — One of Seventeen to Reach Safety, Knocked out and unconscious tor more than two hours on the battle field of Verdun, and after 18 months of the severest fighting in nearly all of the big battles, Private Robert Dowling has re- turned to parents and friends, said the Rosalia Citizen-Journal of May 9, 1919, in telling of the ventures of one of the Rosalia service men, "It seems just like a dream to me that I am home again, and sometimes it certainly seems im- possible that I could have gone through these ex- periences and come out alive and unhurt," said Private Dowling. "Two hundred and fifty of my company went over the top at Verdun and of that number only 17 of these boys answered roll call next morning. Two hundred and thirty-three of as fine soldiers as ever went into battle were either killed or wounded." Private Dowling landed in Hoboken in the early part of December, 1917, and set sail for England on the Tuscania. His company was taken to the rest camp at Romney. where the English gave them a Christmas dinner of beans and hardtack. From there the division was taken to LeHavre, France, where they entered training. On July 4, 1918, the division was ready and was called to the front, and began fighting with the Twenty-sixth division. After helping defeat the Kaiser's crack troops at Chateau-Thierry, the men were sent to a rest camp. On September 26 the division was ushered into action at the Argonne woods. The Twenty-sixth division had much to do in defeating the enemy in that drive. This division was at St. Mihiel and helped clean out the enemy in less th-an two days. Private Dowling tells of the way the French and Germans fought at St. Sec. a mountain near Metz, a few days before the armistice was signed. On this mountain the German army captured or killed 35,000 French in only a few hours, so when the American soldiers were ordered to take the hill, they naturally supposed that they, too, would share a like fate. To everyone's great surprise the Germans, realizing that the Americans always got whatever they went after, gave ground from the very start and in a few hours' time the hill was in the possession of the Americans. "A bullet hole in my helmet is just one instance of how nearly I came to being one of the 'gotten' ones in one of the battles. "One day during one of the engagements I happened to be standing on a spot the enemy Page Two Hundred Thirty-Eight Experiences in Camp and in Trench had picked for dropping a liigli explosive. It happened to sneak upon me and bursted right over my head — so the lads told me afterward. When I awoke several hours afterwards I was in a dug- out and some of my pals were pouring water over my face to revive me. That little incident put me in the hospital for several weeks. "High explosive concussion is one of the most feared accidents. It was a long time before I could move my legs to walk the least bit; every bit of my body seemed to be shattered from the blow which sent my framework several inches into the ground. "It was an easy matter towards the end, and for that matter any time, to take prisoners. It grew to be a habit with the German soldiers to try to 'ease over' the death blow to the Yankees. The Huns would advance towards us with their hands in the air bleating something about 'Kamerad.' If they held their hands with the palms away from us and fists closed, it grew to be a Yankee habit to nudge them with a bayonet or to let the voice of a '38' sing them to sleep, for too often they carried in their hands a grenade and in coming in close would let the captors have its full force. They soon found out our system of treating such advances and the 'wise' German was the one who advanced with open hands, palms toward us. "The company I was with in one of the scraps lacked ten feet of being surrounded and taken prisoner one day. By a surrounding movement a number of the enemy, far superior to us in num- ber, started to gather us in. We fought them oft the best the rapid fire of rifles would allow, and things began to look pretty black when the Huns got to within ten feet of our lines. We received reinforcements from an excursion party of Yanks and the day was won. "We were stationed near Verdun," continued Private Bowling, "when the report was obtained from a captured German prisoner that the Ger- man bombers were planning a night raid over the city to destroy it. In the evening I saw 150 allied planes take to the air toward the German lines, and while all of those planes did not come back, the Germans did not come over. Every battle had a 'flying circus' of its own, with the amusement left out and the struggle of death thrown in. "In one engagement I saw five of my pals blown up by one shell. Six of us were lying under a tree, or what was left of one, and the old time 'hunch' said, 'move Bob.' and Bob moved. I went about 20 yards away and called to the others to come on. But the mud bed was softer where they were, so they stayed. In a few moments a big shell came over and the poor fellows were put out of the fighting." Private Dowling tells of a breakfast in France that he and several other Yankees ordered but for which they did not wait. "It was in a little French village," he related. "We wandered into a little home and the kind French mother offered us a breakfast. She told us to wash up and then she would get us our meal. "At that moment I did not know the connection between the 'washing up' on our part and the getting of the breakfast on hers. But there was. As soon as we had washed some of the French soil from our hands and faces the mother took the 'wash pan,' placed it on the stove and broke six eggs into it and began frying them. We excused ourselves; said it was getting late and that we would have to be leaving right away." SAW PAL'S HEAD SHOT OFF AT ST. MIHIEL Ed Rickard of Rosalia Witnessed Grewsome Sight in Great Drive — Man had Premonition of Impending Doom. "I saw my pal's head shot off, but his helmet remained on the head even after it was thrown several feet from the body. He was a little Mexi- can, and was always saying. 'Me get shot today, boys; get killed soon." This was the experience of Ed. Rickard of Rosalia, who took part in the drive at St. Mihiel which was the turning point in the great war. Private Rickard landed at South Hampton, England, July 12, 191S, and was sent to Le Harve, Prance. There he remained two days after which time the regiment was sent to Bur- dons for training. The regiment was utilized as a reserve in the St. Mihiel drive. It was then transferred to the Argonne front and on the morn- ing of September 26, at 6:00 o'clock, went over the top. "I will never forget that morning. It was awful- ly foggy, but at 7:00 o'clock the fog began to raise. When we could see we found ourselves com- pletely surrounded by a massive wire entangle- ment. This Iwd been erected to trap us, and there we stood in squad formation. An aeroplane came over and in a few moments the Germans turned loose their 'Big Berthas,' and 15 of our men were killed in just a few seconds. Our captain and one of our sergeants made the supreme sacrifice be- fore we got out of the barbed wire enclosure. We finally got out of the trap and moved forward, get- ting ahead of the other divisions. At this point the Germans flanked us and we were again sub- jected to a cross fire, causing a heavy loss to our division. Thousands of our boys were killed in but a few days time in the Argonne woods. But it was right there that we turned the German army back. When the Germans found that we could drive them from their strongest and best fortified positions, that had taken them years to build, their hopes vanished. When we captured a Boche he would say, 'War about over; German army has gone to pieces; the Fatherland has gone to hell.' "From there the .364th was taken to the Ypres front and placed in the trenches to hold the line. Here again we lost many men." Pullman Naval Officer Undergoes Harrowing Fire Sanford Chapman of Pullman, a navy man of twenty years experience, had the novel experi- ence of being aboard a United States submarine which was fired upon and nearly sunk by a war vessel of the same nationality. Lieut. Chapman then held the rank of paymaster and was station- ed on board the U. S. S. Savannah, a mother ship of a number of submarines. The mother ship left a South Carolina port on an assignment to visit the underseas fleet off the Atlantic coast. It was the duty of the paymaster, in company with a medical oflicer to visit each ship frequently Page Two Hundred Thirty-Nine With the Colors from Whitman County to look after the health and victualing of the crew. While on board one of the submarines a destroyer sighted it and immediately opened fire. Thirty or more shots were thrown, some of which disabled the steering gear and damaged the lighting apparatus. All on board donned life belts, and as the boat came to the surface the members of the crew leaped into the water. The destroyer then steamed up and picked the men up. During the war period commanders of ships had orders to fire upon all submarines and make investigations afterward. QUEER CASE OF LA CROSSE SERVICE MAN Arthur Whitmeyer, Former Canadian Soldier, Disappeared at Calgary, Alberta — Whereabouts Remain Mystery. A strange case is recorded in the mysterious disappearance of Arthur Whitmeyer, a former Canadian service man from La Crosse, who dis- appeared at Calgary, Alberta, following his dis- charge from the Canadian army. Despite a na- tion-wide search, his father. James Whitmeyer, of Lafayette. Louisiana, had not found trace of him up to the time of the publication of this volume. The young man enlisted early in the war from La Crosse. He was wounded August S, 1918, and was in an English hospital for eight months. He was discharged at Calgary on April 5, 1919. Since that date absolutely no trace has been found of the young man. VINCIL F. LEMON DESCRIBES BIG BATTLE Garfield Man Spent Five Days in Midst of Terrific Encounter — Escaped With Machine Gun Bullet in Shoulder. The issue of the Garfield Enterprise of Decem- ber 6. 1918, contained a most interesting letter from Vincil F. Lemon of that place, describing a big battle in which he participated. The letter in part follows: "No doubt you are wondering why there is such a space of time expired since I wrote you last, but that will easily be explained when I tell you that I have been over the top. To you, that no doubt sounds wonderful and glorious, with lots of dash and color, but to me it has an altogether differ- ent meaning, since I have experienced its effect. Speaking to you frankly, I spent five days of a perfect hell, and two days in particular. At the present hour I am in one of the convalescent hos- pitals, out of the sound of the guns, and I am very thankful for that. The reason that I am here is because I got a machine bullet wound in my left shoulder. It was a ricochet shot, but it felt like I had been hit with a brick. "When 1 last wrote you. we were camped in the woods just back of the French second line trench- es, waiting for the hour to come when the big drive should commence. At last we left the old camp ground and moved slowly along the narrow road up over the big ridge to the trenches. "At 5:30 o'clock in the morning we went over the top behind a smoke barrage. The Germans had an idea of when we were coming over, so they dropped a few big shells over their barbed wire entanglements, and they stirred us up a plenty, for the second wave was going over, and 1 was in it. The concussion of one of the shells knocked me off my feet with dozens of others. "Immediately after crossing the entangled, shell- plowed ground, we crossed a deep, narrow creek, and then we entered the Germans' front line trench. After passing the enemy's second line trenches we came to a road that ran through the woods, where we met the other section of our company, and as we were pretty close up to the first wave, we took to cover in the woods by the road, and were ready for a rest. We had all found cover and had laid down about ten minutes when a big shell came whistling through the air and struck at the side of the road in the edge of the woods. We were ordered to scatter and find what protection we could in old shell holes. About a minute later a second shell came over and landed right in the edge of our company, and then we surely did scatter. 