MEMORIAL DAY IS NATION’S SABBATH DAY P R IV A T E D ELB ERT K E L L E Y . brothers and sisters survive: Frank, Wilbur, Mrs. Fred Jones, Mrs. John Hastings and Warren, all residents of this section. Private Kelley would have been 25 years of age had he lived until Nov. 30. The Cottage Grove men and boys, niauy of whom were in some of the fiercest fighting in all branches o f the service, seem to have been the partic­ ular care o f Providence and th« hearts of the community huve gone out to the families who gave boys in the great cause. Others dying in France were Mgt. Calvin T. Funk, o f J>jndon, and Corpora) Dan Kby. Jesse McDole died at Camp I/cwis and Bowman Hartley, u resident o f Hagiuaw uutil shortly before the war, died at sea. Riley T. Crow, of Ixtrane, died during the war on the M. M. Pitts­ burg. cause o f death being influenza. He had been in the service four years and was once u member of Hixth com puny. Corporal Kby entered the ser vice from Idaho. uanrly got the driver o f one o f our ra tions wagon*. The incident caused a lit­ tle eommutioa for a few minutes among th« men. The French had a nurrow gunge steam railroad that they used to carry their niauiunition and supplies up to the front. T£o Germans had a spy balloon up aid got a sight on the train and tried to put it out of commission. They certainly were unaware of our presence. We moved out at about 6 o'clock when it was getting dark so they could not see us. W « camped in then« woods about three days, then moved up closer to an other woods nnd stayed there about three days longer, this bringing us up to Hept. 25, IP18. While we were there myself nnd a couple o f other boys were punished for being one minute late on a detail. We were taken up to the French trenches and exchanged our overcoats and helmet* for French overcoats and helmet* and were then taken out into no man's land in front of the German trenches to cut wire entanglements for a passage for our drive. There were thousands of acres o f it. These woods were all shot up and showed signs of frequent and heavy shelling. Most of the trees were shot down; the few that were still standing were shot to pieces. Ther« was an agreement between the French and Germans that neither side ihould fire on the other and that *s the reason we were given French clothes on that wire cutting job. The French trenches were fitted up like homes. Some of them were con­ creted. , The night of the 25th we marched down o ff the hill through some timber, leaving camp about 9 o'clock. We came out on a road on which we tried to rest. About 2 o'clock in the morning, shortly after we hud arrived there, our artillery started ot bomb the Germuns and the music sure was great. We were halted out in the midst of those guns. While we were waiting to go over the top, one boy from L company was w-anilering around to satisfy his curiosity. A guard called to him, but the boy didn’t hear or refused to answer. The guard, aeting according to yrders, took no chAnees and shot. The boy died a few minutes later. The lad had disobeyed orders and had no one lo blame but himself. Just before daylight we moved out in front of the trenches. A smoke barrage was put down and also a rolling barrage, anil w> fol­ lowed that up until about 9 o ’eloek, when the barrage was lifted and we started a regular jackrnbbit drive. Company M was in the assault anil com pany K in support, but by the time a kilometer had been covered company K was leading the wny and company M was lost all the time. About noon we started a string of prisoners to the rear and from then on it was a string o f them to tho rear all the time.

COTTAGE GROVE IS ON AIRPLANE SCHEDULE A dispatch from Sacramento, Calif., gives Cottage Grove as one of the stops for airplanes returning from the rose festival. The only other points in Gre- gon scheduled for stops on the return trip are Hpringfieid nnd Grants Pass. Tho return flight will start June 14, so that the stop here probably will be made on that day or upon the following day. Eby Funeral Is H«ld.
