E, 102nd U. S. Infantry, in which he tells of taking part in the great drive and mentions a German prisoner of war who used to live on Sexton street. The letter follows. “Sept 18, France. “Dear sister: | ‘Well, we have been at it again | and believe me, we went at it right | as you all know by this time, so there isn’t much for me to tell. We started this drive and we started it good. We are now only a few miles from the German border and by the time you get this we will be on it. We have captured over 100 French towns that have been in the hands of the Ger- mans for the past four years and we were the first of the Allies to get into these towns in four years. Not only that but also, our company was in the lead. We had four days to make our point and we made it in eight hours. That’s going some. We captured ' some few thousand prisoners, horses, | wagons, rolling kitchens, auto trucks and everything else you could men- tion. “One fellow in our company met a prisoner he had worked with for two years back in old New Britain. He sed to live on Sexton street. We 1ave not received any mail lately on account of the dr The last one 1 got from you I received on September 10 and as you mailed it on April 10 | you can see how long it took to get | here. “Well sis, you can just about count on us to be home by spring and from the way things look now we may eat our Christmas dinner there. Let's hope so, anyway. This is the rainy month of the year in France and has got April weather beat a mile. “But this drive ! It was some drive and we saw some French women who had been held prisoners for four vears and they did not know that the Americans were fighting. We were | stationed in a wood before the drive and Tom Feeney's outfi was nearby. He came looking for me, but I didn’t | see him though Jack Heerey, Walter Smith and the others did. I did meet Joe Fitzpatrick, who is with Feeney’s outfit. Will have to close now he cause it is time for mess and I j can’t miss that. “Your brother, “BILL.” 'THREE | ed over to Lieut. honor | the body | tary , York where he w | tracting the disease at the camp. { condition this !

After the services in the church were concluded the funeral was turn- P. F. Duffy, who commanded the military escort of the State Guard. The escort included a guard of eight men and a guard of commanded by Second Lieut. S. 8. Gwillim. A pathetic and at the same time inspiring touch was added to the funeral as Wilson Ellis, U. §. N.; Private Glasson, who accompanied from Camp Upton; Lieut. Duffy and Gwillim, and the rest of the military escort stood rigid at salute as the body of the soldier was lowered into the grave. More pathetic ‘was the sight of the mourners as they stood around the grave while the mili- tribute, a volley of shots, w fired over the grave. Taps were sounded by Bugler Buys.

Thres deaths were reported this morning, all of which were caused by pneumonia. Dr. Bull alsa reports that the latest cases reported are mostly serious and show a ten- dency to develop nto pneumonia. As pneumonia is frequently fatal, every necessary precautian should be taken at the least sign of a | hard cold.All gatherings should be ro- restricted as possible and the chli- dren should not congregate in groups now that school is closed. When asked if the schools would re-open next week Dr. Bull stated that ho was uncertain but they will remain clased until evedy possible danger is past. Funeral of Celestia West.
