WEELKY SOLDIER LETTER
Mrs. Emraa McDonald, one ot the
prominent pioneers ot Oregon City, is
in receipt ot an interesting letter trom
her grandson. Lieutenant Carl Moore,
with the 167th Field Hospital, 117
San Train, written at Neuauaher,
Oermany, December 23, 1918.
The. letter is as follows:
"Dearest Grandma:
"It is about Christmas time again,
so will drop you a line. My other let
ter ot about two weeks ago was writ
ten while we were on the march to
Germany, should roac.n you very short
ly after the big fete.
"Before I forget it, will mention
that I mailed you yesterday some
handmade handkerchiefs, and a col
lar, and an extra fluffy "ma gifcg" for
it. Am mighty sorry we arc not some
where near one of the big cities of
France, for I could have done much
better. Hope it reaches you O. K.
"We reached our destination about
five day ago. "Gram," she is a great
stopping place. It Is one of the his
watering places of Europe, the same
point from which comes the well
known Appollinaris mineral water.
We take baths In It, and they are
great. I soaked for about tw o hours the
first time, and take one dally. It
seems mighty fine to have all the
comforts again, after one wild orgie
of the past few months.
"We are billeted in one of the big
hotels of the place, and enclosed you
will find a picture of it. The rooms are
luxuriantly furnished no c.ieties
and the roofs don't leak, so I don't
have to get up in the night and move
the bed, as we -used to do.
"We are about 10 miles from Cob
lenz, and about four miles from the
Rhine river. We hope to stay right
here until sailing time. What more
could we want? It was pretty hard on
me to be so suddenly dumped into
such a soft spot.
"The baths are wonderful. Each
room contains a regular little pool.
The sunken bath tubs all made of til
ing. Pools are almost big enough tc
swim in.
"We have a wonderful mess. Wei
have a German chef cooking for us.
who is an artist Never ate better in
my life. Some class to his being on
we went through a little hit ot some
thing getting here.
"Hoping you had another good, old
I the winning side, but say, I'll tell you,
fashioned Christmas and that the com
ing year finds you better and enjoy
ing life as usual.
"I do hope to be home before many
months, but do not know when.
"With love,
"CARL."
A letter has been received from
Sergeant Joe Scherzinger, of Com
pany C, 364th Infantry, this having
been written to his parents, Mr. and
Mrs. John Scherzinger. The young
man's mother died a few days after
the letter was written, she having
passed away January 10, 1919. The let
ter is as follows:
St. George Da Rosa,
January 2, 1919.
"Dear Parents:
"We have landed at our new home,
so will drop a few lines. We are now
at St Georges da Rosa, about 10
miles west of Paris. Just came down
from Herzule, France, close to the
Belgium border.
"The last letter I wrote was from
Meulbere, Belgium. While we were
at Herzula some of ns got a 48-hour
pass to Dunkirk, went in on trucks;
had a pretty good time, while we were
there.
"Well, I don't know just when we
will be back, but it won't be many
months. I think we will leave here
about the middle of next month. You
will know when we land In the United
States.
"I have seen In the papers that we,
the 91st Division, have a very good
reputation In the States. We are just
as good as the papers claim we are,
and may he a little better. We all
- want to get back as you people want
us back, but we have to wait our turn.
"Will close for this time, so hope
you and all the folks are 0. K., be
cause I am.
"Remaining as ever,
"Your loving son,
"JOE
"Best regards to all."

