France—including that tragic re- gion known as “Somewhere”—came to Yonkers last night. And Mrs. Catherine Farmer, No, 20 Riverview Place, looking down into the muddy trench occupied by Company M, 9th Infantry, saw the happy face of Joe, her boy. He had smiled straight into the lene of the motion picture camera and waved his hat. So it seemed to | the mother that he was smiling and waving to her. Shaken and elated by this weird {experience in a little Yonkers movie ltheatre, Mrs. Farmer went home, hardly seeing the road as she walked. And when she got there a telegram j awaited her. The news was not as bad as It might have b but bad enough. The message was from the War De- partment, saying that Private Joseph . Farmer had been severely wounded in action, He is twenty-six years . trained old. A year ago he enliste | first at Fort Slocum, then at Syracuse, WAY TO HIS DEATH Lieut. Kaemmerling of Syra- and went to Franco in October. In a recent letter to his widowed mother he sald he had been “twice over the top.” and that he had hap- pened to be in front of a motion pic+ ture camera. “L was vight up close," he wrote, “and the picture ought to be good. It will be shown in the States, no doubt, and you must watch for it” Since then, night after night and afternoon after afternoon, Mra, Farmer has been haunting the movie shows where war films are announced. And then at last to see him, #0 close that it seemed she could reach his hand although he was thousands of miles sway—it was a supreme experience, followed by the shock of the telegram. Lieut. Robert KR. O'Loughlin, also severely wounded, lived with his brother, Gerald 8.

Powers and Anderson Are Promoted. Capt, James A. MoKenna jr, who went away with the 165th Regiment in command of Company D, has been Promoted to Major, according to army orders just made public in Washing- ton. His brother, Willlam F. Me- Kenna, who wae First Lieutenant and Adjutant of the 1st Battalion, ander Major William J, Donovan, has been promoted to Captain and Regimental Adjutant, Some time since Capt. Walter E. Powers, who sailed with the Rainbow Division in command of the Head- quarters Company, was made Divi- sion Adjutant, and it is now reported that he has also received his Majority. as has Capt. A. E. Anderson, formerly commanding Company B, No more popular men went away with the old 69th than the McKenna brothers, Both were old 7th Regi- ment men. Capt, Jim was transferred to the 69th before that regiment went to the Mexican border, and it was at the border that William won his bars and was transferred, Both were in the First Battalion when they left for France, Major James A. McKenna was a lawyer in this city when the declara- tion of war called him again to the colors. He shut up shop, drew in his shingle and went in for the life of a soldier with no thought of what was to be done after the war. He is a Harvard graduate and one of the best all around athletes ever turned out of the old institution. He ranked with Major Bill Donovan as a football coach; and he and “Brother Bill" with their team in the old 7th held the record for wall scaling. Major Walter E. Powers was regi- mental adjutant of the old 69th. He had previously served in the regular army and was a Sergeant in Gen, Per- shing’s expedition into Mexico. He has a fine record as a soldier. Major An- derson was captain of Company F. In France he was in command, tempor- arily, of the Supply Company during Capt. Mangan’s Slinesa, Whether the promot:ons mean trans- fers for the newly made Majors is not made known. It is known, however, that the majority of them would pre- for to remain with the 165th than be accorded any other command. DEFENDS ROUMANIAN PEACE.
