A Letter From,
Corp. r. Osborne

C. A. Osborne OF 40 Allison. is in
receipt OF letter bearing the date OF
October 3rd. from his son, Corp. n. s.
Osborne. of the 1ssth U. S. Infantry
in France, in which he says:
Dear Father;
II received your letter of August 18th
the other day and was glad to get ii
as you may be assured We have been
so busy since the first of September
chasing Germans that have not had
opportunity to write before. We can
only write when we stop at n place
for couple of days or more We are
resting up from drive on the enemy
now, but will be back at the front in
a short time. ! suppose you have read
all about how we are chasing Fritz.
Well, 1t Is all right TO read about such
things but quite another matter TO do
them. Fritz ran so fast the first day
that we could not keep in sight OF him.
We captured his mess wagons. bands
and everything OF that sort had a
German helmet to send back. but
threw II away and thought ! would get
another but didn't.
Il have been so busy that have been
unable TO answer half the letters that
have come to me. I certainly like to
get my mail but don't have time to
reply to Il as promptly as would like
to do but am doing my best.
I'VE arec amped on the side OF hill
in shelter. tents at present. We came
here the other night in auto trucks
wish we could get so far away from
the roar Of the big guns that we could
not hear them. have heard them for
weeks as the shot passed over our
heads Altho we are now well behind
the lines | heard the booming Of the
artillery this morning as the Germans
laid down a big barrage. The con-
tinued shooting unsettles a fellows
nerves and gets his goat. Must close
for this time, but will endeayor to
write again soon.
"As ever. your son.

Work Of Red Cross
Cannot be Relaxed


Washington, Nov 11.AIselaxation OF
effort by the American Red Cross
chapters should rot be permitted ~nn-
tile peace is really here" declares a
statement sent out by the .ational
War Council to each of the S.S57 chap
ters Of the organization.
But even with peace. says the
message. ''let no one suppose that the
work OF the Red Cross is finished.
Millions of American boys are still un.
der arms Thousands Of them are
sick and wounded. Owing to the
shortage of shipping. it may take a
year or more to bring our boys home
from France
The cessation OF war will reveal a
picture of misery such as the world
has never seen before, especially in
many countries WHICH cannot help
themselves. The American people
will expect the Red Cross TO continue
to act as their agent in repairing
broken spirits and broken bodies
..our spirits must now call us to
show that not the roar of cannon or
the blood of our own a one direct our
activities, but a great people viii con

it is to do was first attempted. The
present apportionment of funds and
allotment OF work eliminates duplica.
tion and wasted effort.
And the need OF doing this service
work is indisputable. The direful re-

Though the war is ended. the need
for the service remains, in fact is aug
mented, and the work Involved per-
haps increased. We all now under
stand that most of our soldiers cannot
return short OF year after the war
ends, since the great body of them
must be kept to hold German forts
and cities and territory to enforce
peace demands and the fuIfillment OF
peace terms. And all those months
will be months OF comparative Idle
ness for our boys. In active warfare
when duties are strenuous and con
stant both on the battlefronts and be

i :. This is believed to have been the first
intimation to reach this city that an
agreement between the belligerents
had been arrived at. although other
messages of the same import began to
pour in few minutes later. AT LEO
o'clock this morning the whistles at
the plants of the Arkansas Valley Rail
way. Light and Power Company and
the Round Crest Canning Company. as
well as railroad engines, were blown
for Is minutes to apprise the people of
the community of the good news.
Many people remained awake during
the remainder of the night to think
over its significance and to congratu-
late themselves that the nightmare Of
war was over and that peace would
again bless mankind.
The veterans of the Civil War were
among the first to take part in today's
celebration. A band of martial music
under their direction took the lead in
plotting the crowds through the
streets. They carried large flag and
played wartime airs upon fife and
