Mr. Ray Rankin,
Wood, S. ID.
Hello Ray
How everything in South Dakotat
Everything is lovely over here. The
! Germans are on the go-hope they
will keep it up. / suppose you see by
the papers that they are going home
and the Americans are following them
Well Ray, l would like to see you.
| sure could tell you lots, but cannot
w,ite much, but can say there are
kights here that | never experienced
before and at first it was pretty hard
for me TO eat, but am getting more
use'i to it now, but ] would much ra-
ther be with tie rattle snakes and
birds in South Dakota than to be here
and hear the shells and sharpnel and
gas. At first | would dodge, but my
neck is stiff doing that, so now | just
walk along and hold my head stiff, ha
Ia, let come what will
Wei Ray, ran on to an old friend
from Wood the other day,-Fred Wild
ner lie used to run the pool room,
also an Ind an by the name of Pouey
from White Rive. 1t surely is nice
to meet an old acquaintance and tc
talk over old times.
suppose all the boys from there
are on the way over here, but don't
think it will be long until we are all
going back to the good old Il. 5. A.
and | sure hope so, but ! don't want
to go until the war is all over, then
we can have rest, but never until the
Germans are under different ruling.
Well, how are the crops there this
year? | have not neard from Will OF
any Of them for long time. Hope
everything is doing well. l think
they have pretty good crops over here
at least the small grain. The corn is
failure here. l haven't seen any
knee high.
Well, | don't know much else to
write so will ring off" hoping to
hear from you soon, am as ever your
friend, MACK VAUGHEN,

Huns Told How
To Save Souls;
Clear ut-Barne:

LONDON, Oct. 7--Germsny, in her
latest peace offer, seems anxious to
save her own skin, even at the expense
of her allies, said George Ni9oll
Barnes, member of the war cabinet, in
a speech at Derby last night The
peace proposal only indicated that the
Germans realized the change in the
military situation and the shifting Of
the balance OF power. he declared
'If anything could come OF the over
lures" he said, we should be foolish
to deny ourselves that chance But It
would smooth the path to peace il the
Germans showed some evidence OF
work following their propositions OF
faith. By clearing out Of France and
Belgium they could save their own
souls" r.r

How Soldiers
Like Cigarets

yVJASHINGTON, Oct. Moth
w ing illustrates the difference
W between regular army and
the new fighting forces Of the Unit
ed States more graphically than the
tobacco habits OF each, says a war
department statement.
Formerly chewing tobacco was in
strongest demand Today the de-
mand is much greater for cigarets.
This is ascribed to the average age
OF the present soldier being consid-
erably below that OF the old army.
Young men prefer cigarets to any
other form Of tobacco, The subsis-
tence division Of the quartermaster's
corps is shipping TO the overseas
forces from five to six hundred mil
lion cigafets each month"

Most Insidions Danger"
Discussion Of Gemanys peace offer
began In the senate soon after todays
session convened. Senator Poindexter
OF Washington, republican, declared the
proposal for an armistiee a most in
sidious danger"
When Senator Poindcxter declared
an armistice would mean the end Of all
military action, and, il accompanied
only by enemy evacuation of Belgium
and France, would be victory for Ger
many, Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska,
chairman OF the foreign relations com
inittee. earnestly pointed out that the
German offer also provides for accept
ance OF the fourteen terms laid down by
the president in his address OF Janu-
AIRY g.
To Restore Alsace.
Acceptance Of Germany's offer only
upon evacuation OF Belgium and France,
Senator Hitchcock said, would be pre-
posterous, hut he declared restoration
OF Alsace-Lorraine TO France and as
well as reparation for Belgium and
France, are among the presidents terms
which Germany proposes to accept.
Senator Poindexter said the senate
foreign relations committee should
seek consultation on any negotiations
entered into by the government and that
the country should be warned against
the insldiousness OF published sugges-
tions that an armistice should be
agreed TO on withdrawal OF Germany
from occupied territory.
Senator McCumber OF North Dakota
announced that he had prepared a reso-
luton designed to insure preservation
OF the functions of the senate.
