To the Editor of The Age Herald.
 Here am again; will try to give you the news of Battery A for the past two weeks.
 Sergeant Obenchain is sick in bed with la grippe, but think he will be O. k in a, few days Several others are com plaining with, bad colds.
 We have finished our subcalibre fir ing, and tomorrow begin firing service ammunition. We have 270 rounds to fire, and as soon as that is finished we take a 10-day hike. When we return from the hike our work here is done. That IS as far as practice is concerned.
 Then we. are ready to leave here for old Alabama.
 And the quicker we get there the better satisfied we will all be.
 Amout 2oo0 Caranza soldiers have arrived in Auga Prieta since Saturday night and they are still coming in.
 Several of our officers have been wathing them today. using field glasses +o see them march over 8 hill several miles away. Carranza claims the req son he has sent them here Is that he is afraid Villa will attack Auga Prieta and Douglas.
 Uncle Sam has a few hundred sol- diers here, and I am sure if Villa crosses the line here, or near here, we can make things pretty hot for him.
 Of course we don't want trouble. but we will certainly protect "old Glory"
 Back to Battery A. Stable Sergeant Nunally is very angry with the cooks because they are not making any more bread buildings.
 ouartermaster Sergeant Patterson said tonigh he would tomorrow issue every one another blanket And as the weather is very cold l think the olan- kets will be more than appreciated.

N., c. & St. l.. Employees
 Being POlled for Strike

Nashville, November ; 26.- Engineers, firemen, conductors and trainmen of the Nashville, Chattanooga and St Louis Railway company are being boiled for a strike on that road as the result of the refusal of Presl- dent J. II. Peyton to confer with joint committee representing the en- ployes.
 The railway officials refused 10 confer with the joint committee, i'm sisting that they knew of no reason why there should not be conferences with enginemen and engineers &and with the conductors and trainmen. The brotherhood representatives wanted a joint conference.
 Saturday MT. Peyton was notified that the committee of the brotherhood rep resentatives demand joint con- ference to discuss their grievances and that the matter was being referred to the employees.
 The canvass of the ballots will be announced Thursday.

 New York, November 26.-(Specialo The other day the superintendent of the apartment building where I live called me up, and when I found out he wanted me to write out something on my ma- chine for him, I was so surprised and delighted because he didn't want money or anything like that. told him I would, and he came up aud I wrote out list of all the people living in the building, and the building is block long and has ' or 10 stories on one side and about 10 or 15 on the other.
 And he sat down and dictated and l sat down and wrote a lot of names in various languages, and when he called out the name Williams" I felt almost like a voyager does when he gets his first sight of the Statue of Liberty, and I asked him who Williams was, and he said: Why, that's the mother of Earle Williams, the moving picture actor and he comes here to see her almost every day in his car"
 And that set me thinking over the scenes in which l have seen Earle make love to Anita Stewart in the movies, and whip the williams who were after her, and get a lot of applause from the au- dience which he couldn't possibly have heard because he lives in far-away Brooklyn. And I remembered seeing him in the subway one night, and how I had straightened up and tried to look fasci- hating because I thought maybe the camera man was in the car somewhere grinding away and getting me in the pie ture and how disappointed l was be-

TRADES UNIONS IN
 MEXICO WOULD BE
 BEST FOR PEACE
This Is Opinion Expressed Before American Fedora tion of Labor by Dele
 gate From Yucatan

