THURSDAY, NOV. 21, 1918 ‘DAME CASPER MAN TELLS OF FOREIGN WORK Yankees “Thankful to Great Peo- ple at Home” Who Provide Entertainment and Cheer in the Camps Corporal Edward Layman who is now serving with the 164th Infantry American Expeditionary Forces in France, has written an interesting letter to his father from St. Aignan, France, in response to his father’s request that he tell just what the various organizations included in the United War Fund are doing for the boys in the army. Corporal Layman formerly worked in Casper for one of the local oil companies and has numerous friends here who will read his cheery letter with interest. St. Aignan, France. October 10, 1918. Dear Father: You asked me to write you of the results here of the people’s work at home. The results are so many that I may not be able to remember all of them at on sitting, but here goes. First I will mention the rations. You are having mbatless days, etc., and an allowance (short) of sugar and probably other articles of which I do not know. Our rations are the same as before we'came here. We don’t know what wheatless, meatless and sugarless days are. And all the bread is of white flour. I'll now switch to the Red Cross. You find them everywhere in France. They have regular Red Cross depots where we can get your famous “Red Cross” sweater, all kinds of toilet articles, comfort kits, etc., and to- bacco. Along the railways at the scheduled stops they serve us hot drinks and sandwiches. Of course all this is free. They also deliver toilet articles through supply ser- geants. They are busy on the firing line with the same work, and you know what the Red Cross nurses are doing. Also our nurses in the U. S. army—enlisted. Now for the Y. M. C. A., the favorite with me. For the “Y” you have donated millions—and for us the good done by the “Y” -can’t be compared in money. It’s most of our, pleasure. The buildings back of the firing line are generally large, but not large enough. At the front they | are huts or dugouts. Always you will find the “Y” man or girl with their} good cheer. They sell everything! imagineable at commissary prices| (cheaper than civilian prices at home). The athletic directors are on, the job, There are reading and writ- ing rooms, movies three times per week, and entertainers frequently. Many of the entertainers connected with the “Y” are the best actors and actresses in the United States. I'll mention some of them. The girls, Elsie Janis, Miss Meredith and the! girl who wrote “Baby Mine” (I for- vot her name), and many others, the names of whom I cannot recall. Why, I just had cocoa and a sandwich for 50 centimes (10c) served by an} American girl in’the “Y.” The “Y” is also superintending and opening} up leavé areas all over France, in different cities. Twenty-six leave} areas will be opened in France this} winter and I understand the work will later be extended to England For each four months here Uncle | complimented by both the Sam gives us a seven-day leave—not | including time in transit. Our time! goes on and everything is free. Who) does it? The “Y.” bled. I was there 17 “Y” girls were work- ing. (I didn’t count the men.) We put up at the great hotels—-some class to us “doughboys,” eh?. U. S. pays part and the “Y” part. 1 am not up on their figures, but I know we “got service.” Ali our baseball and football goods are put out by the “Y,” too. I don’t know much about the Knights of Columbus, but I do know that I am indebted to them for this writing material. I’m now in the “KC” tent. There is so much, Dad, that I see and know your money is doing for us here that I’ve probably rot mentioned all of it. Oh, yes, the “Y" men insist on us saving money and they send it home.for us—free. I don’t know what all these different workers are paid. You know that’ We are a thotless bunch, Dad, and 2 happy army. We learn to expect things and at times forget where they come from, but when we stop to think a minute we are all thankful to you great people at whome, who are sometimes more lonesome than we. I've been in France 10 months and have never been lonesome yet. 1 I'll get started on other subjects if I don’t close. Regards to old friends and I'll be glad to answer their letters. Your son, EDWARD. Corp. Edward Layman, F Co., 164th Infantry, American E. F.

GUARD DANGE AT MASONIC TEMPLE FRIDAY FEATURE Military Institution Deserves Sup- the American Expedition Kilied in action__- port and Dance Paves Way for Appreciation of Casper Public Tomorrow night the dance of the Guards will be given at the Masonic Temple Hall for the benefit of the Guardsmen and the proceeds used to defray the expenses for the uniforms of the Casper soldiers. This is a local institution that de- serves the good will of Casper per- haps more than most. Instituted and ordained primarily as a second de fense for the State and nation it has furnished many of its members as well drilled men for the ranks of the national army. Most of those who went from Casper to the different camps soon attained officers’ places because of the teaching the local company of guards gave them. The guards are usually furnished uniforms by the State but the tight- ness of the money market, the needs of the regular army and the lack of provision by the State legislature did not permit the uniforming of the Guard units of the different states thru the regular channels. The other states have provided uniforms for their home soldiers by public sub- scription but the Wyoming men have preferred to do without until times were easier. That time is now at hand and the men should be en- couraged in their patriotic work. ee DRILL RESUMED BY HOME GUARD LAT EVENING Military Ball to Provide Uniform Fund Now Center of Interest Among Local Guard Members THE se a BY WASHINGTON The following casualties are re- ported by the commanding general of ary Forces: -- 260 Died of wounds......... 123 Died of accident and other causes --_- 3 Died of dise: 138 Wounded severely =e NOY Wounded, degree undeter- MINGd seen es ne 330 Missing in action - =e} ht Prisoners --~--- eas 127 Wounded slightly ----___ 185 Anton Bokemper, Wakefield, Nebs closed and the suit-case Olea J.

Riverton on the occasion of the dedi- Died of Disease Last evening the Guards held the Mont. first drill since the quarantine was enforced in Casper because of the, flu. A small company of the troop- ers were present and went thru the manual of the marchings. Those who had not as yet received their rifles were given them and the rest of the guns will be given out at! the next drill when all the men will be present. The rifles are thickly coated with gun grease and require a thoro cleaning before they can be used for drill or target practice. The dance to be held Friday even- ing in the Masonic Temple to supply) funds for the Guards’ uniforms is promised to be a successful event and tickets are selling readily. The work of the Guards in other states has won this form of military service: an enviable position. In the recent great forest fires on the Michi- gan peninsula, the Guards of that state were called out and policed the area in such an able manner, rescu- ing the fire-bound refugees and car- ing for the bodies, that they were regular army officers and the civilian au- thorities. In West Virginia a recent gathering of convicts, moonshiners and draft evaders in the mountains The troopers Last summer a forest fire near Wheatlan | in this state, was put out largely thru the work of the Wheatland com- pany. The Sheridan company of Guards ‘was mustered into service a few days three weeks old. However, the state will soon be able to show as good a sufler police service as some of the older states in the east which have} been under the supervision of the! service for, years. Pennsylvania has a state Constabulary that is rated as the best in the world. NOTICE KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS Regular meeting will be held to- hight at the Odd Fellows Hall. Work n the Third Rank.
