Phone Soul II, MEETS BROTHER IN HOSPITAL AT MYERS, FRANCE Evart Weyerman Writes of Fighting Before Armistice; Meets Brother After Four Years' Separation. Both shot in the same leg and meeting in a convalescent hospital in France after a separation of four years, are some of the coincidences which befell the two brothters, Evart and Walter Weyerman, with the A. E, F. in France. x Both brothters had seen much service in France, Evart having been wounded in the drive on Sedan. A younger brother, Paul Weyerman, is with the army of occupation in Germany. In Drive on Sedan. The experiences of the two broth t rs are related in a letter written by Evart to his brotbter, Ernest, 1016 South Twenty-seventh street. "As the -ensorship has been lifted I have- something to write about," he begins. . "My outfit was in reserve during the fighting in the Argonne forest. I was in a French hospital most of the time, but I joined my company in time to go into action in the drive on Sedan. We established a railhead in the ruined town of St. Menehoudon at the edge of the Ar gonne and then we worked the roads into shape all the way to Sedan. It was some job, as the roads were all mined and constantly under fire. Also all the bridges had to be re built. Freeze Fast in Mud. "From November 1 it rained con tinually and everywhere the mud was from six inches to three feet deep. You can imagine how hard that made it for us. It was cold too, and when we would wake up about 4 a. m., we would have to break out of the mud that had frozen around us while we slept. "I did not mind being hit because I figured I'd get a warm bed and something to eat at the hospital. When I woke up after being oper ated on I was told that the armistice had been signed. I was somewhat disappointed at this, but when I heard that the wounded were to go home first I though it was all right" "What do you think of me run ning into Walt yesterday? He was wounded in the same place as me, but he is in good shape now while my wound is just beginning to heal. We are in the same hospital. "I met some fellows out of Paul's outfit and they said that they did not have many casualties so I guess Paul is in Germany with the third army." The letter yas written on Decem ber 2 from the U. S. Convalescent hospital in Myeres, France. Sales of Registers Show , Omaha Is Well to the Fore One o fthe best indications of the prosperity of any community is the sale of high grade specialties, espec ially those sold to , the business houses. That Omaha is right out in front, is shown by telegrams just received by H. B. Whitehouse, sales manager for the National Cash Reg ister company, and T. W. McClure, salesman for Omaha, from the gen eral sales manager at the factory, that they have both qualified for the 100 per cent club, which is the select of the company's 1,600 salesmen based on their year's sales.
