ORPORAL HOWARD BRUNNER. of Co. E, 309th Engineers, a Richmond boy, with the American Expeditionary Forces in France, has written a story covering the travels of the 309th Regiment of Engineers troin

Camp Sherman, Ohio, to the Engineers Camp at Sevenay, France. "We left Camp Sherman, Ohio, via the Baltimore & Ohio railroad about

was exhibited here Sunday afternoon in fields to the wtit of Mound Hill

cemetery for the purpose of furthering interest in the Victory loan. The tank clambered up and down a rugged hillside with apparent ease, in addition to performing other stunts. The western .hillside of Mound Hill cemetery," which uraished an excellent view of the exhibition, was massed with people. The tank halted for a time in Eaton, while a speaker talked to the crowds and urged purchase of bonds of the Victory loan. A band escorted the tank from the city to the fields where the maneuvers were staged. The tank arrived here about

for overseas," he writes. "We were glad to" leave, for life In the training

camps had grown monotonous to us. Everyone in the company knew that we were 'going across,' but knew nothing at to which country would be our destination. "Our first stop was in Columbus, O., at which place we were given refreshments by the Red Cross. "Our trip through the states to New York was an enjoyable one. Everybody waved us God-speed, and at all points where we stopped the Red Cross was there with a reception for us. The weather had been nice and the scenery fine, changing from the broad level

Stav at Camp Mills

Their arrival and stay in New York Is then described by Brunner: 'K3ur stay at Camp Mills terminated on September 8, when we again packed our equipment and returned to Long Island City. We now got our first look at the vessel on which ws were to sail. The steamer Scandinavian, a British boat manned by British sailors, was docked at the pier waiting to be loaded. The boat was highly camouflaged, and as we were told it was still a fast boat, in spite of the fact that Its prime was at least ten years behind it." Following is an interesting descrip

tion of the trip out of New York harbor and the boat's convoys: "After escorting us for several hours, the dirigibles, aeroplanes and submarine chasers left us and returned." The ships then settled down to their task. "Although everybody appeared happy and carefree, the thought that we were leaving our all back of that long gray Jine that had gradually faded in the west, made many heavy hearts, and many of us wondered if we would ever get to see it again. They Spot Ireland. "About 3 o'clock in the morning on the twelfth day out we spotted Ireland. The ride between Ireland and Scotland was pretty, with bright and vari-colored llelds sloping to the water's edge. "We passed what is known as 'Paddy's Mile Stone, an immense rock, reaching up out of the water to a

height of almost 900 feet. We could see this rock for several hours before

we reached it." Brunner explained that he recovered from the verge of seasickness and enjoyed the trip. - "After passing Dum-barton,-we steamed slowly - up the Clyde river," he writes, 'and from there on up to Glasgow." They departed from Glasgow by train, going through interesting little villages and larger cities. "Wood is scarce in the British Isles, and there are no fences other than the old stone ones that go winding in and out of the hill, which probably were made centuries ago." Stops in Winchester and Southambton were then described, followed by the trip across the English Channel

under cover of the darkness of the night. "After receiving a breakfast ol hardtack, cheese and coffee we debarked and were lined along the dock in company front, for inspection. "We finally arrived at St. Antier, a small village about eighty miles from the border line between France and Spain. Here we unloaded our equipment and marched to St. Germaine, a distance of seven miles. The inhabitants number about 200, who were very surprised at our arrival. Here wo were billeted in the homes of residents, in barns, chicken cooks, and other buildings which could be made habitable. After getting thoroughly settled here we constructed a rifle range in order that we might keep in practice and be ready for the Boches

when the time came. The remainder

oi our time was spent in repairing the

roads and polishing up things In gen

eral. "On October 1 Major General Hale visited St. Germaine and gave the regiment a talk. He told us that the

S4th was to be held intact -as a fighting division, and that we should get Into the best shape possible, as the 309th Engineers were going to the front within a month. "From that time on we had an interesting topic of conversation.

