Occasionally there Is line or two fin the war news about weather condl- tions. but 1t is not generally known that weather cuts very important figure in the fighting that is going on along the western front. So impOr- tant did 1t seem to General Pershing that he secured the services of quite q number of the best weather ex- perts in the weather bureau, and they are now doing duty on the western front Efforts were made by num- Der of army officers to have Prof. Will lis Moore, formerly chief of the wealth or bureau, given charge of the wealth CT business in France. Although this was denied, the very best weather prophets the department had on its rolls have been sent over. They were given the rank of major at the time. and it is expected that some of them have been promoted since then.

As an evidence that man Tn hlgh position Is playing no favorites, story was told in the house recently by Con gressman Garrett of Tennessee, about an interview he had with Maj. Gen. Henry T.. Mccain, adjutant general ot the army Garrett went to see Mccain about getting information concerning the son of lady he knew and who was Il second lieutenant in the reserve army in France. After listening to the story. General Mccain said:
 q am in position to sympathize deeply with this lady. l myself, have a son, a captain in the artillery. in France, from whom l have not heard since last December, and an effort to locate him by cable has failed"
 This was brought out in discussion concerning the failure of mail to reach the soldiers in France. It developed that there Is very serious condition and also that mail like everything else that is sent to France, is subject to delay owing to the inadequate facili- ties.

Adjusting ourselves to European war conditions is one of the difii- culties which the government finds necessary to solve as actual hostilities in which United States troops partlci- pate take place. Our ideas of public fly of military matters differ material ly from those of Europe. Our people feel that the soldiers who are in the war are part of themselves and they want to know all about them. especially if they are killed or wounded. The Eu- ropean idea is to keep such facts from the public tO d great extent and the assumption is that in time of war the military arm should be absolutely un- hampered and that anything in the way of information to the general pub lie Is unnecessary.
 No doubt our military authorities are anxious to comply with the desires of the allies as far as possible, but 1t will not be easy to convince our people that information regarding the death or wounding of soldiers Is going to give any information of military value to the enemy Of course, quite mum Der of our military leaders are inclined to support the ideas of the foreign mil itary men, for it is one of the tradi- tions of the service that information to the public is unnecessary and mere. lv caters to a curiosity of the peeuse and might lead to some disaster be- cause the information might be Halus able tO the enemy.
 All these things must he adjusted and it is probable that the American people, anxious for the success of our troops in the field, will accommodate themselves to the regulations which military authorities believe necessary.

Ia Z,
Elk Mt. Pilot.
Dear Editor:-A few lines to let
you know that I am getting the Pi-
lot all right and that l sure love to
read the news from home The Pilot
is like a big letter.
When l came to this camp there
were only hand full of men, but af-
ter l was in camp two weeks the men
were like flies, but they were ship
ping some out too. l had to stay in
camp two weeks without going out
any place and the last day of our i'm
prisonment, twenty of our company
were sent to fight forest fires. l was
one of them. We were out two weeks.
1t was hard work for few days un-
til we trenched around the fire, then
all we had to do was to guard, and
while we were there the lumber peo-
pie gave two dances for us. We sure
had swell time. Now am back in
camp; expect to go to work at the
and up but will have to pay S1.05 of
this for board. We sure get fine
meals and good place to sleep.
There are between 5000 and 5000
men working at this mill, three eight
hour shifts. The saw never stops
only on Sundays when there is no
work. The output of lumber per day
is 100000 feet. Some of the finest
lumber in the world is gotten out
here; it sure is a great sight to see
the mill going. The lumber that is
cut for aircrafts goes into the cars
as soon as it is cut. The other goes
to lumber Yards. They have lots of
men that are called lumber inspec-
tors;they pick out the best. All saws
and everything is run by electricity;
no steam. Only mill and U. S. men
can go to and from the mill. Guards
all around the outer lines. Mr.. John
d. Ryan, Director of Aircraft, spoke
to us the other evening and told us
as soon as they get out enough air
craft lumber that regiment of these
boys will go over seas. | hope when
the ship sails that | am on it bound
for France
At the shipyards in Portland and
Vancouver great work is going on
and they are putting them out every
day. haven't been in Portland much
but Vancouver is nice place; l go
there every night. The camp is at
the outskirts of Vancouver. There
are two bands here, one is called the
Mill band; they both play grand mu-
sic; they are out here on the drilling
ground playing now.
When first got here l got lots of
drilling but now I only get two hours
every day, but it is good two hours
of drilling and sure love to drill.
They are shipping boys to the woods
every day, 5000 are to come this call
from all over the U. S. A.
| Well, have written all the news
can think of just now so will close.
| am well and happy and like Army
life. l send my best wishes to the
boys that go in the future. Give my
best wishes to all in Crested Butte.

Linonine takes that awful kick out of a hard cold and renders it harmless. It is the great farni- ly remedy for all forms of colds and remarkable preventive for the more dangerous winter com plaints of adults and children.
 Have a bottle of Linonine handy at all tirnes-there' no telling what instant it will be needed, especially so for coughs that threaten bronchitis. Nothing quite equals Linonine for bron- chitis.