1 had no particular spot picked out, only I did want to run away from that area. I ran towards a little track that led into the woods along which we had walked a few minutes before. I found myself with a bunch of other boys from the company, and we all headed for the track. A big oak tree was standing by the track about thirty feet away, and we were scattered out be- tween the place where I 'flopped' and the tree. I heard the shell coming screaming through the air and I knew that it was going to strike close by, and 1 fell flat on the ground. There was a man on each side of me. almost within my reach, so I noticed when I dropped. 1 put my hands to my ears to stop the sound of the explosion, but as I struck the ground, one hand slipped, and the shell exploded at the same time. The concussion of the explosion literally moved me from within reach of where my rifle lay. and I was too dazed to pick it up. I almost stumbled over the fellow who was at my right as I ran towards the road, and the next thing I ran into a mass of wire entangle- ments, and while I was crawling out. the next shell struck across the road from me, evidently hitting where a number of men was standing, for a call went out for the 'medicos' immediately. "Before the next shell came I found a big shell hole at the foot of the steep bank by the little railway. There were about eight inches of oozy mud and a little water in the bottom of it. but I fig- ured that it was as safe a place as any. for a shell would have had to make a direct hit to harm me. "Several minutes after the last shell came over 1 heard several calls for medical aid. so I crawled out and started to find some one of the medical corps. I found a lieutenant and another man busily patching up some badly shattered legs that had been injured in the shelling. I told him where he would find some more patients, and he told me to send a call for stretcher bearers, which I did. Then I went back to find my rifle, and as I came to the little railway again I met several boys from F company. They wanted to know where their company was, but I could not tell them. We then walked up the track, discussing our re- cent plight, then another shell came screeching through the air. I could feel it in my bones that it was going to hit close, so I turned and ran in Page Two Hundred Forty Experiences in Gamp and in Trench the direction we had just come. I dropped in a narrow ditch by the side of the track, and then there was a deafening crash and the next instant the air was filled with debris and dirt. After sev- eral minutes' waiting I got up to see where the other boys were. To my awful surprise the shell had struck in the midst of them, as they ran up the track. The explosion had torn up the track to the point where I had laid, a distance of about forty feet from wliere the shell struck. "What happened to the boys? Four of them were blown to atoms, the largest part left of any one of them being the left thigh and the lower part of the body. The other three were lying, about the ground like so much sausage meat; the lifth was lying in the ditch with the left arm and half of his liead gone. The sixth of the group was lying on the other side of the track in slow death struggles, and I, the seventh one, was view- ing the sight, without so much as a scratch. The horror of it was too much for me, so I went up to where I had left my rifle, and there I found just such a sight as I had left, only these were boys whom I had known for months. Pour of them had been killed outright, another one was slowly dy- ing, and two more had been severely wounded. I tried to give some first aid. I bandaged up the fellow who had his leg shattered just below the knee. Then I started on the other fellows, when the medical men appeared, so I turned the job over to them. "As I could be on no more assistance, and as I was sick at heart, I went to see if I could locate any more of the company. I found that our supply sergeant had been killed, and two more of the boys severely wounded. I then made their loca- tion known to the 'medicos.' I tried to find the company or some of the officers, but I found that they had moved across the ridge to another for- est, so for the time being I was lost. After tlie excitement had worn off I was half sick and weak in the knees. When a fellow goes through and ex- perience like that and says that he was not scared, he is nothing short of a liar. For I know. "I went to brigade headquarters, after a lot of running around to find it, and they told me to stay there until the company was relieved on the line and returned for the night, which I did. "Tliat night I roosted out in the open fields, away from the road as I had had plenty of shells for one day. The next morning I found that I had had three dead Boches for neighbors, lying thirty or forty yards out in the grass by a machine gun pit. About the middle of the forenoon I got back with my company, as it was preparing to go for- ward to the front line. We were held up continu- ally by machine gun fire, but we managed to ad- vance across the valley to a wooded ridge, where we were again held up by the enemy's resistance. However, before dark, we had captured a six-inch howitzer and a large store of ammunition for it. "The next day was a hard one, for we ran past our own barrage when it slackened to move up, and the Germans laid a barrage back of us. Then they cut loose with crossed machine gun fire, and for some twenty-five minutes we surely passed through hell's fire, if ever there was such a thing. I dug into a shell hole into which I alighted, but was soon forced to dig my way out as one of our shells struck close by, jarring some of the wall onto me. A few minutes later a German shell struck just in front of my shelter, the jar of which nearly deafened me, and crumbled the banks of the shell hole onto me. I figured that every shell that came over had my name and address on it, and surely enough one did, for it landed onto my back porch, so as to speak. When I heard it com- ing I kissed myself good bye, and the next instant it landed just within easy reach at my right shoulder. It was a 'dud' from a German '77'; for if it had not been and had exploded, I would not be telling about it now. The barrage was such a ticklish trap and with no possible escape in sight, the only thing possible was to lie low and trust to a chance of coming out all right. If a fellow had tried to run through, as some did, he surely would have been killed. A number were killed in this manner. "The next day we were held up most of the fore- noon cleaning out the machine gun nests in the woods, after which we made an advance to an- other wooded hill. "The company stayed in the reserve the next day, and the regiment following us took over the front line. There was a 'ball up' in orders some way, causing a long delay, and the Germans took advantage of it and launched a counter attack. That was a busy time, and it was while I was en- gaged in sniping on a machine gun nest across the hollow from where I was, that I was struck in the shoulder. I was concealed in the edge of the wood, in a thick clump of bushes, and I had shot three bandoliers, each holding sixty rounds of cartridges, and had started on the fourth. My rifle got so hot that it would burn my fingers every time that I would insert a new clip, and the grease and oil under the wood smoked in grand style. The heat deflection from the muzzle of the gun made the front sight quivver and blur. I was taking a clip from the bandolier when I got hit with a brick, or what seemed like it, for it surely rolled over me. While I was trying to find out how badly damaged I was, a machine gun squad came and ran me out of my hiding place. The lieutenant told me that if I was unable to make I had better go back to where the first aid was located, so I struck out, and many thanks to the Germans for the thin barrage that they were lay- ing, and I got through safely. While I was being cared for, the enemy began shelling the valley witli gas shells. "After my wound was dressed they told me to go back to the ambulance station for further treat- ment. When I got there I had to wait a short time, after which they treated me and tagged me all the same as an express package. I struck out for the little town at which place the rest station was located, and when I got there it was so crowded that they told me if I could make it, to go back to the field hospital which was back about three kilometers, so I continued on my journey, landing there at about 11:00 o'clock that night. I was pretty well tired out, traveling most of that time from 4:30 that evening, when I was wounded. I was the second one in the tent that night, and the next morning it was a full liouse. I stayed there all day, and at about 6:00 o'clock that even- ing they sent a lot of us away on trucks, tak- ing us to the evacuation hospital, conducted by the French with the aid of American doctors. AVe Page Two Huiulretl Forty-One With the Colors from Whitman County were delayed by the heavy traffic toward the front so that we did not get there until about a quarter of four the next morning. We were chilled to the bone by the cold. After being dressed and drink- ing hot cocoa, I went to bed and slept until about 1:00 o'clock that afternoon. We remained there until 4:00 o'clock that afternoon, when we were placed on board a French hospital train and taken away back to the base hospital. Five days later I was .sent to the convalescent hospital." SHOT DOWN FOUR TIMES IN ONE DAY Walter E. Allen, Jr., of Tekoa, Bears Scars of Hard Fought Air Battles — Has Four Cita- tions and Decorations. Walter E. Allen. Jr.. of Tekoa undoubtedly saw as much strenuous service during the war as befell the lot of any man from the state of Wash- ington. He enlisted in the regular army, aviation service, on December 14, 1916. He was shot down four times in one day while flying over the enemy lines. In one engagement that day the steering lever was shot from his hands 5000 feet in the air. Notwithstanding this catastrophe he landed safely. At three other times he crashed to the ground in his planes, once suffering fractures of one leg. his collar bone and four ribe. His many escapes from death were absolutely miraculous, and he was regarded as an extremly luckly man. In one of the encounters the young man fell with- in the enemy's lines. He set fire to his plane to prevent it from falling into the hands of the Ger- mans. He started back to the American lines on foot and soon encountered a patrol of nine Ger- man soldiers. He shot one and took the remaining eight prisoners. Sergeant Allen had the distinction of having been the youngest noncommissioned officer in the service. He wears a British distinguished service cross and was cited three times for bravery. During his various engagements he received three bullet wounds, one in the leg, one in the foot and the third through the left lung. The following are the citations received by the Tekoa soldier: Special Order 146. In compliance with instructions received from General Headquarters. Chaumont, the following commendation is ordered: For gallantry on the night of April 5, 1918, when he participated at and near Joyce Green, Dartford. Kent, in aerial combat against H. A. and displayed exceptional bravery and ability by continuing although the control lever had been shot away, until his guns jammed and he was forced to retire, the following man is highly commended by the Commanding General: Corporal Walter E. Allen. Jr.. 162d A. S.. A. E. F." The citation is signed by Major General Persh- ing, by J. J. Norman, lieutenant colonel, executive officer. Office of the Commandant.