Walter Bennett of this city, has re
ceived the following letter from Ser
geant Otto F. Hogg, a well-known
young man of Oregon City, who Is
with Compafay L, 361st Innfantry, and
is as follows:
. . Crombeke, Belgium,
a . : .Christmas Day.
"How do you do, Walt Old Boy?
t "This may be an awful surprise to
- i - mil n t '- " i-
I know you have a good constitution
and are always prepared to meet any
miss emergencies. I have thought oi
you many times, but have been so
busy and when I wasn't busy, have
always been ot a place whore It was
Impossible to write, sometimes not
even having an opportunity to let
the folks hear from me.
Since leaving the States, I have had
a great many experiences .although
my trip across to our first landing at
Glasgow, Scotland, from there to
Southampton, England, and from
there to Lallavre, France, all seem
very interesting but are of nnor Im
portance compared to the first time
over the top and the battles our out
fit has gone through since then.
"After a ride of two days in box
cars, those little cars that hold 40 men
or eight horses, we landed in Sarcey,
France, which is along the Swiss bor
der, put up In billets which ana barns
or anything with a root on, where we
remained for about one month and
made our final preparations to go
over the top.
"We flnal'y left Sarcey on foot
which has been the kind of transporta
tion furnished as for most of our
travel through France and Belgium.
and after hiking a week or two and :
being in support of two or three bat
tles, including the St. Mthiels. the
time finally came when we were to
lead, our company In the first wave.
which wag In the Argonne forests;
which you, no doubt, have read abopt j
in the papers. j
"On this front there had been but
very "little fighting in the lust fourj
years, the Germans and French be
ing on very good terms, often having!
little parties amongst themselves.
When we finally arrived to take the
sector, which was at night, as all the:
hiking was at night, the French were
walking around on top of the trenches
with lanterns, however, this didn't
last long after the Yanks got there.
"We arrived here about one or two
o'clock in the morning and went over !
the top about 5:30. The Germans had!
a fine position, a big hill, but our
barrage was so terrific there wasn't j
a foot of ground that wasn't torn to
pieces holes all the way from 5 to
20 feet deep so you can imagine
what it is to be in a place like that.
It was one of the prettiest sights I
ever saw, those shells exploding on
that hill, and one of the most dan
gerous for any one on the hill.
"Although space will not permit go
ing into details this drive lasted nine
days and when we were relieved we
knew we had been somewhere, that
is, what was left of us. We were
surely happy when we were relieved,
only to go in again a couple of days
Tater into a place just as bad if not
worse for about nine days more.
"I'll tell you, Walt, any man who
loves excitement surely got it there.
After being relieved the second time
we took another two days' ride to the
Flanders front, where our organiza
tions were re-outfitted and filled up
with new men. After a short stay here
we made another drive Into Auden
arde, Belgium, our company being
the first In that town. The town was
conisderably damaged by German
shells and many civilians killed. Here
we were relieved again, this time by
the French, who held the lines while
we went to the rear for three or four
days.
"Audenarde is a good-sized town,
the Escout river flowing through it,
the Germans blowing up all the bridg
es and taking their positions on the
other side where they had a fort on
the hill. On the 10th of November, the
day before the armistice was sign
ed, we came back to cross the river
and take this fort with L company in
the lead again but as the armistice
was signed the 11th we did not have
this job to do, and I don't think' there
were any men who were sorry, as I am
afraid there would have been a blank
where L company stood.
"Although, Walt, this is but a brief
outline I hope it gives you an Idea of
what a good time a person can have
here In a short time. I have not been
hurt myself but have had three very
close ones, one piece of shrapnel tear
ing a hole In my blouse at my shoul
der about 4 inches long, another piece
went through my canteen, and I had
my finger shot up a little. Those are
the ones I knew were close; don't
know about the rest of them. But
now it is all over and I don't think
it will be long until I am back to
the little town by the falls.
"By the way! Walt, I want to thank
you for the Enterprise, or for your
donation to have It sent to me, as I
surely enjoy a little news from home
once in a while. All I can say, Walt,
is your heart is aa big as your head,
but I will try and repay you when I
get back.
"Will close. Hope this finds you well
and happy and also regards to the rest
of my friends there, and also your
wife, I am
"As ever your friend,
"OTTO."

