D. J. BABCOCK WRITES OF SIGHTS IN FRANCE

Somewhere in France. ' August 21, 1918. Dear Father —Was very glad to get your interesting letter of July 23, which I received last evening. The cartoon is certainly very appropriate and it is quite true to conditions over here.* Have been having it quite easy for the past week, being in the motor repair shops for a little work on the “mill.’’ I helped do the work, grinding valves, fitting in some new bearings, etc., and was glad to get the opportunity to do so.

1 have/ written you and mother several letters since arriving in France, and you, no doubt will soon receive them or probably have done so by now. I also wrote George a week or two ago, but don’t suppose he has received it yet. All of our letters have to be censored, you know, and that takes Up considerable time, but is improving lately. There is but little to write about of interest 'here now, that I haven’t already told you. “Jerry,’’ as the British call the Huns, has been shelling the town where we were stationed with one of his long range guns, and he came so close to our outfit that we were ordered to move at onoe, and since then have been free from the noise made by his shells, except while on certain roads which he shells freely on dull days at the front. I saw one big shell fall behind us the other day and it injured four horses and two men, killing two other horses outright. It is moonlight here almost every night and Bosche aeroplanes frequently come over and drop a few bombs, but so far we have not been bothered much by them. In the day time it is quite hot and the dust on the roads is something fierce, so heavy is the traffic. I have seen quite a /bit of France, making several long trips, all of which are interesting as there is usually something new and novel to be seen each time. Expect to write Ossie (Omar Osborne) today if I can get the time/ The list you publish of the boys from home here should be sent to each one of them so they could write each other if they desired to do so. Am sorry to hear that the linotype machine has been giving you trouble, and also that you are kept too busy to exercise /Jack Hudson.” "(the family auto.) I certainly would like to do that for you, and don’t believe it will be so very many months until we’ll all be home again. Reports to division headquarters last night said that the American and French troops in Southern France had taken 8,000 prisoners and several guns and still had the Bosche on the run there. A portion of our division was In action on this front and in a minor operation secured forty prisoners and- a gun or two, which makes one feel exceptionally good as it presages ill luck for the Germans once these Americans get going at full speed. I was talking to an army corps engineer the other day—an American—and he said that if the war did go through the winter it would be a great surprise to i)im, and ir it did, a great allied offensive next

COMRADES RIDE TO DEATH

RENSSELAER BOY IN AIRPLANE ACCIDENT FATAL TO HIS FELLOWS. The following letter is from Gaylord Long, son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Long, of this city. He is at Pensacola, Florida: September 25, 1918. My Dearest Mother and All: Just got back from the hospital, where I received one of the most careful inspections and examinations that I ever received in the navy. The reason for this is as follows: We started out for a two-hour flight this morning at about 10:15 in one of those large seaplanes. They measure 100 feet from wing tip to wing tip and are equipped with two Liberty motors. They weight five tons and carry a crew of five men. That is, one pilot, two men receiving instruction and two mechanicians or engineer gunners. ./ We left the beach at 10:15 and were oh our way. We had just left the water and were about 200 feet in the air when all of a sudden something gave way and we went into a "‘side slip” and never came out of it until we crashed into the water. It happened so quick that about all I can remember is that we started falling and the next minute we were in 50 feet of water.

‘ When I came too and realized what had happened I began looking for my mechanician, whom I was instructing. The water had filled the hull of the boat, so I could not see him but I could climb down into the mechanician’s lockpit, where I finally found him. I pulled him out of the hole where I could have a chance to hold on to him till he could take care of himself, but he was cut across the face and one side was mashed terribly, ’so all I could do was to take care of him. They say at the hospital that he cannot live long at the best. The pilot and student pilots were either killed or drowned because as yet they have not found, any of them. lam afraid they never will, as there have been two men killed and they have never’been found. The tide either carries them out to sea or the sharks eat them, and believe me this bay is full of sharks. Tell Vern Nowels that his guess on the shark problem was all O. K., but I thought he was all wrong until now. I guess I am pretty lucky, but as they say down here you can never tell. It has reduced my nerve about 99 per cent and right now I feel like I don’t care for any more rides, but will start again Thursday. I can’t feel a sore spot on my body at present but suppose when the nervousness wears off I can tell more about it. I don’t want you to worry about this or anything else, because a “miss is as good as a mile.”

summer would more than satisfy the German lust for war. We are all hoping he is right, as it is a rather 'monotonous business, to. say the least. Our company is soon to take over the trucks from the British and I expect to get a place in the repair shop then and a good chance to learn more about the mechanism of the machines. We have' some excellent mechanics with our company, and I belieive it will be an opportunity that shouldn’t be overlooked. Tell mother I’ve plenty of clothing at present, all in good shape and that the quartermaster is going to issue woolen sox this winter that are already here and which are almost as heavy as those she made me. / . Well, Dad, it is about time to turn in, so will close for this time, hoping this finds all well andL enjoyin#-, a good run of business. Give my regards to all. I don’t think the 70 who left for Camp Tayior will ever see France, I hope not anyway. Write. DEB.

TWO AIRPLANES WERE HERE

LARGE CROWD OF PEOPLE WITNESS FLIGHT OF AIRBIRDS. The ideal day permitted a great crowd of visitors to witness the flight of the two airplanes that came to this city today. Two of these airmen.came in from the west about ten and left going northeast at about 11:30 a. m. . Before leaving both machines made a very beautiful circle about the city. Their visit here was to boom the the Amsler aviation field and many were permitted to examine the planes. Their ivsit here was to boom the Fourth Liberty Loan drive which began this Saturday morning.

FORMER ASHLAND BOY DID ACT OF HEROISM

Among the splendid deeds of heroism accorded to the American soldiers in France few equal that one accomplished by a former Ashland boy, who, by his quick forethought and noble self-sacrifice, saved the lives of a large number of his comrades a short time ago. Ferris Abbett, son of Rev. J. T. Abbett, a former clergyman of the local Methodist church, was in action on one of the battle fields of France, when a grenade was thrown by a German near the trench where these American troops were stationed. Ferric caught the grenade in his hands, threw. it L on the ground, dropped his tin hat on ’it and stood on it, while his comrades made theii; escape. The bomb exploded, severely injuring the heroic boy, but none of his comrades in that section were hurt. The above is taken from the Ashland (Oregon) Times. The father of this brave boy is a brother of Mrs. Ben D. McColly, of this_city.

TAKE UP WINTER RESIDENCE.

President H. R. Kurrie and family have closed their beautiful home in this city and have opened their winter home in Chicago. Mrs. Kurrie and one of the boys left here today, accompanied by Miss Ida Millikin and Catherine Jarvis. Miss Millikin will spend the winter with the Kurries.

BRIDGE DAMAGED BY FIRE.

The Monon railroad bridge across the Iroquois just east of this city caught fire about 11 o’clock Friday" night and was so badly damaged that two passenger trains and one freight train were delayed several hours. William VanArsdel and his crew of bridge carpenters were dispatched to the scene of the Are, which had been put out by men from Ibis city. The repairs were quickly made and the bridge was again in use this Saturday morning. Carpenters had been dging some repairs on this bridge.
