WRITES FROM BELGIAN FRONT
Former idaho Man Gives Impressions Of
Europe at War-Tells of Air Fights

Richard Pugh of the Grangeville
Electric Light and Power Company is
in receipt of a letter from his friend
Charles Rennison Somewhere in Bel
GUM Mr.. Rennison is an electrician
and formerly worked for the Grange
vile Electric Light and Power Company
at Orofino. He enlisted in Canada with
the American Legion last June and has
been at the front nearly a year. We
quote the letter as it was received by
Mr.. Pugh. 1t has been carefully cen
sored as the stamp on the envelope in
dicates. For that reason there is no
definite information as to the move
ments of the army. The letter, how
ever, gives in calm unimpassioned way
some glimpses of the devastated war
zone. Here is what the censor left, the
passages cut out are indicated by dashes.

Somewhere in. Belgium
Dear Dick:
Received your letter last night and
was pleased to get it and shall keep a
look out for the parcel as tobacco is
very acceptable as we get pretty short
of it at times. You will see by the
above address that we are in Belgium.
They changed our battalion from an
infantry battalion--- they
needed men to-----. BY walk
ing short way we can see the shells
exploding and I expect we will
! was very disappointed when-----
as ! wanted to be in the front line
though as far as danger is concerend we
will get shelled whenever the Germans
locate us and their aeroplanes dror
bombs on us. / have seen several air
fights and the way the aviators handle
their machines is war, elons.
If ] was in your place | would try
to get into the air service instead of
the navy as | think you would like it
better. ] hope it will not be necessary
for the U. s. to send troops over but
you never know what will turn up.
wish you could take a trip through Eng
land and see the amount of munitions
and supplies they are making there and
the work that the women are doing.
They are doing work that you would
think impossible two years ago We
are not allowed to say just where we
are but / walked to town which had
been shelled. There was not civilian
living there but every house bad been
shelled, churches as well also the tales
we heard of how the Germans had treat
ed the Belgium women and children is
correct. Tt seems very strange to
see the farmers and their wives putting
in their-erops and to hear and see the
guns firing all around, the guns keep
firing most of the time. ! will write
again as soon as I receive your parcel.
Your old friend,
Chas.

PINE BLUFF BEGINS
 THE FOOD CAMPAIGN
Congregations of the Various Church. es Will Find Pledge Cards in
 PeWS.

In every church in the city of Pin. Bluff today those who attend service. will find a food pledge card. A clause of this card reads:
 "TO the Food Administrator-1 an, glad to join you in the service of foo6 conservation for our nation and hereby accept membership 1n the food administration, pledging myse, to cary out the directions anu advic( Ot tho food administrator ill my home insofar as my circumstances permit : It is hoped that every woman who maintains a family will sign one of these cards. Men and young women are not precluded from the signing for they too, will find that if they carry out the directions Of he food administrator they will be able O helu the government very materially in this war.
 Hamp Williams, who is the food aomlnlstrator for the state of Ark. ansas, has thrown an unparalleled amount of energy into this campaign, He has devised system of securing pledges that is unrivalled iD it's ex- celle2ce, and he has devoted himself heart, body and sou, to the success of the undertaking. Indeed, so excel. lent is all the arrangements made by our food administrator that if the people help MT. Williams, even a lit tie bit, Arkansas ill proportion to its inhabitants will undoubtedly stand at the head of the lists of ctotoc
 Where to Send Cards.
 Pine Bluff citizens will rCtice that the card is addressed to Hamp Will Hams at Little Rock. It is especially requested that this address be disre- gardec and that they be sent to c. M. Nichol, county court clerk for the county of Jefferson.
 When these cards have been re- ceived by the county court clerk the signers and senders of the cards will receive in return a kitchen card. which will tell of the problem before the American housewife. Later, the food administrator will follow these kitchen cards" With a window card', which shows to the world at large that the recipient is an Ameri- can patriot doing her duty in the cause of her country.
 The food administrator, and the chairman of the county defense league expect a large list of signers from Jefferson and it is like Pine Bluff and Jefferson county to do things in q big way when it comes to serving the country.
