Letter from Boston
(By J. L. RusselD
Boston, Mass, June 8, 1917.

Boston, Mass, June 8, 1917.
 If one has lingering doubts about the United States now being actually at war with foreign foe and that too on most gigantic scale. trip to the Atlantic seaboard and days observa- tion of movements will dispel such thoughts. Every energy of the country is centered in that direction. Now that we are in the conflict, we must win and to win there must be nothing left undone not even to the smallest detail in preparation.
 Here in Boston you are given but little chance to think of anything else. The view of the streets in the business district is literally obscured by myriads of flags ranging in size up to what appears to be fifty or seventy-five feet square. Hundreds of Great Britian flags and of the French tri-colors are in evidence, emphasizing the thought of the allied interests in the great war.
 AS evidence of the feeling of possi- bility at least of seriousness of the con- fict and what it may eventually come to, note that extreme measures are already being taken for defense. For instance, great gray canvas is now in manufacture with which to cover the state house, to obscure it as far as pos sible from the view of ships and aero planes. This Ilearned yesterday from an official of the state house, while talk ing view of Boston. the harbor and ships at sea from the dome of the capi- tol building.
 Few hours of my life have been spent more pleasantly than was the time employed in viewing the capitol and hearing it's history. Part of the great structure was erected back in the seventeen hundreds. Many of the surroundings are equally as ancient. Scores of buildings have been taken over by the Bostonian society and are being preserved for all future time. "We are great here in Boston to talk care of things" said the watchman who showed us about with apparently as much pleasure as he would have taken in entertaining one of the most distinguished visitors that might come from another state.
 We had been in Boston less than twenty-four hours until single handed and alone" we had gained access to the great Commonwealth pier and seen our son, Clayton, now an apprentice seaman, stationed there, notwithstand- ing he was under quarantine, having been placed there on account of the de- velopment of spinal me ningitis at since he left the Great Lakes. He is as healthy and robust as pig and declared himself to be thoroughly satisfied with the Navy and it's environ ments. He will be released within the coming week, when he will be given a five-days' shore leave and will have good visit with US.
 Our trip has been brimful of interest from the word go. 1 could write volumes about it, if had time and did not exhaust my vocabulary. The day spent at Niagara Falls was thrilling one. It would make several stories by itself if I should undertake to speak of it in detail.
 Perhaps I shall find myself with more time later on while here and will let you hear from me again.

 Green Forest, Ark. Dear Madam:-JuSt line or so to thank you for your kindness in sending The Tribune to us, away out here in the west.
 We most assuredly appreciate the paper and are enclosing a little change, that it may continue to make its appearance in our little home for sometime to come.
 We are real happy and satisfied with our lot and hope sometime, ere many more years roll over our heads, to vis- it you, in your own homes and places of business. We live in beautiful valley where everything is pretty and green and oranges and lemons grow by the thousands of acres. The greatest part of the county is under irrigation and is irrigated by the means of thous- ands of miles of cement-ditches and pipe lines. Out on the dry land, the farmers principal crop is beans, both the lima, or butter beans, as they are often called, and the black-eye. These beans ranches are of greater size than most of the orchards that are being managed by one individual.
 Thanking you again for your kind ness and wishing you great success in your business, we are,
 Yours most respectfully,

Falling Off in Munitions.

Recently private but trustworthy re-
ports have been received by the Asso-
ciated Press that the German authori-
ties were experiencing difficulty in
preventing a falling-off in the produc-
ton. of munitions owing to the lower
ing of the working capacity OF the in
dividuai. underfed Workmen and the
scarcity of certain raw materials,
notably the more rare metals used in
the manufacture of high-grade steels.

ton was interrupted temporarily last
year because of transport difficulties.
