Brown, Jr., Writes of Great Marne Battle Foster V. Brown received a shower of letters from his son, Lieut. Foster V.' Brown, Jr., yesterday—some written while he was in the hospital after he received the wound which caused wide spread report of his death, and some written after he had recovered. The young soldier has apparently sobered very much during his almost full year in active fighting with the famous Twenty-Eighth Infantry. It is also ap parent from his letters that the Regi ment has suffered severely in casualties, altho Lieutenant Brown does not specify how many were fatalities. In one place he describes how officers he knew best fell during the wonderful drive on the Marne when the tide of bat tle was turned. He says that he was the only officer of his battalion who escaped injury the first day of that fight. He tells of being lonesome at the ab sence of men he had learned to love, but seemed to be resigned to a fate of war that removes one’s comrades all in a day. One of the most significant descrip tions was of a German girl, eighteen years old, who proved to be the fiercest operator of a machine gun encountered during the entire fight. It became neces sary, he wrote, to tear this girl away from the gun before the weapon could be silenced. Lieutenant Brown sent his sister a souvenir of grim significance. It was an epaulet from the • shoulder of a major’s uniform. The German who wore it evidently paid the price, for Lieutenant Brown intimates that he car ried out his father’s injunction to “Send every Boche to hell.” The young officer confesses ignorance of the kind of life led by the now dead German leader. The people of Badin were happy to hear that the report of the death of Lieutenant Brown was erroneous. He is well known in Badin, having been employed by the Company for a consid erable time. Lieutenant Brown is a brother of Mrs. J. E. S. Thorpe. Wake Forest College, where he was in structor in mathematics and chemistry. Mr. Dotson is a native North Carolinian, Hendersonville being the place of his birth. Even in student days at Wake Forest, Mr. Dotson was prominent in general activities, having been a member of the Student Senate Committee and of the college Glee Club. He is a good “community man,” deeply interested in every agency for the upbuilding of the town. We are sure that he and Mrs. Dotson will prove valuable additions to the community of Badin. Our Outgoing and Incoming Chief Chemists Since our last issue. Chief Chemist Janitschek and Mrs. Janitschek have left Badin to take up work at the New Ken sington plant of the Aluminum Company of America. We will miss the “Johnnie Shacks” in Badin, and wish them the best of luck in their new field. The successor to the important posi tion of Chief Chemist is Mr. W. J.