For service of exceptional merit consisting of the undermentioned acts of gallantry. Sergeant Walter E. Allen, Jr., is especially recommended for reward. 2. Having volunteered for duty of highly danger- ous character he was assigned to a patrol for night bombing of the enemy's aeronautical base and upon the night of June 3, 1918, succeeded in penetrating the enemy's aircraft defense and af- ter beating off two hostile aircraft, accomplished his mission in a manner that left nothing to he desired. He was forced to land at this station and it was discovered that his plane was completely riddled with shrapnel and that both petrol tanks were pierced. His observer states that this was done while crossing the defense but that he re- fused to return until his mission was accomp- lished. 3. This action was observed and verified by Flight Lt. H. B.

By Order of the King: For the following acts of gallantry. Sergeant W. E. Allen, Jr., is awarded the distinguished ser- vice medal. Having proceeded over the enemy lines in the vicinity of St. Mihiel on photographic mission, he was attacked by a formation of H. A. and was shot down, but landed behind our lines. Proceeding a second time, he gained part of the information desired but was again forced to retire, but only after shooting one H. A. down in flames. Proceeding a third time with escort he was at- tacked but remained after his escort was driven away, his observer killed and his plane riddled with bullets, and retired only when his controls were shot away. Proceeding a fourth time against orders and without escort he accomplished his mission, shot another H. A. down in flames and was severely wounded himself. While returning to his air- drome he was attacked by a formation of H. A. and forced to land, but crashed between the lines. However, he secured the photographic plates of great value and returned to our lines after killing one member of an enemy patrol and taking eight others prisoners. The above mentioned facts were verified by Second Lieutenants V. L. Warren and James D. Cline, R. A. F.

Al- len, Jr.. for the undermentioned acts of gallantry on October 22, 1918. Having been assigned to offensive patrol in the vicinity of St. Mihiel he proceeded to completely demoralized a large number of reinforcements being brought up by the enemy, after vifhich he silenced two batteries of artillery which were in- flicting large casualties among the Americans in that sector. Observing a French photographic plane being attacked by a large number of enemy aircraft, he went to its aid and succeeded in driv- ing them away after shooting one of them to earth. Altho severely wounded he continued to pro- tect the French plane until its objective was ac- complished. This action was observed and reported by Lt. Col. Ransey, R. A. F. MAJ. GEN.

Fred Fuller, son of Mrs. W. H. Melrose of Colfax, wrote many interesting letters home, telling of his experiences. The following excerpts were taken from one of his letters: "Since the last try at this letter I have had an- other trip, which makes two. The first one we went up above the clouds and sailed along for about ten miles, but on the next one the sky was as clear as crystal and we could see for miles.* * "This part of Texas is very dry and, while there are a great many cultivated fields, scrub oak and cactus predominates. This is called mesquite. and if by chance you have to land in it, you can depend upon it that you will have to see a beauty doctor, as you will be a little scratched up. "The first time, our basket alighted astride a barbed wire fence. One of the boys was 'scared stiff' as he thought we would hit a fence post and it would drive through the basket. We bounced off very nicely and landed in a cotton field. The next time we had a little more wind and as we did not get down soon enough the pilot thought we would blow into a fence, so we made a big jump. This was done by throwing out sand just as we hit the ground. We bounced about a hund- red feet into the air and alighted about a hundred yards away. To stop the balloon on landing, the pilot must tear out what is called the rip panel, located in the top of the bag to allow all of the gas to escape. * * * "You ought to see the rabbits, deer and cattle stampede when we go over, especially when we are near the ground and our drag rope is drag- ging on the ground. This is a heavy rope about 300 feet long which we let out to 'cushion' us when we come down. It takes more and more weight off the balloon and also acts as a guide rope for the basket. * * * "While speaking of sensations, did I tell you about how exciting the captive balloons are on a windy day? We go up with a jerk and scamper off across tiie field, first in one direction and then come tearing back, it may be to take a big nose dive. The rigging whines and snaps, and the auto- matic valve lets out gas with ghostly noises. Then the balloon stops with another jerk and the basket hits the under side of the gas bag, and we swing, wondering whether we will break away or not. Coming down is even more exciting. We brush the tops of trees, nearly hit the ground, stop to regain normal position, then do all of it over again, finally settling gently down as easy as you please." COLFAX OFFICER DESCRIBES BATTLE FIELD Captain F. A. Bryant Saw Chateau Thierry Battle Field — Marveled at Manner in Which Americans Won Out. Dr. F. A. Bryant of Colfax, who won a captain's commission, and who spent several months at the front, wrote the following letter home concerning the battle field of Chateau Thierry: "I had a trip to the front yesterday and it was some sight, although it was very quiet, they said. I did what I had to do and then returned to camp by the way of the Chateau Thierry front, and I surely got my eyes full, "How the Doys crossed the Marne river and got up the hill on the other side with a German ma- chine gun placed every 20 feet at the top is more than I can say. The hill is very much steeper and higher than that back of the Colfax high school. The hill is stripped. All that there is left is a little cross here and there, and an old rifie stuck in the ground to mark the spot where one of our boys fell, but as you see by the newspapers, they have covered a wide scope of ground and I say we are going to cover a wider scope next month (November, 1918). "* * *Say, if Colfax people are wondering what is going on with their money, just tell them to come to this country and they can soon see. It is surely a sight to know and see what the U. S. A. has done over here in the last year. But don't turn down the Red Cross for anything. It is doing a great work over here, and when any one gets down hearted tell him that there are girls working just twice as hard as anyone there, and I don't mean to throw rocks at the people at home. But it is surely great the way some of the women are working. They have houses at certain places and the troop trains stop there and it the women have time, they feed them. If they do not. they carry around coffee. They don't have to tell the boys to come and get it, for they are Johnny on the spot, and any one would be if he had to stand up in an old box car and stick it out for 48 hours be- fore he could get off. "* *I want to tell you of a little girl whom I saw. She was only six years old and had both hands cut off at the wrist. She was as pretty as a pic- ture and she would feel so badly when one talked to her. Don't take my word, but write to the priest. Mrs. Bryant has "nis address and he will tell you the whole thing. The act occurred three Page Two Hundred Forty-Three With the Coloks from Whitman County years ago in Belgium. I have seen many tilings in the hospitals that I do not teel that I should tell now, but I feel that the American boys are surely paying them back." MANY COLTON MEN IN ARMY AND NAVY One Hundred Fourteen Available Men — Sixty-four Per Cent, in Service; Fifty-Two Per Cent Overseas. The little town of Colton, in southeastern Whit- man county, had a unique record during the war. Of 114 available men, 64 per cent, was called to the colors, and of that number 52 per cent, was overseas. Fourteen more men had been call- ed and had their suitcases packed ready to go when the armistice was signed. It is doubtful if any other community in the state can equal this record. In addition to the above, the citizens of Colton "went over the top" in every drive proposed In the county. CLERGYMAN WINS CROIX DE GUERRE. In recognition of his services as a Y. M. C. A. worker in France, the Rev. E. A. Ballis, who en- tered the service from Garfield in 1917, was awarded the Croix de Guerre and a citation from Marshal Petain, commander-in-chief of the French armies in the east. Rev. Ballis was for 16 months with the French and American armies. The cita- tion, which is dated October 1, 1919, reads: "Mr. Eugene Ballis, since January, 191S, devoted himself particularly to supplying the wants of the troops day and night, never hesitating to minis- ter in the very front-line trenches of the sector of Genicourt, Ranzieres and Ambly, accomplish- ing his task with a zeal and bravery worthy of all praise." Colfax Furnished Chinese Cook for Army. Colfax furnished a Chinese cook, Ku Tong, aged 27 years, and part owner of a restaurant at that place, for the army. Ku Tong was born at Port Townsend, Wash., Mar. 1, 1S91, and was taken to China by his parents when a few months old. He resided in that country until he was 17 years of age and then returned to this state. When called before the local board, Tong was not certain whether or not he was a citizen of this country, so the matter was referred to the district board which ruled that he was a citizen. Ku Tong is a good cook and was well satisfied with his army ex- perience. He was the only man of Chinese an- cestry to have been inducted into the army from this county. Garfield Man Earned Citation Perry Miller, of Garfield, who won the rank of second lieutenant during the war period, received a citation for heroic conduct at Bois D'Aigremont. The citation is as follows: "Miller, Perry; first sergeant (554814) Company B, 9th machine gun battalion. In Bois D'Aigre- 14-15, learning that one platoon of his company had become lost in the darkness, searched through the woods until he found them, although under a terrific bombardment, and guided them to their po- sitions. He then brought in wounded, regardless of personal danger, making frequent trips to search for wounded comrades. As soon as it be- came light he went to his observation post and kept his company informed of the movements of the enemy." FELL 2000 FEET FROM SKY AND SURVIVED Ensign C. E. Miller and Companion Dropped in Tail Spin in Seaplane During Machine Gun Practice off Pensacola, Fla. Ensign Cleo E. Miller, of Pullman, had the unique albeit painful experience of dropping 2000 feet from the clouds and landing in the bay out from Pensacola, Fla,, on March 18, 1919, and yet surviving to tell of his sensations. Ensign Miller treated the affair lightly, saying that far worse accidents were frequent happenings during the training period. Ensign Miller had completed his training with the exception of machine gun practice. He was in a double-seated plane with Ensign Leztkus, an experienced overseas aviator at the helm. An- other plane was supposed to "take off," towing a target. The other plane did not perform according to schedule but Leztkus