PAGE FOUR THE MOHAVE COUNTY MINER AND OUR MINERAL WEALTH, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1918. 'With Our Soldiers and Sailors JUHZONA BOYS MAKING GOOD IN HUES L V. Corothers, who is now in ac tive service at the front writes an in teresting letter telling of life in the trenches: Friend Mack: A few lines old man Co let you know I am still kicking along on terra firma, and much the same as usual. The tobacco and etc. you sent us at Camp Meade was very acceptable and appreciated by the oth er boys and myself. We wasted lit tle time when we hit the trail for this place, and believe me the Old Ui S. is playing a stellar role over here and enlarging the scope of operations very fast, infact we are making war to win it and it takes just the. dash and go of our boys to put it over on the huns. We came .direct from the ship up behind the guns "and their roar is in our ears all the; time, we also have been under shell fire several times al ready, and are getting used' to it a lit tler NYe.see lots of activity in the air, as enemy 'planes are over us every day dropping bombs, and machine-gun hooting us, but, no casualties yet. A' hun airplane got a sausage balloon last eve went up in a blaze like a'flash, but the observer jumped off with his parachute and landed safe, while our air-craft guns got one of their, planes whose driver had a little bad luck by hitting the ground wo hard. We are dirty, lousy and fat as the best of them and feeling 0. K., only that we don't have enough real work yet. Our U. S. boys are knocking H out of the Germans, and are the admiration of the French, who admit they are too slow fighters tho they are, to keep along with the "Yanks", who keep a digging in after they got tiem going, and dont wait to re-organize and give fritzie a chance to re cuperate or rest up. We are strong over here and growing stronger at a surprising rate. Our war vessels are making a reputation and are much more plentiful than I supposed. The United States no doubt has made mis takes, but do-it ever think we haven't accomplished wonders already. You have 'ho. idea, of the magnitude of tiie operations all,along the' line from the States here. A bunch of us are liv ing in a German dug-out just recently abandoned by them. A long row of their graves, officers and iron cross men is near at hand. We have all kinds 'pf machine guns, -helmets, gas mask's" a'nd other relics which they left as Ihey jumped out of their holes to be killed off toy' our boys, and the stacks of shells they hadn't time to' shoot off arg very much in evidence, but they are" putting up a fight just the same and we are not getting off unscathed by any means. I see Martin Kraus, Bud Vernon and Sherman every day, they are as In the Service of Old Glory Below Is the list of Mohave county men who have answered the nation's call and are aervlnff In the various branches of the TJ.

THE YANKS ARE POTTING "PEP" INTO THE FIGHT I ' W. A. Holt writes that the Yanks I have got the Huns going. Dear "Friend Jack: I just received 1 your welcome letter written in June ' and was sure glad to hear from you j While you were celebrating the Fourth j of July I was on a transport in mid I ocean. France is a beautiful country but shot to shreds where the armies , have been. It is rolling and looks al-, I most terraced, and the houses are hundreds of years old and every one of stone. I cant tell you where Tarn but have heard the big shells whistle and burst within a hundred feet of me ' and believe me when you hear one you I know wha the next noise is. They come with a shriek and go into the ground about ten feet and explode and j they make some hole when they burst. I I have also seen several battles in the air and planes shot down and also have been sprayed with bullets from a machine gun in an aeroplane. I was looking at him when he started shoot ing, it was at night; he' turned his nose down and his gun began to blaze, and bullets rained down on us and the surt of a gun kept coming back and the next night bombed us. I 'think we have the record for hiking. We made .forty miles in two days with heavy packs on our backs, guns and packs weighing about fifty pounds but came in in good shape. I was never in better health and while things are not like they are in the States we are getting along fine and ready for anything. I guess you see from the papers what the Yanks are doing. There is no give back to them except to give back ten licks for one. They are putting the pep and push to this war like it was never done befdre. When they go over the top they never come back but always get the ground that Fritz had. When you write Mr. Northropp give him my regards. I will write to him soon, also give my regards to Goemer and tell him I would 'appre ciate a letter from him. I suppose he is still V. P. and G. M. What have you found in the big tunnel and' when you write me tell me what you are doing and how the Blossom is panning out. I expect there are a hundred men in' this outfit who know you well and we often talk of you. Well adios until next fall (1919). Give my regards to everybody and write me soon and be sure to send papers, same address as letter. Sincerely your friend W. A. HOLT Carfln. Bernard J. Holland. W. B. (Hark, Thomas Hanson. H.