Baltimore, November 2e.-That the in Mexico would go far toward keeping that country and the United States at peace, was the substance of an address shortly before the final adjournment of the American Federation of La- bor convention. by Carlos Loveira, a fra ternal delegate from Yucatan.
 If war between Mexico and the United States should come through the machina- tions of capitalists many of our workers would not know what to do" said Loveira. We realize we would not meet in battle the oil kings or the railroad kings or other exploiters. but that we would meet brother workers
 Buffalo was chosen over Fort Worth, Tex, as the meeting place for the 1917 convention and the following officers were reelected unanimously:
 Samuel Gompers. president; James Dun can, first vice president; James O'Con- nell, second vice president; James D. Hayes, third vice president; Joseph H Valentine, fourth vice president; John R. Alpine, fifth vice president; H. B. Perham, sixth vice president; Frank Duffy, seventh vice president; William Green, eighth vice president; John E. Lennon, treasurer, and Frank Morrison, secretary.
 Fraternal delegates elected to the next British Trade Unions congress:
 John Golden, New York, president of the United Textile Workers; Frank Far rington, president of the Illinois Branch United Mine Workers.
 Fraternal delegate to the next Canadian Trade Labor congress: Emanuel Kove- leskie, Rochester, N. Y.
 The report of a special committee ap- pointed to prepare a statement of the principles upon which the federation de- clares it's position with respect to "rnilitar- ism" was adopted unanimously.
 "The American Trades union movement is convinced by the experience of man. kind" says the report, that nlilitarism even in it's less horrible manifestations brutalizes those influenced by the spirit of the institution"
 We are unalterably opposed to any form of physical training, or any quality of mental education which would tend to inculcate the spirit of militarism. The child's immature and impressonable mind upon the killing of human beings. To arouse the thought that any of their school hours are devoted to preparation for the possible use of arms against their fellow men, is to brutalize their instincts and subvert the influence of the neces- sary lessons of humanity, peace and good will, which it is the duty of our public schools to impress upon them"

Raids Made on Warehouses Of Chicago's Egg King," Who Has 72,OOO, ,OOO Stored

warehouses where wetz had eggs in storage

 cause he wasn't And then I recalled the night went to the Hamilton theatre to see Earle in person, and how he didn' show up, and Anita Stewart did. and she called him MT. Williams" and said he couldn't come, and the ladies in the audience all groaned and felt stung, and I didn't care much because Anita was there anyhow, and I always used to look at her when they were both in the same scene, anyway.
 And then I thought of the superinten- dent and copied some more names and felt glad of the chance to stand in with the superintendent because now maybe I'll get the heat turned on right away when I ask for it, and maybe he'll be so nice to me that all the other lessees and roomers will get envious, and prob ably will not have to copy any more names for him for long time anyhow.
 And every little while a thought kept knocking at my brain pan. and l finally realized that Earle Williams almost daily calls on his mother had impressed me, because any fellow who Is as popu- lar and as busy and as well known as Earle who yet finds time to call on his mother almost every day, must have even more in him than the camera can bring out and I decided I liked him better than I ever had liked him, and that I was sorry he didn't appear at the Hamilton that time, and that l would go to the next picture in which he ap- pears and applaud him.
 And then I thought I'd write you about all this and then maybe. when the paper gets up here to me, with the story in it, I'll show it to Mrs. Williams and she'll show it to Earle and he'll send me a ticket to some movie theatre where he is to appear or something.

 "Oh. my dearest boy" cried Cora, commanding her voice with an effort.

 Hush, dear" soothed Cora, touch- ing his forehead gently and reanzlng with another choking rush of thanks giving that he would soon be himself again "I'H sit here and read if you'll try to go to sleep. See. dear the storms nearly over"
 And after he had closed his eyes she. did sit there, but not reading. Over and over to herself Cora was saying: Nothing else matters but that I've got him; that we've got each other I must never mind trifles again. I must always remember thls day and what it would have meant if it had been a fracture, as the doc tor thought. I can never be gratetul enough, never tender enough, or thoughtful enough, or forgiying enough in all the years to come, want 10 be. kinder to people, more sympathetic with women who have lost their mates and had to struggle on alone, more gentle to women who have never found their mates and had to live always without companionship or love. I want to be more generous. more helpful to those who have less than I. Oh, I am so grateful for the gift of life, David's life, my life, our life together, all the splendid op- portunities of life, all the things that make life rich and interesting.
 And when David awoke again the eyes he looked into seemed to hold a now sweetness toward him, toward all the world.
