teach the blind. Registrants fol

THIS SOLDIER BOY IN OLD
SPANISH FORTIFICATION
, of the Officers Reserve Corps.
Private Gottschalrs letter follows:
United States Marines,
Santo Domingo City,
Oct. 13, 1917.


Dear Sister:
l arrived here on Thursday and
am located in an ancient Spanish
fort overlooking the sea. l am sleep
ing tonight just within the fortress
wall. On the outside it is a long
drop down cliff to the water where
the surf beats against the rocks and
on the inside of the wall are inches
containing crucifiXes and madonnas
Just below the window, which
once was an old Spanish cannon port
hole, is a giant tree to which, the
historians say, Christopher Colum-
bus, tied his ship six hundred years
ago. Behind the fort is a great
cathedral containing the bones of
Columbus. And the rest of the city
looks for all the world like as If it
were as old as Rome. There are
geat Spanish forts, cathedrals and
palaces worn with age and torn by
the wars and earthquakes of the
centuries.
You will realize that it is impos-
sible for me to tell you much at this
time. I will write both you and
mother more fully at a more oppor-
tune time. l had q wonderful trip
here, seeing all the Bahamas, visit
ing Port-au- Prince, Haiti, etc. Now
l have been assigned, perhaps for n
considerable length of time, to work
at headquarters which is located,
by the way, in the palace (the U. S.
has taken over the government of
this turbulent republic), and 1 have
urgent need of my glasses. Kindly
have them sent to me insured in a
safe receptacle as quickly as posi- BILE
as ! will not get them for several
weeks at the least.
l am timing this letter to go out
by to-morrow's boat. We only have
a couple of mail steamers a month.
With love to you and mother.
ALVIN.

States If this nation becomes involved

Monday The Mexican government S
representative, r. p de Negri. deliv-
cred to Secretary of State Lansing a
memorial to the neutral nations of the
world by General Carranza, proposing
mediation between the European bel
ligerents and, If this fails, an embargo
by all .neutrals of the export of war
munitions and food. Carranza offers
the plan as a means of starving the
belligerents into peace.
Inasmuch as such an embargo
would aid Germany and injure the al
lies and, as Germany once urged the
United States to impose such an EN-
barge, the action of Carranza aroused
the suspicion that he has yielded to
German influence.
1t was suggested that 'Carranza may
contemplate shutting off the supply of
Mexican oil to the British warship.