Lyon writing to Dr. Francis of Kingman tells of being wounded in August: Dear Doctor: Well they got me at last on the 19th of July in the start of the present advance. Was hit with a machine gun bullet in the left leg but it does not amount to much. Af ter having my wound dressed had a two day ride back to the hospitals at which I am now speedily recover ing. They sure do give me wonderful treatment as it is a U. S. Hospital. We get all we want to eat having had chicken several times and ice cream. The Red Cross and the Y. M. C. A. give us smokes and cookies. We have band concerts twice a week which helps pass the time. Today several French ladies were here and enter tained us. They were prominent society French people. This is a large French town and will be glad get out to look around a bit. Don't guess it will be long before thai) time is here. Would like very much to be back in the old town again, and seeing as how we are doing such good work how think it is the beginning of the end. Give my best regards to the Jones family, also the Whites. Tell Toler to become a naval surgeon ipstead of a soldier. With kindest regards, Sincerely, as ever, GEO D.

LIBERTY LOAN POSTERS ARE BEST YET SHOWN Ten million posters and display cards in eleven designs will be used by the Treasury Department in the Fourth Liberty Loan campaign. All of the designs were donated by dis tinguished American artists. The brutality and atrocity with which the Germans wage war are viv idly portrayed in most of the post ers, and the duty and vital importance of protecting our country and our women and children frpm such an en emy, and of rescuing the world and humanity from. its curse are empha sized with all the appeal of art. One of the posters, by Strothmann, is the menacing face of a German sol dier with a bloody bayonet; the ruins of a cathedral and the smoke of wan ton conflagration appear in the pic ture. A picture by Norton, shows a pair of bloody German military boots with the injunction: "Keep These Off of the United States." There is a strong appeal in the picture, by Ever ett, of a mother, with an infant at her breast arid another child' clinging to her skirts, with one arm stretched out in agonizing appeal; the legend is "Must Children Die and Mothers Plead in Vain." The Statue of Liberty crumbling under German shell fire and New York city in flames is pictured, by Pennell.with the legend, "That Lib erty Shall Not Perijh From . the Earth." "Hun or Home?" is the cap tion of a picture by Raleigh, repre senting a German soldier invading a home while a little girl with a baby in her arms gazes in mortal fear and apprehension. The bloody imprint of a hand, "The Hun His Mark", makes a striking poster by St. John, with the exhorta tion, "Blot it Out With Liberty Bonds." "Remember Belgium" ap pears in a poster by Young above a silhouette of a German soldier drag ging away a terrified Belgian girl; the background is vivid fire and ruin. A new note is struck in the poster, by Williams, "For Victory" the fig ure of Victory bearing a sword in one hand and the American shield in the other leading our troops; the Amer ican eagle and flag appear in the pic ture.. "Come On" is the caption of a picture by Whitehead, of a determined American soldier with prepared bayo net standing over a body of a dead German. Victory figures again in the beautiful female figure .standing out against the American flag and point ing out to sea; she towers above a gun crew in action upon an American battleship when a gun is being actual ly served. This picture, which is by Howard Chandler! Christy, is declared by experts to be technically accurate even to the marking of the shell which shows it to be an actual service shell for sinking submarines and not a tar get shell. The eleventh design is an enlarged picture of the Fourth Liberty Loan Button. , Exhortation to buy bonds and sup port the Fourth Liberty Loan are car ried on all the posters. In the old days it was blue mass that moved things, and it was a fav orite prescription of physicians. Now the khaki mass performs the same service for the Gennans. Carryng whole carloads of trophies fresh from the battlefields of France, twelve speakers, (four of .them just returned from the battle field) and a Naval band of 35 pieces, the Fourth Liberty Loan Special Train No. 1 will begin on a trip of 4198 miles through California, Arizona and Nevada on Monday, September 23 and is sched uled to be in Kingman Friday, Oct ober 4 between l:3Qf and 3:30 P.
