WITH THOSE 111 ARMY AND NAVY

This column,' containing news of Richmond and Wayne county sot diers and sailors, will appear daily In the Palladium. Contributions sill be welcomed. .. , "Our section was the lucky one of the army of occupation to get to Contents, and enjoy the rare things here," writes Archie L. Bogue of the U. S. A. A. S. Sec. 590. "The Y. M. C. A. is doing its best to entertain us and make us forget that we want to go home. , "Perhaps you have never ; been to Germany but if you ever do come, do not fail to see Coblentz, 'the Gibraltar of the Rhine'. Some of the places of interest around here are ex-kalser's castle, built in the 13th century; the statue of Wilhelm I, tbe Rhine bridge, the place of the Lorelei on the Rhine and other things which I have not yet seen. Henry J.. Snyder has received an honorable discharge from Camp Knox, Ky., and has arrived here. He will resume his position with J. E. Bender company. Corporal Clarence Stephen, member of a company stationed in Italy since last July, which paraded before tbe king of Italy, writes in a letter to the Palladium: "When we finally got to the front the Anstrians were going so- fast we would have had to take motorcycles to catch up with them." "Our unit has been here in Italy since last July, being the first American fighting unit to arrive on Italian soil. We were well received by the people who threw flowers on us and showed their welcome in various ways. "Soon afterward we had the honor of parading before their noble king and were presented with a large and beautiful flag an American flag. "After several weeks of hard drilling and maneuvering we were declared ready to see some action. Part of the regiments were in the trenches awhile and then when the drive started we were ready to go into it. But the Austrians spoiled things by being in such a tremendous hurry. It took us four days of hard marching to catch up with them. We finally did at Taghmento river, and had a little battle with them that started 'em faster than ever. "We were also in an aeroplane raid but none of our men were hurt. "Hoping to be home to the best land of all by early summer, I will close. . "Corporal Clarence Stephen. Co. K, 332 Inf., Am. Ex. F.. Italy, A. P. O. 901C. Earl Walterman of Cambridge City is listed in today's casualties as slightly wounded in action. Mrs. Anna Clark of Foot street, Cambridge City is given as the nearest relative. "Now that the war Is over and a fellow does not have to spend most of his time dodging "whiz bangs" and machine gun bullets, I will try to write you a few minutes to let you know I've survived the shock, or the show as you might say," writes Pvt. Albert Kuhlenbeck, 24th Battalion Headquarters, Intelligence Section of the 69th Infantry, A. E. F. Kuhlenbeck is now with tbe Army of Occupation in Germany. "Believe me this little show we have had over here was some show too. The price of admittance was high too, some fellows paying with their lives In order that they might witness part of the performance. It might please you to know that I am in the great 4th Division that did a good part of the fighting after July 16, 1918." "If you remember it was about this time that the Germans started retreating. That was at Chateau Thierry I was also at St. Mihiel; in the Argonne and over Hill 804, about which you have doubtless read a good deal. The Argonne was the heaviest artillery fire I was in. However, I think there are more pleasant things to write about for instance. ' "I am writing this letter in the finest little town I have ever been in, and about the prettiest spot in Europe. It is only 35 miles from Coblentz and along the Molselle river, in the heart of the wine district. The vineyards on the mountain Bides are certainly lovely. "My light is about finished but I may have time to describe it to you be fore it goes out. It is a milk can cut in two with bacon grease and a piece of rope for a wick. "Private Albert ' Kuhlenbeck. P. S.: Read some copies of the Palladium while in the trenches with bullets whizzing around me." Miss Fisher in Charge of Load V. 5. Labor Bureau Lawrence Handley, who has been head of the United States Labor Bu reau here, has turned the affairs of the bureau over to Miss Mary K Fisher, assistant Handley had resigned to take effect February 1, and had been looking for an official from tbe state office of the federal labor bureau at Indianapolis to name his ssuccessor. Thursday he received instructions to turn the bureau over to Miss Fisher until his successor could be appointed. Police on Lookout for Ford-Load of Whiskey Richmond police Friday were warn ed to look out for a Ford load of whiskey beaded for Indianapolis from Dayton. Four good cheer dispensers left the Ohio city bent on relieving Indiana thirsts about 7:30 o'clock Friday morning. The number of the car is Ohio 83,615.