and Miller took to the air. When at an altitude of 2000 feet the pilot "shut off the gun" and went into a tail spin. His companion thought nothing of the matter until the first half of the drop had been negotiated, and then he awoke to the realization that all was not well. Remembering how one of his comrades had been m.utilated in an accident by having the ma- chine gun falling with him, his first thought and effort was to unship the weapon and throw it over. However, before he could act, the plane struck the water. The engine dropped to the bot- tom of the bay, and the wings were crushed as ef- fectively as though it were solid earth. Ensign Miller sustained severe bruises and an injury to his back. His companion came out with a frac- tured jaw. Ensign Miller met death in a crash of a commer- cial seaplane at Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, July 19, 1920. Couplin Army's County Dentist Captain C. A. Couplin of Palouse, late of the army dental corps, has been appointed army den- tist tor Whitman county. All dental work done for disabled ex-service men is at the expense of the government. John Newman Gassed in France. John Newman, Colfax service man, was gassed in action while in France. His experiences are related in a letter hom.e as follows: "I had to go to the hospital (July 11, 1918) for the first time since I enlisted. I got a heavy dose of gas about the second and am out of it for a while. I was near Chaumont for about five months, after which we traveled for a while. I was at Langres for a short time then to Vittel, a famous European watering place. We were there only a short time. I have been transferred to a machine gun company Page Two Hiindrecl Forty-Four Experiences in Camp and in Trench of the 23d infantry and went into the line. We had several engagements in which the Boche came off second best. We were lucl^y in my pla- toon as we had no losses from German tire. One of the men of my squad was injured by the ex- plosion of a hand grenade, dropped by another man. I was only three feet from where it drop- ped, so I dived into my dugout. The man who was injured was asleep in another dugout. The night that I was gassed I was carrying 'chow' to the boys. I held my breath while I put the load down", but it got into my eyes. With my mask on I could not see my way, so I lay there for a couple of hours. The gas shells and shrapnel fell thick but I did not get hit. We are well treated here and the nurses are fine. The hardest part is lying in bed. Many French people saw us as we lay on the stretchers and were very sympa- thetic. Several brought us chocolate and cigar- ettes. It was not as bad as I expected under fire. I was seared, but not as much as I thought I would be. We were under heavy fire. too. One day we launched a heavy barrage, which lasted from early morning until S:00 p. m. The Germans replied at 2:00 p. m., and things were lively. Our men went across at 7:00 o'clock with considerable gain. We seem to have surprised the Boche a trifle in some ways, and I am glad to have had a part in it." Maiden Man Lost Fingers in Plane. Lieutenant h. A. Gunderson met with an acci- dent while flying in France which resulted in the loss of several fingers on his left hand. The acci- dent occurred while flying over the German lines on a trip for taking photographs of the trenches. The men were using an aeroplane with double propellers. Lieut. Gunderson was ahead, close to the propellor. and the pilot behind, depending upon signals for direction. While giving a signal to return to the allied lines, he forgot the pro- pellers whirling close and thrust his left hand into the nearest one. The result was the loss of the fingers. The shock of the contact to the machine was so great that the propeller was broken and the plane side slipped a quarter of a mile before the pilot regained control of it. They then went into camp with but one propeller. As a result of the accident, the officer lost the little finger en- tirely, the two middle fingers were amputated at the middle joints and the fore finger severed be- low the nail. He was treated in a French hospital. CURIOUS PHENOMENA OCCURS TO MAN TWICE WHEN IN GREAT PERIL AT FRONT Vision of Father Appeared to Ben Davis of Farm- ing, on Battle Fields, Warning Him to Seek Safety. Those who followed the course of the World War will remember the Angel of Mons whom the British soldiers to this day solemnly affirm led them to victory, and of the White Captain who was seen nn the different battle fields. One of equal interest and fully as unexplainable was told by Ben Davis, foster son of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Davis, of Farmington, regarding three ex- periences at the front . The story recorded as follows was told by the proud father at his home at Farmington. ■'Our son, Ben, was attached to the signal corps of the 91st Division, When he returned from ser- vice he and I sat up late that night, talking over many matters. In telling of his feelings under fire he said: 'Dad, I was terribly afraid, but I felt vou step to my side and put your hand on my shoulder and say, 'Son, do not be afraid, but run to the right and throw yourself on the ground. Quick!' I did so and at that moment a high ex- plosive shell struck the observation post where I had been standing and completely destroyed it. When I was in action two other times I felt your presence as I did the first and was supported and sustained during the ordeal.' " Pullman Man Escorts Brazil's President. Capt. Harold Holt, altho one of the first men of the student body of the State College of Washing- ton to enlist in the regular army following the declaration of war, he never quite realized his ambition to get into action. He is one of the few commissioned officers to have remained in the regular army. He says of his experiences: "I look the examination for second lieutenant in the regular army on March 23, 1917, and re- ceived mv commission as a provisional second lieutenant dated August 9, 1917. I was sent to the school for provisional officers of the regular army at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, arriving there on September 6, 1917. While there I was assigned to the 22d Cavalry. On November 17 I joined my regiment at Fort Oglethorpe, Ga. (Chickamauga Park). Soon after joining the 22d Cavalry I was changed to the SOth Field Artillery and assigned to the 7th Division. About February 1, 191S, the SOth Field Artillery moved to Camp MacArthur, Waco, Texas. We remained there until June 1-5, when we moved to Camp McClellan, Anniston, Camp McArthur I took the course for artillery of- Ala During the time that the regiment was at cers at the School of Fire, Fort Sill, Oklahoma. "On August 23, 1918, we sailed for France from Hoboken, and on September 3, landed at Brest. We were then sent to Camp de Meucon for in- tensive artillery training, but were unable to get to the front on account of the shortage of horses. Early in February, 1919, we joined our division at Ponta Mousson, later moving to Commercy. "Soon after arriving in France I received notice of the fact that I had been a captain since June, 191S. I was given comm.and of Battery C, and have been in command of it ever since. "We left France on June 12, on the Imperator and arrived in the United States on the 20th of that month. On the way home we found the jiresident of Brazil in midocean, on a broken down French cruiser, and brought him to New York on our ship. As a consequence we had the pleasure of hearing a 21-gun salute flred at us as we entered the harbor. "Upon our arrival in the United States we were sent to Camp Mills where, after the war, men were transferred to their home camps for dis- charge. On June 25, we left for Camp Funston, Kansas, the present home station of the 7th Divis- ion.' At the time the above statement was made Capt. Holt was on temporary duty at the United States Discliplinary Barracks, Fort Leavenworth. Page Two Huiulred Forty-Five Whitman County's Heroic Dead An effort was made to secure a brief obituary and official records ot eacli man from Whitman County, wlio gave liis life in the great struggle. The following were obtainable: CHARLES BOYD MAYNARD. Lieutenant Charles Boyd Maynard. who entered the marine corjjs from Colton, was the first man from Whitman county to give his life for his country. He received fatal wounds while engaged in an attack on Bouresche (Aisne) just outside of Belleau Woods. His death occurred on June 8 1918. Lieutenant Maynard was born near Colton, on Oct. 24, 1891. where he grew to manhood. He was educated in the Colton public schools and in the Lewiston Normal school. He was graduated from the school of pharmacy at the State College of Washington with the class of 1915. At the be- ginning of the war he enlisted in the marine corps at Brero.erton and received a commission of sec- ond lieutenant. Shortly afterward he was pro- moted to first lieutenant. He then sailed for France. The captain of the 84th company. 6th regiment. Lieut. Maynard's company, having been wounded early in the year, the lieutenant was made acting captain. He was slightly wounded on April 1. but refused medical aid and remained with his com- pany. Of the last engagement in which he was a participant, the Colton News-Letter said: "Charles Boyd Maynard was first lieutenant of the 84th company. 6th regiment of the U. S. ma- rine corps and in command of the company, lead- ing his men in that famous action of June 7, when 10,00 marines drove back five German divisions and held the ground taken. He fell at the head of his men, the first man from Whitman county to make the supreme sacrifice. He died like a soldier, an officer and a gentleman." Charles E. Maynard, father of Lieut. Charles Boyd Maynard, received the following from Har- ris A. Darche, chaplin of the 6th marines, in ans- wer to a query: "In answer to a communication received from the graves registration service, A. E. F., I am writing to give a few particulars concerning the death of your son, Lieut. Boyd Maynard. "He was wounded June 6, 1918, while his com- pany was engaged in an attack on Bouresche (Aisne) outside of Belleau Woods. His platoon was leading the front line attack and he was seen encouraging and cheering his men on to their ob- jective when he was hit in the stomach by a bul- let. He did not seem to suffer very much when car- ried to the first aid station. He seccumbed to his wounds June 8, 1918, in the American hospital at Jouilly, Prance. He was buried in the American cemetery, Jouilly, Seine et Marne department, grave No. .34. "Mr. Maynard. your son was one of our best of- ficers, and his loss was keenly felt, but like many Americans he laid down his life for right and justice, and so we place the crown of victory on his grave." His wife. Mrs. Helen Layton Maynard, whom he married just prior to sailing overseas, received a citation from the French goverment, together with the announcement that the Croix de Guerre had been awarded her husband, A statement signed by Marshal Petain said: "During an attack on a village he gave proof of rare valor, remaining in command of his sec- tion, although wounded, until he was relieved by another officer." FRED A. HOWARD. Altho enlisting from Pocatello, Idaho, at which place he had made his home for some time. Fred A. Howard should be classed as a Whitman county man. He enlisted in the engineer corps May 21, 1917, and was assigned to the 2d regiment, F com- pany. He met his death on November 1. 