Adolph Wesch
Writes from Old
Home in Baden
Well Known Farmer Enjoying Visit
With Relatives in Germany
Visits Black Forest.
Adolph Wesch, well known farm
er residing west of this city, who
Is now on a trip to bis old home in
Germany, writes to friend3 under
the date or August 23 from the old
heme in Baden, Germany.
Mr. Wesch states that he had been
visiting with the parents at their
home in an attractive village ot
Hie Black Forest region of Germany,
a part of the country filled with
much of the charm and romance of
the old Germany of the past cen
turies. The parents are 78 and 76
vears of age and celebrated their
;o!den wedding anniversary just after
the arrival of Mr. Wesch from the
United States.
Mr. Wesch tells of the many
beauties of the Black Forest, the
great pine trees that tower from
seventy to eighty feet and are so
thick that the sun is seldom able to
penetrate extensively into the forest
and in the spaces where the trees
are less thick antelope are to be
found grazing.
The scenery along the Rhine Is
very beautiful, Mr. Wesch states and
the large castles centuries old, dot
the hillsides of the historic' river.
In thl3 section fruits and the vine
yards are excellent and show great
yields.
At the time of writing the letter
Mr. Wesch was contemplating going
the next week to Berlin where he
would visit a sister and then go east
through the Polish country to East
Prussia to visit relatives of the Sie
moneit family who reside there.
The developments of the days since
the letter was written have, how
ever, changed the plans of Mr.
Wesch. as war is now prevailing
over that part of Europe. Now the
German army and the Poles are
battling through the areas wliere Mr.
Wesch was to make his Journey and
the French and British armies are
or- moving-into the sections that
threaten the Black Forest section.
