WITH THOSE IN ARMY AND NAVY

This column, containing news of Richmond and Wayne county soldiers and sailors, will appear daily in the Palladium. Contribution irlll be welcomed.

Telling of his travels to his present location at Neuilly L'Eveque, France, Sergeant Benjamin Jones writes in a letter received by relatives here: "I left the States September 8th, sailing from New rYork. I was put In charge of the mess while we were on board. This kept me pretty busy and I didn't have time to get sea sick. "Five or six days out we sighted two submarines. One of them was ?unk, the other escaped. This caused some excitement, but everything went on smoothly after that for a few days when we got in a net of submarines and had to turn out a hundred miles to get around them. "Landed at Brest, France on September 22, and marched two miles to camp. We stayed there two nights; then boarded a train and rode across France to within sixty miles of the firing line. We could hear the big guns, and particularly the big one that bombarded Paris. Saw several battles in the air. "One night we received orders to be ready to go to the front. The next day we slung packs and marched on the train which was to take us up to the front. Then when we were almost there they stopped the train and told us it was all over but the shouting. After that we went to a hospital camp and stayed there three or four weeks. We have moved twice since then and are now patiently waiting to come home."

Corporal Chester V. Davis, Company E, Sixth Infantry, American Soldier No. 732421. next of kin, Mrs. Rosa Davis, of Tennyson, Indiana, while in action near Brieulles, France, November 4, 1918, volunteered to carry a message to the battalion commander, telling him that the American barrage was falling short. Crossing a valley, swept by shell and machine gun fire, he swam the icy Meuse river and succeeded in delivering his message in time to prevent further cas

ualties. For this heroism he was decorated with a distinguished service cross by General Pershing. No

money can adequately reward such

herosim. But money can pay the cost of the operation and that is why every red-blooded American should buy

Victory bonds.

A distinguished service cross was

awarded by General Pershing, com

mander of the American army in Europe, to Private Dwight Lemon,

Company B, 31th Machine uun uat talion. (A. S. No. 3107539). For ex

traordinary heroism in action near

Verdun. France, isovember , iais,

When his comrades, many of whom were wounded, were suffering for want

of water, Private Lemon took their

canteens and went 200 meters to tne rear under heavy artillery and machine gun fire, where he filled the canteens at a spring and returned through the intense fire under direct observation of machine gunners and snipers. Homo address. Mrs. Thressie D. Lemon,

mother, Linton, Ind.

No one would think of attempting

! to pay in dollars and cents the equlvai lent of Private Lemon's heroic coni duct. But who can resist the oppor

tunity to display an interest in the

cause, when it is to their advantage to do so? Buy Victory bonds and

share in Private Lemon's triumph:

Read how a Hoosier from a peace

ful Quaker community won honors and a distinguished service cross from the hands of General Pershing, then buy

Victory bonds to prove that you be

lieved that it was well worth all it

cost!

"We are still getting patients from Germany, and I can't possibly see how we can get back to God's country before next fall, so I suppose Cully Morgan and I will be the lust three Richmond boys, to get home," says Leltoy F. Harding of Base Hospital No. 82, with the American forces still in France. "But Cully is very optimistic; he says we will be on our way within the next three months. I can't see it that way, but I hope he is right." observes Harding. "Has any one heard from Walt Casky lately? I wrote to him and Ben Host some time in January, but have not received a reply. "Last night I saw Earl Craddock, the world's champion wrestler at Toul. Ho won all three falls, tho first one being with a body scissors in two and a half minutes. "Cully and I now have a room to ourselves. It is about nine feet square; has two iron beds with sheets, pillows and everything; a stove, a table end electric light. Every night we go to our room And talk over the things at home. We have both put in for a pass to Paris, and expect it some time next month. "Last week I sent you a box containing all the souvenirs I had left. Let me know if they got there all right." "Outside of thoughts of home there is nothing to' do but wait for mail.

Covenant Unchristian, Says Verlon Ballinger Discussion of "World Brotherhood," was the subject of much lively debating at a mass meeting of all Young People's societies of Richmond at

First Methodist church Sunday even

ing. Verlon T. Ballinger opened the discussion, declaring that the purpose of a world brotherhood was to aid as much as possible every brother on the streets regardless of crime he may committed. He branded the League of Nations as an un-Christian covenant because of the alleged "dirty politics' entering into it.

After Ballenger's talk, the discus

sion was thrown open. The Rev. J

F. Propst of Fourteenth Street Mis

sion defined the true brother. Roy

Babylon said that the world brother

hood should commence at home and

should not, at present, include any world movement. Babylon was followed by Marvin Pickett, who advo

cated that the means to true brother

hood was for everyone to do what he

thought was right.

