With thanks our hearts are filled, For men returning home. With proud hearts beating high, For Freedom's cause they went; They heard the prisoner's. sighs They saw how homes were rent. They saw the blood:red tracks Of captives forced to toil For foe. whose army sacks Their loved and sacred soil. They heard of cities burned; Of woman's honor soiled; They knew of treaties spurned; Their righteous blood had boiled. In depths of heart they vowed To right oppression's wrong; To end brute force allowed To nations that were strong. Through periled seas they sailed; Braved dangers high and low; Their courage never failed Before the savage foe. They forced him to retreat; Give up what he had won; Atknowledge his defeat: And pay for what he'd done. And so we welcome them With hearts filled full of pride. To God we raise anthem; To Him give thanks glad-eyed. For those who stayed behind In cross-marked, graves, We'll eer think thoughts kind; Give praise to Him who saves.

Schroeder, of Wilmette, Regimental Supply Sergeant of the 149th Field Artillery. The letter will interest all readers of the Winnetka Talk. It reads: Dear Bernard:-- Mail has been rather scarce of late--first class mail-- but I got three bundles of newspapers and magazines from home today all of the latter | weeks of August but never less wel- come and almost like] a letter. The wreck of the Chicago postoffice look- natural: I wish I had a nickel for every mess like that that I have seen. However the towns that the Germans left behind lately are not so badly wrecked, although the scars of 1914 in blocks of ruins overgrown with moss and weeds are evident in practically every village. As you know the Germans have been going back at a great rate, and I expect to hear an official announce- ment at almost any .time that all of Belgium and France have been evacuated, possibly that the Kaiser has abdicated also, and 'a bid for peace--but this is idle speculation in a letter that cannot reach you be- fore events<have proven it*or made it ridiculous. In following up a retreating ene- my much interest is naturally to be seen but'a fellow gets accustomed to everything and you hardly get a stir. 1 was riding through a town yesterday and happened to halt op- posite a pile of extremely bloody bandages and other rubbish. There | were a few hands and feet and other odds and ends mixed up with it and some how or other those little souvenirs looked more gruesome than a pile of bodies. At another point [ saw half a dozen bodies, Germans, in a heap. They were stiff and straight and looked more like posts than human remains. Some were face down in the'mud and others up. All along the road individual bodies could be seen in the ditches and of course the fields and woods were full of them. The Engineers follow along and clean up pretty fast though. A strange thing that I noticed would no doubt be interesting to you. The other day I happened to notice as T passed a dead mule in the road that the tail was cut off short. I thought nothing more of it than that a truck had scraped it too closely and knocked it off. After I had seen a half a dozen in the same condition the explanation hardly sufficed. Then it developed that the Algerian sol- diers have a fondness for tid-bits and cut them off whenever they see a dead horse. They are practical people. One of the boys saw one of them slit the uniform off a dead | German man, take off his underwear, { cut out the blood spots and put it on himself then and there. In several places 1 saw genuine tributes to the ability of our bat- teries in clusters of fifteen or twenty dead horses in a bunch. A funny not all there, big slices neatly taken off the back and whole quarters gone. 1 saw the same thing along the road in many places where hors- es had apparently fallen out from | exhaustion. They would be half gone. ! { The explanation. never occurred to | me till T saw some of the natives ap-! proach the remains with baskets and get busy cutting off steaks and fat roasts. The Germans left quite a few in- | habitants behind in some towns. That reminds me of an incident that happened yesterday. 1 had been rid- ing all day without eating and 1 wanted at least to water my horse. thing was that many of them werey | able to buy anything to eat, civiliza- | | if T ever get back to where eating 1s {had gone through the town with- out. seeing any watering place but I] eer Pershing Dislikes the | Spotlight; Humane and Considerate turn to the right in the next street and there vou will find some". The boy spoke better German than I ever will, T am sure of that: I wonder what he thought to have the "Liber- ator" address him in that lingo, but I tried to take the curse off by say- ing "Merci; soon we will be back to teach you American." The people say that the. common soldiers have treated them well, but they are bitter against the officers. I have run across a number of French and some American graves made by the Germans. I was pleased to note that they were all marked and neat- ly lettered the same as their own and one that was only a couple of weeks old was marked "Amerikaner, | Harvey F. Brady" with his A. E. F, number and the date he fell. An- other had a railing around it and had the legend on the cross in German "Fuenf tapfere franzoesische Solda- ten" -- Five brave [French soldiers". A short time ago I witnessed aj ! spectacular Fourth of July celebra-| tion. I happened to be on a "Cross | Roads" at quite an eminence it | grew dark. As it came out bright and star-lit the "suef wagons" came trundling over tout de suite. I seem- ed to be in the center of a circle of | which the radius was about a kilo- meter and they dropped their bombs all around the half circle. First a big burst of light and a shower of sparks and a second of nerve rack- ing revernoitar. I slept in a field that night and they must have made two or three trips.

