BOLSHEVIK ARMY DEFEATED; 31,000 TAKEN PRISONERS

V ladi vosto k, Monday, D e>c. 30. (By the Associated Press) —In capturing Perm in the Ural Mountains, Gen. Gaida, at the head of Czechoslovak and Siberian forces, virtually destroyed 1 the Bolshevik third army from which he took 31,000 prisoners. Gen. Gaida’s troops captured an armed train from which Nikolai Lenine, the Bolshevik premier, was directing operations in the region of Perm. Lenine himself escaped, but several members of has party were taken* prisoners. The exploit of Gen. Gaida in capturing Perm parallels his success in the campaign of last summer. His superiors opposed his iplan of attack against Perm- and he carried out the operation at the risk of removal from his command. The bulk of his forces was made up of Siberian troops, but he had two regiments of Czechs in his army, In addition to the 31,000 prisoners reported, Gen. Gaida captured 5,000 railway cars, 120 field guns, 1,000 machine guns, thirty automobiles, an entire wagon transport, several armored trains and sever® thousand horses. His maneuver was a complete surprise to the Bolsheviki, as proved by the fact that he captured several prominent Soviet leaders at the headquarters of the Third Bolshevik army. Ten Bolshevik regiments are declared to have been annihilated and the rest of the enemy army was driven acr*. ss the Kama River.

He has not recovered from the effects of the injury to his right leg and returned to the lowa fort for further medical attention. It will be remembered that our Dr. Washburn is at this fort. Private Dunker is the first soldier wounded in France to be in our city. He saw six months’ overseas service.

LETTER "FROM D. J. BABCOCK.

Mr and Mrs. F. E. Babcock have received a leter from theif son, D. J. Babcock, from whom they had not heard since before, the signing of the armistice, and which the Republican is permitted to publish herewith: Ballou, France, Dec. 5, 1918. ZZTDSar- Mother— -W-as very glad to get your letter of November 5 yesterday, but was very sorry to hear of Willard’s (Zea) death from influenza. He was such a decent, honest sort of a kid and such a good worker ’that it was too bad he should die so young. Our division has had but little trouble from the epidemic so far ana as it is abating almost eyerywhere, no serious results are anticipated. I wishyou could have been here to witness the French people celebrate the discontinuance of hostilities brought about •by signing •of the armistice. It was certainly a spontaneous and altogether a great demonstration of feeling by people who had long ago tired of the misery and suffering caused by war.

At the time of the signing of the armistice with Germany our division —wag back on rest arid t ‘ believe was preparing to leave the British front (St. Quentin-Cambrai) and if the war had continued it would have had its next try at the Germans on the American sector in Alsace-Lorraine. Since writing you last I have lost my English driver and‘ 'have been doing all driving myself. Have traveled about 2,500 miles, including several large cities and many places - noted all over the world for their (historic beauty. The Amiens cathedral was among them. Undoubtedly this is one of the oldest and finest specimens of ancient architecture in France today. It certainly is a beautiful place.

We are now located in one of the. finest and oldest sections of France and here we are being treated, the ./have.-ever been by 4toe civilians. who generally before considered an American as a legitimate victim for the civiliana’ exploitation in a hold-up. I have paid as high as 9 1-2 francs ($1.80) for a—dozen eggs in some sections of the country. Here we get half a dozen eggs, beef steak, potatoes, coffee, bread and butter for 4 francs (80cj and we certainly appreciate it, too. We are now on the edge of the American sector and are treated with considerable more deference than has ever been shown us before while attached to the British. I have not seen a any of the home fellows yet, but as I am in the workshops at present and don’t get out much, may be able to do so later if any are near here.

