HEBERT HAMMOND VISITS SOME OF OLD COMPANY M.

Herbert Hammond, who has just returned to the east after spending a thirty-day furlough with his parents here, writes to his father, County Auditor Hammond, as follows: “I went over to Camp Mills to call on the Colonel (George H. Healey) and he was in New York City. I loafed around the camp awhile and old Co. M, which is part of an artillery regiment, pulled in. I saw Laban Wilcox, Glen Swaim, Orphia Gant, Harvey Myers, Lieut. George Healey, Casey Hemphill and several others. I couldn’t find Ernest Moore, Lieut. Nowels and Captain Garland,- nor Jimmy Eldridge. I think I will go over again today, as we don’t have anything to do. The fellows want me to transfer to their outfit, as they are short of men. Capt. Tutuer was out there. There are about 1,200 men here now and 250 of them are in the-hospital with the Spanish influenza. There were 150 new cases this morning. It looks like we would, all be quarantined before night.”

NEEDS HIS LAST SON VERY MUCH

Tunis Snip, of Keener township, was in Rensselaer Tuesday. He has a son, Tunis, who is now in France, also another son, William, who is in Camp Custer, and he has one son at home. Mr. Snip has a large farm and has a great amount of work to do yet to take care of his large crop. He has a large amount of cabbage, onions and must fill his silo. His last son has 'been put in class 1 by the district board, but it does not seem right to require this home to send three boys to war when not a single one has gone from other homes where the sons are not as essential to the proper handling of the farm. Mr. Snip is willing for his third son to go to war, but it will make it very difficult for him to take care of his crops and continue to be a valuable producer of food.

FOURTH LIBERTY LOAN SUNDAY

NINE MEETINGS TO BE HELD IN JASPER COUNTY IN THE AFTERNOON. The Fourth Liberty Loan is on its way. The government is asking its citizens for a loan of six billion dollars. Jasper county’s allotment is four hundred fifty thousand dollars. This may seem at first thought like a large sum, but it is very small compared with the sacrifice the boys in the service are making; they are doing their full share; we must>do our full share. The war must be fought and won here at home as much as 'on the battlefields of Europe and Asia. If the war is not won promptly it will TO the fault of the people at horn's. Out boys “over there” are. not faltering or hesitating; they are going over the top. If we are-as proud of them as we should be and as we claim to ibe, we will go ver the top here at home. The State Fuel Administrator has made an order under which automobiles may be used on Sunday, for Liberty loan purposes. The local committee has arranged for a number of Sunday afternoon meetings throughout the county on Sunday, September 28, at which there will be singing and speaking. Everybody in the township in which these meetings are held should attend the meetings. Sunday, September 28, 1918, should be made a day to be remembered in the history of Jasper county. The attendance at these Meetings should be so large and the enthusiasm resulting therefrom so strong that we jyill at once go over the top. Jasper county was the banner county in the state in the Third Liberty loan. We cannot afford to lose our position anxTstanding. We cannot afford to let reports go to the boys at the front from Jasper county that we at home are not doing our full duty. The following is a schedule of the Liberty Loan meetings for Sunday, September 28. All meetings to be held at 3 o’clock p. m., fast time. It is thought best to make the meeting a strong patriotic meeting with as much inspiration as possible, and lo avoid the actual selling of bonds. Following are the places of the meetings and those assigned to them: Jordan —Egypt, Mr. Foltz and Mrs. Barber.

Milroy—Baptist church, Mr. Spitler and Mrs. John Gwin. Hanging Grove—MeCoysburg, Mr. and Mrs Williams. " - Newton—Curtis Creek, Rev. Postil! and Miss Merry. Union—Parr, Mr. Hamilton and Mrs. Dean. Barkley—Barkley church, Rev. Fleming and Miss Shedd. Gillam—lndependence, Mr. and Mrs. Chapman. Walker —Joint Sunday school meeting, Mr. Wood. Keener—DeMotte, Mr. Dunlap, Mrs. Ed. Randle and Miss Geyer. Kankakee —Tefft, ’Mr. Halleck and Mrs. Jordan. Other meetings will be held at other places in the campaign.

