Ny Dear DR.. and Mrs. Gay--First;
before write line OF this letter, |
want to say that ! am more than
ashamed of myself for not having
written to you all before this, but l
hope you will overlook it this time,
Here | am in one of the greatest
training camps of the country, SOL
dier two months old, and liking it
better every day.
We were at Camp Clark, Nevada,
Mo-, for a month before we came
down here little over week ago,
and you cannot imagine the wonder
ful advancement the regiment has
made in this short time. We are sure
real soldiers now. But now, just as
we were coming along fine and MAX
ing name for the 5th Missouri, along
comes this order from the War Col
lese to merge all National Guard
regiments. You have probably read
Of this move in the papers, and Of
course, from standpoint of efficiency
it was the only thing to do. In short,
the idea Is this: The mode OF fight
ing in Europe now in the French and
English armies requires $50 men to a
company of Infantry. Heretofore
our companies have consisted OF only
$50 men at war strength; and OF
course they had to be brought up tt
this new number. The plan at frs
was to fiji up with drafted men from
the various National Army Camps;
but they have figured that if they
consolidate two regiments Of men who
have already had some training, the!
would be ready tor tho front mucl
sooner. This OF course Ia very
plausible, aud so we are no longer tn
9Th Missouri N. G., but the 13sth In
fantry, Y. s. A., formed by merging
us with the 1st Missouri Infantry. Thi
will change things oil around. In th
first place, we will lose our captain
in fact have already done 50, as tn
companies were consolidated yester
day and the captain Of II Company {
the first, being the ranking captain
took charge.
Well, II you ever in all your life sa,

should have seen the men OF II OF :th

lose Capt, Mcdonald. He " just

gained the love and respect Of ever

we have been out. The man we Al
getting for captain 10 a mighty nr
man, but | don't think he will eve
replace Capt. Mcdonald. Also thei
are some Of we non.commissione
who will lose our jobs with the con
pany. However, we will not lose ov

TAFT DECLA ARES FOUR YEARS
 OF WAR YET
Says the United State E Really Is Fighting to Help the German
 People.

NEW YORK, Dec. 5. @ Former President Howard Taft in addressing the American Society of Mechanical Engineers here, said the United States must fight until Germany was decisively beaten.
 He said the remainder of the war would be fought on the west ern front.
 "It may take three or four years, ' said the speaker. We really are fighting for the German people, and must continue to fight to separate them from their ruler. The only way to do that is to hit them over the head with club"
 He urged that all engineering and medical students be exempted from military service and allowed to complete their studies The speak CT added that it will be hard for future generations to comprehend why Germany forced the United States into the war.

STOCK EXCHANGE IS GIVEN A ROAST FOR
 NOT CURBING BEARS

NEW YORK, Dec. 5.-Officials of the Delaware X Hudson Railroad Go. criticised the New York Stock Exchange authorities recently for not taking more energetic steps to curb the bear raiding of the stock of that corporation, to which they attribute it's recent decline to the net low record price. The fact that the stock is loaning at a premium of $32 on each 100 shares borrowed, points, they say, to the existence of large short interest. The Gov ernors of the Stock Exchonge say it is loaning at a high premium because it is difficult to borrow rather than because there have been efforts to depress the price and force liquidation.
