Fort Caswell, N. c., Oct. 22.
Editor of The Hustler:
In writing this, I do SO with a mix
ture of feeling, which it would be very
difficult for me to define. Perhaps
too difficult for me to attempt, so rath-
er than fail I will speak o fsomething
more interesting.
Seven weeks ago, the 9Th company,
entrained for the journey to Fort Cas-
we'll, N. c., which is the coast defense
post at the mouth Of the Cape Fear
river. and incidentally to serve as a
training camp and coast lookout.
How we'll I remerber that rainy
Thursday night. Many were the warm
handclasps given US boys with the as
surance that we would not be forgot
ten, no matter where the call of duty
might lead.
The people of He~ndersonville may
rest assured that these assurances are
not forgotten, and that we believe
confidently in the folks" back home.
AS a whole, army life is MOI so bad
after all. Of course it is hard work
the government to thoroughly supply
all the thousands Of men who are in
training now with adequate equipment
and food, but things are becoming
better organized every day. Yet even
now when n of the fellows are for
tunate enough to receive a box of
"eats" from home. o can Judge by
the way it, the "eats," disappear,
whether or not the food supply here
is entirely adequate.
Now for something about the chill
Billies" as we are commonly called,
who are ~devidedly the favorites of the
camp.
The personnel is practically the
same. Capt. Laid, our beloved leader
is still with US. So are u two lieu

Our list sergeant, Hollingsworth

Just before I speak of one or two
funny things that have happened here
it might interest the "slacEers" who
have failed to aid the boys, who are
giving their time, and sacrificing per
haps their lives before it is all over
that the world may be made safe fol
the future generations, to know thai
the boys Of the 9Th company have done
their bit along that line by subscrit
ing for seventy, fifty dollar Liberty
bonds. More will be bought later.
Now, for one or two of the many
comica1 things that have happened
The other night one of the boys or
guard challenged a government mule
and came near shooting, because it re.
fused to halt.
A night or two before another guard
halted a Billie goat, and believe me
the boys sure got his goat, before the
Kidding was done.
Another quite funny incident hap
pened a few nights ago when one of
the guards halted the colonel who was
on an informal round of inspection.
On being asked the question who
goes there " the colonel replied, "Col-
onel "
The guard who was a new recruit
and didn't know the Colonel from a
private, had been instructed to find out
what persons were doing out after
9 o'clock. So he of course asked the
Colonel what bushes he had out SO
late at night.
None Of your business. replied the
French Broad hustler. [volume] (Hendersonville, N.C.) 1916-1919, 1917-10-25

Don't get fresh with me-" said the
nettled guard, thrusting his fixed bay
onet within an inch of the c.. O's waist
line, cor, I'll just march you down to
the guard house, and find out why you
are prowling around my post so late
at night"
And sure enough the Colonel had
to call the corporal of the guard, beg
fore he could get away.
Two visitors whose presence on the
post" gave the company much pleas
.ure, were Chief of Police Powers and
Sheriff Allard Case. After answering
many Questions about the folks back
home" they were loaded with mes
sages to deliver on their return.
Mrs. Rolla v. Ladd, Mrs. Wiltshire
Griffith, and Mrs. Thomas A. Egerton,
have paid short visits over to the post
from Southport which is just two
miles acros the bay, and whose lights
shine temptingly across the water to
US at. night. And believe me those
lights are most enticing, especially as
we are restricted to the Fort until
further orders. Here's hoping that
those further orders have already left
headquarters.
: If space, time and regulations
would permit I would tell you many
interesting things about the 9Th COM
pany, such as how the "Hill Billies"
beat the record on ~dismounting a
battery of skies" by five whole days,
thereby gaining the admiration and
envy of the other companies on the
post, And just lots of things that
would be really very good reading to
the home folks" but owing to the lack
of one, and the plentifulness of, the
other. I can only close by proposing
the following toast:
Here's to the Kaiser's death and
the Sixth company's arrival in Ber-
lin"
Yours for the service of our coun-
try.

HOW THE WAR
 CAME TO AMERICA
Continued from last week.

In the first year of the war the Government of Germany stirred up among its people a feeling of resentment against the United States on account of our insist ence upon our right as neutral nation to trade in munitions with the belligerent powers. Our le gal right in the matter was not seriously questioned by Ger many. She could not have done 90 consistently, for as recently as the Balkan wars of 1912 and 1913 both Germany and Austria sold munitions to the belliger. ents. Their appeals to us in the present war were not to observe international law. but to revise it in their interest. And these appeals they tried to make on moral and humanitarian grounds. But upon "the moral issue" in- volved, the stand taken by the United States was consistent with it's traditional policy and with obvious common sense. For if, with all other neutrals, we re- fused to sell munitions to bellig- erents, we could never in time of a war of our own obtain mu- nitions from neutrals, and the nation which had accumulated the largest reserves of war sup plies in time of peace would be assured of victory. The militia rist state that invested it's mon- ey in arsenals would be at a fa- tai advantage over the free peo- pie who invested their wealth in schools. To write into interna. tional law that neutrals should not trade in munitions would be to hand over the world to the rule of the nation with the lar gest armament factories. Such Q policy the United States of America could no. accept.
 But our principal controversy with the German Government. and the one which rendered the situation at once acute. rose out of their announcement of a sea zone where their submarines would operate in violation of all accepted principles of interna- tional law. Our indignation at such a threat was soon rendered passionate by the sinking of the Lusitania. This attack upon our rights was not only grossly ille- gal; it defied the fundamental concepts of humanity. Aggra- vating restraints on our trade were grievances which could be settled by litigation after the war. but the wanton murder of peaceable men and of innocent women and children. citizens of a nation with which Germany was at peace, was a crime against the civilized world which cou d never be settled in any court.
 Our Government, however. in- spired still by desire to pre- serve peace if possible. used every resource of diplomacy to force the German Government to abandon such attacks. This diplomatic correspondence. which has already been published, proves beyond doubt that our Government sought by every honorable means 10 preserve faith in that mutual sincerity be- tween nations which is the only basis of sound diplomatic inter- change.
 But evidence of the pad faith of the Imperial German Govern ment soon piled up on every hand. Honest efforts on our part to establish firm basis of good neighoorliness with the German people were met by their Gov
