"Do not get excited If you see my name on the casualty list, for I have only been slightly wounded. As we broke that old Hindenburg line I was in the front wave that went over, but the Huns were putting up the fight of their lives and made a great deal of trouble for us but not as much as we made for them. I literally ran over dozens of them at a time. "The order was to go to a certain place and I got there after four hours of hard scrapping. I was the only one to get through and then my tank was knocked out by the artillery and blew ,,n i .urreeded In getting my crew out. some of whom were wounded, and then dropped Into a shell noie. w nen I looker! around I was in the middle of a tierman position with the Huns on all sides of me.

The letters from Lieutenant Dunning to bis mother, written during the time lie was takinr part in the severe fight ing, are historical and Intensely inter eating. In a few words he describes the work he does while occupying the Interior of a tank going "over the top. "What I do inside is to command the tank and direct It also shoot a ma chine gun when not ousy at something else, but as 1 have a regular crew do the observing and give the orders." he writes. In very mild terms he comments upon his receiving the military cross. "I have been offtclaly recommended three times for bravery In action, besides winning the British military cross, the highest award the British can give for distinctive bravery." Members of the tank corps won !0 distinguished crosses, and special com mendation from the king of England. This famous fighting unit had the honor of being the first to break through the Hindenburg line and the experiences tliey went through while going under the hellish barrage equal and exceed any that have been related by returning heroes. -We were shooting down the Hun with our elcht machine gnrs and our Dyspeptic Makes Great Discovery Finds That Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab lets Enables Him to Eat Anything Without Distress, No Sourness, Gas.

"When I get my three medals on and my service and wound stripes on both sleeves I look like a Russian general on parade." he adds. Jokingly. "I was not affected by shell-shock, for It all depends on one's constitution and if I had stopped to worry and think about things I would have been nutty by now for it was the doctor's favorite pastime after the battles to dig shell-splinters out of me." Relief Orgaalsatleas Praised. He Is loud In praise of the work of the Red Cross. Salvation Army. Y. M. C. A. and other war-relief organiza tions. "Their work is wonderful." he says, "and without them the army could not survive. They were always around, even at the front and the first thing a Red Cross man gave me when I was brought to the first-aid station wounded was a cup of chocolate, a package of cigarettes and asked If I would like to have any word sent home." Lieutenant Dunning was in three of the major offensives of the war, and took part in the hardest fighting, ac cording to other officers who were ac quainted with him. A very interesting description Is given by lum of the de feat of the famous Prussian Guards, the pride of "Kaiser Bill." "In the last fight the Germans brought up the finest body of troops that the world has ever seen all decked out in new uniforms and equipment. They were the famous Prussian Guards. Against them was one of our new army di visions who haJ been in the lines for three days and were pretty tired. The order came for our men to go over the top. They stripped to the waist, fixed bayonets and started. Famous tiaarda Defeated. "A roloncl who was an eyewitness tokl of the whole thing. When the smoke cleared, it was seen that the Americans had not only defeated the famous guards, but were chasing them all over the lot. Pieces of those guards were round for miles around not prisoner was taken and every Yank that fell had his bayonet pointing to wards the Germans. A pretty good be ginning for a new outfit to beat the finest the Germans could produce.

Lieutenant Dunnings wife, who Is at present in Los Angeles, will prob ably meet him in Portland on his way home. He was formerly engaged in the lumber business at Hillsboro. while his brother. Carroll, was a member of the forestry service in this section. The commander of the corps- with which the lieutenant fought has stated that he Is the best tank man in the army and the many decorations received by him substantiate that statement. 1 - WELCOME ARCH ERECTED f (f ' Jv r r -CaV DR.
