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.”

A cleverly designed method of out

war by the arrest of a man In Pater

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

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