Pershing is not {a well known figure in the United States and the world at large, if the | public has not been told more of the | human side of the commander-in- | chief of the American expeditionary | forces, then it is John |. Pershing's own fault. : During his seventeen month's resi- dence within the war zone General Pershing has become one of the world's best publicity dodgers. He not only has discouraged all attempts { to put his name in print but. having the army censorship under his. hand, he has been able to prevent corre- spondents from cabling to America given the people a better idea of what sort of a man he really is. Fourteen months ago, when the first contingent of American troops entered the first line between Nancy and Luneville, General Pershing, ac- companied by two aides, went down 5 the 'crt trenches for an inspec- | DEAT 'needed cheering up. little bits of news that would have. tion tour. His coming was unan- nounced. It had been raining and snowing for three days. The men in! some places were standing in water | above their knees; their dugouts were cisterns. It was their first ex- perience in trench warfare and they The war correspondent tried to tell the people in America about it, but there wasn't a chance. Before the gencral returned to his headquarters that nicht he sent word to the cen- sors that only brief mention of his visit might go." That mention was | containc1 in a forty-word notice posted for correspondents' guidance, and it carried no information except that the commander-in-chief had! visited his troops. Correspondents | were even ferbidden to say that the general waded through watery trenches. Men close to Pershing | said he felt that American papers should not print long stories about his activities so long as he had but | spondents in conferences. | the matter he told them was of con- { when the party filed out. = a handful of men at the front. The same rule was effective when General Pershing visited the graves of the first American soldiers killed in action in France. The general fre- quently met the accredited corre- Some of fidential nature and could not have heen printed without disclosing mili- tary information to the enemy. The manner in which he sat on news concerning himself became a joke. Once General Pershing intro- duced several correspondents to Marshall Joffre and asked the Marne hero to give them a short interview. "Well, did you get a good story?" he asked, with a twinkle in his eve, "No, general," one of the news- paper men replied. "He is a good deal like you--pretty tight."

REPORT OF THE CONDITION OF Winnetka Trust ans Savings Bank located at Winnetka, State of Illinois, before the commencement of business on the 31st day of December, 1918, as made to the Auditor of Public Accounts of the State of Illinois, pursuant to law, is known as the "white tower," ap- pears to have been the beginning of the Tower of London. It was com- menced by William's son, William Rufus, who, in 1008, surrounded it with walls and a broad ditch. Sever- al succeeding kings made additions to it, and King Edward III erected the church. In 1628 the old white tower was rebuilt, and in the reign of Charles IT a great number of ad- ditions were made to it. The new buildings in the tower were complet- ed in 1850. Real Riches He who has fortune in love and truth and beauty is entitled to be called rich. Time and change and] adversity have no power upon them They are the only things a man can take with him when he goes. In the process of acquiring them they be- come part of him inseparably. He who has them "wears his commenda- tion in his face," for it may be read as he passes that his converse is with the higher and finer things and his daily walk is on the plane where the noblest meet and greet familiarly.-- | the sta a : " Avia: oii delahin' Pahlic: Ledger. eo 31st day of "1ber, 1918, as tors attacked in the'air.
