the recent fighting be-
tween the Finns and the Russians. He was one of 876 passengers who traveled eighteen days aboard the •'American Legion” through mine-in-fested waters with far from adequate lifeboat provisions and under conditions of extreme discomfort, to reach New York and American protection. Ludden explained that Petsamo and Lisbon were, at that time, the | only two ports open in Europe and ■lhat getting to Lisbon for those in northern Europe was next to impos-
| sible.
Ludden told of a group of travelers lieing escorted to breakfast in a Swedish town by soldiers with saw-ed-off shotguns. JExtrqme precautions were being taken and all identifying railroad signs and road directions were gone. Although Mr. Ludden made his ”197 Russian wood-burning engine” seem rather amusing, it was the only engine on the line, he explained and at every station “it had to unhitch itself, do all the switching necessary and then hitch itself on again.” Mr. Ludden closed his story of his 5,600-mile journey by antiquated rail, bus and aboard ship with an account of entering New York harbor to find the Statue of Liberty veiled in fog and rain and of paying a $7 taxi bill to travel from the Brooklyn Navy Yard to New York City.

united with the Baptist church at North Vernon. Later she moved her membership to the Church of Christ at Belle Union. Like the life of all true mothers, hers was a life of love and sacrifice. Patient and unassuming, she deemed no task too hard nor sacrifice too great if in their accomplishments she could contribute to the happiness or welfare of those she loved. Toward the community she was tolerant and kind always ready and willing to lighten the burden of a neighbor or friend. She leaves to mourn her going one aged mother, a devoted husband, three sons, one daughter, three grandchildren, one sister of Cincinnati, Ohio, and two brothers of Oklahome, and a number of relatives and friends in Jennings county, the same as in Putnam county. As we look at her today and think of the years of toil and sacrifice, of the words of encouragement and hope of her kind and tender loving sympathy, we want to take her care worn hands and say, ■‘Such beautiful hands, Though hearts were weary and sad, These patient hands kept toiling on That children might be glad. 1 almost weep, as looking back, To childhood's distant day, I think how her hand rested not While mine were at their play. But oh! Beyond the shadow land, Where all Is bright and fair, I know full well these dear old hand.-. The palm of victory wear. Where crystal streams through endless time, Flow over golden sands, And where the old grow young again, I’ll clasp my mother’s hands.”
