Dear Dad:

Can you read this writing? I'll

it because dad, guess what I've
done, broke my arm. Well. | guess
! don't care because it didn't hurt,
much, and now l get to do just
what | want to at school, and be-
sides the fellows said l can wear a
bar on my coat because l was do
ing special detail work when | got
my blightie, that's the right word,
isn't in dad, | thought so.
You see Bill Hadley and I de-
cided we better have our regiment
do some scout practice so after
school we got all the ORDINARY
privates down there in the trench
on the cOmmuns, to do the shoot
ing, while Harold Jones and Tom
Harlow and l went up in one of
those obszurving balluns and tele-
phoned down just how to fight.
Tom said we could have their
clothes basket so we put her up in
that old apple tree there on the
side of the commons, and it was a
little wobblyish because we
couldn't find any place where the
branches would come out just even.
but it would of been alright if
only Tom had done like l said.
l got those opera glasses of
mothers so | could see the other
trenches better and they worked
real well even if they were those
white pearl things. so gave the di-
rections to Tom and he telephoned
them down while Harold was run
ming the engines and everything.
because you know, dad, Harold's
uncle Is out there in Fort Omaha
doing that, too and Jonsey knows
all about it.

working too. When I'd say 1.-TWO

gen. PERSH|NG
/ MAY LEAD AN ARMY
Likely to Command British amp
French Troops.
NEW POLICY OF ALLIES
Any Division In Which American
Troops Predominant Will Be
Turned Over To "BIack
Jack"

Washington. General Pershing
probably soon will be commanding
French and British troops as the proc
ess of brigading American units with
their allies on the western front goes
forward.
AS if exemplifying the unity of com.
mand and action into which the Unit.
ed States and its coIbelligerents have
entered, it became known here that
whenever American troops FREEDOM
mate in the brigaded divisions as the
process goes on, these divisions, un-
der present plans, will be turned over
to General Pershing's command.
This plan would accomplish several
things which the military authorities
consulting upon it regard as very de.
sirable. 1t would rapidly increase the
size of the American fighting com.
mand on the battle line; it would con-
tribute tremendously to the spirit Of
unity and concerted effort, and at the
same time, instead of holding large
numbers of American troops behind
the lines while training, would sur
round them with seasoned veterans
and under actual battle conditions
school them to be rebrigaded later
with fresh American troops coming to
France. In this way the efficiency Of
the British and French forces. is eg-
pected to be increased and the work
of building up great, fully trained
and completely equipped fighting force
in France is expected to be fastened.
In addition to this, as illustrative
of the unity of command under which
Foch directs all the allied armies, it
was stated officially here that
Foch commands the Italian troops
in Italy as fully as he does the Amer.
lean, British and French troops in
France and Belgium. There has been
no question that Foch commanded
the Italian troops in France and it
had been supposed that, considering
the Italian front as part of the west
ern battle under a decision reached
at the Versailles conference, the gen.
eralissimo's authority extended there.
For the first time, however, it was
stated unreservedly that General
Foch's supreme command extended to
Italy.
1t was stated also that Italy, besides
now sending troops to France in num-
bers equal to those being sent from
the United States, now has on her
fighting line larger army, more per-
fectly equipped than she had before
the great Austrian drive. This may
be explanatory of the apparent eqau-
nimity with which the Allied leaders
face recurrent reports of a new drive
on the Italian front.
The information that the brigadad
Allied divisions in the west probably
will be placed under the command of
General Pershing when the numbers
of American troops contained in them
predominant, was taken to mean that
the same principle would operate
when the predominating numbers
were French or British.

Washington Hopeful.

