Dear Friend:

don't write more often. 1t is hard for
me to write because | can't seem to

you about.
Am getting along fine and am feel
ing o. X.
We have made move and are now
situated in the prettiest country I
ever saw. There are large Sloping
fields covered with green grass from
four to six inches tall besides smaller
fields under cultivation. Together
these fields look like u huge patch
work quilt. The farms here are not
cut up by fences the same as at home
but instead. stones are set in the
ground to separate fields. We can see
the roads that wind down the sides
of mountains and along the sides of
canals. There are a large number of
inland canals in France and most al
ways a road along each side. We
have no steep hills but long grades.

of the hospital and am staying in it
nights. | set up my cot when through
work at night, and stretch my shelter
over it, which keeps out the draft.
The truck is covered with a large
canvas. Honest it is fine, beats the old
billets all hollow
am writing on the steering wheel
which YOU will probably realize when
you try to read this letter.
Osgood's friend wrote him that you
don't get letters from me regularly.
Probably they are hung up some
where because l have written to you

Well - it's nearly my supper

Wilhelm Riqht for Once

While our confidence in the integrity of Will
helm Hohenzollern was never less, we are
bound to admit that in a certain indiscreet
moment he blurted out truth of special in
terest. During an interview granted in his
Dutch refuge he made a poignant reference to
America, where, he said, he still has some
loyal friends
We are we'll aware that there are friends of
the former kaiser still in our midst. and while
his majesty has released his officers from their
oath of fealty to their erstwhile sovereign these
friends appear to consider themselves still bound
to the Hohenzollern. They have been very
quiet of late but as the world progresses to-
ward peace they are again showing signs of life
Among the unsigned conditions of peace we
hope that all loyal Americans will resolve to
keep watchful eye upon these friends of the
former kaiser. 1t will not be long after peace
is settled before they will resume their activities
and it will be easier to recognize them. Those
who will require the most attention, however,
are sure to be more subtle than in the past.
Their first efforts are being directed toward
spreading stories of discord among the allies.
The next step will be attempts to rehabilitate
the German name When they reach this stage
it should be possible to call names and brand
these traitors -at-heart as they deserve-Brook-
