iowa MAYORS CHARGE
DENIED BY COCKTAILS

Washington, March I'm a memo
randum prepared for Secretary Bak-
err Major General Goethals, acting
quartermaster general, today denies
a complaint by Mayor o. Mosher, of
Walnut, Ia, that the bread fed TO
soldiers lacks nutrition.
TT is not true that soldiers are
being forced to use a bread from a
-four that the government declared
to be 'bled white by the miilers, as
stated by Mr.. Mosher," General Goe-
thals says. THE greatest care is
taken by the quartermaster's depart
ment to see that the bread issued TO
the soldiers is nutritious, wholesome
and tasty in every respect"
Bread, General Cocktails says, Is
being made in the various camps in
which from 10 to 30 per cent Of corn
meal, rye, barley, rolled oats and
rice are used for substitutes, depend
ing upon the locality and facilities
with which the supply can be fur
nished.

MAJOR HANLEY'S
SALARY IS HELD
State Auditor Asks Opinion
Whether Jurist Can
Draw Two Salaries

Bismarck, N. D., March 2.-Maj. J.
NJ. HanIey's salary as judge OF the
Twelfth judicial district Is being held
up by State Auditor RositZlEy pend
ing the receipt OF an opinion which
he has asked from Attorney General
LANCER as to the legality Of the
turist's drawing two salaries-one as
major Of a battalion in Uncle Sans
expeditiOnary forces in France, aXhi
the other as a district judge in North
Dakota.
Il have been paying Judge Han
ley's salary regularly without the
filing OF vouchers or other formal :
ties, but am in doubt as to my legal
authority to do So" said the state
auditor today. Major Hanley is re-
ceivinE $4,000 per annum and Judge
Hanley is receiving the Same amount.
Should he be compelled by law TO
relinquish the judgeship. no financial
sacrifice would be involved.
Judge Nuessle Handles Work.
Judge Nuessle of the Sixth dis
trict has been handing Judge Han
Iey's business in addition to his own.
Necessarily there has been some lit
tie delay-the work OF the district
has not been attended TO as prompt
ly as would be possible were one
Judge devoting all Of his time to this
one circuit.
"Our state requires that after
man has been sixty days absent from
the state, his position as public
officer should become automatically
vacant. am not certain, therefore,
that / am not violating the law
when pay Major Hanley his salary.
1t is my opinion that the law re-
quires Governor Frazier to appoint
some one, at least temporarily to fll
the vacancy"
As a courtesy due the bench the
practice of permitting jurists to
substitute for one another, without
pay. has been followed in North Da-
kota from time immemorial.

Dear Mama
This Lovely night I will try and
write you a few lines, as it has
been some time since I wrote you
last. h"re these few lines will find
all Of you we'll and getting along
good. I am enjoying perfect health
at present, and have been ever since
I have been on the American EXpe-
dictionary Forces, excepting a very
slight case Ct La Grippe, which con-
fined me to the Hospital about eight
days. I am working pretty hard at
present. But l can say I am not
the only one. Everyone in this or
ganization is doing their bit, trying
to take care of the wounded boys,
who have been to the front going up
against those Blood Thirsty Huns. l
hope they will soon walk through
Berlin.
All the patients we have here are
getting along fine. There are some
thing like one thousand here now,
and another convoy coming now.
But still you know that is small
number considering the Americans
we have on the front line Believe
me, there is no foolinshnes about
those United States boys. They seem
to know what they are over here for.
Mama, this is a right pretty country
most everything is beautiful. But
the old U. S. A. for me. We have
q beautiful location for our hospital.
We sure were exceptionally lucky to
get where we are. Have good quar-
tiers, and good kitchen, plenty to eat.
-! have the opportunity OF visiting
Paris as much =; three times.
But lots Of times I don't go. You
know persons get tired going to a
city when they don't know any one
at all. 7 often with I could run
across some III the home boys. There
are dozens of boys over here I XII wv,
but haven been lucky enough to see
any Of them.
I received your letters you wrote
me on August 21st, from up home.
received it September 18th. I
consider that pretty good not quite
g month. Certainly was glad to get
your letters for Mama there is moth
ing on each cheers a soldier boy up
like getting letter from dear old
Mother, when he is far away from
her. I hope there is bright day
coming in the near future, when you
can all see us and all the boys can
return to the good old U. S. A, and
meet our loved ones, which we left
behind. l had a letter from Clyde,
and also one from Miss Carpenter
during this week. Clyde sent a pho
to of the two little boys. They GER
tainly look natural. Well, Mama,
it is now 1890, so l must go to my
quarters. Take good care Of your
self, and write me real often. Tell
all the boys to write me. Give my
love to all.
With love and best wishes, am,
