 These charities will be such as Mir. Davidson shall designate anr he shall decide the amounts to be given to each. It is provided that each charita ble organization so designated for a be- quest shall raise an equal amount and has five years to do it in, Should any one fail to do so, it will receive only half of what Executor Davidson had designated for it and the other half will go to some charity in Jerusalem.
 The following are the first bequests to be paid before the executor re- duces the estate to residue fund: Real estate at corner of West Main and High streets to Barnet Davidson, in trust for the testator's daughter, Mrs. Annie Goldfarb, until her 35th birthday, then to her absolutely, or to be continued for her heirs in event of her death before 35

 Mintz of Worcester and of Blume Cot 1 ton of Worcester, sisters of the tes-
 tator, $50
 To each of these two sisters, S200. | After the charitable bequests have l been taken from the residue fund, the
 sum of $2O000 is to be held in trust | by Executor Davidson for the benefit of Ida Gordon, the testator's wife, as long as she remains unmarried l Upon her death or marriage, the 1 $20 900 becomes part of the trust ere
 ated for the two daughters, and any
 balance of the residue also goes to the l daughters.
 MT Gordon's will charges the execu- | tors to see that his father, Max Cor don, receives his regular income from
 the stock of the Max Gordon & Son
 corporation, and if this should not
 equal $500 the executor is to make it up to that amount, and also see that Max Gordon has sufficient income ir
 case at any time $500 proves too small to provide for his wants.

Rhine. I guess they have shot their war. They are practically back where they started from. So they think George is around Scotland. Well, he is well off in the little town if it is as quiet as Fitchville. l have seen some places along with the rest of us here that would make anybody's blood boil. Nothing but ruins and devastation everywhere, and this morning 1 was out for a while in the rain and saw any number of dead Germans lying around in the debris and ruins You can smell the stench long before you see them. One step out of my dugout and there are eight German graves with crosses on them. We have done some moving on this front and we have been dog tired some times when we would get to place at night and get settled down in some old cellar or something and be there resting for about three hours, when in would come an order to start out at once. Lots of the boys get wounded with
 shrapnel and l have had some mighty
 close calls myself We were in one
 fight where the bullets~ were like hail
 in the air. But it is like the old say
 ing-It's all in the game. I have not seen NOTWlGn DOH SIIlf6 nave DeeH over here, or any of the Waterbury boys either, outside of those that
 came to this company with me. 1 would like to write to everybody bast when We get in the field why I some
 times only get enough paper for a couple of letters But if the division gets released some time and we go back why I will spend my spare time
 in writing to all. I would like to have some good old home made griddle- cakes and 8. big piece of pie right now.
 I wouldn't do thing to them, believe
 me. If I get to a town of any size again I will send you some souvenirs. ] You can get some stuff here that is worked by hand, silk handkerchiefs and the like

 DISCUSSION OF PEACE

Oyster Bay, N. Y, Oct. 9.-Colonel Theodore Roosevelt made the follow ing statement tonight on President Wilson's response to the German peace proposal:
 -Four days ago and again and again prior to that time, 1 said this war ought to be fought through until we secured the uncondition surrender of Germany and her vassal allies-Aus- tria and Turkey. To this statement unQrallfiedly, adhere. fear that the presidents latest announcement will be treated as an invitation to further note writing
 ''The effort to light and to negotiate a tthe same time is apt to damage the fighting end of the combination. Per sonally, I believe that our sole aim should be to win the war and not to discuss peace terms with the enemy until the war has been won"

In Big Drive.
 Private J. M. Carpenter, who is in a medical unit, writes to his aunt Mrs. M. K. Carpenter, of this city, that he has been in the whole of the big drive. His letter follows:
 Aug. 1S, 1918. Dear Aunt Name:
 Received your letter several days ago and have just found time to an- swer Our division is just being re- lieved after being in the whole of this big drive. You can imagine that as a field hospital we've been some busy ourselves taking care of the casualties and moving up with the advance so as not to be left too far in the rear.
 I've had several opportunities to drive ambulances as relief to the reg ular driver and it's great sport. The roads are crowded with all kinds of traffic going both ways and at all speeds No one has any lights and the roads are rough, so you have to keep awake every second. But it's a great life at that.
 I've seen a lot of sights in the past three months. Wish I could tell you of the places I've seen, but the censor forbids it. I'll tell you all about it after the war.
 llAIdSAuO JIG Pt1poAo AtoFC uSIu oO1Ao wonderful tales the past three weeks. They probably exasgerate but some big things have taken place. It's real ly the turning point of the war, as for the first time the allies have taken the initiative. It won't take the Tanks long to finish it, the way they are fighting, and at the rate new troops are landing. The kafser's Prussian guards were against the Americans on this part and they made pikers of them. Troops that can lick the invin- eible guard can win the war. Pershing says we'll be in Heaven Hell or Hoboken" by Christmas, Sd maybe we'll have family reunion this winter.
