AVIATION ('twas evefe" Taoi)

One of the V. !., by Slater Washburn.
Houghton. Mifflia company, Boston.
The initials "Y, I." mean "Yankee
tflvision" that came from New England
and went to France to help whip the
Hun and succeeded.
The modest book that is now under
review impresses by its naturalness,
readable charm and graphic ability to
portray the actual battle scenes lived
by members of a battery of American
Artillery.
Mr. Washburn started as corporal of
the 101st field artillery of the 26th di
vision and left France after taking part
In the battle of Chateau-Thierry to re
turn to this country as an instructor.
Later, he was appointed lieutenant. He
writes also with- plenty of enjoyable
humor. His book bears this inscription:
"To the boys of C battery, 101st field
battery, 26th division, who fought and
died for the great cause, and who now
lie buried beneath the soil of France,
far from home, yet near in spirit to
those whose privilege it was "to serve
with them.' The narrative of service
related by our author begins in April,
1917. and lasts until August, 1918.
The chapter heads are: Boxford to
France; training at Camp Coetquidan;
moving to the front; our first sector
Chemin Des Dames; join the artillery
and walk; in the Toul sector: our loyal
friend and cootie; at the first corps
school Gondecourt; back to the front;
bound for Paris; and, Cha'teau-Thierry
and the second Mama. Lively descrip
tions are given of fun alrmg the march,
with mutual chaff between cannoneers
and drivers of artillery horses.

of the good work done by the Salvation
Army. We found their canteen located in
the cellar of what had formerly been

a pile of debris. Shelled beyond all ap

there goes my last nickel." It was a great
tribute rendered to a great organization.

The Iron Hunter, by Chase S. Osborne. Il
lustrated. The Alacmillan Co., itew torn
City.
Brave, stalwart and true. Just like
the honest ring of a blacksmith's ham
mer, is this "The Iron Hunter," unveiling-
the busy life of Chase S. Osborn,
afterward Governor of Michigan.
The future governor was born in the
year I860, In Indiana, and his wonder
ful life of brave self-help reads like a
romance. He is of old-fashioned Amer
ican lineage, and has lived and lives the
life of a western man. His father's
family, in our author's early boyhood.
passed from comparative ease and
near-luxury to near-privation. C. S.
Osborn became a newsboy who was
hired because he was a natural fighter.
The boy whose Job was vacant had lost
it because he allowed other boys not
only to "lick" him. but to steal his
newspapers. Procuring a revolver,
young Chase got his papers, was set
upon by the rival gang, but when he
shot into them, they fled in terror and
left him master. He was educated at
Purdue university, but admits that
there was not muYh organization or
grading, or he surely would not have
been admitted.
Securing a job soliciting subscrip
tions on the staff of the Wisconsin
Signal. Chase entered the "newspaper
game." Afterward Chase became a real
"honest-to-goodness reporter on the
Milwaukee Wisconsin at J12 per week.
May 7,-1881, our hero married. He was
21 and his wife 18 years old. He re
lates on page 81 that he gave his bride
a five-cent bouquet from the German
market, paid the preacher 82 down and
$3 on the installment plan, and paid his
tailor fr his wedding suit on the same
financial plan.
His friend Colonel J. A. Watrous ad
vised our hero to go to lawless, frontier.
wild Florence. Wis., and start a re
form newspaper. The town was "wide
open." Gamblers, bad men generally,
and lawless gangs that laughed at au
thority, ruled the place. Osborn
launched his newspaper, attacked the
lawless ones who did their best to kill
him. but didn't succeed. He "licked"
them. Some were put in-Jail and others
ran away. Florence actually became
respectable.
Fascinated by the natural beauty
of the town of Sault Salnte Marie.
Osborn chose it as a home for life, he
says on page 102. Along with his chum
Mel Hoyt. Osborn bought the Sault

ran out competitors but made money.

tered - as a republican candidate for
governor, but lost out In the conven
tion. On page 144 he states he had a
fortune of 8250,000. Then it was that
he determined to devote his life to
public service.
On page 274. it is related that Mr.
Osborn was elected rwvernor of Michi
gan by a vote of 88.270. In 1810 he
was again elected by a vote of 202.803.
with He man s receiving a vote of

Well done. Governor Osborn! Your
life is an inspiration to all others, not
to win perhaps as much money as you
have honestly 'made (although honor
able gain is good), but to have as high
ideals and to work as hard and as
faithfully.
