Lieutenant Crane to Rev. Hale
There will be much need of work
here at Funston, and at all other can
tonements during the coming winter
for the people at home to do. There
are thousands of men suddenly taken
from their usual modes of life and
thrown together here. They will be
homeslck, downhearted, sick of body
and soul. The scenery grows appai-
ling, and here, there is not much di-
version. Manhattan and junction
City, cannot furnish all this enter
taInment. They need friends to
come and visit them. They need
boxes of cookies and cakes, and fried
chicken from home, for they are not
used to camp fare. There is so much
that the ''folks back home" can do.
How many families of your congre-
cation who have no sons in camp
have said "God Bless You" and then
gone home to comfortable dinner
while their neighbours son was draft

them on the ends of my fngers-and

Germany is Whipped.


Asked about the feeling among
the people of France and of the SOL
diers of the allies. Mr. Hart said
Germany knows it is licked. When
American troops get over there it
will be a short time only until the
central powers give up. The German
soldiers we captured all confessed
that their country was fighting
against hope and could not hold out
much longer. Every German soldier
who came within our range of cap
ture was glad to be made a prisoner
and to get out of the awful struggle
They said to US that they knew they
we're whipped, their ammunition
nearly all gone, their arms depleted
and their food supply growing .des-
peratly short.

in our airplane campaign at every
turn, and our troops are sending ten
shells into the German trenches for
every one Germany hurls at the al
lies

Horrors of Trench Lite

William Hart suffered all the tor
lures of trench life in France. In
these trenches he stood all day, and
when he slept it was on a bed or
bunk in water and mud. For an en-
tire night he stood on the crook of
his gun-stock with his head just
above the water.
Il saw 5000 dead men at one
time he said, "and on the battle
field of SOmme I saw where 1000
600 men were slaughtered on both
sides. These were buried in long
trenches and in holes dug IN the
ground large enough to accommodate
hundreds of bodies. In some in
stances where the soldiers of the al
lies did not have time to bury the
dead, thy were burned on the battle

OFFICIAL REPORT ON
NAVAL BATTLE STANDS

LONDON, Jan. "a 5:23 p. m.)-The
latest reports received in naval circles
from the naval action in the North
sea serve only to confirm the Official
announcement Of the admiralty. 1t IS
not considered likely that many de,
tails will be added to the oriclal
report, as the battle was fought IN
night Of pitchy bIackness. Naval o1i-
cials are surprised that an engagement
was possible under those circum-
stances and point out that. as the COM
batants carried no lights, accurate
gunnery must have been exceedingly
difficult
The theory that the German destroy
ers were driven from Zeebrugge by
ice is not given much credence by
naval officers. who declare it is not
even certain that the German flotilla
came from that Belgium port.
The bow of the British destroyer
lost in the engagement was COM
pletely carried away by German
torpedo, and since it was considered
to tow her to port, she
was sunk as, if she were left afloat
she might become menace to other
units of the British flotilla.