1918, in France. He participated in the engagement that stopped the German march toward Paris and on October 10, 1918, was awarded the Croix de Guerre and a citation for bravery by the French govern- ment. The story of Sgt. Howard's death is best told in a letter from Paul G. Marine, a comrade, who was an eye witness to his death. The letter fol- lows: "I was on November 1, 1918, with your son and a com.panion by the name of Williams on duty sketching for the artillery. Their duty was to go ahead of the artillery, make drawings of all the trees, cross-roads, hills, buildings, and any place where the Germans might be in hiding. Your son and this man had finished and had taken the report back to headquarters. During all of this the men were under a heavy fire. "They had started back to the front but had not gotten quite up to where I was, but at that he was only five or six feet away when he met his doom. The same shell killed your son and Wil- liams. We lost five more men in about four min- utes at the same place. A soldier by the name of Fonts and I were on duty at the bridge to take out German mines but the enemy shells were coming too fast and we sought shelter in an empty building near the bridge. The building was lo- cated in an apple orchard and we took shelter be- hind the trees. It was here that the German shell struck your son, killing him instantly. On the battle front it was our duty to go to them at once, if they were only wounded, to give first aid, but if killed to remove their pistols. Fonts re- moved the pistol from Fred's body and next morn- ing your son was buried on the spot where he fell. "Your son helped capture the town of Landres St. George. It was an awful place. The 42d Di- vision was driven out three times, so the 2d Division was sent in and we took it in about 20 minutes. I am sending you a picture of Harry Slerder and myself, both of whom assisted in the burial of your son. I am glad to give you this in- formation concerning your son's death.

JOSEPH ELBERT CHRISTMAN. Joseph Elbert Christman was born April 24. 1S94, and was the son of Mr. and Mrs. E. B. Christ- man of Colville. Washington. He entered service from Pullman Dec. 10, 1917. He was killed in ac- tion Oct. 4, 191S, in the battle of Blanc Mont Ridge while crossing a machine gun swept valley to extend a threatened left wing. He was fre- quently offered clerical positions, far from the danger zone, but preferred to stay on the battle line. A liistory of the Second Division of wliich he was a member, said: "To the glory of the United States Marines let it be said that they were again a part of that splendid Second Division which swept forward in the attack which freed Blanc Mont Ridge from the Germans. It pushed its way down the slopes and occupied the level <;round just beyond, thus assuring a victory, the full im- port of which can best be judged by the order of Gen. Lejeune following this battle. As a result of your victory the German armies east and west of Rheims are in full retreat, and by drawing on yourselves several German divisions from other parts of the front you greatly assisted the victor- ious advance of the allied armies between Cam- brai and St. Quinten. To be able to say when this war is over, 'I fought with the Second Division, at Blanc Mont' will be the highest honor that can come to any army man." IVAN D. LIVINGSTON Born January 1, 1S93; entered the service of his country May 13, 191S; made the supreme sacri- fice at Foggia, Italy, May 2, 191S. Ivan D. Livingston was born near Palouse, Wash., on Jan. 1, 1S93. He attended school near liis birthplace until ten years of age. In 1903 the family moved to Pullman. He was graduated from the Pullman high school and entered the State College of Washington in the fall of 1913. enrolling in the department of electrical engi- neering. He entered the service on May 13. 1917, and received a commission at the officers' train- ing school at the Presidio. He then transferred to the aviation service and was graduated from the ground school at Berkeley. Calif.. September 29, 1917. He was chosen for overseas service and shortly afterward left for England. He went to Prance and thence to Italy. He was stationed at Foggia. Italy. Eighth Instruction Center, and was just completing his final test when tlie distressing accident occurred. Members of his family were recipients of doz- ens of letters, and a few are reproduced to give the details of the accident. The first leter was written by the Y. M. C. A. secretary. It follows: Dear Mr. Livingston: I will introduce myself by saying that I have been the Y. M. C. A. secretary in the camp where your boy was a cadet. I became quite well ac- quainted with him because of his spending consid- erable time at the "Y." He, as you know, bet- ter than anyone else, was rather reticent and quiet and while here spent a great deal of his time outside of flying hours reading and writing in our rooms. It was a sad day for me when he went on his raid and was brought home dead in body. He was well liked by all; they were glad he was ready for his raid and he started off with the well wishes of many friends. An accident that none can ever explain occurred in the air. taking his life prob- ably before he landed, for the biograph registered between three and four thousand meters. We buried him with military honors, I being an ordained Congregational pastor, took the ser- vice. I am sure you would have been pleased to see the pains taken in doing honor to your boy. He has left us, but his spirit remains. I have a little picture that I will send you some day. One he gave me. He was a fine lad and God knows we are sorry to have him go. but He knows best. Be proud of his memory for "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." FRANK P. BEAL. A splendid tribute was paid the young aviator by Lieut. O. H. Mitchell as follows: Dear Mr. Livingston: As the chairman of the board to close your son's affairs, I deem it a privilege to write a few lines to you, his father. Your son, when he was killed, was finishing the last leg of his military brevet and was considered around the camp one of our most promising aviators. The reason for this, I think, was not due to the fact that he possessed any unusual qualities fitting him for an aviator, but because he went at it as a duty to be per- formed and did it like he did everything else, thoroughly. Your son made the supreme sacri- fice and did it willingly and you can always be proud that he came to the end of his military life while faithfully performing his duties for his country. In looking over the estate he left, as was my duty, 1 remarked on the clean life he must have led from the property in his possession — all lit- erary, educational and of a religious nature. Let me tell you, Mr. Livingston, then is when you see what a man really is, when you look over his be- longings when he is not present. Your son more than came up to the test. He was a model for other men. In losing Ivan you have lost a wonderful son, but his was a death without regrets. With all sympathy in your loss, I remain Verey sincerely, LT. O. H. MITCHELL, 8th A. I. C, Am. E. F., Italy. ARTHUR LEE DAY Arthur Lee Day, son of Mr. and Mrs. H. G. Day of Pullman, Wash., was born May 7, 1896. He was asphyxiated while on a submarine chaser on duty in the English Channel Oct. 24, 1918. The remains Page Two Hundred Forty-Seven With the Colors from Whitman County were shipped home, arriving Dec. 8, 1918. A mili- tary funeral was held Dec. 9, 1918, interment oc- curring at the Pairmount cemetery. Of the young man Norman V. Donaldson, com- manding ensign, wrote: "The death of your son came as a sudden and tragic shock to all of his many friends in service over here, especially to those of us on his own boat. We can hardly realize that he has been called upon to make that last sacrifice, the sacri- fice which each of us must stand ready to make at any moment; that he has been called to give his life for his country in this great struggle where only the sacrifice of fine young lives, such as his, can asure our final and absolute victory. "He died like a true American soldier, in the very act of performing his duty, a duty which he might have left to another, but which he knew was hard any one else. He was overcome by the gasoline fumes while working in the engine room bilges. There is some small comfort in knowing that al- and which he felt he himself could do better than though he died a sailor's death — died at his sta- tion at sea in the war zone, yet there was no suf- fering. We know this because there were other men at hand who could have given him assist- ance had he made the slightest signs. As soon as it was discovered that he was unconscious, all pos- sible means were taken to restore him, but with- out effect. The doctors say that had they been there they could have done nothing we did not do under the conditions. "Your son joined my crew just before we left for this side. From that time to the very last he proved himself reliable, consciencious, and a very hard worker. I placed him in full charge of the engine room with all the responsibilities of an engineer officer, and in spite of his somewhat lim- ited experience with marine motors and the fact that he was young, he filled the job in every re- spect. He handled the men under him with force and understanding and kept the engines in splen- did condition. He was very popular with both men and officers and highly respected for his clean-cut, straight-forward ways and open frank- ness. "Death is hard only for those who are left, not for those who are taken, and as it is hard for us to lose a companion and shipmate, it is infinitely harder for you to lose a son. We extend to you and your family our most heartfelt sympathy, and we assure you that the memory of your son will ever remain with us, and be honored by us." IVAN LEO PRICE Ivan Leo Price, son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles A. Price, was born at Pullro.an, Wash., Feb. 27, 1897, and was killed in France Nov. 1. 1918. The young man left the State College of Washington, where he was in attendance and enlisted in the United States Marine Corps at Seattle in December, 1917. He went into training at Mare Island, remaining there until March, 1918. when he was transferred to the marine barracks at North Island, San Diego. In July he was sent to Quantico, Va., remaining at that place until August, when he sailed overseas. In France he was a member of C company. First training battalion. First regiment, until October, 1918, when he was transferred to the 51st company. Private Price met his death at 3:00 o'clock a. m., Nov. 1, while awaiting the lifting of the bar- rage, previous to an attack in the Argonne sector. The following letter was received by his parents from. Second Lieutenant F. Israel, following his death: "In reply to your letter of the 22d ultimo, 3'ou are informed that the records of this office show that Ptv. Price, 4604310, Iva L., Company G, 5th Ma- rines, was killed in action presumably by machine gun fire of the enemy, on Novero.ber 1. 1918, and was buried at 301.2 — 285. 