Ketchara of Phila- delphia, formerly Esther Jano Clark of this city, has recently recovered from an attack of tho Influenza and pneumonia, according to a letter written by her to friends In this city.

FRENCH BATTLESHIP CASSARD-r7 WINNER OF THE CROIX DE GUERRE cZk CHAPTER VIII. On Runner Service. Ono night n man named Hart el nnd I wero detailed for runner servlco and wero Instructed to go to Dlxmude and deliver certain dispatches to a man whom I will call the burgomaster nnd report to tho branch staff headquar ters that had been secretly located Jn another part of town. Wo wero to travel In an automobllo and keep a sharp watch ns we went, for Dlxmude was being contested hotly at thnt tlmo nnd German patrols were In the neigh borhood. No one know exactly whore they would break out next So we started out from tho third line trenches, but very shortly ono of our outposts stopped m. Ilartel car ried the dispatches and drove the car too, bo It was up to roc to explain things to the sentries. They wero convinced after n bit of arguing. Just as wo were leaving n message came over the phone from our commander, telling them to hold us when we came. It was lucky they stopped us, for oth erwise we would have been out of reach by the time his message came. The commander told me, over the tele phone, that If a French Hag flew over the town the coast would be clear; If n Belgian, that our forces were either In control or were nbout to tako over tho place but that Germans patrols wero near. After this we started again. When we had passed the last post we kept n sharp lookout for the Hag on tho pole of the old fish market, for by this we would get our bearings nnd perhaps, if It should be a German flag, a timely warning. Hut after wo were down the road a bit ond had got clear we saw n Dclglan flag whipping around In a good, strong breeze. Hut while that showed that our troops or the British were about to take over tho place It also Indicated that the Germans were somewhere near by. Which was'not so cheerful. As we went throujjh the suburbs along the canal which runs on the edge of the town we found that all the houses were battered up. We tried to hall several heads that stuck themselves out of the spaces between buildings and stuck themselves back Just as quickly, but we could not get an answer. Finally we got hold of a man who camo out from n little cafe. He told us that the Germans had been through the town and had nhot It up considerably, kilUng anil wound ing n few inhabitants, but that shortly rfterward a small force of Belgian Invalry had arrived and driven tho Roches out. The Germans were ex pected cither to return or begin a bom bardment ut any moment and all tho Inhabitants who sported cellars wero biding In them. Tho rest wero trying to get out of town with their belong ings ns best they could. On reaching our objective we mndo straight for the Hotel de VIllc, whero wo were admitted nnd after a short wait taken to the burgomaster. Wo questioned him ns to news, for we had been Instructed to pick up any Infor mation ho might have as to conditions. But we did not get much, for he could not get about because of the Germans, who had made It a policy to terrorlzo the people of tho town. We had Just got Into tho car nnd wero nbout to start when tho burgo master himself came running out. Ho ordered us to leave the car there and said ho would direct us whero to go. He Insisted that we go on foot, but 1 could not understand when ho tried to explain why. Wo eoon saw tho probablo reason for tho burgomaster's refusal to rldo In the car. All around for about a mile tho roads wero heavily mined nnd small red flags on Iron staves wero ituck between the cobblestones, as wurnlngs not .to j)Ut Jn. much tlmo OTHERBUILDINGS BRICK & LUMBER CO.

