SOLDIERS UNDERGO CHANGE
Russians, Who Have Been Through
Battle, See Evil Of Their Ways.

Petrograd, Nov. 30.-The effect of
the war on the common soldiers and
their families in the villages has
been studied and reported to the I'M
perial Geographic society by |. |. Uly-
anoff, on the basis OF letters that
have passed through his hands. Mr..
Ulyanoff examined fourteen letters
written about the same time from
the Dvinsk front and an equal num-

Without exception all the village let
ter writers declared the war had to
be fought to victorious conclusion,
no matter what the cost to the coun.
try or to themselves.
The soldiers writing from the front,
some on the eve of battle, expressed
unfaltering confidence in the final
outcome, whether they should live to
see it or not. But what was more
striking was that practically all the
soldier letter writer's had obviously
undergone, in their lonely watches
or in their quiet trench conversations,
moral experiences that Mr.. Ulyanof
characterized as conversions. They
expressed the intention, if spared, to
live according to the dictates of their
consciences. Some spoke of VOWS
by themselves and by companions not
to fall in future into the errors OF
their past, to be sober and indus
trious, gentle and kind.

WATER BONDS VOTED
Henryetta to obtain Water Supply
from Canadian River.

Henryetta, Okla, Dec. 1.-Citizens
here voted to issue 100000 in bonds
Tuesday, the proceeds to be used in
constructing a twelve or sixteen-inch
water main to the Canadian river,
and for the improvement of the pres
ent municipal water system. Hen
ryetta has outgrown the present water
sytem, and the lake from which the
water is now obtained has proved
inadequate to supply the city. An
Oklahoma City firm has agreed to
purchase the bonds.
The citizens Tuesday voted also in
favor of granting a franchise to an
interurban railway company that pro
poses to construct an interurban rail-
way to connect Henryetta, Dewar
and Kusa.