3, Buzancy Special Map Ij 50,000. His death was in line of duty and he would have been entitled to character "excellent" upon his discharge, had he lived." FRANK J. HAMELIUS In his experiences with the 91st Division, Lieut. Colin V. Dyment, Red Cross searcher for that or- ganization, wrote: "The town of Pullman, Wash., lost Corporal Prank J. Hamelius soon after noon (Sept. 28, 1918) when the company — always a dashing one — had come within 500 yards of Eclis- fontaine itself. A machine gun bullet or rifle sniper shot Hamelius through the body. He died without speaking in a few minutes. Hamelius was a good soldier — "You bet he was," said Pri- vate Perrine E. Moore of Los Palos, Calif., who was ten paces away. The corporal's body was picked up and carried back when E company re- turned. The night before he said 'I'll be glad when it's done with. I want to get in and break the ice.' " CLAIR A. KINNEY Lieutenant Clair A. Kinney was born Jan. 19, 1896, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Martin P. Kinney. Lieut. Kinney enlisted from Endicott at Seattle during the summer of 1917. He heroically at- tacked a patrol of seventeen enemy air craft in which engagement he sustained fatal wounds. He died in a German hospital at Stenay, Oct. 4, 1918. The heroic battle in which Lieut. Kinney lost his life, is told in a letter to his mother (since de- ceased) from Captain George P. Fisher, as fol- lows: "A description of your son's last combat is the most glowing tribute that can be paid to his extra- ordinary heroism and devotion to duty. He was a member of a patrol of seven planes from this squadron, which attacked seventeen enemy Fok- kers in the region of Doulcon, France. Regardless of his own personal safety, he unhesitatingly dove into the ro.idst of the enemy formation. Firing into one of the enemy planes, he pursued it until he saw it crash to the ground. While pressing this attack, another Fokker set upon him from be- hind, firing a stream of bullets into his machine, one of which went through his leg. Exhibiting re- markable coolness and bravery, he manouvered to escape his pursuer and immediately attacked an enemy plane which he observed directly in front of him. Despite the wound which he re- ceived, he gallantly continued his attack, forcing the enemy to the ground. At this point, still an- other Fokker got on the tail of his machine and fired straight into his machine. Several bullets struck him in the body, while another set his gas tank on fire. Displaying exceptional grit, he re- Page Two Hunclretl Forty-Eiglit \VHri\MAX County's Heroic Dead tained consciousness long enough to land his ma- chine without killing himself." on E company, for the sniper, cleverly hidden, had been harrassing it hard. The cry had saved lives." RAYMOND P. CODD Raymond P. Codd, son of Mr. and Mrs. P. Codd, of Colfax, was the first volunteer from Colfax, en- listing in old I company, 161st regiment, at Spo- kane on April 6, 1917. He was transferred to the Twenty-sixth division, 103d infantry, E company. He was killed in action in France. A letter from Lieut. Fred R. Mast to the parents of the young man, said of him: "No words that I can say or write can subtract from you the deep feeling of sorrow and regret you have undergone due to the death in action of your noble son, Raymond P. Codd, private first class. "Raymond served with me since the date of his enlistment in I company, 161st infantry (formerly Second Washington infantry) up to a few days of his death, and no words seem good enough to ex- press his faithful service. He was always on hand to do his duty, never giving his officers or non-com- missioned officers the slightest cause for disci- pline. In spite of the utm.ost danger he always performed his duty with a great big smile, and time after time he showed that he was full of American blood. Although very young in years, he displayed the spirit and constitution of a full grown man for the cause for which he was fight- ing. Raymond was well liked by all the officers and men of his company and often I hear them praise his good work. "Concluding, I extend to you the sympathy of his former 'buddies,' who have requested me to do so, and can assure you that the memory of Raymond P. Codd will always be cherished in the hearts of his former comrades." GUY O. ENMAN Corporal Guy O. Enman, son of David A. and Isabel Enman, was born April 5, 1S94, near Deer Park, Wash. He was educated in the common schools of the district. For four years before be- ing called to the colors he was employed in the vicinity of St. John, by C. R. Lewis. He entered service Oct. 6, 1917, and was a member of the 91st Division, 361st regiment and E company. Of his heroic death, Lieut. Colin V. Dyment. Red Cross searcher with the 91st Division, wrote: "Company E. lost Guy O. Enman, a corporal from St. John, Wash. The last words of this man showed of what stuff he was made. It was just about noon. Enman and Robert Craig were lying together on a slope to the orchard. Craig is a pri- vate from Woodland, Idaho. In a tree to the right and .300 yards ahead was a Hun with a rifle, but no one had seen him. He shot the St. John boy in the head and as he did so his victim rose up on his knees and cried, 'I'm shot. There's a sniper out in that tree.' Then he sank down dead, but in less than five minutes another bullet, apparently from the same sniper, struck him in the top of the head. Craig ran to better cover and called to Lieutenant Royal Coffey that a Hun sniper was out in the tree. The lieutenant shot the sniper out of the tree, he told Craig. "Enman's last words made a great impression JOHN K. McRAE John K. McRae, son of Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth McRae of near Rosalia, met his death in an aero- plane accident at Americus, Ga., on August 28, 1919. His plane collided with another at a height of 500 feet and both pilots were killed. The re- mains were taken to Rosalia where the funeral on Sept. 9, 1919. Charles. T. Minahn, major general U. S. A., wrote the parents of Lieutenant McRae as fol- lows: "Your son's sacrifice was made in building up the air service of the United States army, and while it was made here, it is not less helpful to our cause than it it had been the result of a com- bat overseas. The toll paid in developing an air army is part of the price of victory not more avoidable or less effective than that paid over the lines of battle." Lieutenant Colonel Ira A. Rader, commander of Southern Field, Americus, Ga., paid the following tribute: "The tragic accident left us all in deep sorrow. John was universally loved and respected by all who knew him. He was an efficient officer, a loyal friend and a thorough man in everything." MARY PACKINGHAM It is ni.ore than proper that Miss Mary Packing- ham should be pictured with the men of Whitman county who made the supreme sacrifice, for she went to her death as bravely and heroically as any who fell on "Flanders fields." When the in- fluenza scourge was raging at Pullman the brave nurse entered one of the improvised hospitals con- taing men of the S. A. T. C. and battled far be- yond her strength She fell victim to the dread disease and passed away October 29, 1918. The remains were transported to her former home at Granville, 111., where interment was made. The following brief obituary was read at her grave: "Mary Elizabeth Packingham was born October 28, ISSO, at Granville, 111.; attended the Granville school until she was graduated, then taught school for three years. November 1, 1901, she entered the Chicago Baptist Hospital training school for nurses, graduating in 1903. She worked in the city until 1909, when she went to Spokane, Wash- ington, going from there to Pullman, Washington, where she had since been. She had applied for service as Red Cross nurse, to go overseas. While waiting the word to go, she helped to relieve the suffering of the people in that city until she was stricken with influenza and pneumonia, passing away the morning of October 29, 1918." SHELTON FREMONT WATKINS Shelton Fremont Watkins. son of Emmet and Louisa Watkins, was born Sept. IS, 1888. He passed safely thru the battle of Chateau Thierry and while on the way home was stricken with ill- ness. He was taken from the transport at Boston in a delirious condition and he never regained con- sciousness. He was buried by the side of his mother at the Hickory Point cemetery. Miller county. Mo. Private Watkins enlisted from St. John, Wash. Page Two Hundred. Forty-Nine With the Coloes from Whitman County GEORGE L. WIEBER George L. Wieber, of Uniontown, died at Kansas City. Mo., Oct. 25. 191S. wliile on his way from Pullman to Camp Pike. Ark., where he was to have entered the officers' training school. He was nursing two companions who were ill with influ- enza, when he was himself fatally stricken. The remains were taken to the home at Uniontown where interment was made. ROY ADELBERT PRIVETT Roy Adalbert Privett. son of Mr. and Mrs. S. Privett. was born at Colfax, Wash.. Mar. 9, 18SS. He was educated in the schools there and in De- cember, 1917, he entered service at Pendleton, Ore., He was taken ill with influenza and pneumonia at Hampton Roads, Va.. where he died. The re- mains were escorted to Colfax by Sergeant Scrog- gins. where a military funeral was held. ELMER M. OGLE Elmer Ogle was one of Rosalia's service men and died from wounds received in action August 9, 1918. He was struck by a shell fragment and was not thought to be badly injured. In fact, a comrade left him at the hospital in the belief that he would soon recover. When he returned a short time afterward he found that he had passed away, septicemia having set in, casing death. Home Activities During War Period OPERATIONS OF LOCAL BOARD OF COUNTY Registered 7783 Men from June, 1917, to Decem- ber, 1918—1339 Men Called to Army from Total Number Registered. On June 20, 1917, H. S. McClure, sheriff of Whit- man County. J. J. Kimm. county auditor, and Dr. P. A. Bryant, county health officer, were appointed by the President of the United States as mem- bers of the Local Board for Whitman County. The first meeting of the board was held July 2, 1917, at 3:00 o'clock p. m., in the sheriff's oflice at Colfax, at which time the board organized. By virtue of Mr. McClure being sheriff of the county, he was made chairman of the board, and executive oflicer. Mary J. 0. Walter was appointed chief clerk of the board. She resigned April 1, 191S. and Miss Emma Frizzell was appointed in her place. After the organization of the board it was found that J. J. Kimm was in the draft list, and he re- signed. W. S. Cooper was appointed in his plaie. In the fall of the year 1917 Dr. Bryant resigned in order to enter the army overseas and Dr. C. E. Abegglen was appointed to succeed him. About July 1. 1918, Dr. Abegglen and Mr. Cooper resigned and Dr. R. J. Skaife and S. M. McCroskey were named as their successors. T. S. Morrison was appointed as an additional member of the board, on or about October 1, 1918, owing to the need of an extra man. The total number of men of all ages registered in Whitman County for military service was 7,783. The first registration occurred in June, 1917, at which time 3,379 men were registered. The second registration the following June netted 281 men who had reached legal age since the first regis- tration. The third registration included men be- tween the ages of 19 and 36 years, and netted 1,869 men. The fourth registration indued men between the ages of 37 and 45, of which there were 1,963. The last registration held shortly be- fore the cessasion of hostilities, and included young men between the ages of IS and 19 years, added 291 more names to the list of men liable for military service. Of the total of 7.783 regis- tered 1339 men were called to the colors. The members of the board were honorably dis- charged from their duties as members on March 31. 1919. Each received a certificate of service signed by Woodrow Wilson and one signed by Ernest Lister, governor of the state of Washing- ton. COUNTY FOUR-MINUTE MEN ORGNIZATION Valuable Service Rendered During War Period by Loyal Citizens in Each of Many Communi- ties in Whitman County. One of the valuable assets toward the winning of the war was the Four-Minute Men organization. In every community in Whitman county where there was a motion picture house, where citizens congregated, there were maintained speakers. Sev- eral times weekly these men took the platform and delivered four-minute talks on live topics con- cerning war matters. In this manner a great deal of valuable information was disseminated, thereby offsetting the dangerous propaganda which char- acterized the whole of the war period. The personnel of the various organizations over the county was as follows: County chairm.an, B. F. Manring, Colfax. Pullman — Thomas Neill, local chairman; M. S. Jamar, F. E. Sanger, D. C. Dow and E. A. Archer. Palouse — G. D. Kincaid, chairman; F. C. McLam, J. W. Morrison and J. P. Duke. Tekoa — J. D. McMannis, chairman; W. A. Mos- ier, Wm. Schott, M. M. Heacock, S. H. Batell, R. H.