In a letter written to his parents by
Orlando November 30, ho gives some
ot his experiences, among them being
when the boat was torpedoed. In part
of the letter he has headed;
How If Feels to be Torpedoed
"Our ship, in w hich we had no lack
of confidence, as she was In convoy
a.ul had a good gun crew, stopped
dead after a few grindings and grum
blings in the engine room. The tur-
bine had stripped so we were now;
helpless. Other ships In the couvoy!
passed us, wishing us good luck. Then ,
about ten m!aute3 later, being a few
minutes before 6 P. M., we saw and;
heard a big explosion on the starboard
side of one of the ships in our con
voy ahead of us. It was unquestion
ably a torpedo, though some of us

were real lively ion awhile. Shots
were fired and I believe a torpedo
was fired at our escort, a French cruis
er, which went wild In the wake of
or. All the ships wore zigzagging
and huddling together like frightened
sheep. We expected to be the next vic
tim, but such was not the case. Fin
ally, our convoy passed on out of
sight rn the horizon firing shots con
tnioally. The armed yachts convoy
ing is came back to pick up tue crew
of the other ship, which had taken to
the lifeboats. We told her l mea.ia
of flags and blinkers that we were!
helpless, and our injuries unrepair
able. One yacht stayed by us, while
tho others joined the convoy.
"We now knew submarines were
near, as the yachts were dropping
"ash cans" (the marine term for
derth charges), all around us until
they fer.ad out we were helpless.
"We dropped our sea anchor and
waited for rTitz' to pickle us. Dark
ness came, arid we began to think he
had forgotten ns, but he hadn't. He
waited until midnight that night
when we were changing watches in i
the engine room, and then sent us
two, one hitting In tho fire-room kill
ing four men and wounding three or
four others, and the other hitting di
rectly under tho bridge. Water began
to pour in everywhere, Harry and I.
by chance, being asleep at the time
(the other operator being on watch)
were rudely awakened by the two
explosions.
Harry made his station all right,
but I bad to go to the starboard site
where my abandon ship station was,
but in my path was a booby hatch,
which had its covers blown off. I tum
bled on the hatch cover, and picked
myself up unhurt, but badly shaken,
as I tried to ascend the bare bulk
heads with the aid of some canvas
the hatch cover which was hanging
down. This not availing I could think
of no way but help from outside to
lift me from my prison, so used my
lungs, which brought one man, who
tried to lift me by hanging over and
giving me his finger tips, but this was
impossible, so he next tried a blan
ket, which was wet and oily, but this
was not long enough, and was too slip
pery, so I yelled for a rope, knowing
that I could slip my foot Into a noose
and be hauled to safety. This was o?
complished with great labor by the
second party of rescuers, who arrived
from the after-gun, where they had
been trying to get sight of the sub
marine. "We proceeded to lannrh a life
raft, all the life boats having been
taken. We launched the raft after
quite a little work, having first made
fast a line to It so it would not drift
away. In launching this raft a life
buoy light was knocked overboard
This threw a brilliant yght on our
embarkation from the boat for which
we were not very thankful.
"I looked Into the radio shack and
saw that Jack had left, so I got ready
to go with what was left on board
We managed to get on the raft, and
Mr. Stevens, the offleer, among us,
let himself down into the water, and
shoved the boat off with his feet.
"The water now pouring over
the derk from which we shoved off
was oily and smeary. I remember this
well, as I haven't got That out of my
trousers yet.
"We were aroused by shouts from a
'mat about twenty-five feet away to
mt out that light, but as It was a car
ide light water only served to make
t burn brighter, so we could not put
t out. We were expecting shell fire
ny minute if the U-boat was around
Ve went alongside the boat, which
ontalned only three men, an ensign
.nd two seamen. These had seen the
boat floating by on the port side, and
had jumped overboard and swam to it,

