"Some of the fellows were a little nervous at first," he explained, "but there were no cowards. The boys worked like slaves. In our artillery every man had his part to do and did it. Why, at Mount Faucon, a placa the French had been trying to capture for four years, and had said it never could be done, our boys began their attack at 11 o'clock at night and had it cleaned up by 6 o'clock the next morning. With caps and coats thrown away, and strjpped to the waist, our boys swore and sweated and shot un

In describing the action he saw Cor poral Bone said: "We were o-'ered to the front in July and went .t at Chateau Thierry. When we entered our lines it was a wheat field. The Germans were etill driving toward Paris and we had to retreat from the field next morning. Here I got my first glimpse of the awfulness of war as I lost my pal, one of my very beBt friends. He had both legs torn off with shell. "All next day we lay in little oneman pits with heavy artillery firing " on us. That night we got our position

in line In the Thirty-first Brigade with Colonel Burgess commanding. W started our barrage on Chateau Thierry on July 18 and here we first began to -turn them back. "After we got the Germans out of Chateau Thierry, which took us a little more than two weeks, our drive ended at Fare de Tardenoia. In the meantime our artillery had cnught up with our doughboys, who had been chasing the Germans so fat that we could not keep up with them, and here we began the second battle of the Marne. This battle was not so fierce as Chateau Thierry, but lasted three weeks. We were on te front all the time and were never relieved from the second battle of the Marne until the Argonne. We lost about twentyfive percent of the men in cur regiment. Wrlted Is Wounded "The Argonne was the hardest battle we were in. I was wounded by shrapnel one piece struck in the leir and another hit me in the shoulder, about 6 o'clock in the evening when three of us were on scout duty. We were lying in a shell hole and an Austrian 'S burst about fifty feet above our heads, f!rily raining shrapnel on us. One other man of the three was also wounded. We had been ahead of our position trying to And the location of a German sacrifice gun, which we found to be located in a dugout with the muzzle sticking out the side nd camouflaged with brush. When the gun was fired the concussion wiggled the limbs of the nearby trees and In that way we located it. We were nil three able to crawl back to our commander and give him our data. That was the last of the sacrifice gun: our boys soon had a line on it and knocked it to smithereens with direct hits. It was work like this by our boys everywhere that won our battles. Out of Lines Three Weeks "I was only outjif the ranks threa weeks, having been sent to the evacuation hospital at Verdun, and not on back. . "When I rejoined my regiment they vsere at Dunseupe on the Meuse river. Here the Americans , were killed by actual thousands

From then on the Germans did not make much of a stand until they got to their border. Armistice Gave Them Rest "Wv drove right on and were in Belgium, still driving them when the armistice was signed. "The only thing the Germans beat us on was in celebrating the armistice nothing like it ever happened before or since. They shot up their own ammunition dumps and the next day they showed us their mines and wo shot them up. The second day after tho signing of the armistice they began to retreat and we saw no more of the Germans. "The most pitiable scene I ever witnessed was at the hour the armistice was signed when our dead, boys killed In the last few minutes of the war. were lying all about us. To think that they had found their way through hell to the very last minute, and then had to die In the moment of victory." Corporal Bone explained that he made a Ftudy of '.Tooties." "We had the everyday American body louse, then the real French cooties, and last and worse, the German flea. He actually had service stripes down hts back. ' The French cooties seemed to have a thousand legs. We had them until we got back to Camp Mills and were properly steamed," he explained. , "The queen's children," is the name given to little Belgian refugees who have been separated from their families and scattered over Belgium and France, and whom Queen Elizabeth ia trying to gather into a children's colon v to M educated if their parents can not be located.

