LETTERS FROM
BURKE SOLDIERS
Sgt. William Jink Duckworth, Co. H,
148 U. S. Inf.
Dear Brother:
We are in the trenches now. Have
been out in "No Man's Land," and
working part of the time digging
trenches for the past few nights, and
find it great times. Everything is
very quiet until about 2 a. m. The
other night Fritz thought that he
would make us wear our gas masks
while at work, so he sent over two
or three gas shells, and sure enough
we did wear our masks for awhile.
That was all right. In about twenty
minutes our artillery sent Fritz five
gas shells and in about ten minutes
sent ten more, so you see when he
sends in a few shells he just gets a
double dose back for them. So I
think that's where Fritz had to wear
his gas mask all night. About 2
o'clock the big guns began to start
to hand Fritz a little chocolate. They
have been shelling pretty close to
where we are camping this morning.
Sometimes the airplanes come over us
and then the air battle starts. Last
Tuesday afternoon three came over to
pay us a visit, but did not get to
stay long, for the aircraft guns got
so hot for them that they couldn't
stand it, so they beat it back. I find
it no trouble to stay about at night.
Will close. Will write again when
things get a little more lively. An
swer soon.
Your brother,
BILL.

The Juniors at Wrightsville.
For The News-Herald:
Please allow me to give to the Jun
iors of this district a brief sketch of
my trip to the State meeting of Jr.
O. U. A. M., which I attended as dis
trict deputy at Wrightsville last
week. We arrived at the beach Tues
day afternoon. It is well worth a
trip across the State to visit this de
lightful resort. The tide was unusu
ally high, it being the full of the
moon. At the Atlantic Hotel, where
I stopped, we had fresh fish and other
sea food every meal.
The report from our district, the
fourth, was very gratifying and en
couraging. We had made a substan
tial gain all over the district.
The meeting convened in the first
session Wednesday morning, State
Councilor H. O. Sapp, of Winston
Salem, presiding. Reports from the
various councils showed a big gain in
membership over the State. It was a
patriotic meeting throughout. More
enthusiasm was displayed than at any
previous meeting I have attended.
Loyal support to our President and to
Congress was pledged by a unanimous
vote.
One of the most inspiring addresses
of the meeting was made by Hon.
John H. Noyes, of Pennsylvania. He
talked on the immigration law and told
what steps the Junior Order pur
posed to take in dealing with alien
enemies.
The next State meeting goes to
Gastonia. Hon. Woodus Kellum, of
Wilmington, was elected State coun
cil for the ensuing year.

the winter in Chattanooga.
