The* corporal's account, of the Hal we'en celebration follows; "Up the Line, Nov. 1, 1918. Tile most remarkable liallow n party ever held within range of .e German guns wrs held in a de rted French mansion o:i th Hue .nbow m the town of P last glit. A ten-piece orchestra, the .usslo hits of Broadway a year ago and Prance to-day, songs lhat trough tack memories of pre trench days nnd encouraged thoughts or what we'll do after the war; pumpkin and prune pies, home-made candy, coflee as only the doughboy can serve it—these were the high spots of a remark able evenlpg, a night crowded with the best things the One 'Hundred and Twelfth orchestra could offer and an occasion that surpassed any other so far us the culinary aspect was concerned. "The boys want to make it plain that it was hold at 'Pat' Doyle's French mansion—but the house, in fact, wh.i h has bei n a home of lux ury lor a th zeu of lads for the past twelve da> s, in reality belongs to one as much as to the other, and ♦ when the orchestra eame, with in struments, traps and trappings, und llontz arrived on the scents with his pies and pastry, and Evan Holmes stained in with plates full of home-made candy—the kind that has made many a Hallowe'en In the good old U. S A. famous—well, say, boy! The doughboys who were honor guests at this party were happy—happy In spite of the fact that long-range German guns, lo cated somewhere over there in the Bois do , were bang ng away, scattering shots around the hills and in the other section of the town. "And up here in the mansion the orchestra was playing 'lreland Must I Be Heaven* while the Germans tried to make it hell. Classic hits of oth er days—naming them only adds to th> 'coolness of the delight these doughboys enjoyed—were on that rc i.ttraa to ptug.am. The evening opened witli 'ln San Domingo,' fol lowed by 'Down Honolulu Way,' and then the orchestra struck up 'Sweet Little Buttercup.' Candles flickered from the hastily-constructed chan delier, and old, worn-out rugs, hung up at the windows to screen the light from watchful Hun aeroplanes, added a luxur.ant aspect to the scene. Old King Louis'XVl in his . palmiest days couldn't have experi ; enced more real delight than these i boys, who listened to the lilting, i swinging notes of 'Sweet LittlS But i lercups'—and each fellow secretly wished that his best girl m.ght be on the spot at just that particular tune. When the Band Plays "The evening went speedily. Fatlma cigarets, Melaohrinos und Lucky Strikes curled upward in smoke as' one selection after an other signaled the passing of a re markable occasion. 'Aly Sweetie,' 'Teach Me to Smile,' 'How's Every Little Thing in Dixie'—bringing back memor.es of good old Camp Hancock days and those carefree moments back home —vied with 'Mr. Jazz Himself,' 'Parisian Max ixe,' 'Liberty Bell' and famous old 'Joan of Arc' for a place in the spot light. Then the orclustra swung into more thought-producing, mem ory-inviting, tantalizing whlrlw.nd dance numbers—'Wasn't It Yester day," 'The Pennsylvania Volunteers,' tnu even 'So.ue Sunday Morn.ng.' Each seemed better than its prede cessor, and the fast-accumulating enthusiasm of the doughboys hard ly knew any bounds. "During those famous old train ing days at Hancock, when the boys double-timed it out to the drill field, the One Hundred and Twelfth Band blared and blazed away with 'Some Sunday Morning'—and so there was more than pass ng interest in the playing ""of this' particular number. 'Underneath the Stars' (and it was a starry night outside at that) 'Kangaroo Hop' and, characteris tically, 'Over the Top' brought the musical program to a successful conclusion, it was only 8.15 then, but tiic orchi stra had been playing away for two solid hours, feasting |on the appreciative applause and encouragement of delighted listen ! ars. They could be described as spectators', too—for the fellows were looking on the bright side of the war game, enjoying to the full- Auto Robes —Gloves Spot Lights Sponges—Chamois Accessories i P. is.

And 'up the line,' by the way, is not so far away as many might suspect. Pics • Appreciated "The splendid part of it was, when the musical program was over, thai an equally enjoyable oc i elision as to followO-the pies that iioy llontz, of Lansiord, Pa., had worked all day to bring and oat.e i to the point of perfection; the candy that Evan Holmes had made and which otilcers, in to take a peek at the party, thought was worthy ot a bribe —nut to speak of more cigars, n ore cigareis, cofleo In abundance and cakes, Y. tyX.