The Rev. Shelby Lee of the Baptist

church closed the discussion, present

ing Christ's life as a true example of brotherhood. He said there are three fundamental principles, as shown by

the life of Jesus; first, faith in God;

second, faith in man, and third, min

istering the truths of Christ.

Several other speakers voiced their

sentiments on the subject. It was in

timated that some phases of this subject would be taken up at a meeting

Monday night of the Young People's

congress, meeting at the West Rich

mond Friends' church.

GERMAN ENGINEER HID IN AUSTRALIAN JUNGLES FOUR YEARS . , CBy Associated Press) SIDNEY, Australia, April 14. Konrad Detzler, a German army engineer who had been hiding in the New Guinea jungle for years, or since the beginning of the war has come back to civilisation and now Is In an Internment camp In Australia. Detzler's story Is on a par with other romantic incidents of the war Detzler holds a captain's commission. When the war began he was surveying the boundary line between the then Kaiser Wilhelmland, or German New Guinea, and Papua, or British New Guinea. He decamped Into the bush. This was a risky act, for the bushmen prefer human flesh above all other kinds. When an Australian force occupied Kaiser Wilhelmland, Detzler was overlooked. For more than four years Detzler lived in the bush near Mismis. He had a shotgun but It was not long before he ran out of cartridges. Thereafter he lived on yams, taro and kau (a variety of sweet potato) In common with the natives, and upon birds and animals which he caught by means of snares. Several times . the Australians searched for him, but Detzler managed to elude them. He might have stayed indefinitely in the jungle, but missionaries told the Papuans of the armistice and they In turn told him. Thereupon he surrendered to the nearest Australian officer. While living throughout the war at Mismis, Detzler wore only a lava lava (native kilt). The result is that he is almost as brown as a Papuan. He now wears a German uniform.

Baseball Commission May Be Dissolved CHICAGO, April 14 Dissolution of the National Baseball Commission, the "supreme court" of organized base-

j ball, absolute severance of relations

with the National Association of minor leagues and revision,) f the players contracts eliminating Uie ten days and reserve clauses, will be the probable result of the $240,000 verdict granted the Baltimore club of the Federal league by aoury in the District of Columbia 8upjeme court Saturday. The revolutionary measures to safeguard baseball from all future legal attacks were forecast by Ban Johnson, president of the American league, upon his return from Washington tonight. The American and National leagues together with their club owners and officials, and certain officials of the defunct Federal league, were defendants in the ? ' 000 suit for damages brought unc .e Sherman anti-trust latfs.

Men Wanted for Army In V. S. Possessions Army Recruiter Wright of the local recruiting office at Sixth and Main streets, received a letter Saturday from Major Thomas F. Ryan of the Indianapolis office, authorizing enlistment for service in Hawaii, Panama and the Philippines. Branches of services open for enlistment to go to these places are coast artillery, infantry, engineer corps, signal corps, and medical departments. This enlistment is in addition to the 50,000 men wanted for service in Europe. All men enlisting for any foreign service must enlist for three years. Men enlisting in the infantry for the Philippines are to be assigned later to Pekin, China. This offer is entirely out of precendent, he said, as the United States army has never before offered young men the choice of country in which they preferred to serve. Men who have previously served in the United States army can enlist for one year but will be held at nome and not sent abroad. Major Ryan said that the quota for service in France was rapidly filling up and, young men men still wishing to enlist for service in France would have to hurry up.

Get to Work as Soon as You Can Everybody must work. Humans are no different in this respect than the busy bee, and the quicker we realize this fundamental, the sooner will come that actual peace for which the world has been fighting. The drone in the bee hive is not tolerated, but is thrown out and shunned when he begins to live on the results of the labor of others. A place to work and something to do must be provided for those worthy. There are big things to do in America. Everybody should get his bearings and settle down to peace time pursuits. The war is over. Before the war, America exported approximately 7 million tons of foodstuffs, products of the farm. We must now produce and export a surplus estimated at 22 million tons. No person, who knows anything about farming, should seek employment in the cities. The latter are overcrowded with people to whom a dime looks as big as a silver dollar and opportunity and necessity for spending money is greater than the wages received by the average worker. The farmer is independent of the "hall bedroom" of the close, ill-smelling apartment, having the great butdoors to work and live in. At the end of the season, the returns for his labor have been saved, whereas the city man more often has nothing to show. The farmer is privileged to enjoy everything the city man has and then some. Many applicants to the U. S. Employment Service have come from men who have experienced city life and after years of toil and sacrifice have found themselves with as little of the world's goods as when born. There are great big opportunities on the American farm which need only development. There are hordes of wealthy farmers Independent and able to retire at the age of fifty; they are the envy of every city man. Farm employment is the surest all year round job anyone can have and the best pay in the long run. U. S. Employment Service can put you in touch with these Farm Opportunities. No fee Is charged either applicant or prospective employer ;; for the service. " ' '
