 been for week. but we do not know how many prisoners have been taken nod how many guns or casualties. The French papers are all censored until they contain as little news as this letter. It is necessary. of course.
 You won't hear any brilliant ac- count of me, Bill. This war is too big proposition, and there are too many things to be considered, that the chances of even getting a cita- tion in the orders, are slim. I will consider my career in the army worth the effort if I can be steady and cool when the big test comes, and be able to perform my work in such a way that some material dam- age to the enemy may be the direct result. I want to know that I per sonally contributed information or directed an operation that killed some German. I don't care how many, and I want to see their kraut sodden carcasses. and then I will be con- tent to take my place in the ranks of the common people again. As one of. ficer said, "even if we never get to the front, we will be able to attend the reunions when we get home."
 You say you wish they would take yoI into the army. If you want to help win this war. why in hell don't you pull stakes and get into the ship yards. We need ships. We don't need men. We've got millions and food means ships, and submarines mean more ships.
 Every time I think of the mutton have eaten in a world full of beef steak, I feel like asking for a leave and going home and personally and individually kicking the bottom of every bird I meet who is not produc- ,, ing food, or building ships, unless he l is already in an industry directly connected with the war.
 If the A. C.-is working below top speed, give them my compliments and tell all the men you know that the shipyard is the spot if they can qualify. There is more to do in Am erica than here. Give us the stuff and we will blow the Kaiser SO dar1 far it will take a million dollars to send him post card. Any industry not working to capacity in these times is either not doing it's part or is not an essential industry. The war may or may not last long, but its length vii be determined as much by industry as by men. You are the judge of that, Bill, but I know we need ships and it is a good game to get into. I am going to try to get into that or the auto industry when come home.''

 FROM THE FRONT
LIT. DALTON AND PVT. FETTER
 " TELL ABOUT THINGS OVER THERE-MESSRS. MARTIN AND

The Copper Era has been handed the following letters from Lieut.. s. L. Dalton and Private A. F. Fetterly, who are both with Pershing's forces and fighting democracy's battles to repel the Huns. Lieut.. Dalton's let ter is dated August 3, and is an inter- esting document.
 Private Fetterly is member of Go. F., 355 Infantry, A. E. F. Both are well known here, and their numerous friends will read their interesting let ters with considerable pleasure, and all will be glad to know that both are well pleased with army life, thouah it is clear to see that many of the comforts of home are sadly missed

We have been out in the rifle range today, and I did pretty good, considering we had to shoot in a drenching rain. I don't think I will have to handle rifle much, as I am now bomber, that is, I throw bombs in dugouts and trenches. A fellow has to be pretty careful in handling them, or his name is mud.
 These little French villages appear queer to us recently from the states. A few wine houses, couple of stores and a church. The people live in stone buildings with bright red roffs I have always heard it said of the Irish that they allowed the pig to dwell in the parlor, but over here they pig, run in and out of the houses all the time

 We left Camp Travis and after considerable dust and ham sandwich es, arrived at Camp Mills. Camp Mills is on Long Island and in a very pretty section. I journeyed over to New York a few times and took in the sights, everything I could find from 5th Avenue to the Battery Statue of Liberty. etc. By the way, that old talk about climbing upon the torch in the hand of the statue, is all bunk.

Dalton says at times he feels like getting a furlough and coming back home and kicking the daylights out of the slackers who are doing noth- ing towards producing food or build ing ships to sustain the mutton-eating armies in France.
 "HeII, Heaven or Hoboken.."
 Private Fetterly's letter to MT. Martin is as follows:
 Well, Harry, the good old U. S. A. looks good to me, and I don't think it will be long before we will go back, as the Tanks are giving the Germans hell everywhere, and Gen eral Pershing says that the boys win either be in 'hell heaven or Hobo ken, within the next ninety days.

Autos Collide

Autos Collide
 While returning home Tuesday night Duncan McNeil's car collided with an other car near the passenger station. Both cars were going at lively clip, MT. McNeil driving far to the right, and the north bound car also on the proper side of the street. A witness to the accident stated that the driv- CT of the north bound car seemed to lose his control, and pulled his car ,across the street. directly in front of Nr. McNeil. The radiator of the Mc- Neil car was damaged. The owner Of the other car was not known, and MT. McNeil forgot to get his car num- Der. Both cars were stopped, and the other gentleman stated that he would come forward next day and pay the damages, but MT. McNeil stated he failed to show up Wednesday as agreed. Fortunately MT. McNeil ap- piled his brakes in time to avert a serious accident, as soon as he ascer- tained that collision was likely. A better observance of the speed law is suggested.

