ostensibIy fighting on that side, the
real and unseen power behind all this
was working for Germany.
It was the pro-German party, COW
ertly, that armed the Russian troops
with sticks and crowbars for guns,
provided their cannon with ammuni-
ton that fitted German artillery, but
} not their own, sent them to destruC-
ton or defeat, surrendered them by
the thousand, and soaked the soil of
Poland with their blood, needlessIy
sacrificed.
The extent Of this colossal treason
staggers the imagination and makes
all the fiction in the world look tame.
It has greatly prolonged the war, cost
hundreds Of thousands Of lives, vast
ed millions of treasure and laid upon
the patient people a burden under
which they will stagger for genera
tons.
All for the sake of the HohenzoI-
Ierns and the supremacy of the kings.
And now all this, or most Of it, is
revealed as come to naught.
Russia has awakened from it's
filthy monarchical trance. A democ-
racy at last, she has now taken her
true place with the other democ-
racies, fighting the mad dog Of mo-
narchism, now in it's last lair.
They sang the MarseilIaise in the
streets of Petrograd, and at the news
all democrats around the world sang
with them!
They had reason to sing. These
democrats have left Germany and
Austria the only aUtocracies in Eu-
rope. They have made the issue of
this war so clear that no longer can
either a liar or a coward side-step it.
Democracy against autooracy, the
people against the thronesl
The last great struggle, clean cut,
sure, unmistakabIe. The world for
the kings or the world for its people.

Dear Mother:
We got to Eft. Logan all right
and stayed there about four days,
an are now on our way to Fort
Bliss, Tex. We have sure got a
swell car to ride in. l like it fine.
I like the scenery fine and am
getting fat as butter. Army life
is the only life. / don't suppose
we could get a furlough before
six months or a year..
The mountains are sure beau
tiful up here. The nights are SO
cold we just about froze. There
are about 500 of us going in two
trainloads to Ft. Bliss.
I never saw SO many pine trees
in my life. l haven't tasted a
bite Of butter since | left. The
grub is plain, but good. You
won't know me when | get back
The rocks are sure big out here
and plenty of them.
Down at Ft. Bliss they have
about 10000 men. You will have
to excuse this writing because
am on the train. Well, goodby,
HOWARD SHELTON.

enjoyed the country. Some of it
has sure been lovely and some
isn't so nice. Texas is the worst
state ever want to be in. All
the boys were SO glad the morn
ing we got word that we were to
leave, they hardly knew where
they were at, and I was one of
them; but it is fine here. | sure
do like it. The strawberries are
ripe. There are 5000 acres of
park, SO we have lots of range.
We crossed the Mississippi on a
steamership that put two sections
of coaches on it at a time, and
then went back. after the rest.
About 100 miles from New Or
leans we crossed lake of water.
They called it a lake, but it looked
like the sea to me. The trestle
was nine miles long. Then we
crossed a canyon two miles long
and about one-half mile deep.
Then we went through two tun-
nels, one two miles long and the
other one and one.half miles.
| think we go. to California the
next move we make. That's the
news we got this morning.
hope we do. Well, | can't think
i,of much more to write. Goodbye.