When wo got off tho road I breathed again 1 After a great deal of questioning we Qnally reached our destination nnd mndc our report to the local coimiinnu1 tnt. We told him all we co'uld and In turn received various Information from him. Wo were then taken over to tho hotel. Here we road a few Paris newspapers, that wero several woeks old, until nbout eight, when wo had dinner, and a lino dinner It was, too. After wo had eaten nil we could, nnd wished for more room In tho hold, wo went out Into the garden and yarned n while with some gendarmes, nnd then wont to bed. We had a big room on the third floor front. We had Just turned In, nnd were all sot for a good night's rest, when there was an explo sion of n different kind from any I had heard before, nnd wo nnd the bed rocked nbout, like n cnuou In tho wako of a stern-wheeler. There wero seven more explosions, nnd then they stopped, though wo could hear tho rattle of a machine gun nt some dlstnnco uway. Bartel said It must be the forts, and nftor some argu ment I agreed with him. He said that the Germans must have tried an ad vance under cover of n bombardment, nnd that ns soon ns the forts got Into action tho Germans breezed. Wo wero not worried much, so wo did not gut out of bed. A few minutes Inter we heard foot steps on tho roof, nnd then u woman In a window ncross the street, asking n gendarme whether it wits sufo to go back to bed. Thou I got up and took a look Into the street. There wore a lot of people standing nround talking, but it was not interesting enough to keep a tired man up, so Into tho hay. It seemed nbout the middle of tho night when Bartel called me, but ho said it was time to get out nnd got to work. Wo found he had made a poor guess, for when wo were half dressed he looked nt his watch anil It was only a quarter past seven, but we decided to stay up, since wo wore that far nlong, nnd then go down and crulso for a breakfast. When wo got downstairs and found some of tho hotel peoplo It took them n long time to get It through our heads that there had been some real excite ment during the night. The explosions wero those of bombs dropped by a Zeppelin, which hud sailed over tho city. The first bomb had fallen less than two hundred yards from whero wo slept. No wonder the bed rocked I It had struck n narrow three-story house around tho corner from the liojrl, nnd had blown It to bits. Ten peoplo hnd been killed outright, and a number died Inter. The bomb tore a flno holo and hurled pieces of Itself several hun dred yards. Tho Btreet Itself was filled with rocks, and a number of houses were down, and others wreck ed. When wo got out Into the street and talked with some army men wo found that even they wero surprised by the forco of tho explosion. Wo learned that the Zepp had sailed not more than five hundred feet nbovo the town. Its motor had been stopped Just beforo tho Unit bomb was let go, nnd It had slid along perfectly silent nnd with all lights out. The purr thnt wo had thought was mncjilno gunB, after tho eighth explosion, wns tho starting of the motor, as the Zopp got out of ran no of tho guns that wero be ing set for tho nttnek. Tho last bomb had struck In a largo square. It toro a holo In tho coble Mono pavement nbout thirty feet square and five feet deep. Every win dow on tho bquara was smashed. Tho fronts of tho houses wero riddled with various sized holes.

Something aliout the branch head quarters ruins iiiadu u think of break fast, which we had forgotten, so hack to tho hotel. Then wo started buck to our lined. Wo were ordered to keep tu the main road all the way buck, or wo would ho shot on sight, nnd to re port to headijuartors Immediately on our return. I thought If tho sight of mo was so dlHtastoful to anybody, I would not tako tho chnnco of offend Ing, being anxious to bo pollto In such cases. So wo stuck to the main road. Fritz did not give us any troublo and we wero back by five, with all hand i out to greet us when wo novo In slghl. and n regular prodigal son welcome on tap, for wo wero niter than they hnd expected us, and they hnd made up their minds that some accident had happened. While I was nround Dlxmude. I snw ninny living men nnd women nnd chil dren who hnd been mutilated by tho Germans, but most of them were wom en nnd children. Almost every ono of thu mutllntod men was too old for military service. The others hnd been killed, I guess. But the Belgians wero not tho only ones who hnd suffered from German kultur. Jinny French wounded wore tortured by the Ilims, nnd we wero constantly finding the mutilated luxllei Wo Were Constantly Finding the Mutl lated Bodies of Our Troopi. of our troops. It was thought that tho Germans often mutilated it dead body as an example to the living. The Germnns had absolutely no re spect whatever for the Bed Cross. For Instance, they captured n wngon load ed with forty French wounded, and shot every one of them. I saw tho dead bodies. When the Germnns camo. to Dlr mudo they got all the men and women nnd children nnd mndo them march beforo them with their hands In tho nlr. Thoso who did not were knocked down. After a while somo of them saw what they were going to get, nnd being as gntno sports ns I ever heard of, tried to fight. They wero finished off nt once, of course. Tho former burgomaster hnd been shot nnd finished off with nn ar, though ho had not resisted, becnuso ho u-ntitfl n nave tho lives of his citi zens. They told mo of one case, In Dlx mude, whero a man came out or ins houne, trying to carry his futher, n man of eighty, to tho square, whero they wero ordered to report. Tho old man could not ralso his hands, so they irni'fixi his son uwnv from him, knocked the old man In tho head with nn nx, ond left him thero to die. Thoso who were spared wero mudo to dig tho graves for the others. There was n doctor thcro In Dlx mude, who certainly deservos n mili tary cross if uny tnnn ever did, Ho wns called from his houso by tho Ger mans nt G :30 ono morning. Ho left his wife, who hud hud n baby two days beforo, In tho house. Ho was taken to tho squure, lined up against n wall with thrco other big men of tho town. Then ho snw his wlfo and baby being carried to tho square on a mnttresH by four Germans. He begged to bo nl lowed to kiss Ids wife good-by, and they grunted him permission. As hu stepped uway, there was n rattle nnd tho other men went West.
