MIR. BAKERS FIGURES

1t would be premature to comment in any detail
on the account of his stewardship which Secretary
Baker gave yesterday. Only thing must strike
the readers of the recent news as somewhat dlsap-
pointing: The statement that 100000 men will be in
France in the spring and 100000 before the end OF
the year certainly discounts the hopes of the Ameri-
can people and the expectation of our allies.
We wonder if cabinet and minister OF
munitions by their combined efforts would not be
abc-n collaboration with Mr.. Baker-to expedite
our real entry into the strugglc.New York Sun.

Dear Sir:-The Tribune's account Of

team has been deeply and justly re-
sented by the citizens of our little

of few disgrunted players who have
a bad case of sore head.

Pearl Chapman, who enlisted

writes his mother here as follows:
Paris Island, S. c., June 81, 1918.
Dear Mother:
Today is Sunday. have just
had troop inspection. Shall sign my
payroll in a few minutes, but l do
not know where 1 shall go, as !
shall probably leave Paris Island
in two or three days.
The day 1 shot for record on the
rifle range l surprised myself and
many others. 1 didn't know l was
so good with rife. 1 qualified as
sharpshooter. 1 get a beautiful
medal and also $500 extra pay
each month. Now maybe you think
am not a happy marine. l made
one OF Cne nlE nest SCoTeS oh AhO
range. Most of the boys made high
scores, that is, more than 225 out
of 800 had come here from the Ar
my and had shot on the range be-
fore. My score was 252, and all
the coaches considered that some
thing unusual for a new recruit.
But 1 have always had confidence,
and determined to make good.
1 got your box of eats yesterday,
and was sure glad to get them. If
it had been two or three days later
1 should have been gone and proba-
bly, would never have gotten it. l
am not going to- France, yet, but
will go to some place in the United
States for a while. will let you
know as soon as reach my desti-
nation.

A LETTER FROM FRANCE.

Et Cetera And Makes $SO---Mau-
rice Dowel Also OverThere-Can
Hear Bombarding.

Private v. L. Barnett, with the
18th Infantry, in France, located
right up near the firing line, writes
fthe following interesting letter to
his sister here, Mrs. Jesse Martin:
Somewhere In France, May 25,
1918.
Dear Sister:-No doubt you
think it has been a long time since
you have heard from me, but we
have been shifting scenes quite Of
ten of late. We are very comforta-
bly, quartered, altho not as comfort
able as when at Camp Funston.
Have been at this place about ten or
eleven days and have been having
some instructions by the British Of
ficers.
There were quite a number of the
fellows got sick coming across, but
1 did not. peddled candy, chewing
gum and soda pop almost every day
and made about $50 on the way
across, and l am sure glad 1 did,
because l have not had a pay day
since the middle of March. That
was our pay day for February
Don't know when they are going to
pay us, but hope that it is before
long.
l saw Maurice Dowell last night.
He is in camp not far from where
we are.
There are a lot of British soldiers
here and some French. The French
civilians treat us fine and am
learning to speak little French,
One French lady told me that
spoke French very we'll, and one
said that she was my fiancee, but
think she was only fooling. The
people here sure charge for what
they sell us fellows to eat, went
into a place this morning and had
some pain ct lait," which means
bread and milk, and it was as high
priced as a real dinner.
We can see aeroplanes most ev'
cry day and hear them bombarding
but it seems quite safe here and
do not realize that am so close to
the front at all-only 20 miles. May
have a better chance to realize 1t al
any time, tho,
1 don't know much to say, only
that am still o. X.

ist of the Great Western Sugar Re-
flning Company, has been accepted
for service in the sanitary chemical
corps of the United States Army

injury to his right hand several
years ago which bereft him of all of

his family that he was anxious to
get into the service and when the
opportunity came to get into the
special work he Immediately avail
ed himself of the chance. AS a re-
suit of the injury Mr.. Lemon has
been given a lifelong place with
the Great Western Company. The
chief chemist before him was daft

him leaving Mr.. Lemon was pro-
NOTED to the position of head

Frank Dawson Gets
arole And Freedom
Killed Miss Anna Hartman And
Then Served 13 Years On Life
Sentence--WhisISy Brought Him
His Trouble.

Frank Dawson, known as the
most model prisoner of the Missouri
Penitentiary, who has been serving
a 99-year sentence since July, 1905,
for the murder of his sweetheart in
Eolroe county, was paroled to
Smith Dawson of Centralia, his un-
Gle. Dawson has never been repri-
manded for the least infracition of
the prison rules. He did not ask
for clemency, but 10 officers of
the institution recommended it.
The parole will be revoked if
Dawson ever comes back to Monroe
He went direct from the prison to
Moberly to visit his aged parents,
the father, F. NJ Dawson, being
blind and hopelessly i'll. Later, he
states, he will locate in some other
State.
Dawson was originally sentenced
to hang His attorneys saved him
by carrying the case to the Supreme
Court and getting a new trial on
some trivial flaw in the indictment.
A second trial resulted in a life
sentence. The jury stood ten for
first degree murder. After 1S hours
of wrangling the ten men agreed
with the other two, to compromise
on a life sentence.
Prior to the second trial a petit
tion circulated by Dawsons father,
asking Communication to life i'm
prisonment, was signed by 1900
persons. A remonstrance was sign
ed by 1000.
The crime for which Dawson was
imprisoned was one of the worst in
the history of Monroe county. Fill
up on liquor he rode from Madi-
son to Middle Grove, walked in
to a room where a lot of young peo-
pie were dancing and shot his for
mer sweetheart, Miss Anna Hart
man, to death. Another bullet
wounded Obie Hughes in the back.
Dawson fed from the scene and
spent the night in a pile of rails.
The next morning he walked to the
home of his brother and gave him
self up. AS a favor to the family
the sheriff let him stop at Madison
on his way to Jail and take break
fast with. his parents
AS the heartbroken mother serv-
ed him she is said to have remark
ed: 1T will be the last time l will
ever see you at my table, my boy,
for they will put you in prison for
life"
