for the front you could see many tears
for nobody knew where we were go
ing or how soon We would be drawn
into the fight. Everybody expected
the worst, but praise to God, up to
now We have guarded our neutrality,
and so far we are in no danger.
Our troops are divided into three
calls; the first call embracing ages
from 20 to 80 years; second call, from
30 to 40 years, and the third call, 40
to 4S, all fully equipped.
The first call is at present still on
the border. The second call alter
mates, being part of the time at home
and part of the time in service, but
it appears that France soon will be
completely defeated, and then our
troops of the second call will return
home for good.
Business at present is very slow. A
few of the factories have begun and
are employing a few laborers, but the
major part of the labor is without
work.
Food products and prices in gener-
al have only slightly advanced but the
state is considerably troubled to get
enough wheat. Italy is keeping open
door for all transports except wheat,
and the only state from which we can
get wheat and coal is Germany. Aus
tria supplies us with sugar.
The harvest is very good this year,
and the only trouble is that Switzer-
land does not pay enough attention to
the culture of wheat.
How long the war will last and what
the outcome will be, nobody can tell.
TWAS joy to watch the mobilization
of our troops. Everything worked
like clock work. Otherwise It would
have been impossible that our army Of
about 100000 men would have been on
the border fully equipped in Pour or
five days.
We are fully aware Of or require
ments and therefore the discipline is
beyond question. We are excellently
equipped and every man in the army
is fully aware of the seriousness of
the present crisis, and is willing to
defend his country with his blood.
In the interior everything is quiet,
and only very little work. For that
reason the communities have very
heavy expenses to keep people sup
piled with provisions and fuel. The
troops are in excellent health, we'll
fed, and supplied with big portions Of
food every day. The Red Cross is in
action and is already eGuipping the
soldiers with winter supplies that is
warm underwear and yoClen socks.
The state supplies the soldiers with
shoes, and all the shoe factories are
working overtime now for the gov
eminent.
/ would like to give you more detail
ed information pertaining to the for
tifcations just finished. INT the gov
eminent forbids our imparting such
knowledge. 1 shall give you an idea
of its extent after the war.
Everybody of your relations is well
and prosperous, and we trust that you
are enjoying the best of health.
With best greetings,
Karl Duhs.

A Domestic Disturbance.

The trouble began with tea fight.
The milk was sour. the cake cut up,
and the sugar fell out with the tongs.
The spoons clashed. and the table

snarled. and the crackers snapped. The
easy chairs were soon up in arms. and
even the clocks did not agree. Things
were no better in the kitchen The
pitchers were all set by the ears and
stuck out their lips. while the teapot
and kettle poked their noses into every.

wonderful achievements in France and
