After an unsuccessful attempt had

Announcement that both the

filled with members of the crew, left I
the ship for the outlying rescue ves- !
sels. j
State Man on Boat
One of the first four ashore was I
Lieutenant Joseph Logan Wilton, I
whose home is in Pennsylvania. As |
soon as they were landed, the soldiers |
wer e taken immediately across the I

boats waiting to carry them across j
Great South bay to Bay Shore, seven |
miles away. Meantime the lifeboats
and the coastguard boat returned I
for more troops.
In Best of Spirits
Tile first men to land declared the \
stranded troops were in the best of j
spirits. One said that when lit- i
transport grounded early yesterday i
morning the men thought thev
reached Hoboken and went on deck to j
look at the harbor. Some of the |
troops did not know, lie said, that the
Northern Pacific had gone ashore un
til after breakfast, several hours
later.
While the troops were being loaded
into the lifeboats alongside, the |
Northern Pacific's band was playing j
lively airs.

THURSDAY EVENING,
FOUGHT FOE WITH MACHINE
GUNS SET UP IN CELLARS
The story of during machine gun
and infantry lighting in the final
campaigns that led to the defeat of
the Germans in France is told by
lieutenant Edmund \V. Gilpin, a
nephew of State Librarian Thomas
Lynch Montgomery, to his father.
He says the army had a "July
Fourth celebration every night" and
liis part in the eounter-oftensive of
July 18 is as full of thrills as one
Friday, Nov. 29, 1918.
Dear Dad:
This coming Sunday is to be
"Dad's Day" in the A. E. F. when
all the boys are supposed to write
to their fathers describing their ex
periences. As the censorship regula
tions have not permitted us to say
anything of interest heretofore, I am
going to take advantage of the lift
ing of the ban and shoot you an
earful so you can tell what has been
happening to your young hopeful
since he left the shores of God's
country.
We landed at Liverpool on the
Hth of May. 1 think it was. We
were in Liverpool for about thirty
six hours and were then packed on
trains and went across Englund to
Folkestone, which was quite a sea
side resort on the Channel before
the war. The trip was made across
England during daytime and also
the most beautiful time of year. We
stayed all night at Folkestone and
from there went to Dover where wo
embarked and landed at Calais a
couple of hours later. We then went
to what the British call a rest camp
why, heaven only knows, and that
night, our first in France, we were
treated fo our first experience of air
raids. We stayed in Calais three
days and were then treated to our
first experience of riding in box
cars labeled "Homines 4 0 Cheraux
8." Wo traveled all day and night
and landed at place called Henne
veux which is about 15 kilos from
Boulogne. It was there that I went
to a British machine gun school.
We were there two weeks and then
hiked three days to Hesdin where
we entrained and rode two days and
nights to Xantouillet, which is about
30 ki os outside of Paris and on the
outskirts of Meaux. We were there
about ten days and always had a
July 4th celebration every night, as
it was the time when the Boche
planes bombed Paris and they flew
directly over us, both coming and
going. From there we went in
Camions, known in the states as
auto trucks and in England as lor
ries to Artonges, which was directly
behind the line in the Campagne
front.
In this particular sector the Boche
line was on one side of the river and
the Allies on the other. We then
started taking our regular turn in
the line by relieving the French.
Everything was pretty quiet at that
time as everyone was waiting the
coming of the Boche offensive.
Trench warfare of that kind is not
so bad. As long as you are careful
and don't expose yourself you are
all right.
On July 14, however, tilings took
a different turn. The Boche laid
down his hurrage at midnight and
came over at 4.30 a. m. You know
of course, what the result was and
it really was that scrap, officially
known as the second battle of the
Marne. which turned the tide in
INTREPID GAIDAr
AND MEN DESTROY
BOLSHEVIK ARMYj
Czecho-Slovak General Takes
;
111,000 Prisoners; Lenine
Escapes From Train
By Associated Press
Vladivostok, Jan. 2.—ln capturing
Perm, in the Ural mountains. Gen- ;
' eral Gaida, at the head of Czecho-
I Slovak and Siberian forces, virtu
ally destroyed the Bolshevik third
j army from which he took 31,000
j prisoners. General Gaida's troopsi
I captured an armored train from 1
I
' which Nikolai Lenine, the Bolshevik |
i Premier, was directing operations
!in the region of Perm. Lenine him
self escaped, hut several members!
i
i of his party were taken prisoners,
j The exploit of General Gaida in!
' capturing Perm parallels his success j
'in the campaign of last summer,
i His superiors opposed his plan of at
tack against Perm and lie carried out'
' the operation at the risk of removal j
j from his command. The bulk of his J
j force was made up of Siberian ]
! troops, but he had two regiments of I
j Czechs in his army.
in addition to the 31,000 prisoners
j reported, General Gaida captured 5,- j
| 000 railway cars, 120 field guns, 1,-j
I 000 machine guns, thirty automo- \
j biles, an entire wagon transport, sev- ;
eral trains and several thou
; sand horses. His maneuver was a !
complete surprise to the Bolshevik, j
i as proved by the fact that the cap
| tured several prominent Soviet lead- |
! ers at the headquarters of the Third
Bolshevik army. Ten Bolsheviki reg- j
intents are declared to have been an
nihilated and the rest of the enemy
army was driven across the Kama,
river.
Troops of General Semenoff, the
anti-Bolshevik leader in the Chita |
district, have occupied Verkhni I

east of laike Baikal.

