Cob Mount e Strick Donega Hershey to Rapho Jacob E. in East Bishop Darlington Confirms The Rev. J. H. Darlington of Diocese of the Episcopal Church made his annual visit to St. Luke’s Church, Mount Joy and confirmed a ‘lass presented by the Rector, Rev. H. D. Speakman. After the confirmation ceremonies the Bishop preached what would be called a “War Sermon” and his hearers listened with intense interest for an hour. He pictured the horrors inflicted by the Huns, not only upon the countries and cities which they destroyed, but the fiendish mutila- tions upon prisoners of war and upon fair young women who fell victims into their official hands. The Bishop has absolute evidence of these horrible deeds at first hand from the best of authority on the spot who has witnessed this fiendish- ness. The Bishop’s sermon made a profound impression upon the minds of his hearers. : e--——— the Will Operate a Quarry Strickler and Hinkle, brick manu facturers of Maytown, have added a new line to their work, and will operate the Hiestand quarry, near Marietta, and take out stone and lime.

McGinnis Fort McPherson, Ga., April 19, 1918. { Dear Editor, Just to inform the home {folks that I am still feeling fine and {dandy and like this Fort very, very jmuch as it is a very pretty place and also a very large Fort. | This place is very much different from any Fort that I have been up to the present time, as there are all hospitals here. Last Saturday even- ing twenty-nine boys came to the hospitals here, who were in France me some of them are pretty badly done up. Last Sunday afternoon I had a long talk with one of them and he told how he was hurt. He said he had only gotten out of a trench for something when he was shot. He la- ter on gave me a little history of the manner in which they lived. He said the climate across is similar to what we have here only they have a great deal of rain. While in the trenches they were under steady fire for quite a long time at a stretch, but | when they had a chance to get away, were allowed to go to a small town, | not very far from the trenches. He also said that the American people would be very much surprised to see the number of German prison- ers that they have in France and as to the number he couldn’t begin to tell. The majority of the German men who are now fighting are about 50 years old or over and the remain- der are only boys about 14 years old. This man who told this to me is true blue for the U. S. and said if he could he would go over again and fight for his country. I only wish that you could be here to hear some of them speak about “Over There” as it is very interesting and makes a fellow wish that he could be there himself. This Fort will be built up to about three times as large as it is now,f very long, as this will be a receiving Fort for the wounded soldiers that come back from the firing lines who are disabled. I must also tell you about the peo-! ple of Atlanta, how kind they are to the boys here. Almost every person in Atlanta owns a car, they come out here one afternoon every week | and take the boys out for a ride and | show them very nice times. I could | not begin to tell you how many cars| pass the hospital that I do my little] bit in daily. The people here realize | that a man in uniform is civilized | but I have been at one place that a| soldier boy was not considered a human being. There are mans here in prison camp and believe me they are pretty strong looking fellows, as I know, seeing them every day. For a long time they did not do any work at all, but the other day things | changed and they were taken out in | public roads to work. Well will close for Yours, John A. McGinnis, U. S. Army G. Hos.

Mother, Now while I have a lit- tle time and nothing to do until 5:40, I am now answering your letter which I received this afternoon just before dinner. I was out practicing on the Bugle before dinner and when I arrived back at Camp 1 saw that there was a letter from you. I have been Bugler for th three or four weeks and all I to do is get up at 6:45 every ing and blow Reveille, which find out if everybody is present Iti is about a half minute's work, then eat breakfast and after breakfast usually go back and lie down until 11 o’clock when I blow again. This time | it is Adjutant General Call and the | General comes out and reviews the 1260 guards who go on duty at 12] lo’clock every day. The duties of (these guards are to guard the camp from people coming into it, guard the buildings where the aeroplanes] are kept, warehouses and other build- | ings in Camp and also to see that no I person has a camero in camp as this is not allowed. After Adjutant General Call, I go back to dinner and | at 2:30 A. M. I attend school, Bugle practice which lasts one-half hour. From this time until 5:40 I| have nothing to do. At 5:40 I blow! Retreat. This also takes about one- half a minute. So altogether I work | or rather blow at 35 minutes every! day, so you see how much I do.

The other night four of us fellows started out at six o’clock for a ranch about 3 miles from camp and we got the woods and were lost. We for over four hours and couldn’t find our way out. We had to build a fire and stay in the woods until daybreak. In the dark we fell over cattle and horses. About 9 9 o'clock in the morning we could hear | | the coyotes yelling.
