AMERICANS GIVE FRENCH VILLAGE THRILL OF LIFE

Advance Guard of Three Yankee Privates Cheered by People of Occupied Town. (By Associated Press) WITH THE AMERICAN FORCES IN FRANCE. Nov. 6. It was three American privates who gave the French civilians ot the German occupied village of Thlaucourt the greatest thrill of their lives. For four years they had been waiting and then the Americans came. When the three privates an advance guard of swarms of other Americans In their wake swung Into the war-torn village of Thlaucourt not a soul was In the streets. But within a few minutes news spread among the seven hundred civilians that the Americans were there and men and women and children came In droves from cellars where they had been hiding In terror for two days and nights. And from other cellars and dugouts there came six hundred German soldiers who were delighted with the Idea of giving up. The offensive of the first American army, which wiped out the St Mihlel salient, began on a Thursday morning and It was Saturday afternoon when the weary Americans reached Thlaucourt. hungry and fatigued from fast walking in their eagerness to keep pace with the fleeing Germans. As the Americans poured Into the village and the French realized more and more that again Thlaucourt had come Into her own men stood In the streets and cried openly and women sat about on doorsteps and bits of wreckage caused by shells and wept until near exhaustion. And in the confusion the children cheered but even some of them, the older ones, re-

"My stock in trade at present Is 1 U. S. quarter. 1 dime. 1 nickle. 3 U. S. pennies. 1 English penny. 2 ten centime pieces, 1 five centime piece, 1 fifty centime bill, and one English six pence, totaling about 72 cents. Tomorrow is pay day so I should worry," said Corporal Howard Brunner. Co. E. 309th engineers, A. P. O., 905 Am. E. F., In France. "The news we get here is very scanty , he continues, "but there seems to be something of an interesting character going on from what we can gleam from the news that filters in. It seems that the Central Powers are getting all that's coming to them. All Europe is finding out what a fighting nation the U. S. is. In the words of a French officer. I heard translated, "Germany is finding out what a stalwart nation the United States is. The United States saved France." I am glad the efforts of the U. S. are recognized and appreciated. The French people' treat us fine with the exception of the store keepers who are naturally reaching out for the Almighty Franc. A soldier's appetite is a wonderful thing, and he pays well for small things. The boys who can speak enough French to carry on even a small conversation with the people are treated royally. In spite of the fact that I can not speak French I manage to get along all right. I drank some of their wine but from the way it tasted I think I shall stick to water. This is a great wine country. The grapes in vine-

alizing what it all meant, cried too and kissed the hands of the officers and men. Food Taken by Germans. What food they had on hand the French turned over to the Americans, the villagers insisting upon the Americans taking all they wanted of what they had. So in the streets and in the houses, some of them occupied only a few hours previously by German officers and men, the Americans made themselves at home, for a short breathing spell, and the French population of the village endeavored to satisfy the appetites of their deliverers. From the time the Germans reached Thlaucourt in September, 1914, until a few days after the village had been retaken by American troops, the civilians were entirely without fresh meat of any kind excepting now and then a chicken or a rabbit which were raised in cellars without the knowledge of the Germans. All the cattle in the region of Thlaucourt were taken by the Germans, but two cows being left to furnish milk for babies. Until the United States entered the war food was sent to Thlaucourt by way of the Netherlands by the American relief committee and later by a Spanish relief committee. This consisted principally of bacon, flour, sugar, rice, beans, peas and some cocoa. Two boxes of condensed milk were received in Thlaucourt each month and now and then a shipment of salt meat. Twice several boxes of American shoes arrived for the inhabitants and at long intervals there were small shipments of clothing. During the four years' occupation by the Germans none of the civilians was allowed to leave the town. However, on one or two occasions individuals were permitted to visit a nearby village to attend the funeral of relatives, accompanied by a soldier guard.