The war has united and made happy one family instead of separating it. Andrew Hunsacker of Cincinnati, Ohio, has just found his son, John, who had been missing for seventeen years, and a week later he found his daughter, LOCAL SEAMAN IN EXCITING V0YA6E ACROSS ATLANTIC Chief Yeoman F. E. Glass, who i3 now located at 13th regiment headquarters, Great Lakes Naval Training Station, is spending a furlough here. Glass until recently was stationed on the U. S. S. Munwood which traveled between the United States and France. Glass gives the following account of one of the trips across: "There was real adventure in one 84-day round trip voyage of the Munwood. "The steamer left Baltimore for Franco with 4,000 tons of general cargo. On the second day out Lieut. P. A. Peterson, of New York, was accidentally shot by another member of the crew. He died December 4 end was buried at sea. Portuguese Ship in Trouble "December 4, when 300 miles off the coast of Newfoundland, tho Portuguese steamship Goa, a 10,000 ton vessel, was sighted wallowing In the sea. Investigation proved that the machinery of the vessel had been strained and disabled, due to extremely heavy weather. The stumer had as passengers the members of a Portuguese mission to the United States. "The Munwood stood by the stricken vessel for three days and made three unsuccessful attempts to take her in tow. All three lines parted. A fourth held and the United States steamer and its tow started for the Bermudas. Gasoline Drums Start Leaking "Before port was reached leakage started in some 1,200 drums of gasoline stored in the forward holds. The fumes from thio filled the ship and orders were issued not to make a light, of any kind. No food was cooked and the fireroom , crew were practically "Bermuda was reached, the Goa was placed in a pier and the gasoline tank3 were shifted to the stern, so the gas fumes would keep behind the vessel. "On January 7, while passing the Azores the Munwood ran into a hurricane and for 10 hours it seemed as if she must flounder. Waves broke over the vessel continuously and carried away all the lifeboats and part of the rigging. Two automobile trucks stored on the top deck were picked up and thrown atop each other with such force that both were practically demolished. Danger from Shrapnel Cargo "The Munwood, after having delivered her cargo, loaded 1,500 tons of shrapnel in cases. On the home voyage four separate storms were encountered and some of the cases of shrapnel which had been loaded on deck were washed back and forth against the deckhouses. Seamen and officers risked their lives and wrestled With the shrapnel to prevent the shells from exploding. "The vessel weathered these storms however, without serious mishap and f.rrived in Baltimore safely." 8 Percent Passenger Fare Tax in Effect Tuesday Richmond people who want to travel will have to pay more than ever for the privilege beginning next Tuesday. On that day new federal taxes of 8 per cent go into effect on passenger and Pullman fares. Freight rates are taxed 3 per cent, 5 per cent is assessed on express charges, and taxes of 5 cents go intj effect on all telephone calls on which charges are between 15 and 20 cents, and of 10 cents when the charge is more than E0 cents. Many club and lodge members will find their dues costing them $1 or more a year in excess of last year, as all lodge or club dues above $10 a year are taxed at 10 per cent. Brokers of flieatre tickets have to pay a much heavier toll to the federal government, and cabaret habitues also will pay more than ever for their amusement. Neither of these taxes affect Richmond, however.

A Red Cross worker is here seen lighting the cigar of one of the wounded men through a window of the first trans-continental hospital train. This hospital train left New York city recently en route for the Pacific Coast. Four or five of these trains leave the various railroad terminals at the ports of embarkation every day. They'have been sent out by the medical department cf the U. S. army. The idea is to send the wounded men into their home towns and distribute the wounded soldiers throughout the entire country. The trains can accommodate some 300 soldiers and they have all the comforts they would have in a regular hospital, surgeon is in attendance in each car. Two Red Cross atndants accompai.. each train and remain there distributing cigars, .cigarettes, magazines and newspapers to the boys. The Red Cross workers work in shifts, that is they ride for a day or so and are relieved at various cities by others.

Governor's Message to Legislature Pointed Out Difficulty in Discharges. The total number of men furnished by Indiana from the beginning of the Civil war until January 1, 1865, was given as 165,314, in a report submitted by Governor Oliver P. Morton in a message to the general assembly of the state on January 7, 1865. The report is given in full in an old paper preserved by Mrs. L. 'A. Hiatt of 225 North Fourth street, whose son is now serving with the American Expeditions ry, Forces in .France In his message, the governor said: "There is a peculiar hardship existing in regard to the recruits of . 1862 for the old regiments. They undoubtedly enlisted upon the. understanding that they were to be mustered out along with the regiments into which they went, and would not be held three years from the time of their enlistment. This understanding was participated in by the recruiting officers, the general mustering officers stationed here by the government, and by the state authorities. When the timo came for mustering out their regiments they demanded their discharge which was refused. I presented the matter to the secretary of war, who declined to act on it on the ground that the former muster roll which they had signed showed that they had entered the service for a period of three years, and left him no discretion to act in their behalf. This was true, but nevertheless the understanding existed in full force, as the statement in the muster roll was explained by the mustering officer as a mere technical necessity. I afterwards addressed a memorial on the subject to congress, stating all the facts, and inviting them to take action for the relief of these men, but they failed to do so at the time. I present the matter for your consideration, trusting that you will see fit to lay it before congress. Officers Responsible. "The duty of commissioned officers to command our regiments is full of responsibility. I have commissioned many whom I did not know, and for whose fitness I was compelled to rely upon the opinion of others, but it affords me great pleasure to state that Indiana officers as a body have been found equal to those of any other state; that they have upon every battle field sustained the great cause; and shed lustre upon the flag under which they fought." Speaking in regard to the relief and support of families of soldiers, Governor Morton said: "I invite your immediate attention to the necessity of making an appropriation for the relief and support of the families of bur soldiers. It is too well Understood to require argument or statement, that the monthly pay

