Much credit is due to Chairman War
dell of the Eagle Bachelors Social Com
mittee, Chairman Britzius in charge of
the card games, an«i Chairman Wright
of the cafeteria, as well as twenty or
twenty-live Eagles who assisted the
chairmen so efficiently in the splendid
manner in which the social was carried
out. The. whist games were the largest
probably that have been seen in Nome
for many years, there being over fifty
tables set. Splendid prizes were award
ed the winners. Tile ladies first prize
won by Mrs. Bourret. being a silver
cake plate, second by Miss Emily Cox,
a beautiful hammock donated by Mr.
Winquist, and third prize by Mrs.]
Johnson, a device for assisting in sew
ing work. The gentlemen's first prize
was won by Mr. O. T>. Cochran, who
declared it was ttie first one he ever
won in Ills life. Mr. McClure won the
second and Mr. Wygard the third prize,
consisting of a gold Eagle button in tlie
first and a silver backed pocket comb
in the second instance. Only thirteen
games were played owing to the lack
S of time and resulted in a large number
of ladles and gentlemen cutting for
each prize. The evening's program
was started off by a splendid little talk
by Judge Tucker, who explained that
the bachelors had requested him to
tell tho people who they were and what
was expected of them. Judge Tuckor’s
witty remarks were well received. Dur
ing the progress of the games Mr. Mc
Guire sprung some matrimonial agency
letters which had been found in cer
tain bachelors pockets and secured by
him after a bit of really good detective
work. These created immense merri
ment and showed cleverness in their
composition which was greatly assisted
by Mr. McGuires fine manner of deliver
ing them. Dancing began immediately
after the prizes were distributed, to the
strains of a splendid eight piece orches
tra. lead by Miss Klondy Nelson, and
ably assisted by Messrs. Peterson,
Oliver. Barbour, Marx. Holmgren,
Burgh and I-escher. Tin dancing con
tinued until midnight, when the tired
hut happy guests declared it had been
a mast enjoyable e\,-ning. and that
Chairman Warden and his assistants
were entitled to great credit for the
splendid time enjoyed by alt present.

FOX RAMSAY ON j
THE FIRIN6 LINE:
_ i
(Continued from Tuesday, t
Nothing more happened till four days
after, when we made a reconnaissance
in force along tlie same road we had
approached by. At about 9 a. in as our
long line was advancing in columns of
half sections (two by two), we were
surprised to hear several shots and a
curious “butt futf (not putt puit't
close above oUr beads This continued
some live minutes (it seemed like as
many hours) while our regimental
headquarters were tinding out from
whence exactly they came. Frankly I j
was quite relieved when we galloped 1
a few hundred yards forward and I
formed troops behind a farm There we
waited while several shrapnel shells
rattling on the farm in question showed
we were anything but safe It was not
long, for instant l.\ came the order ‘Mis
mount, action, front.” This means that
number threes hold the horses, four in |
number, while the others advance rifle I
in hand. I got a rifle and bandolier
front No. 3 and followed the men, for
this was tlie reason i had got the job of
interpreter, it was a good excuse to gel
tu the front, where r could shoot to
my heart's content. Well tlie ensuing j
battle is unique as being the only en
gagement we could see as a whole. As
a rule one only sees one's trench, a field
or a wood and that is all The guns ;
posted behind, or the troops on our :
right or left one sees nothing of
Well, I mixed with the men. nobod>
seeing me or saying na\ -for an inter
preter is supposed to he a non com
batant. The two other regiments had
gone on to the left and the other was
in support. In our rear, all skillfully
sheltered in a wood or behind a farm
We walked, in single tile and carefully
down a hedge, where we lined the same
at the bottom of the Held, bullets buy
ying the while, a part of us stretching
out into a plowed Held on Hie left of
the hedge where i was. I found myself
next to our regular squadron leader
who said. “What, you here? Well it
doesn't matter." However we all had a
careful look through our glasses and
before there was a road, raised above
the level of the flat country, behind
which were the Germans. It was, how
ever. only rarely that we could see a
Iliad with Its spiked hemlet, emerging
from a small house. Then ensued a
fine little fight. 1 heard them discuss
ing tlie range which was given at fiijO
yards. So turning to a Tommy beside
me 1 said "You lake a shot at that little
window at the end of tlie red building
and we'll see if that is the range He
fired and looking through inj binocu
lars 1 saw tlie pane go in. Then as
shots came flying close to our ears, we
flattened ourselves to tlie ground. We
volleyed the hedges in front, then our
horse artillery cnine up on our- right
and wheeling into a favorable position
opened lire I ought to say (hat their
guns had been busy all this time, hut
they mostly burst well behind us They
did not seem to have the range !( was
a line and terrible sight In see our
chaps ranging tlie road with
their shells We could very
plain!) see them burst nil down the
road, 1, 2, 3. 4. 5 and 0, the dust flying
off tlie road as tlie shrapnel bullets
struck, tlie smoko hanging in the air
like little dabs of cotton wool. Need
less to say no German showed a head
while our shells were flying.
Our gunners refrained from .shelling
the house, T presume out of motives ol
kind heartedness. They did not want
to destroy property. We only had one
battery, fi guns, of 15 pounders, so when
they reloaded back came tlie German
bullols ami shells. One chap quite
close to me was shot through tlie liver
anil died in a couple of minutes, ap
parenty painless. Poor chap, he merely
got up n little bit to make his position
more comfortable. Why no more were
hit I do not know as bullets were con
stantly hitting tlie hedge where out
troops were Ivins However only 4 or
5 were hit.
This went on til) about 3 p. in., by
Which time we were cramped with ly
ing flat. As a matter of fact 1 only
fired three shots, there apparently be
ing nothing to shoot at. I could do
more good by using my glasses, for
there were plenty of rifles, better shots
than T. only waiting to be tohl where to
phoot.
