"Dear Sir: "Take occasion to write a few linea that up to present am still very much alive, although have had sev eral close or rather narrow escapes from Uoche machine guns and artil lery. "On Aug. 18 1 was one of a num lier that were transferred from tht division I came overseas with, to the 26th infantry, company H. "On Sept. 12 we were in the drive on Mont Sec which we took and captured 18,000 prisoners. In this battle I met with a slight mishap in the form of stopping a machine gun bullet. It ."truck me Just over the heart and it would probably have penetrated through but for the fact that I had two clips of ammunition in my top left blouse pocket, and the bullet merely burnt the llesh and kin. pent several days in a base hospital and rejoined my outfit. "About Oct. 1 we ar-iin went over the top in a bi drive. We not only made our objective but made two more. We are to po over apaln. Just waiting for orders "Am not permitted to tell you what division the 2$th Infantry is. but no doubt you enn giiesa easily, as it is on-? of the ilrst that came over. "Have not done much boxing yet. owing to the fact that we have been on the front most of the time and one is too busy dodging O. I. cans (shells) to do any. Have forwarded nn rkpen challenge to the New York Herald (Paris edition, to box any jrood boy there, and no doubt the opportunity will present Itself one of these days. "I am the only South Bend boy in the company. However, there aro quite a few South Uend boys in other companies in this division who were transferred at the same time I was. I ran across Mike O'Dowd. the middleweight champion of the world, with whom I used to box at Camp Custer. He is with the en gineers and looks pretty fair con sidering the hardships of a soldler'i experiences. He was a little home sick. We are all in excellent spirits, as the end, while not In slglX, Is not so far off, plus the sought victory.

SUNDAY SERMON OF CAPT. BROOKES OF THE SALVATION ARMY Capt. Xehemlah Brookes spoke at the Salvation Army hal Sunday night on the following text: "Endeavoring to keep the unity of the spirit In the bond of peace. " Kpheslans 4:2. Progress In unity with any partic ular object in view Is achieved by endeavor, or the exertion of physical srtength or Intellectual power. The keeping and progressing in the unity of thn spirit of Christ is accomplished by thoughts, words and deeds being in accordance with our Lord and Master, which may be enjoyed by all mankind the world over. Irrespective of Satan or evil opposing powers. Being "born again." or the in grafting in the "true vine" process is essential for unity and progress in Christian spirituality. With all na ture's beauty in vftrlety of plants, flowers and trees, our Heavenly Father does not cause a single leaf or flower to be seen without it pass ing through respective process of seed, earth and root, with support of trunk, branch or stem. Man be comes real Christian following process made clear by God's revela tion through Christ's earthly minis tration, and by endeavors, satisfac tory progress In keepinc the unity of the spirit Is achievable. The inhabitants of Ephes!as were noted for licentious and luxurious lifo, and fanatical worship of Diana. Those of Ephelia who had left heathenism and become regenerated by th powr of CJort. were admon ished by Paul the apostle, to en deavor to keep the unity of the spirit of rhrit, a rem'nder of contrast from their former state of living be ing given in his epist!.

United organized relief work and meeting of financial demands, remits for rood ire seen on this lines, while un-united methods and actions are ruinous to many communities. Treves is situated on the left bank of the Moselle river, 57 miles Fouth of Coblenz. It is perhaps the oldest town in Germany and is rich in Roman relics. SOLDERS 1 L BE 'DE-LOUS Boats With Returning Soldiers Will be Held in Quarantine. N'EW YORK. Dec. 2. If New York and other ports of debarkation are not to be subjected to "the old Mosaic plague of lice visited upon Pharoah and the ancient Egyptians," American soldiers returning from overseas must be thoroughly "de loused" before they are permitted to meet their relatives, declared Health Commissioner Copeland in a state ment Sunday. Calling attention to the fact that typhus and trench fever are carried by "cooties," Dr. Copeland said: "This matter is of such vital Im portance that no time whatever should be lost by the government authorities in preparing equipment and medical personnel adequate to meet the needs of this serious situa tion. A failure to make such provis ion might inflict an amount of suf fering which would justify severe censure upon those responsible for such neglect." Dr. Copeland expressed hli grati fication that the port health author ities had ordered transports held in quarantine until a complete exami nation of those aboard had 'been made.

Ameri ca's "food conservation week for world relief" opened today with an appeal from Food Administrator Hoover, which was read in the churches over the country. Mr. Hoover, who is now in Ku rope, arranging for food supplies for the populations of that country, said the people of the United State now have opportunity for renewed serv ice to mankind by helping through conservation of food here to feed 300,000,000 hungry people in north ern France, Retglum, central Rus sia, southern Europe, Poland and Armenia. The food administrator also dl? eussed the pledre given las sum mer to the inter-allied food council by the American government to meet the food program of the al lies and said the ending of th war does not release the American peo ple from that pledge. "The same populations must be fed." the message said, "and until another season has lassed th-y can not feed themselves. "In addition to the supplying of those to whom we are already pledged we now have the spb-ndid opportunity and obligation of meet ing the needs of those millions of people in the hitherto occupied ter ritories who are facing actual star vation. "The people of Belgium, northern France. Serbia. Itoumanla, Monte negro, Russia and Armenia relv upon America for Immediate aid. We must also participate in th preservation of the newly liberated nntlons in Austria, nor can we. Ig nore the effect on the futurme world developments of a famine condition among those other people whom we have recently release,! from our enemies."
