It was signed either John Raman j
w>r Rumman, Chicago, 111. The mes
usage was scrawled on a strip of the,

"water when he noticed the bottle,
on the beach. He saw the paper in-'

the cork, broke the bottle in order |
to get the paper out.
It is possible that the bottle floated ]
tup the Chesapeake Ray from outside 1
the capes and was brought in by the

MONDAY EVENING, '
NURSE TELLS OF
HEROIC ACTIONS
OF U.S/TROOPS
Miss Laura Gcmberling Writes
of Her Experiences in
the War Zone
MISS LACRA GEMBERLING
How an American soldier saved the
life of his Major who was operating
on a wounded soldier in the trenches,
is narrated by Miss Laura Gember
ling. a Selinsgrove girl, who writes
to her aunt. Mrs. P. V. Ritter. 1535
North Sixth street from Base Hos
pital 34, Nantes. France. In her let
ter Miss Gemberling tells how the
Major was at work, soothing the pain
of the soldier when the Germans cap
tured the trench in a minor attack.
No details of Jhe heroism are given
in tile letter but the girl praises the
soldier highly for his bravery. "I
tell you our boys are right there." she
comments, "and I am mighty proud
of them."
t -e tinny llaiidgages
Miss Gemberling's letter tells ot
the- work of the Red Cross nurse.
"Usually we had just a few wounded
men but now they are many. The
seriously wounded are daily increas
ing. We had plenty of bandgages
furnished by the Red Cross but our
supply is becoming exhausted. We
will soon have to make our own
bandgages and supplies."
Warm praise is given to the work
of the Red Cross and the Salvation
Army for splendid work being done
in the trenches. Miss Gemberling re
lates how the workers are on duty
in the thick of the tight. The so'l
diers say they are the only thing
here. If you have some money you
want to give away and don't know
how to give it. send it to the Red
Cross and the Salvation Army. They
are doing the best work here." she
relates.
Nurses Are Itusy
In her letter. Miss Gemberling says
that the nurses have been very busy
and that they are oftentimes unable
to do all of the work. The wounded
are often kept on trains for 24 to 48
hours and they are sadly in need
of attention when they reaeh the base
■ hospital.
Miss Gemberling is a Selinsgrove
girl. She left in the unit from the
Episcopal Hospital of Philadelphia
! and has been on duty in the war zone
: for many months. She has a num
ber of friends in Harrishurg.

Drive Silences Guns
Aimed Toward Paris
Paris, Aug. 12. —The long range
cannon with which the Germans
have intermittently bombarded
Paris for more than four month- [
past, has now heen silent for two ■
days. This fact may be explained j
by the allied advance toward
Noyon and Guiscard, 6Li miles
north of Noyon. whence the re
cent firing is said to have been
proceeding, as these localities are
now endangered by the French
forward push.

Itomlted in Hospital
From a base hospital in France.
Lieutenant Guy P. Brown, of the
Rainbow Division, has written a re
markable letter to his brother. Ray
!S. Brown, of Allentown. Due to
• hard work in the rain about a montn
I ago he developed sciatica and was
| sent to a field hospital for treatment.
A German aviator bombed the place,
and although the bomb exploded
within tw?nty feet of the sick officer,
he escaped injury. His cot. however,
was covered with debris, and he re
marked: Imagine me helpless, ut
terly unable to move, while I was
raging to get a shot at the scoun
' diet."
There was. however, swift retribu
tion for this example of German
t rightfulness: Near the field hos
fital was r. French pen filled with
iernian prisoners. The snme avia
tor. on the same trip, missing his
hospital target, dropped a bomb into
the pen and more than 100 of the
German prisoners were killed out
right. The carnage was frightful,
with the wounded unable to help
themselves behind the barbwire en
tanglement forming the pen.

