INTERESTING LETTER FROM JOHN MOORE

Grevenmacher, Luxemburg, December 19, 1918. Dear Mother and AU:— Well, I made" my second trip into Germany 'today. We were put into the army of occupation some ten days ago and started for Germany. But when we got this far we were ordered to halt. We were transferred back into the.second army of reserve. We are just across the river from German territory. I walked over the bridge Monday morning and entered Germany, just to say I was there. Today I was in the city of Trier. The French call it Treves. I in after a load of gasoline and oil. The city itself is quite a historical place, made so by former wars. The people living in this city seemed to be in pretty good shape, so far as clothes went. The women were well dressed, especially the girls. They seemed almost human (American.) • On our trip toward Lorraine the through the city of Luxembourg. It certainly is a beautiful city, the most beautiful city I have seen in this country. Of course, you know Luxemburg was not in the war, so naturally it is not destroyed in any way. O nour trip Reward Lorraine the people certainly treated us royally. They sent their children down town to get the soldiers to come and stay at their hbuses. I got into a German family. They had a son 18 years old who is in the German army. However, they treated me swell. I couldn’t ask for better treatment any place. I had the swellest little girl friend in the town of Oettinger. She was six years old and had snow white hair. Her first name was Matilda. I wanted to bring her home with me but her mother told me she couldn’t do without her. Hoping this finds you all in the best of health, even as good as mine, I’ll close with love to all and hoping to see you before next Xmas (1919). Your loving son, JOHN.

William Gray, of Monon, was in Rensselaer today.

ST. JOE FIVE BESTS Y. M. P. C.

COLLEGE QUINTET MAINTAINS RECORD • TO DATE. St. Joseph College basket ball team still has a 1000 per record on this season games, having won six and lost none. The following account is taken from the Lafayette Journal of the game played by the local college boys there Tuesday night: St. Joseph college basket [ball team defeated the Y. M. P. C. tossers last night at the St. Boniface hall by a score of 17 to 7. The St. Boniface men seemed bewildered throughout the game and could not get any teamwork of passing into the playing. The game was fast and of a rough and tumlble nature. Neither side was able to score during the first five minutes of play until Schaefer, of the visiting team, dropped in a field goal. O’Brien then made two field goals in rapid sue-, cession, making the score 6 to O in favor of the visiting team. Beile then shot Schaefer’s personal and missed. The ball rebounded into Pawlak’s hands and he made a ringer for the locals. O’Brien missed Beile’s foul and Beile missed Schaefer’s personal. He came back the next minute and dropped a two point 'tally in for St. Beile then converted O’Brien’s personal into a point and the half ended with the score standing 6 to 5 in favor of St. Joseph. At the start of the second half Wellman had a personal called on him and Beile made it count for a point. This made the tally stand 6 to 6. Belie then converted O’Brien’s personal into a count and this gave the locals the lead. O’Brien then made Kallmeyer’s personal count and the score wfis again tied, standing 7 to 7. O’Brien then made the personal called on Runyon. This gave the visitors the lead and they kept it throughout the rest of the game. Rose, .of St. Joe’s team, then dropped a field goal followed by Schaefer, who shot a two point tally. O’Brien then converted Runyon’s foul into a point and Schaefer shot the ‘final field goal. . . O’Brien was the star for the visiting aggregati on, showing-mutch fight and clever dribbling, while Biele copped the honors for the St. Boniface tossers.

BANK CLERK RESIGNS.

Rensselaer is to lose one of its most popular young ladies, as Marguerite Irwin, who for the past six months has been with the State Bank of this city, has handed that institution her resignation, effective Feb-, ruary 1. Miss Irwin is the daughter of Mrs. J. F. Irwin, of this city. Her father, who is deceased, was for eight years clerk of the circuit court of this county. She is a graduate of the Rensselaer high school. Before accepting the place with the bank Miss Irwin was with her brother, S. C. Irwin, in his law office. In both positions she has shown much ability and her genial disposition has made for her a host of friends who regret that her plans for the future necessitate her leaving this city. Her future arrangements do not contemplate assisting an attorney to win his cases or a bank to loan its money, but she will be interested, it is reported, in making a happy home. The head of that happy home will be a splendid young man, Earl Parsons, of Logansport. In order that there may be splendid team work Miss Irwin will have her name officially changed to Mrs. Earl Parsons. Miss Hazel Reeve, who has been in the John A. Dunlap law office, will succeed Miss Irwin in the State Bank.

NATIVE ARMENIAN.

Rev. William J. Ohan is a native Armenian, was born within a few miles of Mt. Ararat. ' His father was a minister and suffered great persecution at the hands of the Turks. It was his unfortunate lot to have been incarcerated in thirty-five prisons of Turkey, because of his steadfastness to his religion, and as well &s because he was an Ar?, menian. . Dr. Ohan’s sister was a victim of the great massacre of 1898. His mother, his brother and a sister are now in Syria, and through them and out of the fund of his own knowledge and experiences, Rev. Ohan draws tM material for his address which he will deliver at the Christian church Wednesday evening, January 29th. —Campaign Committee.

LEFTY CLARK BACK ON JOB

Our sporting articles, which have been sadly neglected since “Lefty” went to war, will again take a prominent place in the columns of the Republican. When opportunity affords by giving some foundation for a good story, “Lefty” will again duplicate some of his articles similar to “Mollie of the Underworld.” Lefty was very anxious to get back to civil life. He arrived here on the -10:55 a. m. train and at 1:00 p. m. sharp was at his desk m this office pounding his Oliver typewriter in civilian clothes. j It is mighty fine to have the boys back and life seems brighter, the world full of song and all our troubles are over and the boys fr*>m “over there” are over here.

MANY ENJOY HEALTH ADDRESS

The first of two health lectures by Mrs. Louise L. Mclntyre was given last night at the M. E. church to a fair sized audience. The explanation of the simple laws of health and their application were practically demonstrated by the speaker with a chart of the vital organs before her. The importance of right thinking, right eating and correct exercise was emphasized. Attention was called to the fact that while we make great efforts to acquaint ourselves with things outside the body, we are comparatively ignorant of that most wonderful of God’s creations, namely, the human body. Mrs. Mclntyre will organize a class for the study of health laws and the importance of 'her subject should justify a large attendance. Tonight she will speak at the Presbyterian church to women only. —Contributed.
