FORMER EMPLOYEE OF
 E. A. T0VREA CO.,, WRITES FROM FUNSTON
Accounts Experiences From the Time He Left Bisbee for Douglas and From There to Funston.

The following letter has been re- ceived from Charles Cole, now at Camp Funston, by the E. A. Tovrea company, by whom Cole was em. ployed before he left with the last contingent:
 Camp Funston, Kan, Oct. 8, 1917. My Dear Friends:
 We have surely been having some novel experiences since leaving Bis bee on October ?. Our two days stay in Douglas was very pleasant. The town belonged to us, and the gener. ous ladies there did everything td make our stay pleasant. Our meal tickets entitled us to eat at any of the better cafes. and the white badges of the national army got us the best of service. All of the Bisbee boys were comfortably billeted. Two young men were given rooms in c. H. Dow els residence, and my roommate and had a front corner room on the meg zaine floor ofthe Gadsden-something we have never been able to afford in civil life.
 The trip here was uneventful. but pleasant. There was no disorder that could be objected to. Repeatedly dur ing the trip cigars, cigarettes and fruit provided by the good people of Douglas were distributed. and the sec ond evening we were given a package of the trip worthy of note were the generous treatment we received at the hands of the ladies of Liberal, Kan. where we ate our second breakfast; i; at Mcfarland, Kan, where we ate our second supper. They seemed gen timely interested in our comfort and welfare and expressed it in the way most acceptable to hungry men. They were both enjoyable meals and both were served by prize beauties.
 We arrived here at 10:10 o'clock Friday night in high spirits and with Q few yells still left in us. A cold shower was our introduction to our new life. And it was cold. As we came out of the bath la Adam we were given a poncho and marched into our barracks for the rest of our equipment We were given shoes, socks, underwear, hat, shirt. khaki overalls in place of trousers and blouse. two blankets. brush, comb, towel and soap, a cup and two metal plates fastened together by a hinged handle and containing knife. fork and spoon-sufficient equipment you see. for health and a degree of comfort forgot to include woollen gloves in the list.
 l am not going to attempt to de- scribe the life here nor the camp at present. The life is so totally different from anything we have ever met in civil life. and the camp is such an i'm mense thing that I could give you no idea of it. It is like trying to describe the ocean to some one who has never seen it. l was told that S10,000, 900 was to be spent here for construction and that at one time 10000 men were at work. After retreat last night l started to take a walk through the camp. I only covered a small part of it. As far as I could see in all direc- tions the lighted barracks could be seen. I wanted to sit down and weep. It was such an immense, such an in spring sight. and I am powerless to give an impression of it. If the whole nation could get an impression of this there would be less criticism of the delay and more patriotism and

ENGLISH LEADER REVIEWS TASKS
 OF ALLIED ARMY
(By Review Leased wire.)

LONDON, Oct. 24.-In his weekly talk with the Associated Press, Major General Frekt. B. Maurice, chief direc tor of military operations of the wal office said:
 Tt is not discredit to the British that they did not bring down single Zeppelin while the French arm brought down five in the course of the Zeppel in visit a few days ago. No French airman would think of comparing the task which they had of attacking the Zeppelins in broad daylight, when the airships were at the end of a long flight and partially crippled, with that of the British airmen in finding and at tacking them in the night when all the invaders were still fresh.
 Incidentally it may be said the Brit ish air service since the beginning oi the war has brought down Is Zeppel ins under conditions far more difficult than those under which the French were so successful the other day"
 British Air Service.
 Discussing the work of the British airplanes on the western front he said {:
 During September our bombing ma chimes made 226 raids, dropped on the Germans 7.SS6 bombs, representing 135 tons of explosives. In the same per iod the Germans dropped almost exact ly one thousand bombs on the British 1; now bombing is only part of our air operations. By far the most important work of the airmen is the direction of> the artillery.
 During September we made 7,946 shots at enemy batteries under aerial observations and silenced them in 1913 instances. During the same period, the Germans only succeeded in rang ing on 743 of our guns.
 Many Planes Ragged.
 During September we engaged and brought down 274 enemy planes, and this figure errors on the side of con servatism for our headquarters never allows airplane credit for the fall of an enemy unless corroborated by an observer.
 Commenting on the French victory along the Chemin Des Danes which he characterized as "a very brilliant and very successful piece of work" Gen eral Maurice said:
 Just as the Germans tried to create i'll feeling between the British and the colonials by circulating reports that the British were forcing the colonials to bear the brunt of the fighting, so they have lately been trying to create misunderstanding between the Brit ish and the French by alleging that the French were doing nothing, leav- ing the British the credit. The vic tory which is the fourth French attack this year is a good answer.
 "Of course, it is true that the Brit ish have had more of the fighting to on the western front this year than ev- CT before, but the reason is apparent Remember that in the first months of the war we practically exhausted our little old army and we had to spend two years in creating another. With the beginning of this year our new army was ready and we went into line with the idea of bearing the brunt antl relieving the French of part of the bur den which they had to bear almost ex- clusively while we were getting ready. The French and English commanders understand each other thoroughly and there is no jealousy or misunderstand- ing on either side"

