Were Done Forever _ With Fighting” Something of what the Red Cross means to the boys over there was brought home to one Bismarck moth- er, who has two Yanks in the field,; in‘a letter from Niel Reid of Co. A of | the Fighting First to Mrs. Peter Reid, in which he tells of leaving the hos- pital recently after his company had been moved to.another front, and of traveling without sleen and with noth- ing to eat but Red Cross coffee and doughnuts to.cateh up with his com- mand. This he did just as the news of the armistice reached this front. There was much quiet rejoicing among the soldiers and the French populace, writes the Bismarck boy. German prisoners sent out on menial duties were subjected to much “joshing” by the French who were anxious to know -when the Boche’ would reach Paris. The: weather, writes the Bismarck fighter, has been very cold, but the boys have pletty’ of warm clothing and have.had no difficult in maintain- ing comfort,’»He is now in a, replace- ment camp; awaiting a call to move up to the German front, and theré are 20 other ‘old members of Co. A there. Niel regards’ his division, the first, as the finest body of troops in all the world. ;.iWe-were first.in. France and first in the trenches,” he writes his/ mother. “We went to the front in January, a full month ahead of any other division, and we were in every important fight and drive of any size during the last year, at Chateau Thierry, Catingy and the Argonne. “In ‘the Argonne we captured a German major with what was left of his. battalion. He told us that he had orders to hold his position at any cost, but that when his men learned they were fighting the First division they simply, quit. ‘I knew we couldn't hold out against this division,’ said the officer, crying. ‘I don’t think yau Americans could get a division this in! five years.’ ” Bact: Lieut. Austin Reid, wh0- was'‘as-' signed‘to a New York national guard division after graduating from; pits af cers’ training school and whe tt the front early in, September, his mother that there was ditt ing along their front when. ‘the. of peade came. “We were thinking: of: the boys.who had finished fighti good,” ;wrote Lieut. - Reid, ‘var didn't feel ‘much like cheering.

Season’s Contest Basketball fans will experience the “old thrill” on Friday evening, Decem- ber 20, when Mandan and Bismarck play the opening game of a good schedule at the'high school gymnas- ium. There is little basis for comparison of strength on past performance. Both teams have been practicing hard and long since Thanksgiving and except for a scrimmage or two with the alum- ni neither team has played outside games. The Mandan team -has at least three veteran players, while Bismarck will trot out almost an en- tirely new team. Whatever advantage comes to Mandan from experience will be offset by Bismarck playing on the home floor and before a home crowd. Other games on the local high school schedule Will be an eastern trip to Fargo and Casselton. in the latter. part of January and games at home with Dickinson, Jamestown and Valley City. _ * Both eet a LADIES—READ Have your last year’s coat, suit or skirt altered to conform to this year's styles, relining, repairing, dry-clean- ing and dying by experts in their par- ticular lines of work.
