Friends in Omaha have received notification of the death of Lieut. Waldo E. Shillington, U. S. A., in an airplane accident in France Decem ber 5. His relatives reside in Nor folk, Neb. Lt. Shillington graduated about three years ago from the Central high school in Omaha.

Home of the Thomp-son-Bclden company received a Christmas letter from his son, Sergt. Howard C.

Quoting from his letter, he says: "It is pretty cold up here, but we have good straw ticks and plenty of blankets so we manage to keep warm. Captain Lindquist is town major, an officer which compares to the city mayor in the states, so we are running things pretty much to suit ourselves. A good many of the boys are beginning to leave for home now, but it looks like we will be kept here for some time yet; probably some time next summer. On our next move I will get about 12 Ford ambulances and drivers. The rest will make the trip on the train. Tell the folks that our com pany is about the only one over here which has not been split up, but so far we have been kept intact and we surely appreciate it."