'"Our stay in St. Germaine terminated on October 9, when we moved our regimental maneuver field a distance of three miles, and located with

in a ten-minute warn of St. Vincent, a somewhat larger village. Here we camped until October 22, during which time the weather was gloomy and wet, iainin$ most of the time. "We were anxious to leave here. We did not like sleeping, on the ground,

especially in bad weather, We -welcomed the news when it came that we were going to leave, regardless of the fact that everything pointed to our going to the front where we knew the living conditions were much vorse. We did not care, however. We were getting to the state where we wanted to get In and get It over. To us It was a settled fact, when after a march of twelve miles, to Mussidan where we were to entrain, we noticed part of the train was loaded with barbed wire, revetment, and other materials which, although foreign to us, were no doubt familiar to the men In the trenches. "We were again given a three-day ration, and at 1:30 pulled away from Mussidan, and again we jolted over French railroads, passing through Monpont, Coutres, Montendre, Jonzac, Saintes, La Rochelle, La Roche-sur-Yon, Nantes, Savenay, detraining at Montoir, France, two days later. "The scenery we had passed through was interesting, but no one in our car had a map, and we gradually became confused as to what part of France we were in. At Vertou, a small town near Nantes, we were enlightened. The train stopped there awhile, and we were given a chance to talk to some of Uncle Sam's boys who , were located there. They told us of our lo

cation and probable destination, which we afterwards learned to be correct. "After detraining at Montoir, we were marched through the town, to a section of Camp Montoir, where

MRS. HARLOW LlliDLEY MADE PRESIDENT OF FRANCHISE LEAGUE

Mrs. Harlow Lindley was elected president of the Richmond Franchise league at the annual meeting Saturday afternoon in the art gallery. Other officers named were Mrs. Phariba Stephens, first vice president; ' Miss Martha Doan, second vice president; Miss Florence Bond, secretary, and Miss Annette Edmunds, treasurer. Mrs. Lindley, Miss Pensy Newby and Mrs. M. F. Johnston reported on the Franchise League convention held in Indianapolis recently. Miss Newby discussed the speech made by Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, national president of the , Franchise League of America in which -she explained the League for Women Voters. For the next year there will be two woman's organizations in this county, the League for Women Voters and the Franchise League of America. The object of the league. Miss Nf why said, is that of all women's work, to make the world a better place to llv& in. The organization of the league involves all the plans for future forms of

activity including Americanization, so

cial hygiene, child welfare work, women in Industry, better laws for wo

men, and food supply. For a time the League of Women Voters will be a section of the Franchise league because some states do not have complete enfranchisement. When a state obtains a complete vote it becomes a member of the league. There are 25 states. now qualified for membership." The League as a league cannot endorse any political party. It will be conducted by a department in which there will be a member from each state in each section of the department. The next meeting will be held February, 1920. The whole body will be called the House of Delegates. There

will also be. a House of Voters in which there are women representing states that have complete enfranchisement The Richmond delegates to the convention in Indianapolis said Indiana women felt it would take at least two yean of hard work- before" Indiana women are given the full vote. - Mrs. Lindley aald the hoped to sustain interest in the Franchise League in Richmond and that during the summer arrangements would be made for the comig year. It was suggested at the meeting Saturday that the Franchise League try to get a ruffragette

speaker for Chautauqua. It will prob

ably be arranged to open next year's

work with a luncheon and a good speaker.

It is believed that there are only three matt of ivory in existence. ,

On November 10 we were again

given orders to move. At 8 o'clock the following morning, that memorable day, November 11, we left Camp Montoir in auto trucks enroute to join Company D at the engineers' camp, Savenay. a. distance of .twelve miles. "While waiting for permission to enter this camp after our ride through the country, we first received the news that the war was over. This waB imparted to us by a Spanish laborer, who tried to explain 'La Guerre Fini.' We told him we 'comprennd, and he went on his way happily satisfied. "Before the day was over we heard the news on every side. The couriers passing us told us of the celebration in the cities. We did not celebrate. We were only glad to hear the news. It meant much more to us, however,

than we were able to realize. The

news that it was all over although glad news, lelt a pang of regret with me that we hadn't seen the front, and really done something there. "Have no idea when we will be leaving for home, but we are all hoping it will not be for long."