yards covering the hills here are ripe, and the people are making wine." I "There are several German prisoners here where I am stationed and they all seem to be real well satisfied to be where they are. Why shouldn't they be. they are getting better food and more of it than they have had in four years, and have regular working hours," says Sergeant Vernon Hobbs, of 12th Company, 4th Mechanic Regiment American Air Service in a letter to the Palladium. "I heard a story when I, first arrived over here, he continues, "that one prisoner escaped and was gone for several days, and when he returned suddenly he had two of his friends with him. Many of them say they are going to America when the war is over for me, we can get along without them very well. "I am sure the American people are over-joyed at the war news of the last few weeks, and it's getting better all -the time. (But not for the Kaiser and his disciplined army.)" Mrs. Hannah Schlenker has received word that her son, Russell Schlenker has arrived safely overseas. "Nearly all the houses In this town are over a hundred years old, most of them made of stone and still in good shape," writes Private Harry M. Marshall, now In France with the 8th Field Artillery, in a letter to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Marshall, of Cambridge City. "The people here still wear wooden shoes and sound like a horse as they clatter down the street. - "I do not think the war will last much longer," he says, "for we are sure making the Germans fall backSome will be back in six months, I believe." Mr. and Mrs. Caleb Duke have received a letter from Mahlon Dalzelle, who is now In France. He said that he was on his way back from the front to a rest camp. Mrs. Ankor Leistner of Philomath, has a letter from her son, Frank Leistner, saying that he has been laid up in a hospital since his arrival in France, and has not yet been able to go to the front "We have captured quite a few German prisoners In the last few days and they seem to all be about starved. I guess the only thing they have is nlpntv f rnnHes " cava Waeoner Jesse

O Hoover, In a recent letter. "The. old dugouts of the Huns are alive with i cooties."

"We have been on the front ever since September 25," he writes on October 11, "and God only knows when we will be relieved, as it seems like the old 4th Division is the only one that can keep them stepping. " "This sure is some country. Nothing but shell holes and barbed wire entanglements. There are no trees at all. We have it hard taking up the ammunition, for they can see us - for miles and it seems as if they turn all their artillery and machine guns on us. We thought it was tough when we were on the Vesle river and at Fismes, but this is a lot worse. "Water is very scarce here. It Is almost Impossible to find any to even wash in and we haul drinking water 15 kilometers. It is cold now and we have had two little snows already. We are hoping It will end before winter."

In a recent issue of the Leatherneck, a weekly paper published by marines at Quantico, Va., an article is written about a new post exchange building which has been erected. Corporal Howard J. Steinkamp of this city is in charge of the new exchange, the story says, and has eight assistants. " Mrs. Margaret Doner of North C street has received word that Harry B. Cartwrlght has landed safely overseas. Cartwright is with the engineer's eorps.

Mrs. William McFarland of Greensfork is in receipt of a letter from her son, Edward McFarland, who is now in France, in which he says he has been wounded. "It happened on the Chateau Thierry front," he says, "but I am about all right again. "Every one in my company Is like a brother to every one else. We aro on reserve now, and have electric light, good places to sleep, etc. "Mall certainly does us a lot of good and I am hoping to hear from home again soon." Private Harry S. Rush has written a letter to his sister. Miss Elizabeth Rush of Cambridge City, from an American hospital in France, saying he is recuperating from a gas attack, encountered the first of October. Rush says he is improving nicely and expects to be out soon. The hospital where he is located in in charge of Indianapolis persons, the letter states. Rash is with the headquarters company, 18th U. S. Infantry, A. E. F.

IS EVERYBODY USING TONSILINE! The Spanish influenza epidemic has meant a wonderful Increase In the sale of Tonsiline The National Sore Throat Remedy. The moment ' medical authorities advised frequent use of an effective gargle to sterilize the throat, which these deadly germs must use as a gateway and breeding ground in entering the body, countless families went to their medicine shelf or sent to the nearest druggist for a bottle of Tonsiline. Also, the majority of those afflicted with this dreaded malady found themselves suffering from decidedly sore throats and many of them have renewed their faith in this time tried remedy.
