Among the number waa a score of ladles. The speaker. First lieutenant Kenneth M. C. Nelll, just returned from the British front In Flanders, entertained the audience with per sonal reminiscences which were of intense interest to the company. Lieutenant Nelll went to London from Grant Pass In th spring of 1915, and had difficulty In getting into th servlc, owing to the lack of equipment. He finally succeeded in entering the armor car service and was In action at the second bat tle of Ypres where the hitherto vic torious Germans were stayed at the cost of 50,0110 defenders. Mr. Nelll told or the evolution of the gas mask and remarked that he received some German tear gas, "not pleasant." When it was discovered that ar mored cars were of value only in open warfare, that branch of the ser vice was discharged and Nelll enter ed the army supply service, hauling ammunition from the. railroads to the big guns, neither a light nor a safe occupation. He told some Inci dents in the soldier's lire which were amiiHlng and entertaining. He also spoke of the Joy of the English when America finally entered the war. Mr. Nelll has several souvenirs or the war which he showed. A fine collection which he left with a broth er was struck by a bomb and "they were nnable to find any of them afterwards."