Leaves Clifton
 Miss J. Mary Carlston, who has been a stenographer in the general offices of the A. c. company for nearly seven years, leaves this morning for San Francisco, where she will re- main permanently. Her going at this time is hastened on account of the illness of her brother, who is in that city.
 During her long residence in Clifton Miss Carlson has made many friends here who will hear of her departure with genuine regret, and whose best wishes go with her to her new home.

Former French Premier
Says Reply of President :
Was Well Timed

Paris. Oct. 10.-Rene Viviani. former
premier, writing on President Wilson S
reply to Prince Macmillan, in the Petit
Journal, says:
THE reply was we'll timed. Had it
come too soon it would have permitted
the Germans to say that it was not born
of wise meditation. Had it been sent
too late it might have given them the
impression that the Entente nations
were divided and had to come to an
agreement.
THE note is firm without brutality;
lofty but devoid Of that insolence with
which Germany has so often acconpa-
MED her trampling Of the vanquished.
1t is substantial, furnishing irrefutable
arguments for the reason and conscience
of everybody, even in Germany. Some
might have preferred that 1t be more
trenchant, but when blood 10 flowing
from SO many gaping wounds no man
can lightly answer with a simple denial
such proposals-without leaving to Ger
many the apparent profit of an appeal
to humanity.
IF the Germans designs are honest
we shall see it. II they wish to deceive
the world-st!ll prey to that mental
bleUsh which makes them consider
other men as inferiors-we shall also
see it. 1t is for Prince Macmillan of
Baden to speak"

London Papers Demand
More Than Unconditional
Surrender by Enemy

London, Oct. 9.--The demand for
something more than unconditional
surrender for Germany is becoming
intensified in the newspapers here.
Letters recalling the cries Of Ger
many and urging retribution include
one from Prof Spenser Wilkinson,
who declares that a condition prec-
edent for the cessation Of hostilities
should be the Occupation by the AL
lies of Metz, Strassburg, Mainz,
Trent, Triest and Pola.
Viscout Middleton, former Sec
rotary of state for India. asks that the
Allies make declaration that peace
shall not be made until retribution
is exacted from German towns for
vandalism in France. The Times
describes the enemy's policy Of burn
ing and destroying towns as he re-
treats as a Cruel and mean black
mail and says that German towns
like Hamburg and Frankfort ust be
marked down for ransom in return
for French and Belgian towns wan
tonly destroyed.

With the Anglo-American Forces
on the Cambrai-St. Quentin Sector.
Oct. TO- P. M.-(By the Associated

their rapid movement eastward to-

which they encountered at times
from strong enemy rear guards who

The British cavalry moving astride
the Cambrai-Lecateaux road, cap
tured LIE Cateau and moved beyond
it after overcoming enemy machine
gun posts. Just north Of here the
infantry, many hours afterward
reached Neuvilly. The Germans were
in some strength on the east side of
the Sole river at this point and used
their guns vigorously. The town was
taken and passed. Caudy and many
other towns are burning as the Ger
mans continue their incendiarism and
destruction Other important ad-
vances have been made and notwith-
standing the enemy's flight more than
1000 additional prisoners have been
taken since yesterday. One army of
the three participating in the opera

many more tonight. The others I'M
doubtedly have done as we'll. The
Germans are still in full flight but

FAVOR WITH SEMI
OFFICIAL STEFAN NEWS

Rome, Oct 10-"The naswer of the
American government to the propos-
ais of the Central Powers is what
the whole Entente in it's soul, looked
for" says the semi-official Stefanl
News Agency. THE terms used in
answering the German note are a
clear demonstration that President
Wilson is aiming at just and last
ing peace"
1T is now for the Central Powers
to show by their acts that in making
a proposal for an armistice they were
inspired by that good faith upon
which President Wilson makes the
possibility of conducting negotiations
to a happy issue depend. The Italian
government is alive to its duties and
is proceeding in most complete agree
ment with its Allies. 1t is sure of
interpreting the unanimous desire of
the nation"

Doubtful Dates Of the Bible
(From the Christian Herald)

lFrom the Christian Herald)
The chronological references found
on the margin of many Bibles are be-
lieved to have been the work Of
Bishop USHER. a prelate of the Irish
Church, who lived in the sixteenth
century and was a famous authority
on Bible history. Taking the year 1
A. D. as his point Of departure, he
reckoned backward in Bible History,
and his calculations are given. not as
authoritative. but as mere helps to
Bible Study. The Bible itself fixes no
date for creation. Later revelations
in the form of monuments, inscrip-
tions. etc. have shewn the fallacy Of
useless computations.
