Germans Kept in Dark.

AS late as September 20 many of the
Germans at the front were still ig-
norant of the fact that the United
States is in the war against their
country; nor would they believe
1t when taken prisoner until they were
marched up TO the post where the
American flag was flying. This and
many other interesting facts about the
part the American soldiers are playing
in the war are told in letter which
Charles Malone, of New York, an en-
plOye of the American steamship line,
has just received from his brother,
James Malone, mechanic with the
Red Cross at the front in France. Fol-
lowing are excerpts from the letter,
which was dated France, Sept. 30":
I'VE all think the war will be over
before the winter One reason for this
belief is the looks of things on the Ger
man side. The Germans are beginning
to realize that the empire is doomed.
The people in Germany are only now
beginning to learn the real truth about
the war.
I'VE got quite a number Of German
prisoners the other night, and when
we told them that they were in the
hands of American soldiers they would
hOl DCliGNC us ulllll we drought
past the post where the American flag
was flying.
MY partner who was with me when
we got them, asked them In German
what they thought ABOUT the war now
that America was fighting against
them. They said none Of the German
soldiers in the trenches ever learn Of
anything going on in the outside
world
'They told us that Germany is in a
terrible plight in regard to food The
soldiers we captured had been fed on
some sort of broth made of potato
peels and water. 1t was horrid look
ing stew, and the black bread that
went with it looked to me like burnt
wood.
Another reason we have for believ-
ing it's all up with the Germans is
that not long ago the British captured
line of trenches and got boys rang
ing from Is to 1S years. Eleven hun
dred Of them were captured, and /
guess twice as many were killed when
the trenches were blown up"

Auctioneer Harry Cranke was in

the Ed Nelson sale Wednesday was a
complete success, everything selling at
astonishingly good figures. The total
sales amounted to about $8000-fully
$4,000 more than Mr.. Nelson had fig
ured upon getting. Messrs. Cranke
and Zuver acted as auctioneers which
always insures a good sale. The

Herman and Henry Hussman were

visiting with home folks, from their

Sweetwater. They planted 120 acres
and say their crop is about the best of
any in that section and that they ex-
pect yield of from 400 to 500 pounds
per acre. This is only about half an
average crop, but with the price
double that of former years the returns
are not SO bad after ALL At this time
buyers are offering 123c per pound
and in some instances as high as 16c
and tic has been paid, and the boys
confidently expect to get at least 15c
just as soon as the beans are threshed
and in saleable shape.

Instead of the regular prayer meet

class was held in order that those who
desired to attend the school entertain

larly held Thursday evenings in the
basement of the M. Z. Church South.
Prof. Kennison possesses a remarkably
wide and comprehensive knowledge of
the Bible and is teacher OF rare abil-