favor of "the Allies. Wo were in the
thick of the tight for those three
days and then took part in the coun
ter-offensive of July 18tb. We went
forward through Chateau Thierry to
Courmont where the Boche stood
and it took four days to dlrve Hint
out. From there on to Sergy and
Seringes, where one of the bloodiest
scraps took place that American
troops participated. Sergy was taken
and retaken nine times before it
finally remained in our hands. 1 had
probably the most thrilling time in
that pluce 1 ever had. Every time
our infantry attacked I took up two
machine guns and placed them in a
cellar, the window of which was
flush %vith the ground and command
a tine view of the main street up
which the Boche had to come. Each
time the Boche drove us out we had
to cart our guns out too. The last
time the Boche attacked he came in
from three sides and we had no way
to get out. All )ve could do was to
lay low and pray. Fortunately he
did not have time to search ttie
houses or else he would have had
us but he had all he could do to
strengthen his defenses. In about
two hours our Infantry attacked
again and flnal'y drove the Boche
out entirely, much to my relief.
From there we went forward
; through Coban, Dravegny, meeting
j little resistance until we hit the
j Vesle Hlver in front of Fismes. it
I was twenty-one days before wo could
I get across that stream and we lost a
lot of good men during that time.
This brings us up to the first week
in September. We finally were able
to cross the river and it was on the
outskirts of a little town called Bas
lieux that a Boche sniper put a bul
let through the calf of my leg. It
was just a slight scratch and just
necessitated a first aid dressing. I
don't believe I mentioned this be
fore. On about the Bth of Septem
ber the division was relieved and it
was on that day before that I got
| my dose of mustard gas. We left the
line and hiked for two days back to
I Chatillon-sur-Marne where we were
! loaded into trucks and came through
to Vassincourt ,a little village north
of Bar-le-Duc, which is about fifty
] kilos directly south of Verdun. We
i were there for four days and we
f thought we were going to get a fine
j rest when we got orders to move
j again. My leg was stiff by this time
I and I couldn't bend it and the gas
! burns were bothering me, so at the
j end of the first night's hike which
took us to Vabeoourt I knew it was
• only a question of time before I was
! carried back, so I decided to go to
j the hospital While 1 could still walk,
j I was sent to Evacuation Hospital
; No. 9, at Vaubecourt where 1 met
(Chaplain Booth and from there down
t to the base at Beaune.
That covers, I think, as well as I
' know the history of my tour of
• France. There is a whole lot of it
j that I want to see before I go back
|to the states. 1 hope to get leave
, when I am relieved here to get down
jon the Mediterranean and see what
j it is like. The address of this place
i is slightly changed, as you see below.

IMPERIAL PALACE
IN BERLIN IS GOAL
j FOR PLUNDERERS
Damage by Theft or Vandal
ism Eestimated Above
.$1,500,000
lierliu, Jan. 2.—The damage to the
imperial palace in Berlin during the
; ievent excesses by theft or vandal
ism is estimated to exceed $1,500,000.
Five hundred persons implicated in
the plundering, which is said to have
been going on for the past six
| weeks, have been apprehended and
' much of the stolen property recov
i
| ered.
The former Emperor's warden
succeeded in bringing the bulk of
j the imperial art treasures to a place
i of safety after the flight of the Em
| pcror. The wardrobes of the former
i Emperor and his wife were almost
1' entirely denuded of their contents.
In one of the former imperial dress
ingrooms the old uniform of a sol
! d'er was found. Its owner had ex
j changed his uniform for Imperial
| raiment and disappeared.
' The damage 10 the palace as a re
su't of the bombardment was com-
I paratively slight. The marines now
| have vacated the castle and taken
up their quarters in the former roy
j al stables.
| The ambition of five American sol
; diets to be the first of the American
j Expeditionary Forces to reach Ber
lin is likely to have serious results
] for theni.
j The men, wjio arrived here Sun
day, were attached to the One Hun
! dred and Twenty-fifth Infantry Reg-
I iment, now at Cobienz. They were
| absent without leave and unexpect
! edly ran into members of the Amer
i ican military commission now nere
| in connection with the repatriation of
| prisoners. One of the men has been
j captured and is being detained, while
the Berlin police are seeking the oth
er tour.