HARRIS ACTING THE ADJT GEN. —BUT A ÜBEBTT BOND TODAT—FRED HAMILTON WRITES ♦OF HIS WOUNDS

The following letter was received by Mr. and Mrs. L. H. Hamilton from their son. At the request of a large number of friends the letter is published, even with Fred requesting that we do not do so: England, Sept. 6, 1918. My dearest father and mother:— First now I am sitting in one of the nicest private hospitals in England. This hospital is for face injuries only. There are only a few here and only two Canadians. ' I sent you all a cable last night. I sincerely hope it reaches you in due time. Now there is no need of you all worrying. You should rejoice that I sas not killed. It was like this: I was in my armored car. We were going along a main road ahead of our infantry and everything. Well I was hit in the morning about 11 o’clock with a piece of a shell but stuck to the car and the boys. We kept on advancing until about 2:30 When the driver stalls his engine. I jumps- out to crank it, when “old Fritz” let drive with his machine gun. One bullet caught me in the cheek (right) and hit my jaw bone and came out just within a hair’s width of my juggler. The other bullet grazed the Adam’s apple. So here lam as big as life. I have been hit five times now, but the last two were the worst, lee, I am in a wonderful hospital. Everything is just lovely. Special bod. I can only barely open my mouth, have to keep it shut for a while now, so I have to eat soft food. I still believe myself to be lucky. Gee, 'but it was a great feeling and it really brought tears when I got off the train here in London. The street was lined with women who cheered us as we went by and threw flowers at us. Dad, just, well, darn it, I was; so glad to know they appreciated my ( work and the rest of the boys. It takes i away the dark cloud from our suf-' sering and, well, I will spend two more years in France if I get over this O. K.

I have kept lots from you all. Did not go to hospital when I was hit before so they would not report me wounded, but this time they got me good. My address is: Hospital for Facial Injuries, 78 Brook St., London, West One. I have dropped a card to “Doc” Johnson. I expect him down real soon to see me. Do not know how this being wounded is going to affect my commission in the American army. I expect to hear from it real soon. I figure from two to six months here in the hospital. Of course, a fellow can never tell. Dad, I can chc.se around London, go to shows, etc. Of course, we have certain hours to do this. I do not care about going around much at the present. My face is twice normal and all black and blue, with a bandage yards long wrapped around it. Fine sight. ■ Remember my letters are not for publication. Well, I will close for today. Do. not worry. With love, Your son, FRED. The following cable was received from Dr. Johnson Tuesday night: ChHsendon Camp. Louis Hamilton, Rensselaer, Ind. Machine gun bullet through jaw, slight disfigurement, done fine. Johnson.

BUT A LIBERTY BOND TODAY

WEDNESDAY WAR SUMMARY. *

With the Turkish armies in Palestine crushed and the Bulgarian line in Macedonia shattered, Marshal Foch has launched a new offensive straight at St. Quentin, one of the strongest bastions of the Hindenburg line in France. At latest reports the French and British had captured four villages within about two miles of the city; have taken more than 1,300 and are still advancing despite heavy resistance. This new smash, following minor local gains of the last few days, which have placed the allies in a position to reduce both St. Quentin and La Fere, is of great importance in the development of the plan to oust the Germans from France this fall. If successful it will in all probability force a new and wide adjustment of the German lines, which may carry the enemy back far toward the Bel-

gian border. Meanwhile, in Macedonia, the surprisingly successful offensive of the French, British, Italian, Serbian and Greek armies continues to yield results. Prilep, the base of the routed Bulgarian armies, has been captured and allied troops far to the right are sweeping into Bulgaria itself. The fall of Prilep is expected to make difficult, if not impossible, extrication of the western Bulgarian army which had its base there. Everywhere the Bulgarians are in rapid, disorderly flight, with the allies in close pursuit. German troops, sent to save the day, apparently are most concerned in saving themselves. Advances of five and ten miles a day are being made by the entente troops. The situation in the Balkans is such that if fully exploited, as there seems every indication the allied high command plans to do, Bulgaria may be dealt a blow which will put that country out of the war, for the time, if not permanently. Having driven a deep and growing wedge between the Bulgarian armies, the allies are on the one hand sweeping north through Serbia and on the other driving into the heart of Bulgaria.