Three Greatest Battles of Yar . Described by Bryan Stafford

"I and three of the biggest fights we had were face to face with each other, and I assure you I don't want any more of it." says Bryan Stafford in a recent letter to his wife. . Stafford is with the 146th Infantry of the 37th division. "They were the battle of the Marne, battle of Verdun and the battle of the Argonne Forest. . They were the worst things I have ever witnessed. I went four days and nights without anything to eat or drink; slept in shell holes in the rain while the German cannon balls and machine gun bullets fell like hail. , Those were the dark hours. I have seen all the western front and everything is destruction. Flanders is awful. I was up in Belgium for two months in two big battles, 10 miles from Brussels. 1 have seen Italy. Switzerland, France, Germany, Belgium and have been within 30 miles of London, and also visited in Paris. I spent last Sunday, in Dunkirk, Belgium. I went out to the seaside and saw tbe English channel, saw tbe big ships and bow I longed to be sailing to good old U. S. A. It isn't cold over here. We are only eight miles from the North Sea. Sea breezes make it warm. I don't know how long we will be over here, as you know the 37th Division is a shock troop division, so we will have to stick around for some time yet. We have an excellent division and saw some hard fighting. I am wearing my gold service chevron for six months' service at tbe front Hope 1 don't have to wear another one that means six months longer. We are again back in France. Some of the boys think we are going to' Germany. Well, I am lucky to be alive. I have seen the day when I didn't think I would get back and that was Novem ber 10. I never saw as much Hell on earth as there was the day before tbe armistice was signed. I lay for one whole day on my stomach while the Germans used their cannon, machine guns, poisonous gas, and every 1 TTV

war weapon they had. But they couldn't stop us lighting Americans. We advanced rapidly and they are afraid of us boys. You really couldn't blame them, for one battalion of us in one line sure gave them what they deserved. My steel helmet saved my life. A piece of shrapnel as big as your fist hit me on top of the head and gave he a terrible headache. Just imagine going across a f eld ,with a message when they turn loose 7 machine guns on yau and they come so close they make you lay down on the ground while the bullets whiz around your head and tear the ground up all around you. Another experience I had: One night Fritz shot in the barn I was sleeping in and I was buried in the tile from the roof. Another I had while at Verdun. Fritz saw me coming across the battlefield with a message and he took 5 shots at me with his heavy artillery and they buried me in the dirt, and then the dirty cowards took advantage of me and shot me full of gas because 1 was too weak to wear my gas mask. I hope I never have to go through such experiences again. 1 have bad enough. BRYAN.

WANTS NATURAL GAS ORDER TO STAND

The order of the United States fuel administration preventing commercial companies from using the natural gas supplied to Richmond and many other middle western cities during tbe cold weather has done a great deal of good and should not be repealed, In tbe opinion of Nimrod Johnson, who with City Attorney Will Robbing helped to secure the order. T. B. Gregory, head of the national oil and gas administration, has addressed a letter to the Muncle city attorney asking if the order was a good one and should be kept In force, and an emphatic "yes," was returned. ' So far as Richmond is concerned, said Johnson, the order has done unlimited good. While industrial concerns using gas have made many protests, and have entered claims with the national administration that they were being harmed by it to no ones benefit, the order should and doubtless will stand. During the zero weather In January for instance, he said by the use of the large Richmond reservoir the Municipal Light and Power company was able to keep tbe pressure almost normal, while with factories using the gas, the pressure probably would have been so low as to cause inconvenience if not actual suffering. ' While the order causes financial loss to the company, the latter cheerfully assumes it in order to do more good, and it should by no means be repealed, said Johnson. OSCEOLA LODGE MEETS.
