Mr. Overell, T39-2tp CHAPLAINS NOTE BEARS ~ NEWS OF BROTHER'S DEATH Mrs. Albert E. Armstrong, 126 Ninth street, this week received word, through a letter written by an army chaplain, of the death in a Frenclt hospital of her brother, Lieut. Lorne L. Cupples. The letter appear- ed in an eastern newspaper. Lieutenant Cupples was a graduate of the Plattsburg Officers' training school. He ignored a recommended commission of captain and accepted a First lieutenancy which insured overseas duty. : Popular Young Woman Die Funeral services for Miss Margaret Herbert, sister of Mrs. John Schopen of 418 Prairie avenue, who died at St. Francis hospital, Monday after- noon, of Spanish influenza, were held at St. Francis church, Jeverend Father Lennos officiating. Miss Her- bert was popular among the younger people of the Village scores of whom attended the services. A 8 ) The Misses Wagner, and Blume avenues, this week received a letter from Joe .P.

Barber Discusses Many Phases of Conditions in Europe James G. Barber, son of Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Barber of Wilmette, Ill, has received his commission as lieutenant, having been recommended several months ago by the Com- mander-in-chief of the American Ar- my in France. Lieutenant Barber offered his services to the govern- ment as soon as the United States declared war, and was accepted; he did not enter an officers' training camp but continued his regular busi- ness with the Firestone Tire and Rubber company, until called at the end of August to report at Fort Crook, Neb. A month later he was transferred to Fort Benjamin Harrison, promot- ed to a first sergeant and made Mas- ter of Motor Transport company 310, Train 403. Two months later this company and others entrained for an American seaport, and sailed for overseas on January 12, landing in England. Excerpts from letters received from the lieutenant contain informa- tion which will be of interest to Wil- mette residents who know the young officer. Speaking of the food situation in France Lieutenant Barber says: "The United States is surely helping to build up France. Formerly many French had no way to keep meat. The United States has built a huge refrigerator system, large enough to keep meat for a whole army for the duration of the war, or a year or two. In cities there are large shops much like ours, but in the villages the meat shops are numerous, small, stuffy and dirty. We have fruits about the same as at home. I some- times buy a box of berries, etc., some- times go down the road and buy a cup of hot chocolate and a couple of eggs for four francs." Forsaw War's End Lieutenant Barber hints at pros- pects of an early cessation of hostil- ities when he says, "Everything looks bright on this side. I can almost smell turkey at home Christmas. Of course we transport men may have to remain a few months longer than others if the war does terminate, as we must bring back to the boats much that we took away to camps and to the front. But we are as hap- py as it is possible to be away from our loved ones, and no one is doing any crumbling except the Germans. They are doing a lot now. They have some choice names for the boys in olive drab. 1 was talking to some I'rench chaps and every one had been inoculated with T. B. germs. Oh! they'll (the. Germans) pay foi--it: They are doing so now. When you find men chained to the | machine guns, as our fellows found Germans, its going a long way the fa H vrong way. If you could Snly sel the spirit in the boys in olive drab uniforms, Great!" The Germans got the surprise: of their lives when they attacked some of our patrols. They found "the tanks the real stuff. Our men are crazy to' get their hands on the Germans. i For residents in and about Chicago who lament the congestion and con- fusion of traffic in the loop the fol- lowing description of conditions in the busy streets of Paris may provide some consolation. Referring to traf- | fic conditions Lieutenant Barber ' writes : "When I tell you traffic is worse here than in Chicago, would you be- lieve it? It is a fact. The French drive funny little two-wheeled carts and when they have a large wagon three horses, in tandem, are used. Just as we want to pass and are in a hurry they seem to happen to pull across in front of us and they use any side of the street that pleases them. It makes it most difficult for our drivers to go quickly; and to hear them "cuss" in American cuss words when the other fellow does not un- derstand a word, is quite amusing. Most of us have been here long enough to tell them -- -- in French." Sees Hospital Bombing In another letter Lieutenant Bar- ber tells of the complete destruction of a hospital as the result of a Ger- man aerial raid. "One night German planes dropped bombs on a hospital with a lot of wounded boys in it who could not be removed and could not move themselves. The hospital was com- pletely burned. The Germans have .employed every conceivable type of warfare that can be imagined in- cluding explosive bullets, poisoned shrapnel, etc. We are building a large garage here with a six inch concrete floor." The signing of the armistice was marked in French villages, as in this country, with great jubilee celebra- tions. Lieutenant Barber writes of the event as follows: "Returned yesterday from a long trip. Just heard then of the armist- ice. Great joy and excitement in the town. I joined in for two hours, but was so dead tired after the trip, I turned into bed early as I have to go, out early--4 A.

