GRINNELL GRADUATE
IN BRITISH ARMY

Grinnsll, Oct 26.-(SpeciaD: IF
you could take an above ground view
Of this country where thousands and
thousands of men are living" writes
J. Norman Hall, graduate of Grin
neil college in 1910, who is member
of machine gun battery located on
the firing line In France, "yo'' would
see nothing but the many lines Of
trenches, not human being in sight"
Hall says that the love Of the life
has gotten into his blood in spite OF
the dangers and horrors Of trench
lite 50 that when his battery was or
dered from the trenches for q few
days rest the men actually did not
want to go.
"A German crept over to us one
night last week and gave himself up
to the battalion on our Left" he
writes. From all reports he was
rather sick of the war and wanted to
get out of it with whole skin. The
enemy's trenches are distant from us
about thirty feet. We can see the
smoke rising from their fires all along
the line, but never, almost never, the
sight of one Of them. The artillery
on both sides is busy day and night,
but there is no infantry fighting
Hall enlisted in the British army
at the outbreak Of the war, being at
that time engaged in newspaper work
in London. He was sent to France
last spring and has been on the firing
line since the first Of July. He was
formerly an Iowa boy and has
brother living in Colfax.

ing. according to statements made by off,

of copper, II is now stated that the situa-
ton has shown signs Of clearing up.
Copper Ia said to be moving with much
greater freedom now than at any time
since the beginning or the war.
The italian Ambassador. who visited
the state Department to-day, indicated
that. according to his information. cop
per shipments 10 Italy are meeting with
little Interference. The Ambassador
pointed out that while the British con-
copper importatons by Italy were proof
that Germany was getting copper through
that country the truth was that Italy has
always bought great deal Of her copper
from Germany. Since the war the Ger
man supply has been cut OF and the re-
suit IL that mportations from the United
states have been increased to make up
the deficiency.
Administration officials are hopeful that
many features OF the complaint TO Great
Britain may adjust themselves as the cop
pOr situation has done.
The state Department received word
to-day that three American ships held by
the British Admiralty were released to.

BUDAPEST, Dec. 2-Budapest, the cap

supplies and provisions for the Austro-
Hungarian army. This city, 25o miles
from Przemysl, must provide enormous
quantities of flour, preserves, sugar tea
aud everything else necessary Tor the
maintenance of the millions in the field
In addition to this budapest must pro-
vide food for it's own population or one
million souls These provisions are requi-
sitioncd In "A country whose men between
the ages OF nineteen and forty-twO have
gone TO war. and where the work of field
and household is done mainly by women,
children and Old men.
From many quarters in Europe one
hears of the enormous increase I'm the
cost OF living, of disturbed economic con-
ditions and OF the cessation of CONNER &c
and Industry. But while Budapest Is nat
urally affected by war conditions she has
no great reason to complain Very few
shous have closed their doors. In front
of the bakeries and butcher shops there
are no hurge crowds clAmuriug for pro-
visions. There Is no apparent widespread
stagnation.
Despite the many great difficulties that
must be overcome, the victualling Of the
city goes on fairly smoothly To be sure,
budapest feels tho adversties of war I'm
many ways. The cost OF living has gone
up, for instance, but the increasing prices
do not exceed those which prevailed In