A peculiar incident occurred the other day while at the ration dump. This dump is in Charge Of a division that has never been up to the front? and one of them came ~upr~tp the “truck and thought he would evidently scare me by asking me how I liked being so close to the front. I smiled and told him that if I didn’t get any closer to the front than the ration dump I would consider the trip to France a picnic. He wag evidently under the impression that he was close to Jerry’s guns, yet it was at least 200 miles from the dump to the front. When he learned that we belonged to the 30th division he caihe back and plied me with all sorts of questions and wanted to purchase some souvenirs, but I told him I had none, mat they were so common up front we never bothered to pick them up. While I’m telling you about the ration dump let me say that we are at last drawing honest-to-God American rations and to say that they are a decided improvement is putting it mildly. I have several times thought of getting you a souvenir pillow top and will do so now that it can be sent you. Will also send a little remem dad and grandma, whom I are 'both well. As regards the Popular Mechanics and The Democrat, I receive the latter jff O. K., but 1 have only copy of the former. If *you send any more, please address them to me as 30 th Div., M. T. Co., and I’ll be sure to get them a great deal sooner. Have just completed a letter to Ossie, having received a field post card froin him.

It is quite dark and dreary here, but is not cold, just damp and foggy mdst of the time. The “Stars and Stripes” (the official organ of the A. E. F.) recently carried a story to the effect that the 30th and 27th divisions would be among the first to return to the States, but today a notice was posted, signed by our commanding general, denying that we would sail for home until early next spring. However, one can judge by the check-ups, etc., taking place, and my candid opinion i.s that we will soon be on our way to America —possibly before Christmas.' It was rumored around that December 25 would see us swinging along Pennsylvania avenue in Washington, D. C., passing in 'review before war department officials preparatory to receiving discharges. In fact, rumor even went so far as to say that our sister division, the 27 th New York, would do the same thing in New York city on the same date. But it now appearsthat these rumors were uttftranded. ~~—~~ ~ Have you heard from George lately? I don’t believe he will ever be sent over here, but will soon be discharged and sent home. Well, mother, I guess Ive bored you longed enough, .so, i wishing all a merry Christmas and a (happy New Year, will close for thte time. With love, your son, DEB.

LITERARY CLUB PROGRAM.

The few members of the Ladies’ Literary Club who braved the frigid atmosphere of Friday afternoon to hear the excellent program presented were well repaid. The question of government control of public utilities was presented Dy Mrs. L. E. Barber, whose name on a program is always an assurance that the subject willpe given in the most helpful and entertaining manner. Taxing as an illustration the transportation and distribution of the output of a single coal mine in eastern Kentucky, she proceeded to illustrate the advantages of government supervision over public utilities. The suoject being one of such broad interest and complicated in its relations to every other question of public interest makes it one to be viewed from many angles, but the intelligent consideration of such subjects in this unbiased and unpolitical manner can not fail to mean much to those who wish to form their own opinions of those questions that are frequently discussed in the light of political pre(I.U.CIC6S* The subject, “Our American Soldiers,” was impersonated Dy Captain Cope Hanley, Lieutenant Edson Murray, N. C. Shafer, of the ordnance department, and Harry Moore of the tank service, who gave most interesting accounts of their own experiences in the service. Captain Hanley spoke of the mental tests given and -of the interest it had aroused in his own mind in the study of army psychology, of which subject he hopes in connection with a fellow student to publish his observations. N. C. Shafer, after explaining the work of his own department and describing the quantities of military materials accumulated on the eastern coast, made the assertion that he was quite certain that no other country would be wise in “getting funny” with Uncle Sam. He illustrated the gigantic scale on Which, this country was doing things by stating that in the day on which the armistice was signed this country manufactured 2500 tons of mustard gas, which was more than al Ithe European countries together.. Lieutenant Murray relieved the seriousness of the discussion by giving a very humorous account of his own experiences as a private*in learning to ride and care for a horse and respond to the various other strenuous and new experiences to which he was subjected. His frank confessions elicited many hearty laughs from his hearers. Harry Moore’s story of the difference between the life of a tank man as pictured by the enlistment officers and the actual experience, caused many smiles; having a picture in one’s mind of going across to a foreign training camp With all the new and wonderful experience that would imply, and then to be given A pick and shovel to help put in a sewerage system in a N. C. camp, would no doubt prove a rude awakening. The boys each spoke in the very highest terms of the work of the Y. M. C. A, and the part that the women have played in the life of the soldier. It was evident that although they had been in the service but a short time their ©vision had been greatly enlarged £ that home, their fellow men and religious institutions would mean more than they ever .could have meant otherwise. Their willingness to respond to the invitation to speak was greatly Appreciated by the chib* xx I
