Miss Inez Honer was in charge of

Attorney J. S. Gilliam in a twenty

In this connection the subjoined

ti 0. Kills, of Red Cloud, describing
ins expeuence in the military notion
afraid I could not describe it anyway.
I novel' beloresaw an nreoplano act in
the wuy that one did. Hut would llko
to see h lot u ore If thoy were the same
kind From what we tend I guess tho
Americans are making themselves felt
n the air now. Itelieve me, the Liberty
motor sounds good going through the
.dr.
There is plenty of action for the boys
iver here now. Of course there is no
citing how tins thing is coining out,
Out we havo grvat hopes, (iuess the

From a later letter we get the gra.

After altVotiotiuto greetings to his

I don't understand why this machine
-hould take a notion to write red. I
now I am not seeing led oven though
ve did just got an order to wear our
i'iis musks at the "alert." Some one
ays wo will get a cloud of wis right
i way and no one seems to want to see
us tile, bo they tell us to wear our gas
nusks, It is a lot of fun to wear them,
'oo.
1 hope the attack don't conio because
t is a most Inconvenient thing to have
j run around breathing through a gus
rttsk. Wo are just wearing thorn at
vhnt is called the "alert." that is,
eady to put on in not more than six
eennds. 1 have heard nf fellows put-
lug them on In one second, but don't
now whether to believe suohu state -
nont or not. I do know, liowver.th.t
t fellow can put one on in mighty
-hoit order when ho knows that It
really means something to him to got
t on quick.
I nover saw a cloud gas attack so If
'his proves to bo one 1 will be seeing

him when he got, his; bomb-proof job,
but if stie hud been, around tho otlmr
day sho would nave thought about
moving back a .shott distuuee ai.y
way. Tlfo night of the Uth-lrith, at exact
ly midnight by my watch, I woke up
with a start We had been cctting
awakened uiuhts, bur this time it was
a little iliiferetit. We usually went
right buck to sleep, or else got up to
seo the sight If they were shelling
enough to show much This tlmo
there wus no question about it. The
sky was all lighted up as if thero was
a bunch of big (lre.s all along the front
and the big guns wore mnklug close
and blight Hushes, like Humes leaping
up fiom tho lire beneath. From the
diiectlou of the trenches came u sound
Dike that of a heavy wind end thunder
storm. And tho Hashes and thunder
seemed mighty close to us. Then the
shells commenced to whine over our
heads. Shells Unit were not going to
hind anywhere near us would sound
much HV a'i elevated railway train nt
some distance oil, and there would bo
whistling n de ahead of them. When
(hey were going to burst pretty close,
the noi-o they inula; is dllllcult to ties
cribe. I have lu-anl many say they
make a sort of wnhldimj nole, but
tlifit don't iiiean 'tt ' t w nnd I swp

ftO'HuU ii. ie,
Xo one around headquarters wns
killed or injured; In tact no shells hit
closer to us than two hundred yards,
Hut believe me, that in close enough
for a fellow'u good health. Tho shell
were landing within two or three
hundred yards from us forabout forty
eight hours, aveiaging abontoiij every
eight or ten minuted. The big bom
bardment lasted from twelve o'clock
until about live o'clock the next morn
lug. It was the heaviest during the first
two hours (or else we were mot o scared
' then and noticed it mme. I don't know
' which) and then about three-thirty It
got heavier again and came in ut an
.awful rate lor an hour and a half
j The French who were with us say
they never heard anything like It, nnd
j they were with the troops, in tho big
battle of Verdun, so you may imnglnc
it was some bombardinont.
j When the Germans came over the
, top they attacked with three men to
our .one, and they never gained tin
inch of ground.. Whcio they would

not so small either.
Taking every thing in toconsideration'
we were mighty tickled over the out
come, and my peisounl opinion is that
it marks tho end of the German offen
sive. The pnpers say they have beeu
held all along the Hue the same us
they were in the sector that thisdivis-
Ion occupies, and that siiresoundstino.
This Is the first time 1 have ventured
to make a guess on the length q Uiet
war but I am beginning to have hopes,
that pence will tie declared before
Christmas and a Kind of a hope that
poiluips I may eat my Christmas din
ner at home, too.
Of course I may be a little optomls
Ic, but I can't liolp but think the Ger
mans got the worst licking of tholr ,
career when they started out this time.
Their attack was sine short-lived.
The night after the big doings you
would not have leOognizcd tho place
us the same partol the Hue before tho
heavy artillery lire.
The big battle or something else
seems to have made rain a little more
frequent of lato, but it hasn't run us
out of our te'nt as yet. Don't know
how much longer we m.iy be able to '
stay in it though. However, wo aro

Each One Has a Duty
Fiom the best people and the high
est authorities ever land again comes
endorsement of tho moving picture as
an educational factor.
This angle of the "silent drama"was
never better exemplified than in "Tito
Gown of Fate," presented nt the Orph
emu by .Manager Warren, Friday and
Satutduy.
Evidence of its attrictivo power lies
In the fact that tho nudlonco was lnrg
er at tho third presentation than at.
tho preceding cues.
The title Is misleading. It suggests
lovo, laces and lingerie, while as a
manor of fact the picture is a high
grade war story, replete with patriot-
Ism and tin 111.
Its strong lessou is that everyono
has his or her part to perform in tho
great world war. That we cannot all
be soldiers at the front, but we can
perform duties here at homo which
aro or equal vuluo. That each otio of
us can do foino necessary part In mnk-
lug tho world safe for democracy.
