a how that 22.384 new nAt'n had to be j
used—this in a division' that num.- j
hi-red 30.000 men when it'went over-* j
seas. His article follows:
"With the One Huh'dred and j
Twelfth Infantry in France, Bux- j
icres, Dec. 7.—The Twenty-eighth
Division lias reason to feel proud
that during the six months that it |
saw continuous active service at\the
front it established a real record. i
"Of the outfits which had beenS
overseas long enough to have Its men
entitled to the first service stripe. It J
leads the list in number of replace- !
ments. And figures. In this case, do
not lie; they show to what an ex- I
tent a division was 'hit' In fighting. I
And be it known that the 22.354 new 1
men assigned to the Twenty-eighth I
Division in the six-month period •
speak louder than mere words of i
praise. When the Twenty-eighth j
came overseas it hail some 30.000 I
men on the rolls of its infantry, ar- j
tillery. engineers and other organ!-;
*ations composing the Keystone r
fighters.
"The Second, First and Third Pi- !
( visions ot the Regular Army, which i
were overseas for a full six months J
before the Twenty-eighth arrived,
■aw much action, hut it is to be
noted that the Twenty-eighth, in i
number of replacements, leads even i
the famous Rainbow (Forty-second)
Division, the Thirty-second and j
Twenty-sixth Divisions, other hard- i
fighting units. H,ere is the official
table that tells the tale and shows
the standing:

"Officers, commenting on the list, j
are of the opinion that perhaps no
other division in France has seen so (
much real active service during the !
hottest part of the war game, sacri- j
licing periods of relief in order to j
■play the game' with the same war j
spirit on another sector.

Tells of Big Shells
Dropped on Americans
Hay H. Kumler, Meclinniesburg
youth, relates in a letter recently
received how the Germans shelled
the hospital in which he was located
sii'ler being wounded in action, and
how his pack was destroyed by a
ten-inch shell as it was lying on
the ground nearby. Tie rites:
"I.e Mans. France. Nov. 2S, 1918.
"Dear Dad: Just a line to tell
you I am still on the map. Ihave
been out of the hospital since No
vember 8. Was in from August 17
to November 8. The morning 1
was sent to the hospital a 10-inch
shell came to say "good morning"
to us and hit my pack. All that
was left was a large hole in the
ground. My watch was :n my
pocket and as a result I am watch
less. Bad isn't it as you know Sis
always, said I need a watch. Ha
Ha.
"I atn now at a casual camp
headquarters of the 83rd Division.
My own Division (the 42nd is to
join them in a few days. There
are not many here and we get
plenty of good food, and a good
warm bed and a good warm stove
to sit around in the evenings. But
I am anxious to get back to my
own company. T expect to spend
Christmas on the Ithine.
"While in the hospital I was at
Orleans. Base Hospital, 202, and I
will say tiiat outside of Paris it is
one of the best cities of France. I
could not have been treated better.
It seemed as though X was every
body's brother, son or even sweet
heart. They al made us feel as
though we were home. The Red
Cross sure is a blessing to wc boys.
1 think T told you before about the
lady 1 met while there, who is from
Chicago. 11l It did seem good to
see some one outside our own com
pany from the best country on
earth. I have been to call several
times and sure am treated grand.
"The war is over and Uncle Sam's
boys did not do so poorly after all.
did we Dad? We have canned the
Kaiser Bill and all his relations and
sent many of his square heads to a
hotter place than it is here or ever
will be.
"Bill never expected the Ameri
can dough-boys to blow taps over
the waters of the Rhine, but they
are doing it now just the same
Hurrah for "Old Glory." If we get
hold of him we will blow taps over
him and have an Indian war dance
on him and over his grave.
"We celebrated Victory, Thanks
giving and best of all marched to
the cathedral and paid tribute to
our brave comrades who so nobly
and fearlessly gave their lives 1n
this hellish struggle. The cathedral
seats over 10,000 and it was filled
with boys from the best country on
earth, the dear Old U. S. A.
"We are about 12 kilometers
from the city. last evening my
chum and I went into town on a
truck but had to walk back but we
enjoyed it. It was real romantic
in the star light.
Remember me to everybody,

This supreme film production, with
the recent world war as Its main
theme, has a pretty little love story
running throughout, written by M.
Gaston de Toltgnac, and was trans
lated Into English by Captain Victor

the Orpheum audiences.
Working on the very front, first
through the permission of British
war officials and later of French of
ficials. Griffith reproduces many war
scenes in all their realities. Trench
fighting in all its horrors, poison gas
attaqfts, the havoc of the tanks, the
tmfllery- wrecked French villages, the
gallant infantry onslaughts, hideous
German cruelty and all thfc terrlbla
engines of the recent war are repro
duced In most vivid fashion.
The Glsh sisters. Lillian and Dor

Little Disturber." feature the pro
duction and furnish that zest neces
sary to maintain the intense Inter
est of the audience throughout. The
part of "The Boy" is played In pleas

leading characters in the production
include Ben Alexander, as "The Lit
tlest Brother;" Robert Anderson, as
