Private Wilburt Herman, 1214
Cameron street, who is a member
of the 110 th Infantry, was one of
the men who took part in the offen

mother, Mrs. H. G, Herman, he
says: "I suppose you will- read in
the papers about the regirrtent that
was trapped tn the Argonne Woods.
Well, we were ordered in to relieve
them, and we sure did make Fritz
sweat. It is great to rustle those
machine gun nests, especially when
we get them from the flank before
they have a chance to turn. Wo
gained all points, and are now nt
rest camp with part of the rescued
batallion. We were just in time,
as they were about 'all in.' "
Safe From Fritz
In another letter, dated Septem

a few lines to let you know Fritz
has not got me yet, although it is
not his fault for he tries pretty hard.
I see by the Telegraph, which I re
ceive pretty frequently under the

about the war than we do. I also
see what glory the 110 th is getting

10 Are Killed, 23 Hurt
by Four Explosions at
duPont Cap Works
Pompton Lakes, N. J., Dec. 6.
Eleven men were killed and twenty
three injured here late yesterday by
four explosions which destroyed the
detonator assembling building of the
duPont cap works and shook the
countryside for miles around. Fire,
which* followed- the explosions, was
confined to the one unit, and the
property loss was said to be slight.
With the first blast, hundreds of
men, women and children who had
relatives working at the plant,
hastened to the scene, but becaijße of
possible danger to them guards
barred them at the gates. As soon
as It was possible the injured were
rushed to the company's hospital at
Haskell. It is feared that four or
five of the injured may die.
Officials of the company said last
night they believed an employe at
work assembling French fuse detona
tors, which are filled with fulminate
or mercury, had dropped one. of
them. Exploding, this had set off
the stock in the building, which, of
ficials claimed, contained only twen
ty-five or thirty pounds of fulmi
nate.
The assembling building, located
on a slight hill, was widely sepa
rated from the other units, compris
ing the plant, which are scattered for
two or three miles up a narrow val
ley. The killed and injured were
all at work in this structure, but
officials said a few others also em
ployed there had escaped. The com
pany employs In all approximately
4,000 persons at its Pompton Lake
plant.

fellows are now tenderfeet in Troop

We also spent a part of the even

fair job, as the scout executive had
taught Us how to do this at the pre

"We do not have much time to