which they receive, especially after deducting that part which their own wants in the field absolutely require them to expend, is wholly insufficient for the support of their families at this period of high prices. The duty resting upon the peole of the state to provide support and prevent suffering and destitution among these cases is also too clear for argument and needs only to be presented to command general assent. Gives Hannaman Report. "I have thought proper to lay before you the report cf Dr. Hannaman, president, and Alfred Harrison, treasurer, of the Indiana State Sanitary Commission. Since its formal organization on March 3, 1862, it has received contributions in money to the amount of $155,796.45 and supplies for the army valued at $313,605.65, making n aggregate sum of $469,402.11. "This commission has been instrumental in preserving many l'ves and relieving untold suffering and distress. It has received no support from the fairs held in the large cities from which large sums have been realized, but has been sustained by a system of collections and voluntary contributions on the part of the people. He greatly praised the work of Dr. Hannaman, explaining Hannaman has abandoned his business and given his "timo and labor to the groat work of relief to the sick and wounded sol-, diers without reward or hope of it."

Frame of Screen Before Covering; Finished Product Fitted with ; Sewing Necessaries.

SUPPLIES ALL AT HAND MAKE NEEDLEWORK A JOY

Eliminate the "Find the Thimble' Game When You Start to Sew by Using a Screen Where Everything is in Readiness for Work Directions for Making One. ' '

WTien the average woman starts to sew she usually finds she has left her thimble in the kitchen, that the children took the shears to cut out paper dolls, or that if she wants white thread, black Is the only color she can locate. By the time the necessary supplies are collected her zest for the task has departed. Perhaps she does own a sewing basket, but here everything is in a jumble. Spools of thread in a basket have a maddening habit of unwinding' and tangling together, while to thrust the 3nd incautiously into a sewing basket is to invite a stab from a stray needle. On a sewing screen everything has a place and it is easy to keep everything in its place. Any peton apt with tools can make such a screen by following these directions from the United States Department cf Agriculture: The sewing screen illustrated consists of two panels 28 inches hig'i and 1314 inches wide, made of 1-inch by 2-inch plank. These may be folded together and each panel is covered w ith burlap. The pockets are fastened to the bottom of each panel on the inside, and hooks are placed on the bottom of the crosspiece to hold the necessary equipment. Pegs or nails are driven into the top of one of the crosspieces. The drop shelf makes a good work table, and the groove In the top of the crosspieces will hold buttons. This folding sewing screen is light in weight, requires little space and can be easily carried to the porch or lawn for sewing work. - Materials for Building Screen The following material is required for a screen: 10 feet of lumber 1 by 1V2 Inches. 6 1-inch (butt) hinges with screws to be used in joining the panels and fastening the drop shelf to the crosspieces. 1 handle with screws for the top of screen. 1 hook and eye to fasten the panels when they are folded and closed. 2 yards of burlap, denim, or canvas, 18 inches wide. 1 dozen brass cup hooks. 1 yard cretonne for pockets. 1 yard -inch elastic for top of 1 ockets. 4 dozen upholstering tacks for tacking on burlap. Sandpaper and stain. Care should be taken to choose good colors in materials for pockets and outside covering. The colors in the cloth should harmonize with the color of the stain used for the wood. Good dyes and wood stains often can be made from . nut hulls, roots, berries, and bark of trees. The cloth, not being the same texture, will take the dye in a little different shade of the same color than the woodwork if the identifical barks or shells are used for making the stain for the frame. How to Make Wood Stain. To make.a good brown stain for the frame, cover 3 pints of bruised green walnut hulls with 3 pints of water and allow to stand for 12 hours. Strain through a double cheesecloth of potash. This stain may be made in larger quantities and used for floor stain. It gives a rich brown floor finish. If a semi-waxy appearance is desired, 1 quart of paraffin oil can be added. This is on the market at a reasonable price. Advertising

Supply Suggestions. The following supplies are convenient to have at hand In the screen before beginning to sew: Needles of good make and assorted sizes. Sizes 7, 8, 9 and 10 are most used. Thread also of good make and assorted sizes. A spool each of Ncs. 51. 70 and 100, and basting thread should be on hand. A plain, substantial thimble. Celluloid or aluminum makes a good. Inexpensive thimble; a brass one is not desirable, because it fhay stain your thimble finger if it gets moist wtth perspiration, and may poison you if there is a sore place on your finder. A pair of sharp shears, with blades about 5 inches long, for cutting cloth. -A pair of small,, sharp scissors with good points, for cutting threads, removing bastings, etc. An abundance cf medium-sized, sharp-pointed pins. Fine pins are easier to use than coarse ones. A small pincushion, a tape measure. a few pieces of cardboard to use as ! gauges, a pencil, and an emery ba for polishing needles and smoothins them when they become sticky. GRK NOT RESUMED IN PENNSY YARDS Although persistent reports have been circulated during the last few days to the effect that work has been resumed at the Pennsylvania railroad yards east of the city, S.
