Hear Madam:
Your leller touched me very much,
recalling as it did events thai are
very sacred to me.
The memory of those days fill me
with sadness when I think of those
fine young fellows who went West in
those four weeks al Chateau Theirry.
Thai lire showed I he metal
of the Marines; there it was they
proved themselves men and iuu per
Cent, fighters, there it was they set
an example for the hoys thai were to
Come after to emulate; there il was
they suffered for days wilhoiil I" I or

the (ieiman army "lull Lent for
Paris.'
Did limy get there'.'
Not that you could notice, iuu we
paid an awful price ; and yon yon,
poor mothers with your infant SOILS
even we. who were there can not im
Bglne the price you paid. There il
was there al Belleau Wood they wrote
with their blood a page In American
history and French history too for
France In gratitude renamed the spot
In honor of the Marines.
There iii those same woods on the
-3rd of June 1918 your son Jolin oiler
ed the supreme sacrifice in the cause
of his country and democracy. He
Was a man died like a man and the
one hope we ehei ish is that his sacri-fice
is not in vain, if his hopes and
the cause for which he fought is real.
Izcd then, my dear madam, you may
be consoled and proud that your boy
John was with the U. S. Marines and
fought al Belleau Wood.
1 knew John well as he was one of
a number of boys of about the same
age, but the roughing it and training
made a man out of John. He could
take ear.' of himself at any time. H«
had pluck which you would hardly
expiel from his pink complexion and
sparkling brown eyes. A youth in

CAUGHT A WHALE
WITH HIS HANDS
Here is a whale of a fish story.
Every word of this story is vouched
for by unimpeachable evidence. The
hero is devout churchman, faithful
Io till his religious duties anil is nev*r
known to deviate the least Jot from
the straight and narrow path even
when telling a llsh story. Every one
In town knows the hero as he Is no
other than Waller II. Morris, who
formerly resided in this borough and
Wesl Consholiocken .and for years
served hundreds of patrons of the
Recorder regularly with their paper
rarely missing any subscriber no
matter what Ihe weather conditions
might be. Walter now resides in Phlla
delphla and is employed at the works
Ql Hie Lire Tire and Rubber Com-pany,
of this borough.
Here Is Walter's story: "I was In
Atlantic City yesterday and went in
bathing near the inlet, near the air
ship station, where, the breakers are
strong. As 1 was watling about, I saw
an object being tossed aboui wnich
I at first tok to be a stone. 1 went
to the object and saw il was a fish.
1 went after it and after many at-tempts,
I succeeded it catching It
with my hands. It was a fish about
two feet long and varying in with
across its back from three to four
inches. I brought it ashore and soon
a large crowd surrounded me and the
fish. Fishermen and life guards said
the fish was a baby whale and the
guards were anxious to get possess-ion
of it. They offeree: to purchased
it from me but 1 refused to sell. I
brought the whale home today I have
it at the mill where the* employes
have viewed it.'"
Walter, unlike most fishermen,
brought his evidence with him and
the whale is on exhibition today at
the tire plant.