Catarrh is annoying enough when it chokes up your nostrilS and ar passages, causing painful and dith- cult breathing and other discomforts. But the real danger comes when 1t reaches down into your lungs.
 This is why you should at once realize the importance of the proper treatment. and lose no time ex- perimenting with worthless remedies which touch only the surface. To be

For the past several days more than
nine hundred carpenters, members Of

an Increase In wages from s. per day

struction work thruout the city would
be suspended. but the action of n ma

more than one hundred carpenters

morning and that this number prob
ably would be materially reduced in

this action being thot probable.

EMPLOY ENGINEER
FOR TULSA DRIVE
Park Board Gets Ready to
Start Survey on Big Boule-
ward Project.
CHANGE NAME OF ONE PARK
Dispense With Supervisors,
Whose Work Has Not Pro-
duced Good Results.

That actual work on the big boulc-
ward project is to begin Immediately
WAS indicated last night when the
municipal park board employed $. w.
Mitchell, former county engineer, to
make the initial surveys for two miles
and "A half along the Arkansas river
front. The board intimated that 1t
would first build this section of the
project. The river front drive will run
from the new county bridge to the
Midland Valley bridge and will afford
a view OF millionaire row" In stone
braker heights, as well as the refin-
erv and railroad district across the
river In West Tulsa.
So that Park superintendent John
Meisenbacher may give all of mis- time
TO the boulevard and other construc-
ton work. the board divided It's fund
into two distinct departments, main
tenanco and improvement. The super
intenden. laid out and built the boule-
ward system in Springfield. Ill. be-
fore coming To Tulsa and is therefore
especially qualified to take charge or
the work here. Az the same time he
will proceed with pans for improV-
ing and opening up Woodard. Water
works and other unimproved park
sites.
The city has already started con-
demnation suits against some of the
river-front land. Most OF the right-of-
way, however. will be donated TO the
city by patriotic property owners VINO
desire to see the city improved.
After the survey has been made and
plats drawn the board will select the
official route for the river-front por-
ton of the drive. This will be done
within two or three weeks time. Ac-
tual construction work probably Will
begin~by September |.
The board officially named the park
on the east side. known as "Forsythe
park" by calling 1t Admiral park
in view Of the fact that 1t is located on
Admiral boulevard.

Seven Located in Southeastern
Department; Railroad Rout-
ing Being Arranged.

WASHINGTON, July 9.-The last
step necessary to make the entire ma
tional guard available for duty In
France was taken today by President
Wilson with the issue of "A proclama-
tion drafting the state troops into the
army OF the United States on August
s.
To make certain that the purpose OF
the national defense act Is carried out
the proclamation also specifically de-
clares the men drafted To be dis
charged from the old militia status on
that date. In that way the constitu-
tional restraint upon use of militia
outside the country is avoided and tho
way paved for sending the regiments
to the European front

Prior to the application OF the draft,
regiments in the northern and eastern
sections of the country are called into

on July Is and 25. Many units al
ready are fcderalized and presumably
they will be modified with the other
troops from their states. The guard
from the other states Will be mobll-
tied on the day OF the draft. The ar
rnngement was necessary to provide
for movement of the regiments south
to their concentration camps without
congestion and TO the same end the
division Of states into these incrc-
ments was revised from the original
schedule.
The operative date of the draft was
delayed until August so that all regi-
ments can be taken into the army si-
multaneously.

five In the southern and two In the
western.
The two others will be in the south
eastern department and until they are