JUSTICE By Rudyard Kipling Across a world where all men grieve And grieving strive the more, The great days range like tides and leave Our dead on every shore. Heavy the load we undergo, And our own hands prepare, If we parley with the foe, The load our sons must bear. Before we loose the word That bids new worlds to birth, Needs must we loosen, first the sword Of Justice upon earth; Or else all else is vain Since life on earth began, And the spent world sinks back again Hopeless of God and Man. A people and their King Through ancient sin grown strong, Because they feared no reckoning Would set no bound to wrong; But now their hour is past, And we who bore it find Evil Incarnate held at last To answer to mankind. For agony and spoil Of nations beat to dust, For poisoned air and tortured soil And cold, commanded lust, And every secret woe The shuddering water saw-- Willed and fulfilled by high and low-- Let them relearn the Law. That when the dooms are read, Not high nor low shall say: "My haughty or my humble head Has saved me in this day." That. till the end of time, Their remnant shall recall Their fathers' old confederate crime Availed them not at all. That neither schools or priests, Nor Kings may build again A people with the heart of beasts Made wise concerning men. Whereby our dead shall sleep In honor, unbetrayed, And we in faith and honor keep That peace for which they paid. _ Hate in a form of subtle sucide; it is "made of our blood, our health, our sleep and two-thirds of our love." | | | | | When Sound Carries Far. | We hear distinctly on a. clear, frosty night because the air is denser than on | a dull, warm night, and therefore car- | ries the sound better. A motor car | runs better on a frosty night because the engine gets larger supplies of oxy- | gen. i Early Days of Mail Carrying. Royal Mail vans, the driving of which is now intrusted to women chauffeurs, originated in the mail- conches which were instituted in 1784 by Mr. John Palmer, M. P., for Bath, anc manager of the Bath theater. He had to overcome strenuous opposition before he could induce Mr. Pitt to su- persede Allen's system of postboys, whose contract rate of speed was five miles an hour.--London Times. {Many a towering business success owes its first strides to the litle modest want ad, timidly bidding for customers. Your little business may be helped to suc- cess In the same way. (Mail ads are the "Bargain Counter" of newspaper space, and you should have your share of the benefits. RENT AND HEAT ARE FREE FOR ECONOMY SHOP Business at the Economy Shop in the building at Greenleaf and Last | Railroad avenues; is"gditig "ort in' full swing, according to members. of the Wilmette Woman's clubzuhdér whose auspices the shop is being conducted. The proceeds are applied to local charities. The economy of the project even extends to the omission of 'rental and the supply of free heat through the courtesy of George F. Harding, Jr., owner of the building. With these items of expenditure omitted the business in the Shop is proceeding splendidly and the outlook for ma- terial benefit through this project to needy families in the Village is most encouraging. The women request donations of cast-off clothing and all other use- ful and saleable articles including household necessities and ornaments. Awaits Assignment Lieutenant A. Bodine Southworth returned Monday morning from Camp Gordon, Ga. where he was recent- ly commissioned lieutenant of In- fantry. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur E, Southworth of 1010 Elmwood avenue and will iremain in Wilmette until assigned to active service. Religion which will not go with a man anywhere is not worth having anywhere. WATKINS-HOPKINS CONCERT ATTRACTS LARGE AUDIENCE Nusic lovers: enjoyed-a: treat last 'Fiiddy evening at the Watkins-Hop- kins concert at the Wilmette Metho- dist"church. ': a PA * "Thre: members of the group of en- tertainers were brothers from the Great Lakes naval training station, members of the Sousa band. Others of the group who added much to the success of the evening were Mrs. Hopkins, pianist, little Miss Hopkins, a prodigy at the piano, Mrs. Watkins, soprano and reader, and Madame Sophia Stephala, opera singer. The entertainment was conducted under the auspices of the Philathea Bible class of the Methodist church for the benefit of War Relief work. NO QUARANTINE NOW, SAY HEALTH OFFICERS Health conditions in Wlimette and Kenilworth are reported as favorable and the danger of a renewed out break of the Influenza epidemic so distant as not to warrant placing the Villages under quarantine, according to local Health authorities. While Evanston and villages im- mediately north are under strict quarantine with cases of the sickness on the increase daily, conditions here were said to be favorable so that, at least for the present, there would be no quarantine order. ¢ COLUMBIA SCHOOL OF MUSIC CLARE OSBORNE?REED {Director CHICAGO WINNETKA BRANCH © KATHLEEN AIR, PRINCIPAL NEW BANKBUILDING | PHONE WINNETKA 974 LINCOLN AND ELM STS.