Washington.-With more than $780,
900 men now in France, army officials
are more than ever hopeful that a
powerful American force will be CO.
operating with the Allies there by the
end of the year. Unhappy experience
with over-sanguine estimates of what
can be accomplished makes them slow
to put their hopes into definite predic-
tions, however, and it was not possible
to obtain specific confirmation of the
report from Paris that 100000 fight
ing troops before January 1 had been
promised.
The statement in Premier Clemen-
ceau's newspaper that such a promise
had been made was not believed by
army officers generally to mean that
the American Government should def
initely pledge itself to deliver specific
number of men within time limit
Many factors are involved in making
such calculation months in advance.
Secretary Baker would make no COM
ment on the statement. Many weeks
ago he told the Senate Military Com
mittee, however, that the Government
then had hopes of getting 100000 to
the front during the year. Since then
his estimate that 100000 men would
reach France early in the year has
been fulfilled and since then, also the
German drive has changed the whole
course of events and brought about a
speeding up of American participation,
which has already shown results.
The French article indicates that IN
der the program a total of 100000
American troops would reach France
during the year, 100000 of which
would be fighting units. Whether that
result can be obtained depends on the
shipping situation. The men and the
essential equipment for them can be
ready.
Under the authority sought by Presi-
dent Wilson to organize as large an
army as it is found possible to train,
equip and transport, it is known that
officials expect at least 100000 men
to be under arms during the next -
months. Many believe that even a
larger force can be handled, as it now
appears quite probable that a total of
100000 during the year will be nearer
the mark.

100 MEN THOUGHT DEAD.
Explosion And Fire In Big Chemical
Plant Near Pittsburgh.

Pittsburgh. - Probably 100 men
were killed when an explosion of T.
N. T. demolished the plant of the
4Etna Chemical Company, at Oakdale,
on the Panhandle division Of the Penn
sylvania Railroad, 16 miles from this
city.
Five hundred worllmen in the ex-
p,osives plant were startled by re-
port not much louder than the crack
of a pistol 1t came from the soda
house, but they knew its deadly i'm
port, and as one man they rushed for
the nearest exit Before they could
gain the open the very air seemed
to burst into flames, the earth beaved
and rocked and with a roar that was
heard for miles the Ions factory build
i1gs were hurled high into the air,
carrying with them ponderous equip
ment and scores of men. A great
cloud of dust and smoke settled over
the scene, and through its deadly
fumes torn and mangled forms
dropped to the earth, many dead, but
others to meet their end in the flaming
debris.

THIRD LOAN TOTAL
About II, 900, 900 People Bought
Bonds.
THREE LOANS COMPARED
Richmond Eighth In Percentage-Mc-
Adoo Declares 1t Americas
Most Successful Loan
Offer.

Washington.-The total of the Third
Liberty Loan is $4,170,019, $50, an over
subscription of 80 per cent, above
the three-billion minimum sought. The
number of subscribers was about IT,
100000. Every Federal Reserve dis
trict oversubscribed, the Minneapolis
district going to 172 per cent, the
highest, and the New York district to
124 per cent, the lowest.
In announcing these figures, the
Treasury explained that the total may
be changed slightly by later reports
from Federal Reserve banks, which
have been at work for a week tabu-
lating the great number of subscrip-
lions which came in during the last
days of the campaign.
This is the most successful loan
the United States has offered, both in
number of subscribers and in the
amount realized" said Secretary Nc
Adoo in a statement every subscrip-
ton was made with the full knowl-
edge that allotment in full was to be
expected, unlike the first loan, when
allotments were limited to $2,000,000,-
coo, and the second loan, when allot-
ments were limited to one-half the
oversubscriptions. l congratulate the
country on this wonderful result,
which is irrefutable evidence of the
strength, patriotism and determine
ton of the American people.
This great result was achieved not
withstsnding the fact that the country
has been called upon to pay since the
second Liberty Loan and to and in
Guiding the month of June, income and
excess profits taxes to the amount of
approximately $3,O00,000,000, which
will make a total amount turned into
the Treasury of the United States
from such taxes and the third Liberty
Loan of about 100000, 900"
Total subscriptions to the second
loan were $4,616,0O0,00O and the
amount accepted was $3,80S, 600.
Pledges to the first loan ran above
So, 600 100000, but the loan was limited
to $2,000,000,000. Subscribers to the
second loan numbered about $9,500,000
and to the first loan about $4,500,000.
The feat of the Atlanta district,
standing forth in the final percentage
list, was the topic of favorable COM
ment about the Treasury. Through
out nearly all of the four weeks cam
pa:gn the district stood at the bottom,
owing to the hardness of banks to
report subscriptions and of subscribers
to place their pledges on record by
payment of the first per cent INSTALL
ment.
The New York district, the largest
contributor, with s1,114,930,7O0, more
than fourth of the total, held the bot
tom position on the percentage table
because big business interests with
headquarters in New York, and bank
ing institutions, failed to subscribe
heavily to the loan, owing to imni-
hence of Federal tax paying time.
