WITH THOSE IN ARMY AND NAVY

This column, containing news ot Richmond and Wayne county soldiers and sailors, will appear dally In the Palladium. Contribution will be welcomed. A. O. Jordan has been honorably discharged from Camp Zachary Taylor and has arrived home. , "This is an interesting country, but I won't trade all Germany for Wayne country." writes Corporal E. M. Pollard of Co. C, 3rd division Supply with the army of occupation in Germany. In a letter to the Palladium he says: "We were in a little town named Bricon in the province of Haute Marne until May 29, when we were ordered into action with our division near Chateau Thierry. We were there when everything happened, and there were some rather exciting things happened. We were also in the St. Mihiel drive, and last and hardest of all, in the Argonne forest-Meuse drive. We have had all kinds of weather, but I can't complain because the ambulance drivers had a tougher time than we j fellows. Roads where there were no j roads, and with three or four lines of traffic, mingling of infantry, etc., and all this while we tried to keep in touch with the company convoy with out lights, .were some of the many things we experienced. "That is all I have to say about the war, but I want to say to the people of Wayne county, see American scenery first. -Nothing will outclass the Rocky Mountains of the Mississippi valley. "I hope to hear from you all soon as I do not hope to have the privilege of being in the States very soon. Miss Ruby Moore has received the following letter from Captain C. M. Colignan, surgeon M. G. Battalion, in regard to the death of her brother, Sergeant Ralph Moore. Sergeant Moore was killed in action in France and word of his death was received by his parents on the . morning of November 11 soon, after the news of peace reached the country. Captain Colignan says: "In answer to your letter concerning your brother's death, I can give the following information. " Ralph was killed instantly in our first day's hattie in the Argonne forest. Our troops were advancing at the time under Tire from several German machine gun nests. While going from one. shell hole to another to give aid to a wounded man he. was shot, directly through the head and died inslantly. Ho was given a good burial with a number of men who fell that day, and his grave lies at the side of the main highway that leads into the village of Romagne, France. "His death is a great loss to us not only as a soldier but as a man. There u y u u u u u u u b i

is not a man in this battalion who did not respect Sergeant Moore. "Kindly accept my sympathy in the loss of your , brother. . "Captain C. M. CoUgnan." "All they raise over here is wheat and turnips. The turnips are as big as pumpkins," wrote Private Homer Breece, who is now stationed at Ellenhausen, Germany. He writes that he is well and comfortably housed. "Have electric lights in their barns here," he said.

Corporal Charles T. Gallegher, quartermaster's detachment, Columbus, O. spent Sunday with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles T, Gallagher, Sr. of this city. NO REDUCTION IN PRICE OF LINENS ' The linen manufacturers of Belfast, Ireland, in reseponse to the inquiries of Richmond merchants concerning the probable price of linens for this year have sent the following statements: "During practically the whole of the year 1918 the use of linen yarns of all classes required for the ordinary range of goods was prohibited by the government except for goods intended for purposes of National Defense. As a consequence stocks of all made linen goods have diminished steadily. The -flax crop of 1917. was used for government purposes. Now that flax yarns and cloths are again released for civil trade, the only supplies available are those coming from the flax crop of 1918. . This crop represents a higher average of cost than the 1917 crop, and goods from it will therefore cost more than anything the. merchants and consumers have, been asked to pay. As regards quantity the total visible supplies of flax are much below the. requirements for a normal year's consumption. In addition, the enormously enhanced cost of production' and recent heavy advances in wages materially affect the situation. Supplies at reduced prices cannot be available at the soonest before the end of 1919." Seaney Named Head of Tuberculosis Society W. O. Seaney, ex-county commissioner, was Saturday appointed manager of the tuberculosis hospital farm and a member of the board of managers of the institution. The county commissioners took no action on the proposal to turn over the collection of delinquent taxes to the tax collectors now operating in the county.

BOARD AND Continued From Paae OneJ poll tax receipts and pass a literacy test before voting will come up for second reading at 2 o'clock Tuesday afternoon. A fight is expected on this amendment. Road Legislation. Highway legislation also will receive attention ot the legislators. The senate bill will be reported out of the committee probably Wednesday with a few minor amendments. Senator Duffy said that there is some dissention in the house committee, however, and the provision that automobile taxes be turned over to the highway commission probably will be stricken out at the instigation of Chairman Buller and Representative Miller. To make up for the deficit thus made in the funds believed to be required for the operation ot the law, it would be ; necessary to make a heavier tax levy j probably two mills, Senator Duffy said. With these changes the bill ' probably will be placed on the floor cf the house Tuesday, accompanied by a minority report for indefinite postponement. There may be a minority report ; from the senate committee early in the week, signed by Senator Nejdl, according to indication last Saturday. in U. S.

Sea tor English of Indianapolis Introduced them. : ' - , Political differences In the senate are expected to be voiced frequently, as the administration legislating pending is opposed generally by the minority and a few memebers of the majority.
