Stackpole have gone to Staten Island to visit their son, Captain E. J. Stackpole, Jr., who is in a government hospital at Fox Hills, recovering from serious wounds received in France last summer. They hope to bring him back with them to Harrisburg for the* Christ mas holidays. The Telegraph has received a marked copy of the Latrobe Bulle tin, printed in the home town of many of the boys of Company M, which was also the home of Major Thomas B. Anderson, who was killed in the same engagement which re spited in the serious wounding of Captain Stackpole, and refers pleas antly to the services of the young Harrisburg officer as follows: . ! "Captain E. J. Stackpole, Jr., of Harrisburg, who commanded Com pany M, of Latrobe, from the time the One Hundred and Tenth went across, until the 25th of September when he was put out of action by machine gun bullets, while leading the company in an attack, was among the wounded soldiers who came to New YtfFk on the United States Hospital ship Mercy. "The vossel, carrying 396 wound ed men, some of them' on stretchers, and others able to get around on crutches, reached Quarantine Wed nesday evening from Bordeaux and docked in New York. "Captain Stackpole, it will be re called, was shot through both legs. He was removed to a base hospital in Paris —and on the 11th of Novem ber—the day the armistice was sign ed—he had recovered sufficiently to be able to take>a motor ride through the city. "Captain Stackpole, formerly asso ciated in the newspaper business; with his father, the owner of the; Hsrrisburrg Telegraph, was commis sioned at Plattaburg, and later was assigned to thd command of Com- , pany M, following the transfer of j Captain King to the headquarters company of the One Hundred and Tenth. "The new captain, because of his | skill as an instructor in bayonet. drill, was kept busy with instruction j work while the company was at 1 Hancock—and it was not until the ' regiment sailed that he assumed his; command, a complete stranger, as hd was not acquainted with any member of the company. "It was on the 28th of July when Company M and the other compa nies of the Third Battalion, entered the battle fop the first time, that Capain Stackpole demonstrated qual ifications to command. "His bravery, his coolness and his' ability to deal with emergencies, won ! him the loyal support of his men,! and the commendation of his super- ! ior officer, and from that day on, the! young officer was one of the men upon whom the major of the bat talion placed the greatest reliance. "Until he was finally put out of the fight, with bullet wounds in both, legs, Captain Stackpole was always Company M's leader, trusted and re spected, with his men ready to go with him, anywhere." 1 QftsFor Women Don't Fail to See Them Silk Gloves .'