Harrisburg Soldier Writes of
Life in Interesting
Old Town
Samuel Phillips, writing to his j
father. Dr. C. E. Phillips, of this:
city, tells of conditions following the 1
war in Prance and says the "Huns'
had ererything in the world to tight
the war for a hundred years," ex
cept men. His letter follows:
Montme'dy. le 10 Dec., 191S,
•No. 11, Kronprlncen Strusse,
(Boulevard de le Montme'dy.)
Dearest Polks:
Class, eh? I should say so. At
last I have come into my own. A
real live city, stores and every
thing. Yesterday I saw civilians
and inhabited towns for the first
time since September 13. Can you
imugine that? Been at the front
for that long. But. early yester
day, morning, before daybreak, we
broke camp and started. We cov
ever about eighteen miles by dark
when we arrived here.
We live in an immense old house,
four stories in height and must
contain nearly one hundred rooms.
Everything is made line. Marble
window sills, glass door knockers,
marble fire places, line paper on
the walls, great, full length mirrors
with gild edges, and a million and
one other things that denote "cluss."
This town was held by the Ger
mans for four years, the last of them
leaving the 17th of last month. All
the civilians stayed here during the
occupation and were forced to cater
to the Huns. Everything in the
stores is Dutch. Small German sol
diers for the children, post cards
with pictures of the Germans, etc.
The streets, as you see, were re
named for the Huns.
At the back of the city is the
tremendous Fort of Montme'dy. It
played an important role in the
early days of the war. I want to
go through it and will tell you
more about it then. Just at the
foot of the great mountain on which
the fort is placed is a German prison
camp, now being used as barracks
for our men. 1 sure would have
hated to have been held by the bar
barians.
It is strange, but the more I see
of the Huns' strategy, the luckier
I think ourselves for their early de
feat. Except for men, they had
everything in the wold needed to
tight this war forever. Their ma
chine gun and artillery emplace
ments were absolutely impregnable
if they would have had the men to
hold them. The French think that
the battles of Verdun licked the Ger
mans. It was there that the flower
of the German army, as well as the
French, was lost.
Will close for this morning and
go next door to the lady barber for
my shave, then to the "Cafe'de le
American" (mess hall) for lunch,
after which I will add more.
To continue my story 1 want to
say to tiie men folks that it sure
is a good thing the war didn't hit
us hard enough to make the wo
men become barbers, i don't be
lieve the French men will ever
get their trade back. I get shaved
every morning now instead of three
times a week.
Aho, before I forget, just before
leaving the front I received on last
Friday the first box of candy from
Wanamaker's in London. On Sun
day I received the second box, a
pound of nuts, from London and
on Tuesday 1 received my Christinas
j box. So you see it was some big
I week. it sure tastes good when
all you have to eat is corn beef and
hard tack. I am going to take time
! out now and get a chocolate cookie.
They sure are the great stuff.
Had a card from Margy the other
day. 1 sure do appreciate all the
little remembrances, including the
handkerchiefs. They are the first
1 change I have had since I came
over. Almost as soon as I got to
France 1 lost all but the one hand
kerchief I had in my pocket and that
one I have ifbed About
time for a change.
Most of the people in the city
speak German, so with u little
German mixed with the little Eng
lish they know. 1 speak as fluently
as though 1 was home. It is a ter
rible sounding language, but they
understand it. As you know, or
don't know, my German is fairly
good and so when 1 meet a person
who speaks high German I get
along very well.
1 took a walk this morning out
Berlin Strasse. to Kronprinz Boule
vard and then over to Kaiser Platz.
This is in the great residential sec
tion. The people dress very well,
you would almost think yourself at
home except for the number of sol
diers, most of them French, who
may be seen in the streets.
Am hunting some appropriate
Christmas gifts, that don't cost a
fortune und am having trouble to
find them, but if I do you will get
them sometime between Easter and
Fourth of July.
You can realize how shortly the
Germans left here when 1 tell you
that when I bo't this papier 1 askeu
• Cambien?" the girl said "Wie vlel."
I said "Yah." She said "Une Sou."
Then I gave her a franc and she
gave me 5 pfennig in change. Half
Dutch, half French.
Well, remember me to all.
SAMUEL.
Am still well, happy and fat.

I,EARNS SON IS WOUNDED
Charles Saunders, 138 Sylvan
I Terrace, lias learned from a soldier
I who Just returned from overseas,
| that his son, Charles Suunders, Jr.,
was wounded and gassed before th
ending of liistilitieß, and was oo
flned to a base hospital in France.
The soldier told Mr. Saunders that
he was in the same hospital with
Young Saunders, and that when ho
left. Saunders was in a favorable
condition, and on the road to rapid
recovery. It was the first intimation
Mr. Saunders had of his son being
wounded. He has received a letter
written since the close of the war,
in which his son declared he Was
well and miliarmed, but It is thought
now Saunders wrote In that vein
only to reassure his father and save
him any worriment.
