ARKSBURG 5^83^ *-' ?* ?.-.? iim . ___ ^ ^ " Teft^fThe^?xperjenea^Ofi itie Way from Ttws Country ; -to Belgium. ? " ' * ? Miss Maym-e B. -Gorman and Miss -Xellie -Manning, nurses who recently ' left iere to do Red Cross work in ..Belgium, have written Mrs. J. B. JSewhouse, of this city, as follow3 ' concerning: their trip and what they; have seen ill the war country: { "We are in LaPaane at last, and we find things very much better than we expected. - 'We arrived in Calais from Fordes j deEauat 0 p. m.. e^r We passed through a very beau Itlfol country, very level and the ? grass so green and pretty. The trees are coming out green and are beau tiful. Some of them are covered with mistletoe. The apple trees are so many and are so profusely cov-' ered with bloom that you can smell them as you go by on the trains.! And the trains, they are the great-! est things you ever saw. You have read of the compartments. Bach V" coach " is made up of four compart ments,.and you get in from the side. The compartments do not communi cate. You have to wait until the ?train stops io see each other. Each' ' -compartment carries eight. They are not very comfortable on-long jour neys, as you cannot" walk around, j ' , . ' When we arrived at Calais we, were met by-two soldiers and after; .much- discussion as to our. baggage' we went through'the depot and had io show our passports.. Then we went j In motor trucks with our baggage' piled. in all around us, to what we j thought was our hotel. When we ar- j rived we found that our quarters! were at a hospital. Temporiaire. an bid. school which had been fixed up, for- a hospital, an/annex to our hos-j pital here at La Panne, called De| Page Annex. There were not many patients there' as only the slightly wounded are' taken care of there. There was onlyj one nurse, a Belcium. The work is nearly all done by volunteer men.J And such courtesy as we received! there would make your heart ache; for the Belgians- They were our slaves. They cheered when we men tioned America. Some of the girls bad American flags and they went wild over them. The girls had to ex change them for numerous other lit tle souvenirs. They had three wards fixed up for us to sleep in. and; about eight beds in each ward. We! were all very comfortable. The men1 waited on us like so many women, i Then -they had supper ready for us. I We were very hungry. We had bread and butter, cold beef and coffee. The best coffee we have had since we left America. We told the cook thar( and he was very much pleased. They; informed us that breakfast would be; at 6 a. m.. so we all had to get up atj 6-30 and dress foe. breakfast. Then we sat around, wrote in our dairy.! and-did fancy work until 11:30,! when they came and told us to. pile.' in- and go on. We traveled from' Calais to La Panne in ambulances, j There were three of them. . It', took'" us ' two . "hours to maker" the trip and as there was a' ?northeaster" on we nearly froze to death.-' We passed through Dunkirk and Abbecourt and saw where the Germans had shelled the towns.' Saw several large houses destroyed; also pavements and trees all torn to pieces. ! We passed several trenches., but ? could not get a . very good idea, of them from the back of the ambu , lances. At Abbecourt and La Panno proper the Germans droppecU shells the niKht after we arrived. Every one thinks they will finally shell La Panne. When you read about it do .?not be alarmed. "When the first shell comes we will evacuate and go out Into France. This is a very well regulated place here, and was quite ? a .surprise to us. : "'The hospital consists of a large hotel-called Hotel Le L Ocean. Then there are several little villas, in fact 'all-the buildings around, accessible at all... have been utilized either for patients or nurses. They have also bunt" several ? pavilions, holding as many-as 100 beds. These are just temporary but are very complete, 'and axe" fitted with toilets, hot and cold water and electric lights. In. or near the main building they have built a very large dining room for doctors and nurses. We think it would accommodate about seventy-five - at brice. "The service is good.# Have "very good food and beer for dinner ? and supper. -On the second floor is a large drawing room for patients or nurses. If you read Mary ftoberts jRinetharfs piece' in the Saturday Evening Post, you will remember - jwbat'"she said about-it. 'W<= arrived here Monday at 1:30 -and went" on duty Tuesday night. We axe not very busy no was the fighting Is not irieix. here. . W<? have a broncar 'dine (orderly) who sits in the ward all night, and if the patients want anything they come and call us. Our busy time is when new patients are brought in. The night ,fe -whep-they are always brought in. and 'soiiietimes by the hundreds. The night nurses .haVe to bathe them all otherwise our busy time commences at '4 a. m.. when we start to take the' ? -temperature of patients and to make ?up the. beds for the day. The order lies ."wash their faces and give them ?UeIr breakfasts, which consists of b^eadv'bater and coffee. They seem to-be a happy lot and are singing and talking all the time. Today Madame DePage was buried In the sand dumes out back of our villa, until after the war. It was a very impressive service. There were six nurses from each unit?America. England, Belgium. France and Sweeden to represent the nurses. They all carried flowers and followed the- casket- Then came tie doctor and his two sons and a very large .procession of, soldiers and towns people. They first went to the church *rhere high mass ..of requiem- was said; * then to the grave. We. "Nell and I. were so tired we did,not go. "but we had our maid call us and we watched from our window. The queen was at the church, but -did not so to the grave. J 'Our quarters are very good. Xell arid I are together, a double robta with single beds. We have been to gether since we left home, and are on nigfet-duty together.-? ? We went out-along the beach this evening and . bad a very delightful ?walk, gathered and are "savins them for. Joe, Aeroplanes were around bere all day today, but .they were -thought to be the allies" though this evening the sIrene blew; and that; means "'there ? a German aeroplane somewhere near. We went out brrt could not see any thing. We also saw ithem shelling an aeroplane -today. We could hear a report, and then see a little puff" oZ blue smoke up among, the clouds, but could not see the machines. I certainly have ben impressed by the way we have been treated by the French and Belgians. They are so appreciative of everything and seem to realize what an effort we have made to come over here rt> help then*. The English were nice to us. but were so different. We have three society girls "from New York here as nrobaxioners. I wish yoa would subscribe for the Telegram for at least four months, and have it sent here- And I want you to look out for the New York and Philadelphia Sunday papers. We bad our pictures taken along the way from Dieppe to Calais, and" they said they would appear In those papers. When you write sometimes yo? might put a few very small American flags in the letter. So many want them for souvenirs. NEW BUILDINGS ARE ANNOUNCED For West Virginia by the Con struction Record, of Pittsburg.

Oil and Gas Development Latest News' of the Vest Virginia and Xearby Fields with Review of the Week's: Operations. The wee-end of developments in the eastern fields was decidedly tame. I Nothing hetter than light-wells were completed-in any section~and-in some localities diy holes were conspicuous. Operators are doing very little in the 'way of searching for new terri tory and it is only now and then that! the old districts are able to furnish i a good producer.