When the call was sent out by the United States Food Administration tor the return of flour being held for food purposes by the people of the na- tion. Whitman county led over all other counties in the United States. Of this amount returned fourteen cars were shipped direct to France, the first of which went from Pullman. J. N. Emer- son, of Pullman, county food administrator, states that the above was an achievement of which all may be proud. Mr. Emerson, on assuming the work early in the war. found a great need of an educational campaign. When this was accomp- lished it was comparatively easy to induce people to use the wheat substitutes. The greatest work was that of keeping a check on the sugar of the county. To aid in this work. Mrs. Emerson was appointed deputy food adm.inistrator, in charge of the sugar rationing. A notable achievement was that of bringing to the county President J. Lyman Wilbur of Stanford University. President Lyman was connected with the national administration and delivered a pow- erful message concerning conservation needs. County Food Administrator Emerson traveled 7.000 miles in his automobile and gave the greater part of his time to the work during his incumb- ency. To him is due a great deal of credit for his fearless administration of all regulations. The local deputies who formed Mr. Emerson's efficient corps of assistants is as follows: Local Deputies.

V. CARPENTER Early in the spring of 1918 the State College of Washington at Pullman was requested by the War Department to prepare itself to train large num- bers of men in several lines of technical work for army service. After a number of conferences, contracts were let under which 300 enlisted men were trained for two months beginning June 15, 1918. These men were divided into groups, each group being trained in one of the following lines: carpentry, general mechanics, automobile me- chanics, truck drivers, blacksmiths, and radio op- erators. The men were selected and sent to Pullman by the various draft boards of the state and after ar- rival were assigned, as far as possible, to the lines of work for which they were best fitted; de- voting about three-fourths of their time to the technical training and the remainder to drill and other military duties. During the summer and fall. 1200 men got their first touch of "KP" at the State College. :300 new men being trained from August 15 to October 15. and 600 more from Oc- tober 15 until Armistice day. Methods of teaching were the most practical possible, with only such theory as was necessary for the men to understand what they were doing. In this way it was possible to give the men a good start in tlieir training and since many came with considerable experience, the results were not by any means discouraging. Just before the opening of the regular college year it was determined that the college should operate as a separate section of the S. A. T. C, thus preventing the partially trained college stu- dent from being drawn into the regular ranks of the army when the need for college trained engi- neers would increase as the war progressed. Five hundred and three men were enrolled in the col- lege section, 61 of whom were in the naval unit. The work for the college men was planned to be an abbreviated college course in which the entire four years' program would be covered in two con- tinuous years without vacation. This proved to be a very unfortunate arrangement, since it was utterly impossible to do satisfactory work at this speed; especially when the men were reciuired to devote a very large amount of time to their military Page Two HundreA Fifty-One With the Colors fboim Whitman County duties. Luckily tlie armistice came before tlie work had gone far. Before the coming of the armistice, the com- panies at the State College were given a touch of real war in their battle with the "flu." in which a number of brave lads made their last fight with- out the privilege of doing it "over there." As the end of the war was seen to be drawing near, the boys gave up hope of ever reaching the other side. The expectation of an early end of the struggle became greater, until on Armistice day the citizens of Pullman were treated to one of the wildest celebrations in the history of the College. Within a short time, as such things go, the men were discharged from service. In the midst of these activities the technical staff of the State College was busy on methods of applying new scientific methods to destruction and defense. Complete plans were worked out and submitted for a range finding equipment for locating enemy guns. This, altho it had been an- ticipated by others, brought a hearty commenda- tion from the committee in charge of this work at Washington. Later, an instrument was con- structed and tested out by those in charge of sapping and mining, for detecting the presence of enemy diggers under ground. Experiments were also under way, and methods, for detecting ac- curately the direction from which sound waves were coming. These were found to be antedated by others, but would have been successful if com- pleted. The greatest contribution made by the State College, however, and that of which siie may well be proud, is the 1400 odd men who entered the service in practically every arm and rank. RECONSTRUCTON WORK AMONG SOLDIERS By ISABELLE McRAE MURDOCK Chief Reconstruction Aide in Phiseo-Therapy, U. S. A. General Hospital No. 1, New York City. A reconstruction aide now-a-days readily sug- gests one who is to help in reconstructing a shat- tered world. The reconstruction aide in phiseo- therapy had a narrow but important part in this task — that of helping in the rehabilitation of our wounded boys. Five or six hundred women were called from over the United States— specially trained for treating war wounds. They served as a special detachmemnt of the medical corps under the command of the surgeon general. A few were sent overseas; many more were mobilized under overseas orders, and, after weeks — in some cases, months — of weary uncertainty at the port of em- barkation, they were stationed at hospitals in the United States, The work of the reconstruction aide in phiseo- therapy was to help nature, surgery, and medi- cine to restore as nearly a perfect man as pos- sible; in many cases the results were amazing. Treatments consisted mainly in radiant heat and light; massage — for building up and restoring weakened tissue; remedial exercises in the gym- nasium for those able to be about; hydro-therapy (all kinds of baths); electro-therapy, in all its phases, for muscles. Joints, nerves, etc.; ultra vio- let ray, for stubborn, open wounds; and anything else conceived by modern science for reclaim- ing the maimed. There were individual treat- ments and treatments in classes; there were "arm classes" and "leg classes" and "flat-foot classes," "hand classes," "heart classes" and "lung classes" — (I speak the language of the men!) Often, a man, wounded, perhaps in both legs and an arm, would be in the phiseo-therapy treatment rooms for three or four hours receiving various treatments. He might have, for instance, deathermia for stiff joints, then a massage, fol- lowed by muscle wave, a second electrical treat- ment; then he might be taken to the static elec- trical room for nerve treatment; and if, by any chance he still had an open wound, he would be passed to the ultra-violet ray specialist. Patients were brought in on litters and in wheel chairs; hobbled in on crutches and canes. The glad day came, of course, when the last arti- ficial support was cast aside and they came halt- ingly in on their own two legs (perhaps one might be artificial!) or dashing in offering a rather un- certain handshake from a hitherto useless hand. No— that was not THE BIG DAY! That came when they "breezed in" in "civies" to say goodbye to their favorite "massage nurse," "physical tor- turer," "blue bird" or what ever other loving (?) name they chose to call the blue-uniformed woman who was a reconstruction aide in phiseo- therapy. WAR SERVICE OF THE STATE COLLEGE OF WASHINGTON LIBRARY. The librarian, W. W. Foote, was appointed di- rector of library publicity for the state of Wash- ington under the United States Food Administra- tion. His principal duty was in securing and com- piling food literature of current interest and to aid in the public distribution of this material through co-operating libraries and affiliated agen- cies. The most noteworthy work was the prepara- tion and publishing of a first and second edition of a sixty-page bibliography, "Food Economy for the Housewife," which was indorsed by the United States Food Administration and adopted as the official list by the American Library Association, committee on food information. More than 8000 copies of this bulletin were sold at cost to the libraries and schools in every state of the union. A bibliography on the subject of textiles and clothing was also published and widely dis- tributed. The co-operation of the Home Economics de- partment was secured in the careful validation of all material listed in these bibliographies. The library director received from the United States Food Administration more than 200.000 bulletins and posters which he distributed to the libraries and schools in the state of Washington. A weekly news letter was published, illustrated by posters drawn by the school children of the state, and giving weekly reports from libraries and schools. Addresses on methods of publicity were given by Mr. Foote in various parts of the state and also in the East. Library exhibits were held at Se- attle. Spokane and other cities of the state, also a notable exhibition of war posters, drawn by the school children of Washington was taken to Washington, D. C, and exhibited in the United States Food Administration building by the di- rector, where it received very favorable comment.

