ANDERSON TELLS OF HIS TRAVELS Following it an interesting letter written by Sergeant William M. An- deraol, of Lenta, since the signing of the armistice: Well the ’ censorship has been, if net quite removed, at least it has been pried up at the edges enough so that some news of my where abouts can leak out. I am at liberty not only to tell where I am located but also tell all the battles in which I have been engaged, but I am not allowed to censor the censor or al lied governments, grumble about the grub or cast caustic remarks at the cook. Therefore, beginning at the beginning, 1 will proceed to produce a reliable record of the ramblings of a raw recruit, fiercely fighting for freedom’s flag in the gory bat tlefields of fair France. It is now nearly one year since we left Camp Mills—November 26. 1917—to be exact. We packed up all our equipment the night before and set up all night so as to be ready to start about 2 oclock in the morning of the 26th. The morning was cold and raw. Ice had formed in the pools of water along the road and the streets were rough and bumpy; but finally we managed to slip and slide and stu.nble through the dark down to the train where we played freexeout—the cars were not heated—until they detrained at the ferry landing on East River. Then down the river through the harbor of New York, under the bridge—and Brooklyn bridge looks like the picture we had in the play- up the Hudson to Hoboken, where we went on board the good ship Mallory. The Mallory was nothing but a coasting vessel fixed up for transport. She was crowded and cramped. The sanitary arrange ments were miserable and the grub— I forgot they do not allow us to cen sor these things—but I’ll tell you all about it when I get home. Suf fice to say that we nicknamed the tub—ship, I mean—maccaroni. That is what they fed us on. We sailed for France the night of November 26-27. The "last thing I remember of America was seeing the “Iron Woman" down in the harbor called Liberty over the stem of the vessel. We set forth and sailed east, and north, and south, and west, and zig zagged around and around at every point of the compass, and after two weeks of it we finally made land at St. Nazzare, where we arrived on December 10. We disembarked on OFFICER IS SELLING TICKETS FOR DANCE The police force of Portland will give their tenth annual ball at the Auditorium Friday evening, Febru ary 22, 1919. These annual balls are given for the benefit of disabled, sick and incapacitated policemen. Officer P. C. Anderson, the popular day patrolman in the Lents district, is selling tickets, and will be glad to exchange a bit of pasteboard for as many silver dollars as possible, en titling the holder to attend one of the best “hops” of the season. Don’t delay, get a ticket before night. Help along a worthy cause, and besides, possession of one of these tickets might be the means of keeping you out of the city “coop.” Material far Kuploelv«.

It was while there that they raised Ned with our company by taking about half of our boys out of it and send ing them to the first or second en gineers up at the front. The rest of us were sent to I-a Courtine on December 20, where I spent two wpeks in a hospital, the only time I have been sick since I have b?en in the army. I did not like the hos- pital very well and they would not let me go. They say I was delirious, but I think I was only normal. One day I slipped out of bed, got a club and started. I sure started something—hit one attendant over the head, and it took three of them to get me back to bed. In three days they let me go, glad to get rid of me, 1 guess We ’eft La Courtine January 21 for Goudrecourt and the first corps school, at which place we arrived January 23 and where 1 still remain. I said we left La Courtine; by that I mean part of us, for they split what was left of our company into little detachments and sent us every which way. Goudrecourt is located about 32 miles southwest of Nancy, a little more west of southwest, and about 13 miles northwest of Neuf Chateau.

J., by naval Intelligence offi cers. The man. held as an alleged spy in a jail In Brooklyn. Is said to have come from Holland and to have been employed in a silk dyeing establish ment in Paterson. His unique method of sending messages to Germany called for the use of silk hosiery of a peculiar dye. It Is said that he had received a dozen pairs of these seeks from German agents in Holland and that his method was to soak them In water and use the coloring matter which they gave forth as a writing fluid. As this dried It became Invisible until brought out by a special process, which, however, the federal agents are aald to have worked out. They, in turn, in learning the secret, opened his letters and changed the contents and forwarded the letters. The information thus received by the Germans proved of little use to them. But for a long time, It is said, there waa not enough evidence on which to convict this man. until one day through carelessness he left one of the socks where a naval Intelligence officer found It WhCu confronted with riieue photographs «re the first to reach America showing the defeated German armies retreating toward their this the man Is aald to have confessed own borders, tired end dejected.
