LOCAL SOLDIER VISITS BASE OF BIG GERMAN GUN

"Wherever there is action, that is where we are," writes Fred Hugo, nerving with an artillery company in the Rainbow division, in a letter to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Hugo, 300 North Seventh street. Hugo tells of visiting the emplacement of the big German gun that bombarded Paris. His letter follows: "First of all I am very well and living fine, although open warfare is far from comfortable. I had read about trenches and trench warfare, Just about enough to believe we would never use our little tents that we carry on our backs. But the last month we have become acquainted with what we call pupping it. If necessary we can drive into a, woods, pitch camp and Bet up an office in no time at all. The only bad feature at all is the rain and the mud. Strange to say, however, I have had no colds nor have I had any eigns of hay fever. "We are well fed, eomewhat luckier than the doughboys, who sometimes go bo fast that they get out of reach of thejr cooks and ration carts. "If anyone happens to ask you, tell them that our regiment has been in the thick of it. And I am proud of the fact that I belong to it. The band is playing up on the hill tonight. And they are playing good. We have the best band in the division and the best army band we have ever heard. I wish you were here to hear It. But if you wait a few days we will march around the circle for you. If you want to know where our division is just read where there is action and we are there. Every man takes a mighty pride in telling that he belongs to , division. "We are anticipating a trip to Paris 'pome time. Do you suppose I will find Borne of my great uncles or aunts there? "Last night I went over to Bee a little bit of the evidence of Germany's well calculated plans to take Paris. It was the base of the big gun .that was shelling Paris. The base was a turn table about forty feet in diameter set on 106 ball bearings. The tube and carriage runs on the table from standard gauge tracks and lowered onto a table. The projectile is about 15 inches In diameter. The gtra shoots about 70 miles with a muzzle velocity of 6.000 feet per second. The ball bearings are about 12 inches.

UMBRELLA BARRAGE , GREETS BASEBALL MEN AT BOSTON

BOSTON1, Mass., Sept. 9. When the Chicago and Boston world's series battlers arlved in the City of Culture Sunday evening they were greted by a large flock of fans and a barrage of umbrellas, as the rain was coming down fast and there was more gloom than cher about the station. The athletes retired early so as to be up bright and peppery Mortday morning for practice. The betting Sunday night Is 2 to 1 that the Sox will win the series, with very few takers. Boston fans are full of confidence, while the Cub partisans seem to have given up all hope. The Red Sox team is not as strong as tho one which won the title several years ago, but it i3 a strong home team and has lost only a small number of games this year on their native heath. Tho games will be played at Fenway Tark, which will be quite large nough in every respect to shelter the 'crowd. Tbo great influx of out-oWoor fans in previous years will not be repated, as thousands of the loyal New England devotees of the game have gone to war.

"Just a Little Hard Luck" Writes Harold N orris of Wounds

Harold Norris has written his mother, Mrs. Lulu Myers, not to worry about his reported wounds, as they are not serious. It was only a little hard luck, he says. Ills letter follows: "When you receive this letter, don't get scared, for it is only a little hard luck I've had. I was wounded in action Aug. 8, 1918. "I was laying, repairing rather, a telephone wire to an. open Infantry observation out-post which: was used by the artillery. All at once the Germans sent over a barrage from their big guns. There I was in an open field, and although I ran for the nearest battery dugout (which was nothing but an open hole in the ground) a shell broke pretty close and a fragment took me in the shoulder. But I got to the dugout and lived safely through the next thirty minutes, the longest and worst I've ever seen.

We went over the top in the morning and we made the Dutch fly. I will tell you more when I come home. "Tell that I saw some of the kaiser's Dutch. When I went over the, top I was not afraid of getting killed, all I thought of was the d Dutch that I wanted to get, and we did too.

Don't worry anything about it, and don't worry if my name appears in the casualty list, for I have told you all' I can. "I certainly received a lot of letters while at the front. One mail I received 32 letters. Think of that. You certainly did' a good job of telling people to write to me. How is everything at home? I received the papers all O.
