Camp Fremont, Cal,
December Q 1917

December 9, 1917.
Mr.. o. II. Barber:
l received your letter yesterday and
was sure glad to hear from you. but
very sorry to say l haven't received a
copy of the Press since l left Camp
Lewis.
l am sure glad to hear that the
Power county boys are all making
good, but they have only started at
present. There is lots of room for ad-
vancement yet. There is only one
Power county baker here and that is
myself There is one fellow here
from Logan, Utah that used to work
in American Falls at the city bakery.
He is practically from the Falls, it
seems to me, for he is the only one
here that knows anything about the
Falls
1 will enclose a clipping from the
Trench and Camp that will save me
lots of writing. 1t shows how we
were welcomed into Bakey. Co. 33S.
AS an example of the real spirit OF
brotherhood and good feeling toward
new men coming into the army. the
following episode from the Baking
Company S3S is hardly duplicated any
where.
On THANKSGIVING evening twenty
eight men from Camp Lewis. at Amer
lean Lake. arrived in Fremont to -5oiu
the baking company. Instead of be-
ing welcomed as we sometimes see men
welcomed upon their arrival in the
army, here is what they found:
In the first place a turkey dinner
was waiting for them. the big bird and
all the ixins having been prepared
especially for their reception. No. the
pleasant task of putting up tents was
not waiting after dinner. To
the surprise of the newcomers they
found their tents up. stoves installed
and warm fires burning.
That was not all. Lieutenant Yer
non, the commander of Company 33S.
detailed several "non-coms" TO divide
the twenty-eight new men into small
punches and take them to some en-
tertainment either on the post or in
one OF the neighbOring towns. This
was done and the men had the time
OF their lives"
wish you a merry Christmas and
happy new year.

issued Wednesday at the general Of

are moving an enormous tonnage of
freight, il is probable service must be
reduced in order to release engines
for the eastern roads.

PRESIDENT DECLARES WAR
AGAINST AUSTRIA-HUNGARY
Austrian Subjects to Enjoy Practical
Immunity From Restrictions Except
in Special Cases.

In special Gases.
Austro-Hungary subjects in the
United States, most of the million or
more of whom are laborers and are
loyal to the allied war cause. will suf-
fer few restrictions as a result of war
between the lands of their birth and
adoption.
In a proclamation Wednesday, de-
claring a state of war with Austria
Hungary in accordance with the act
of congress. President Wilson speci-
fied that unnaturalized Austro-Hun-
garians, unlike the Germans in this
country, should be freesz0l live and
travel anywhere, except that they may
not enter or leave the United States
without permission. and those suspect
ed of enemy activity may be interned
They may not register with police or
postoffice officials. as Germans will
be required to do shortly. and are not
barred from the 10O-yard zones about
the piers, docks and warehouses closed
to Germans. and are not required to
leave the District of Columbia.
The presidents motive in drawing
distinctions between Germans and
Austrians was described as twofold.
First, it was realized that the SYM
pathy of Hungarions, Rumanians.
Poles, Serbians, Czechs. Slovacs and
other immigrants from the Austro-
Hungarian empire generally is not
with the mother country in the war
and they have not been guilty of the
multiform campaign of violence prac-
ticed under thk German war system
Second, such large proportion of la
borers in munition and steel plants
and coal mines consists of Austrian
subjects that it was found practically
impossible to administer against them
the rigid regulations imposed on the
Germans, who are half as numerous
and more individualistic.

hunt down even this elusive bandit.
They are a. much at home as he; must
know al the by-paths and cow-psths OF
that section; must by this time under
stand his tricks Of trade. But the
months 20 by, and the bandit remains
ut large.
The so-called authorities in Mexico
have reached the point now where they
must finance their undertaking. They
have no money Of their own. They
cannot hope to find it in Europe. or in
South America. 1t must come from this
country, as the only country with money
to lend: and it should come from here
because Of our intimate business rela-
tions with Mexico American capital did
a great deal in the development of Mex

under the proper guarantees would do
as much more.
Villa may be dead. Reports to that
effect have been circulated. No Ameri-
can personally acquainted with him has
seen him for some time. But if he is
alive, and at the head of the movements
popularity accredited to him, he should
be brought into camp. and dealt with
according to his deserts.
For if he lives, and while he lives. he
may be classed as an enemy of America,
and of any Mexican government he is
not permitted to dominate He does not
like us because having counted on us
to back him for full control in Mexico
he was disappointed. He attributes his
disasters to u.s. He hates the Carranzis-
tas because of their success over him.
So that the very best thing the Carran-
zistas could do would be the bending of
their energies toward ending the career
of the man who more than any other
in their country stands for disorder and
possible disaster.

Revenue and Conferences.

The conference between the Senate
and House on the revenue bill promises
to be decidedly interesting 1t may be
protractcd Several weeks may be con-
sumcd. As matters are now heading,
some wide differences will exist and
some nice adjustments be necessary.
Such work cannot be performed in a
jiffy.
A notable conference on a revenue
measure IS that of 1894. A revision of
the tariff was in the scale. The demo-
Gratis controlled both houses Of Con-
gress The House. under the leadership
of William L. Wilson, had passed tariff
bill shaped on anti-protection lines,
while the Senate. under the leadership
of Arthur P. German, had amended the
measure so as to take care of several
protected interests. Also. there were
some campaign obligations at stake.
President Cleveland had taken the
House side of the controversy. and in a
way so aggressive as to add to the bit
terness existing. Mr.. German and his
friends took deep offensc at Mt. Cleve-
lands outgivings.
The conferecs had a warm time, and
more than once the failure Of the meas
ure was threatened. But the contestants
stuck to their knitting, and in the end
the Senate won. Mr.. Cleveland refused
TO sign, and so the measure became q
law as distinctly an act Of Congress.
The coming conference will show the
Old North state most prominently in
the picture If the rule relating to the
appointment Of conferees is followed
Mr. Kitchin as chairman Of ways and
means will head the House contingent,
and Mr. Simmons as chairman Of the
finance committee the Senate contin-
gent. Both are old line democrats Of
the tariff for revenue only school, and
were supporters of Mr.. Bryan while the
latter was the leader of the party. But
they are far apart on this revenue meas
ure-so far that at the conference COM
mittee table they will have . good deal
TO discuss
Mr.. Kitchin was against preparedness;
Mr.. Simmons was in favor of it. Mr..
Kitchin was opposed to the declaration
Of war; Mr.. Simmons was in favor of it.
Mr.. Kitchin, as he frankly confessed,
swallowed the tariff convictions of a
lifetime in voting tariff duties into the
bill; Mr.. Simmons was among
those who voted to strike them out, and
the bill will be reported to the Senate
without them. These differences may
show in the politics Of North Carolina
at a later day.