boat was blown clear ever the stack
and landed on the ether side. At any
rate It was blown from Its davits by
the explosion.
"We now rowed around until morn
ing, keeping the life raft in tow, us
we thought she might contain some
of tho tilings that we might need, In
case we stayed at sea before being
picked up.
"The next morning we pulled along
side a bout in which I saw- Harry, and
was considerably relieved .though I
felt sure he was safe us ho hud gotten
ready sooner than I.
"Our calculations showed that five,
engine-room men were missing. We
deemed these killed by the explosion.
"We took our executive offleer und
the doctor back to tho ship, as they
wanted to get some clothing being in
B. V. D.'s. We made the trip there and
back but conditions on board the craft
looked very dangerous so our stay was
not very long. We were picked tip
about 7 or 8 eight o'clock by the V.
S. S. Burrows, a torpedo boat that was
helping convoy some cargo ships, that
were returning.
"The Burrow's crew took our cap
tain and their raft in and other offic
ers back to look over the ship. They
got the most valuable papers left on
board, and compasses, gun sights,
etc., as they decided she would go
down soon, nearly everything being
full of water. .
"The Burrows circled about the
West Bridge while the crew's boat
was riffling her of what valuables
could be gotten. The crew of the Bur
rows got most of our clothes and val
uables as prizes, as we, of course,
had abandoned her. Some of the fel
lows managed to get back and get
their clothes, but none of us radios
were so fortunate Harry, however
asked one of the radio fellows tor his
watch, which he found out they had.
I did not get mine.
"That day about 10 A. M. we saw
the Montana go down. When we left
water was bursting from the vents on
the upper or boat deck of the torpe
doed West Bridge. That afternoon
about 4 o'clock the Burrows sighted
what she thought was a submarine
but which turned out to be a little
dory In which six French fishermen
were huddled. They had their fishing
smack sunk by shell fire from a sub
marine and were compelled to get
Into this little boat. They were cer.
tainly glad to . get aboard, as they had
been out a couple of days In the little
dory, which was no larger than a wash
tub.
"We arrived In Brest without any
thing else of interest happanlng.

The following is a letter received
by Rev. and 5Irs. V. T. Mllliken from
their son, Frank, in France:
Dec. 26. 1919
"Dear Folks:
"Have a short time off, so I will
write a few lines to let you know that
we are still in France. It Is the day
after Christmas, and although I am
still so full that I don't feel like doing
anything I must write to tell you what
a dandy feed we had. Turkey, dress
ing, canned corn, mashed potatoes,
brown gravy, bread, butter and des
sert, then, after eating until we were
almost suffocated, we were called
back and given cake, apple sauce and
good 'chocolate fudge with "beaucoup"
nuts In It. It surely was a dandy feed,
and tho only thing which could
have helped It out would have been
to have had It at home with you
folks.
"Well, Dad, I guess you'll soon be
one year younger. Believe me, I wish
I was back on that date to have a
wrestling match with you (although
I'd be thrown In about two shakes),
or to take a big stroll out through
the woods and have a good talk. We'll
have many of them when I get back
I can now understand why Mr. Latour
otto and Kenneth take that trip to the
mountains every year together. A fel
low doesn't realize how much e real
ly does miss folks until he goes away
somewhere.
"Mother, your birthday is over, and
although I didn't send you a present
this year I remembered you on that
date, and when I get home I'll sure
prove It to you. Might add that I think
we'll be home by Wes' and Sis' birth
days. France is surely full of American
soldiers. Every village has five hun
dred or so. I can't believe that there
are only two million of lis here. You
can not walk a mile anywhere in
Southern France without seeing a
Yank. ",

You can't guess where I ant, no, not

away over here In Germany. I Lay
away over, because It took us u
month's hard hiking to get here.
"I am about twenty-five miles from

were driving the Boehe out of Sedan,
and we have hiked every step of the

I have been on. I have been on the
Lorraine, Champalgne, Marne, Toul
and Verdun. On the Champalgne front
In front of Chalons whon tho Ger

July 15; on the Marne at Chateau

like two hundred and thirty days,
find the remainder of the time was
spent. In going from one, front to an
other, and in all that time we were
never out of range of the enemy's ar
tillery, so you see we have done some
righting.

A WOMAN'S RECOMMENDATION.
Mrs, D. T. Tryor, Franklin Avonuo,
Otsego, O.; wrltea: "Nine years ago
I was very much afflicted with kidney
trouble. I bought different kinds of
medicine, but all to no effect, until one
day I bought a box of Foley Kidney
Pllla. I realized so grent a benefit from
the use ot that box that I concluded