GENEROUS CONTRIBUTION BY CHILDREN Junior Red Cross Society of Whitman County Con- tributed Sum of $1631.40 — Membership Totaled 6525. The children of Whitman County played an ac- tive part during the war. Among the organiza- tions through which the children worked was the Junior Red Cross society. One hundred seventeen schools organized over the county and a member- ship of 6525 boys and girls of school age was se- cured. To these boys and girls was assigned the task of making bedside tables and feather pillows for hospital use; story books, comfort bags, games, etc., for the men in hospitals and in the camps; the gathering of fruit pits for the govern- ment to be used in the manufacture of gas masks. and gathering clothing for the Belgian relief work. All of this work was carried out in a satis- factory manner. In addition to this work, the sum of $1631.40 was contributed in cash. After May 1, 1919, all funds on hand were pro- rated 60 per cent, to the national headquarters for relief of the children in devastated Europe, and 40 per cent, to the Anti-Tuberculosis League of Whitman County for the health crusade carried on over the county. S. F. Shinkle of Colfax served as president of the Junior Red Cross and H. A. Ellis of the same place, as secretary. 12-YEAR-OLD MISS WON JUNIOR CONTEST Jean Fulmer of Pullman Won Junior Four-Minute Contest Over Grade and High School Students on April 11, 1918. Miss Jean Fulmer, the 12-year-old daughter of Mrs. Elton Fulmer of Pullman, on Saturday, April 11, 1918, won first place in the contest for junior Four Minute speakers, conducted by the pupils of the Pullman public schools which included repre- sentatives from the sixth, seventh and eighth grades and the high school. The little lady first won in her room, then in the three grammar grades, and finally over the high school students. She delivered her talk before a large audience at the Grand theatre. Pullman, on the date above mentioned. It was as follows: We think nothing of spending a nickel for candy, or stopping at Dutton's to get a treat, or of going to the movies. Indeed, many of us do all three in one week. If each of the seven hundred pupils in Pullman would save just one nickel a week, the sum of these would be $35.00— enough to buy seven war savings stamps, and would av- erage thirty war savings stamps in one mouth. A war saving stamp is a stamp worth $5.00. It is something more than merely a stamp. It is a stamp which will help the government. One pays between $4.12 and $4.23 for a stamp, which the government on January 1. 1923, pays $5.00. In reality, then, it is a loan to the government for which the government pays interest. If a person does not feel able to buy a war saving stamp at once, he may purchase 25-cent thrift stamps at the banks or post office. He will be handed a thrift stamp card on which to paste his stamps. This thrift card has spaces for sixteen stamps. As soon as he fills this card he can exchange it, with 15 cents, for a war saving stamp. Then he is given a war savings certificate on which he pastes his War Savings stamps. On this certificate are twenty spaces. If all of these spaces are filled the stamps are worth $100.00. Every war saving stamps which we buy helps lick the Kaiser. It helps feed, clothe, arm and pay the salaries of our boys over in Europe. How can we help win this war? There are many ways. We can plant war gardens to furnish us with vegetables that otherwise we would have to buy at the stores. In this way more food can be sent to our soldiers and allies, and we will have more money to loan to the government. Instead of discarding our shoes that have become partly Page Two Hundred Fitty-Tliree With the Colors from Whitman County worn, we can take them to the shoemaker and have them patched and resoled. Thus, we can help win the war in two ways. First, the money we would have spent in huying a new pair can be used in buying War Savings Stamps. Second, the leather that we did not need can be made into shoes for our soldiers and allies who need them. We can help win the war by using substitutes for wheat flour and by using less sugar and fats. All these are great necessities for our armies and the supply is less than the need. A slacker dollar lounges in the corners. It lies in a box on the shelf, or in the bureau drawer. It hides in the old china teapot or under the floor in the cellar. It gives no help either at home or in the war. It is of no use to its owner or to its country. A traitor dollar helps the enemy. It buys more sugar and pork than is needed. It buys the white flour which is hoarded. It is exchanged for some of the 800,000 boxes of chocolate con- sumed in the United States each week. It pays for extravagances which cause unnecessary labor. A patriotic dollar buys War Savings Stamps and helps win the war. Which kind of a dollar would you rather own? WONDERFUL PAINTING IN CITY OF PARIS Lieut. C. W. Laird Tells of Immense Canvas Prepared by French Government Showing Events of World War. Our last day in Paris was the most interesting of all. In the morning we went to the the Pan- theon de la Guerre, where we saw an immense painting measuring 365 feet in circumference and som,e 30 or 40 feet in height. It alone was worth the trip to Paris. The painting is the work of nineteen artists and was started just after the first battle of the Marne in 1914. It represents four years of work and was not finished at the time I saw it. The central part of the picture shows a great number of steps leading up to a very large building, of which only the lower portion is shown. On these steps are a great many French officials and army men, also all of the heroes of France. There are over 5000 actual portraits of Frenchmen who have distinguished themselves in this war, many of whom are dead. These people are there to wit- ness the return of the victorious French armies. Remember, this painting was started in 1914, and these artists must have had great faith in the outcome of the struggle. On either side of the steps are troops marching to Paris to take part in the great review. About one-half of the picture — from the center up — is devoted to landscapes, showing the important towns and cities of France that have been devas- tated. They are represented as burning and vou vould almost take an oath that the smoke is mov- ing. Down in front of the steps is a famous French "75" gun. It is one of the features of the picture, for it seems so real that it stands right out, and does not seem that it can be a thing of paint. The figures in front are also very realistic, especially that of "Papa" Joffre. We were warned before we went in by the "Y." men that we wouldn't believe our eyes, and were told by them that there are no mechanical de- vices whatever in the picture— only paint and canvas. And I must say that in some instances it was difficult to believe the statements. Naturally we were interested in our own sec- tion of the picture. Every nation but ours has a name plate above its section. The artists prob- ably thought it was unnecessary, and thereby paid us a high tribute. The central figure, of course, is President Wilson, and undoubtedly every per- son in the world knows his picture by this time. He is depicted as standing below a pedestal on which is the bust of Washington. He has one of his famous "notes" in his hand. The remainder of the figures are those of our high army and navy and civilian officials. Most of these have been painted from photographs and do not do the subjects justice. However, we were told that this will be remedied in time as the artists have the opportunity to paint these men from life. No doubt in a few years the picture will be brought to the United States for exhibition, and I, for one, am not going to miss an opportunity to see this picture once more. It is the most wond- erful painting that I have ever seen, and it does not take an artist to appreciate it. SOBS (Reproduced from the "Hot Dog," published by the S. A. T.

I hear the bugle toot a toot or two, I give my eyes a rub or two, I give the covers a flop or two, I give my neighbor a shake or two, I grab my shirt and then a shoe, I give my face a wipe or two, I grab my jacket by the flue. I hit a step and sometimes two, I make for mess to get some stew, I give the mess a chew or two, I get a biscuit, sometimes two, I see at once that that will do, I'll take no more or else rob you, I rush to barracks — there's lots to do; I clean a cuspidor, sometimes two, I get a whiff and lose my stew. 1 wonder what I am going to do.
