Ionn WAY 70 End.


Personally. I believe the end is q
long way off and il the French and
English can hold on for another year,
then our chances Of being effective will
guarantee the downfall Of Germany.
Any stories you hear about the Ger
mans being on their last legs is pure
twaddle and in my opinion they are
relatively stronger today than they
have ever been. SO in about five years
more we may win at loss Of men
and probably money cost Of 100000
100000 or so. OF course the more you
study the events the more real the me-
cessity OF crushing the Germans be-
comes. No compromise should be the
watchword In every allied mouth and
had rather see the earth depopulated
and start over with good second
Adam and Eve than see drop of Prus-
sian blood In power. You will never
know the extent Of the Prussian bar
barity and no one could make me be-
l1eve there Is any excuse for allowing
them to live IL their destruction can
be accomplished and indeed this will
be difficult job out 1t must be done.
You say you have written me two let
tiers and that yours OF November first
was number three. The first two were
not received and likewise a lot Of other
mail has been lost. Most OF 1t has
been subbed, We hear. Since being
over here have had good opportun-
ity to see q1ite an area OF France that
did not know before. having Travelled
about 10000 miles. mostly by auto.
The way the old men and women and
children are buckling to and raising
crops and taking the places OF tho
men at the front is truly wonderful,
Yesterday I boarded a suburban car
and when was about to get OF out in
the country the conductor showed ME
her four sons on the car, oldest about
ten and told me that their father had
been at the front for three and one
half years. The woman looked strong
as did the boys and she smiled def
antly as she told me that they were
all for the army il needed A French
woman is wonderful creation, in fact
all women are wonderful to me. They
can bear up SO well when great trials
are on. The frugality Of these peo-
pie Is very interesting. Everything
over here is very high In value, COM
pared to pre-war prices For instance,
eggs are about eight cents apiece to
ten cents apiece, SO that you never
get an ancient egg. They are rushed
TO the market right after birth. Well,

WILL STAY IN THE FIGHT
Talks Of Necessity for Crushing Prus-
sianlsm II the World 10
to be Kept
Safe.

! Hugh l.. Cooper, who Is In France
with engineers of the American army
has written to friends here that he
may be transferred to this country
within a month, but that he expects
to continue in the army service. Lieu
tenant Colonel Cooper has about COM
pleted the work to which he was as
signed In France, and has asked for a
transfer. He speaks of the condition
OF the Germans being better than In
years, and that It will take men and
money to end the war, and that 1t will
mot come for long time. He speaks
Of the necessity OF crushing Prussian-
ism, and says that he would rather see
the world start anew than live with
Prussian blood In power.
Here are some extracts from a let
ter which he has written to friends
here:
First let me tell you that I am up
to this date and including the same,
in excellent health. I have lost about
twenty-five pounds without resorting
to any special diet. Just little less
food. not SO rich food, no cream of
any kind and eggs are so high that the
old time French sauces and dressings
are omitted and you should see how
thin they can cut piece of meat. The
item thai will most surprise you will
be my letting you expect me to be
back In America inside OF another
month. When came over, the plan
was that was 70 be the private as
sistant of certain general who then
had extensive engineering works to
build. Shortly after his arrival radical
changes were made. leaving my gen.
erai with nothing much to do OF an
engineering character. Then they be-
gan shooting me around all over
France and in four months had serv-
ice under three other generals and I'm
ally about two weeks ago finished
the work had in hand and asked to
be transferred to the U. s. Tor service
with men with whom am acquainted
and my resignation IL now In and
hope to get the transfer soon. The
rule seems to be that where . man
over military draft age has volunteer
ed for service that up to Q certain
point he IL entitled to q choice a. TO
the character Of service he Will per
form. The four months I have been
in the game have been q wonderful ex-
pertence and my friends over here |
tell me that the little / have accomp- |
lished is enough to entitle me to re. |
tire II / want to, but deny this In the |
first place and in the second place IL
want to stay in the game. but where
can do the most good. The indiyid- /
ual counts for SO little in vastness |
such as we are now up against and |
compared to all past history, this war
its causes and effects, SO oversnacow
the past that words fail in any attempt
at word picturing.

A Marvel of Insect Mechanism.

The sting of certain Indian fly of- fers as marked an example of design in nature as can well be imagined. When seen through magnifying glass it is found to be composed of three sharp blades folded into one. with their cutting edges outward and run ming down to one fine point When the fly inserts this up to the hilt in it's victim the three blades fly apart and then it is seen that each inner edge is beautiful saw. worked by six sep arate muscles. so that when with drawn the instrument rips its way out with a gush of blood. But now comes the most curious provision of all. It would not do to fold up these blades with the blood adhering to them. so each blade is provided at it's base with fine brush of hairs growing out of an oil gland, which provides an anti- septic secretion to keep the blades clean.

FLUTES OF GOLD.
They Have ewsstsr Tonss Than Thess Made of Any Other Material.

Made of Any Other MateriaI.
 By some pretty experiments with organ pipes of different materials Dr. Dayton Clarence Miller. professor of physics in the Case School of Applied Science. Cleveland. O.. has proved that the quality of tone in a wind instru ment depends upon it's material far more than is generally believed. Writ ing of flutes in his book. The Science of Musical Sounds" he says:
 ''The traditional influence of differ ent metals on the flute tone Is con sistent with the experimental results obtained from the organ pipe. Brass and German silver are usually hard. stiff and thick and have but little in- fuence upon the air column. and the tone is said to be hard and trumpet like. Silver Is dense and softer and adds to the mellowness of the tone.
 ''The much greater softness and density of gold add still more to the soft massiveness of the walls. giving an effect like the organ pipe surround ed by water. Elaborate analyses of the tones from flutes of wood. glass. silver and gold prove that the tone from the gold flute is mellower and richer, having a longer and louder Sc. ries of partials than flutes of other ma. terials."