Isles, of New York City, cornet; Silvan Hilliard, of Oil City* l saxophone; Major Olmes, of Oil | City, violin; James Mitchell, of Oil i City, cornet; Ralph Van Wye, as- I sistant band leader, of Niles, Ohio. "When the musical part of the evening's program had come to a conclusion and the oflicers had van ished, the doughboys brought out their 'feed'—and for the next hour and a half the real Joy of the even ing reigned. Participating in the repast were some of the notables of the rear echelon —the temporary untitled 'counts' of the French man- ■ sion: Earnest H. Mudgett and Emanuel Harnett, of Gloversv.ille, N. Y.; J. Fred Dolle, Headquarters I Company, of Huntingdon; John O. Shearer, l-leatlquarters Company, of Hershey; John D. Davis, Company B, of Lansford; Gerald A.

Schriver, Head quarters Company, of Harrisburg, who is Colonel Rickards' own chauf feur, was there for part of the'fes tivities, duty calling him elsewhere —'somewhere in France' —for part of the night. Memories , "No bombs dropped from Hun airplanes, no shells fired from men acing guns, not an untoward Inci dent, not even a trifling accident, marred the passing of this last day of October 'up the line' for these happy doughboys. A few had seen and experienced the joys of Aix-les- Bains, but most of them had grown' hardened to the fighting game through days and nights of hiking, through actual participation in it, through doing the 'heavy pert' of the struggle 'over here'—and in . these moments of relaxation they found the t-njoyment real delight, doughboy made and doughaoy en , joyed. # "When the day comes to move to another sector, when the word conies to take up a new place in the line, when these same fellows 'sling packs, shoulder rifles and Ijmrrch on, they will still have niem j ories of the Hallowe'en spent on the Rue. Rainbow in the town of IP , up the line 'somewhere in France.' There have been many j happy moments of relaxation, some times far apart, to be sure—but It | only takes such an occasion as that |on October 31st to prove that the j doughboy is still persistently cheer ful, contentedly hopelul and, withal, i the thorough soldier that a loving | homefolk has often pictured him— ■ fun-loving, grateful to a fault and hard-working to a point of exhaus tion. | "Memories of old Rue Rainbow I and the great French mansion , known as Doyle's above-ground | dugout—may they grow richer with ; the passing months and years." Belgian Fighters Get Food Carried by Airmen; Roads Were Impassable Dunkirk, France —Thirteen tons 1 of food were carried by the British Royal Air Force and the Belgian , Air Force to several divisions of the Belgian army which had advanced heyond the Houthulst Forest in Bel gium, early In the Allied off ens ve in the Belgian sector and sustained those troops during the period in which they were cut off from sup plies owing to impassable roads* • his is believed to be the largest) scale in which supplies were ever 1 lelivered to troops by airplane. J Continuous rain, shell fire, and j artillery fire had ground the roads! out of existence. They were trans- i formed into channels of deep mud. j By evening the general In command I of the Belgian forces reported thej supplies of food had been exhausted. \ Would it be possible he inquired, to i 'end food up by airplane? The nj swer was mat it would, and: the task was assigned to men of* ihe Belgian Air Forces and to the : in th group of the British Royal Air Force. Their job was to deposit army ratio • n p uu to which j pg but a bird or an airplane i id peuou ate. It hus been done before, of course;! he gfirrison of Kut received sup-! plies by air, and ammunition and the* like have been dropped ut various places. But it had never been at-! tempted on such a scale. The cases of rations were broken 1 up into appropriate parcels, and these v. ere packed In sacks of earth ! to cu. hion them for the fall; while upon ihe front :he huugry divisions prepared the dumping gi builds and marked them with large white crosses. Some e ghty machines shared the work, including a squadron of the! fifth group's two-sea tess. They i lilted their loads easily, and one by ! one they dipped to the front—it was the frontp too and close to the line—ana dropped them ovei board to the cheering reception commit tees below and returned.
