Attention! ; "Somewhere in the Battle Lines "God Only Knows What Date . "I Forget and Don't Care. "To the Folks of the Rose City : j "Into the thick of the fighting again and ducking them more than ever, but in a more scientific way, as we have to duck the snipers' machine gun fire noWjIoo, but we are getting them. Fritz leaves them behind chained; to their guns with orders to hold till the reserves come up. 1 think he-means the Yanks, and we sure don't let these birds pull any kamerad stuff. "We sure are giving. Kaiser Bill all that is coming to him. By the looks of the prisoners that we are taking he is putting every body into the paper uniforms that he can find; anybody that can pull a trigger, and. the first thing they do when thev get up to the line is to beat it for the rear in double time or wait and get taken, as they say that life is not worth living in the land of sauer kraut. 1 They all have big grins on and seem tickled to death to be taken prisoners. The other morn three M. P. were taking in over 500. Can you imagine three Huns taking that many Yanks ? No, it would take twice that-many Huns to that many Yanks. AGGIES ARE LOSINGOUT TN PLAYERS CHICAGO, Nov. 7. (I. N. S.) Charles Evans Jr., national open and ama teur golf champion of the United States, has joined the aviation service, and ex pects to be assigned to-ateervice field in a few days. Influenza Claims Cook of Wallacut Marshfleld, Xov. 7. Sidney Roorer, cook on the barge Wallacut, which was wrecked off Took Bay several days ago. died Tuesday at Mercy hospital In North Bend. Influenza was the cause of his death, which was hastened by the ex posure suffered When the barge was stranded In the breakers. Hunt Club to Hold Chased on Saturday The Portland Hunt club will hold a senior closed paper chase on Saturday (arternoon. James Nicol. M. F. H., an nounces that the start will be at 1 :30 o'clock? from the Portland Riding acad emy and promises an exceptionally fine trail. Someone somewhere described the chronic grouch as a man with one foot In the grave and the other on a banana peel. Do you' remember about three years ago when the papers used to say thou sands of gray uniforms are passing over the roads and all ' you can hear is the sound of rolling wheels of dins and their uniforms are the same color of the very ground that they walk -on? Well today it's just the opposite. Those men are all retreating and are being fol lowed by men with kahkl. The sound of wheels is no more. It is all off. We are the guns now firing, and we're giv Inr that gang that invaded Belgium and other towns Hell' and are Uckled to do it. Story Worth Something "If a guy ever gets out of this alive he sure will be able to gojiome and tell a story that will be worth a pile of big beers to listen to. But I guess that standing around the bar is a thing of the past. At that, wouldn't it be great to put your feet on the rail and order up a couple and say, "We sure gave em hell at the Marne? "We are now in the American crack, shock division, and go wherever 4hey wnt to start something. Our batteries of 75's, are the first line of guns and we see all the action Uncle Sam promised to show us last July when we enlisted. 'See active service with Battery A.' He sure has kept his word. "No Thanks, Bill" "Say. Bob, you ought to be under one of these barrages that-we are putting up. These 75s shoot like machine guns and, boy ! they just rock you to sleep if they don't hit you. When you pass over some of the ground that you have Just shelled, you can't figure how in hell any one can gat from under that fire. Well, they don't get away, the ground is cov ered with Fritzles. "1 can't figure where Kaiser Bill gets all this 'Gott mit uns' stuff as we get mittens from the Red Cross, but just now we don't need them as the weather Is not cold. Everything the Dutchmen wear they have that saying on. I was just thinking of sending home' some of their uniforms to Judge Mc Credie so his Colts could use them. Maybe they might win a gamer now and then. Fall For Castle Staff "Who was the guy that said : 'See Europe first?" If he meant any part of what we have seen and, believe me, "we have seen 'Boocko' of It as this Is our fourth front, he sure forgot that in America we nave a million things bet ter than they evec dared to have over here. Of course, they have old castles, but what's that? We have an bid one on the hllL If we tell some green pea that some pill roller got hung there way back in 1917, he would have to be lieve it. That's what they tell you over here and of course we guys from Oregon are hayseeds and we all for it. We Just got through shelling some jerk water burg down the line and a French Gen. got all het up about it as we moved it clean out. He said you Yanks have destroyed one of our most wonder ful towns, where we hold our big meet ings. Frits had a machine gun nest in there bo we had to haul him out and we did, and, also, the old meeting place went with him. If Frits thinks that the Yanks won't shell them he wants to haul out, as we don't care if it's St. Johns or Llnnton, we'll bowl them over just as II they were tenpins. Are Mach Too Kongo Kaiser Bill says that the Yanks don't fight fair, as we shoot too fast and don't give his men time to protect themselves. That's too bad, Bill, but you know what the great American, Gen. Sherman, said about war? Well, he only spoke of a sham battle that they used to have in the old days, when Bill's ex friend Bismarck was in the chair. Bill can tell Bis all about it soon..

Streetcars will scare us and when some guy comes down the street and blows his klaxon we will grab our gas mask, as that is a gas signal here.And when a tire blows out we will dive for a curb or some place) to hide, as that is what we do here. A fellow can find many little holes to fall ln when a shell hits close. I can im agine going down Washington, street in a new suit of civies and walking up to some lunch counter and getting a dish of slum. But to get on a Montavilla car and get off at Twenty-eighth and E. GUsan and put my hob nails under my mother's grub table and sleep in a nice soft feather bed and no bugle or shells to keep whizzing over my head all the time, what will that be' to me? Good God, man, don't ask me. Keeping Bight After Him "Well, boys it's time to haul as we are going to sart after Fritz again, as he la sending over some. We will have to move ln on him.
