WITH THOSE IN ARMY AND NAVY

This column, containing news of Richmond and Wayne county soldiers and sailors, will appear dally In the Palladium. Contributions will be welcomed. "By the light of my one candle power candle I am going to write you a letter which I should have written some time ago. But since I have landed in France have been the busiest man you ever saw," begins CapL Walter J. Fishering in a recent letter. Cap tain Fishering is a graduate of the Ft. Wayne high school and spent two years in Earlham college. "In the first place I received my notice of my promotion to captain on Oct. 21 with rank as such from August 23. The promotions of officers in our regiment were announced in the States shortly after we embarked on Sept. 8, and we didn't receive notice until Oct. 21. Well, as soon as I received my promotion I asked the colonel for a company, and was soon given command of G. company where there was a vacancy. I had grown very tired of my staff job in the regiment, as personal adjutant. Ever since I took command of the company we have been on the go. The regiment is all split up and is operating in companies, wherever needed. "A week ago last Sunday a crurler from the 2d division headquarters got me out of bed at 2 a. m. with orders to proceed with my company to place fifteen miles from where we were stationed, in order to mobilize with other troops for a big smash, providing the armistice was not sign ed. We immediately broke camp and started out with two days emergency rations (hard tack) and beat for the mobilization center. Thank God the armistice was signed, and the big drive called off. The Huns certainly suffered from one of the worst bar rages I ever saw right up to last min ute, of the time set to cease firing and exactly at the appointed time ev erything was absolutely quiet. We can hardly get used to the quiet that reigns after being continuously near the roar of the guns. "After the firing stopped I was or dered to take my company to another station twenty-two miles from where we were, so we drew two more days rations of hard tack and were on the march about a day and a half, when we reached the place where we are now stationed. I have my whole com pany nicely billeted in an old German barrack. I have a nice shanty for my self, and a good German stove. It is snowing now and we are all thinking of how we are situated in comparison to what might have been if the war were not over. "None of our regiment have been over the top but we have been under Austrian and German fire and couldn't fire back and that is bad enough. Those Austrian 88's surely tore up the earth. A few of my men will get wound chevrons but not many. "Forgot to tell you that I have been operating In the Verdun sector ever since arriving here. "Yesterday (Sunday) my men prowl ed around these woods and , brought back a whole wagon load of German helmets, rifles, bayonets and the like. Whenever one of them would come back with two he would chase up to my quarters with one for me. If would attempt to bring home all the souvenirs and relics I would like to bring I would have to charter a ship And all I want is a berth, and right soon for I am anxious to get back. I have seen enough, although I'm mightly glad that I got to come over. "I hear a lot of wrangling among my men down in the woods, will have to take my 45 and a flash light and see what's up. "Returned a crap game wasn't go ing just right. My. men got paid yes terday first time in two months, and the money is changing hands. They got pal din French money and the squabble started over the question of whether a certain piece of paper money was worth 50 francs or 100 francs. I settled the matter for them and broke up the game. ' "The bugler is trying his best to blow "Call to Quarters," and it sounds like he was holding the bugle with a frozen hand, with the other shoved down in the horn, and at the same time choking to death. "Here's hoping that the . "big hearted" American people will not get too sympathetic with the 'poor starving Germans.' If they .would leave it to the armies in the field over here, the Hun would continue to starve." "Thirty-five hundred miles from home, and we dressed for reveille this morning while the band played "Home Sweet Home" writes Serg. J. Grant Fry, in a Father's Day letter to his i father, Frank Fry, 1216 South B street. "It won't be long till we will .be in that place," he adds. "This is Dad's letter day, and the restrictions are ; off, so we can tell you where we are. have been and what we are doing. It sure seems funny to be able to write a free letter. "Just to give you a brief outline. We left New York Sept. 9, and landed in Glasgow, Scotland Sept. 21, Friday. We left on Saturday taking the train for Winchester, England.

QUESTIONNAIRES TO BE KEPT FOR RECORD

WASHINGTON, Dec. 19. All quea tlonnaires, which have been filled oul and returned to local draft boards are to be kept as historical records la War Department vaults here. ! ; Chief among the uses to which the will be put, are: In connection with other data, tc aid war 'risk Insurance, bureau v Is checking up on soldiers due to : r ceive allotments for injury or service To provide a record for men eligible to enter organizations similar to the G. A. R.,. which will undoubtedly b formed after all the soldiers have re turned home. Repors have been circulated thai information gained through the filling out of questionnaires weuld be used to public advantage. This would be impossible, it was said at the provost marshil general'! office, because the records are to b sealed and only opened at the request of the person whose record is in question. coast, and all through Scotland. Landed in camp at Winchester, - stayed there two days, took a boat from Southampton, arrived In Havre, France, next morning, stayed in camp there until night then entrained for parts ' unknown. After three days' travel in 2 by 4 box cars, packed forty deep, we finally arrived in the small town of St. Germaine, which is about sixty miles east of Bordeaux. We stuck around there in billets which were 150 years old, and had a workout such as this outfit had never seen before. Finally we were on our way again, and thought it was to the front. But Instead we landed at Montoir, a small town about four miles from St. Nazaire, a seaport town. And here we are. We did some railroad construe tion, and also some road repairing, still doing some of the latter. Most of us are doing squads east and homeward since the armistice. "We are living in squad tents here, also tad to put up our own tent. "Now we are all looking forward to the time for us to go overseas again, this time to the Statue of Liberty face to face and never to leave it again. The Whitewater will be big enough tor' me to cross for the next war. "This morning we are going to pass In. review. I suppose when we get back to the States we'll have to parade some place. But I guess that will be the most enjoyable parading wo ever did.. "The mail has been coming in in good shape. Before the war ended we had not v been having very good weather, but since then it has been fine. Pretty cold in the mornings with some ice.
