Loron Sturges and received yesterday
by Mr. Den. It is tho barre, ,or, part
of a barrel of a 1912 Spiugfleld rifle
made at Rockford, 111. Four inches
abovo the butt tho barrel was sheared
In two by shell or shrapnoll, midway
of tho barrell are several deop donts,
and near tho muzzle ond is another cut
almost half through. Only a frag

Ih sending this relic Mr. Sturges
undor date of Juno 20th, says:'
"I am Bonding you a llttlo souvenir
of tho battle of Chateau-Thierry. This
is the battlp in which the old Second
Division of American troops have
made themselves famous and saved
the city of Paris. I was lucky enough
to be assigned to ths division, and j
ihavo been fortunate to bo located
where I could see and tako a small
part in the affair. The pleco of gun
barrel I am sending I picked up on
tho battle field before the dead and)
, wounded had been removed, and It
j plainly shows tho fury and penetrating I
power of tho Gorman shrapnoll. Of
; the hundreds of guns scattered on the j
; fields, evory one is cut up, and you
can imagine what tho remains of a
.human must bo after going through
such an avalanche or lead and stcof,
Tho warfare Is In the open In this
