  Lieutenant Shadle is connected with Company L, Seventh U.S. infantry, which 
is a part of one of the big army corps that is warring in the big battle on 
the Marne.  He is well known here and enlisted in the Fifteenth Engineers at 
Pittsburg, has been in France for more than a year and won promotion there 
for his bravery.
  His parents heard of his being wounded through their daughter-in-law, Mrs. 
Charles S. Shadle.  They also received a letter from their son, Wallis, who 
is with the Fifteenth Engineers, and he says that his brother has been 
recommended for a captaincy.
  The parents believe that Lieutenant Shadle is in pretty good shape or he 
would not have been able to write a letter back home to his wife.