ering from shell-shock in a French
hospital. His brother. Sergeant Ed-j
ward Matteson, is also suffering front
shell-shock. In Matteson's letter he
says: I
"We were fighting for three or j
four days and nights, with hardly!
any food and no rest, and that,
coupled with almost constant shell-1
ing. broke down nearly all of us and]
caused many cases of what they call!
'Shell-shock.' Strained nerves, that's!
all it is, and none of the cas'es is scr-i
ious. Alter a few days of good, -
quiet rest and nourishing food we'll j
all be fit and fine, so whatever you!
do, dear folks, don't worry a bit.
Division Wins New Name
"Lieutenant Swartz was killed,!
poor fellow, but Lieutenant Falknsr
is' alive, all right. He is shell-!
shocked a little, and 1 think a little!
gassed. He is in the same ward as;
1 am and is coming along tine. 1 j
don't know how all the fellows in!
our company made' out, but 1 think!
we had very few losses". Most of|
the men out ol action for the timej
being are slicll-shocked. Our regi-1
ment certainly made a name for it- j
self because of its heroic and won-'
derful action under its first baptism j
of lire, and our division is being!
called the 'lron Men.' So you ,-ee,;
dear ones, the Pennsylvania boys are I
certainly there with the goods!
"Monday, or rather Sunday, night. |
the Germans started the bigges* [
drive in the history of the war, and)
they certainly did some shelling.!
Well, D and H companies were in a]
valley and only slightly entrenched, j
Our job was temporarily to check;
the Hun in case he broke through
the French and American 'lines.
Well, he crossed the Marne, ail
right, but it cost him one .bunch of
men, believe me. He didn't get as
far as us, but his damn shells did.
He shelled our valley and position
for twelve long and awful 'hours,
and, oh. such nerve-racking hours.
We couldn't see our enemy; we
couldn't fight him back, and that
made it all the worse.
"I believe the war can't last long!
now. . German prisoners say that if
they fail in. this drive they will give
in they have failed. So I guess it
will soon be over."
P. S. Eichelberger. of Carlislf, c.qe
of the first selected men to enter
service, has been severely wounded
in France, according to word reach
ing his parents. He went to France
early in April.

TOWARD PERONNE
Germans Sacrificing Import
ant Rear Guards to Save
Their Main Forces
Pnris, AUK. 12. —The allies last
night were fighting their way for
ward with the armies of Generals
von Der Marwitz and Von Hutier in
full retreat in the direction of Per
onne. N'esles and Ham. • Important
rear guards are being sacrificed by
the Germans to insure the safety of
the main armies and there is a well
defined feeling among military critics
that the German reserves are not as
important or numerous as was orig
inally thought.
The recklessness with which the
crown prince threw them into the
battle of the Maine, drawing also
from the stock of his royal cousin.
Crown Prince Kupprecht of Bavaria,
is believed to be causing General
Ludendorff some worry.
A temporary lull may he expected |
in the fighting on the present lines,
as the Germans are desperately striv
ing to save their material and retire
their troops to the old Hindenburg
line and rectify- the front where
they intend to make their stand.
Yesterday was the fourth Sunday
since the allied high command wrest
ed the initiative from von Hinden-j
burg and Ludendorff. and apparently
Paris is already becoming as calmly
confident in victory as it was digni
fied and stoical in times of reverses.
The newspapers contain no egotis
tical comment now that the imme
diate danger to Paris is removed, but
express contentment at the turn the
operations as regards the conduct of
the war in general is taking.

PRAISES TROOPS
NOW IN FRANCE
Former Harrisburger Says
They Are Most Glorious
Soldiers on Earth
In a letter to a friend in Pitts
burgh, Hiram Schock, an attorney of
that city who formerly resided in
Harrishurg and studied law here,
has written an enthusiastic letter
telling of his experiences as a Y. M.
C. A. workers in France. A part of
the letter follows:
"I have in the past few weeks had
the pleasure of welcoming, some-!
times in England. sometimes in ;
France. Pittsburgh friends. 1 shall
not soon forget the look of absolute
amazement on the face of Captain ;
Harry Howe when I walked up to \
him in an English port and said,
'Hello, Harry.' He couldn't believe it
was 1 at first. Then on the same day
1 met Captain Schock. of Selins
grove, a cousin, and only a couple of
days ago in a certain port in France,
where many thousands of men were
tiling by, a soldier saw mo and nearly
fell out of ranks. Once lie was free
1 weht to him. It was' Harry I.
Morrow, of Ilellevue.
"Great times here in France, and
certainly it's a big thing so far for
me. I'd like to tell you one-tenth of
the things I see and hear. Not under,
any circumstances would I return
home, and my one great prayer is
that 1 may continue to keep in good
health and keep up this incompar
able work of serving our wonderful
soldier boys.
"Oh, Dgvis, we- have the most
glorious soldier boys on earth. You
may not know our boys at home.
Great heavens, you doiUt. Such sol
diers, such workers, such funny
grumblers and such incomparable

they die when necessary as Christians
and American gentlemen should.
Wonderful: Wonderful! How little
those, and here I even dftrc include
myself, who arc in this fight with
the real spirit, and 1 guess that in
cludes about all the Americans here,
care for death. The only prayer Is to
be spared from death in battle or
front sickness long enough to have
accomplished some one thing at
least that is worth while."
