A Letter From the Border.

Miss Clara Allen has received the
following letter from a cousin in the
First Minnesota, N. G., in Texas:
81 must tell you we moved back to
civilization again and I like it here
first rate, and do not care if we stay
here until spring. This is one of the
incest cities I have ever been in, San
Antonio.
Our camp is located about one mile
from center of city and is only a few
minutes ride on the street car from
camp, the street car line runs right
by our camp, so you see it is pretty
nice. The weather cannot be beaten
and this country is just swell, no
swamps no cactus, like there was in
Llano Grande. We are now about
three hundred miles from the border
so don't expect to get into skirmishes
with the bandits here as there.
This is larger camp than Llano
Grande, being about thirty thousand
soldiers here. We have electric lights
in our tents, hot and cold water in our
shower baths and everything is up to
date, so that makes quite difference
We also have good artesian we'll water
to drink and that is the best part of
all. We have to drill a little harder
here than we did at Llano Grande,
but don't mind that. The weather is
not so hot here as at that place so
that helps some too. Sleep with our
tent doors open and only a thin blan-
ket on and do not feel cold, so you
can imagine what weather is like. l
see by the paper, that weather is aw-
fully cold in Minnesota. It don't
seem possible to US guys here in this
climate. I don't know how long we
will stay here. It all depends on Gen.
eral Funston, what he says, GOES.
There are all kinds of oil wells
around here. / am going to see them
pump some day. They all belong to
John D. of course. We are picked by
General Funston as the best regiment
on the border and that is why he is
holding US. We were the only regi-
ment on the border that was trans
ferred to this camp so that sure is
some boost for the First Minnesota.
Well, it's near time for lights to be
out so must close. May see you folks
by April.
Your cousin,
BENNIE NELSON,

GERMANS SMASH

committee DR.. Won Kuehlmann made
a speech in which he saids
"All eyes at the present moment are
turned toward the extent to which
Russia has set the world ablaze. The
gang of bureaucrats and sycophants,
rotten to the core, overruling the weak
and misguided though probably we'll
meaning autocrat, surreptitiously
brought about the mobilization Of that
country, which was the actual and i'm
mediate cause of the great catastrophe
which befell the world.
Nov. however, Russia has swept
aside the culprits, and she is laboring
to find through an armistice and peace
an opportunity for her internal re-
construction. I need not supplement
the clear words in which the chan
cellor yesterday stated the attitude of
the German government toward these
aims. Here again our policy, will ad-
here to the principle of firm but
moderate craftsmanship based on
facts. The principles hitherto an
nounced to the world by the present
rulers in Petrograd appear to- be en-
tirely acceptable as a basis for re-or-
ganization affairs in the east, a re-
organization which,, while fully taking
into account the right Of nations to
determine their own destinies, is caf-
culated permanently to safeguard the
essential interests Of the great neigh
boring nations, Germany and Russia.
II am profoundly satisfied that we
shall be able to pursue this course in
full agreement with our allies and, I
take it, also with the almost unani-
nous moral support Of the represent
tatives of the German people here as
sembled,-,a fact which will give our
action necessary weight

THE WRONG CHILD.
Doctor 1nj6 Gets An Anti-roxin Into
Healthy Girl; Costs Him $50.

Yonkers, N. Y, Dec. lit cost DR..
Paul J. Bauerberg, of 1874 South
Broadway, just $50 to inject an anti
toxin for whooping cough into the
wrong patient. Because the physician
by mistake gave the treatment to a
child who was healthy, a jury in the
city court yesterday awarded DAM
ages of $50 to Laura Dello, five years
old. of 40 Riverside avenue.
The testimony in the case showed
that on October s last, DR.. Bauerberg
was called to the Riverside avenue ad-
dress to treat Ruby Cramer, five years
old, for whooping cough. Upon his
second trip he went into the wrong
apartment by mistake and, seeing the
Dello girl, who was alone, he made
the injection. She testified today that
she thought he was Jack the Ripper"
After the treatment she tainted and
was i'll for some weeks under the care
of a physician. Her parents testi-
fed that she lost fifteen pounds as q
result.
DR.. Bauerberg said that he had gone
to the apartment that he thought was
the Cramers. There he saw a little
girl.
How do you feel today?" he asked.
''All right" responded the girl.
Thereupon he made the injection
and left the place.
