LETTER FROM "0vER THERE"
Somewhere in France
August 2, 1918.

Dear Father:
will drop you few lines TO let
you know i am well and hope You are
the same. How are you getting along
any way, first rate i hope7 ] guess
you think / am a long time answer
ing your letter, well l am, but it
is not always convenient to wnte,
for we are here, yonder and every
where.
We have stopped for a little while
maybe, but by the time this letter
reaches you I expect to be elsewhere.
How are all of the neighbors and
what do they think of the war and
the A. E. F.7 / suppose the few
soldiers that are back there for the
A. e. T. have been giving you all a
good idea what war is, to sum it up
it is Shell" The few soldiers who
have been sent back there do not
know what it is nor what their com
rades are going through with now.
The Americans are up in the show
and are showing that they are bet
ter fighters than the Huns best
troops which are the Bavarians and
Prussian Guards and the Allies have
them whipped even now I believe, al
though it may be some time before
they give up, but sooner or later they
will be crying for peace.
Well fatheryhow is Leroy and his
wife getting along, / hope he was not
included in the draft, although we
have a few married men over here?
Is Edward still at home, if he is that
is the best place for him.
Tell them they should write for /
am always glad to hear from anyone
back there and hope and trust that
some day / will be with you all.
Well / will close for this time wish
ing you all the best of luck.

CAPITAL ISSUES COMMITTEE
Washington ID. C.

Washington ID. Z.
August %. 1918.
To Public Utilities Commissions and
Municipal Officials:
You are, of course. familiar with
the creation by Congress of the Cap
;ital Issues Committee for the pur-
pose of giving effect to the Govern
ment's policy of 'War Business
First" by supervising the issuance
of new securities for capital expen-
ditures. 1t is plain that all of us
must avoid every unnecessary use
of capital, involving also the use of
labor and materials, in order not to
interfere with the financial and IN
dustrial requirements of the Govern
ment in its paramount task of max
ing war.
If the men, money and material
which the Government needs are to
be made available, for essential war
purposes, there must necessarily be
considerable degree of sacrifice on
the part of individuals, commune
ties and corporations in adjusting
themselves to the substitutions and
changed standards which the situa-
ton compels. Existing facilities
must be made to serve in place of
new ones, regardless. of temporary
inconvenience and discomfort, un-
less the public health or paramount
local economics necessity is involved.
MAY we suggest to you that these
considerations apply with marked
force to the public utility situation.
The extensions and betterments
which public service corporations
are accustomed to make in normal
times, either on the initiative of their
own enterprise or by direction of
the regulating commissions under
which they operate, should, in our
opinion. be postponed until after the
war, unless an immediate war pur-
pose is served, and may we ask of
YOU consideration of the propriety
of deferring even the performance
of contractual obligations arising
from the franchise or other local re-
auirements, when no military or local
economic necessity is served by such
expenditures.
The Capital Issues Committee
feels certain that your Commission
will recognize the paramount need of
the National Government when pass
ing upon proposed additions and ex-
tensions by public utility companies,
and asks that you cooperate in CIV
ing effect to the purposes of the
Government by restricting every un-
necessary use Of capital, labor and
materials for extensions, better
ments, street paving, or other pur-
poses, even waving, if in your power,
the legal requirements that obtain in
times of peace, until the present
emergency has passed.
Yours very truly,
CAPITAL ISSUES COMMITTEE,
Chas. S. Hamline, Chairman.

The purpose, the announcement said
is to economic and put meals within

YOU COUNT IN ONE WAY ONLY

Never, so much as now, has the
individual counted for so little.
Individual rights, individual priv
iliges, individual responsibilities have
given way to the greater considera-
ton, the welfare of the people as a
whole.
For nations, not people or races,
have taken in hand the destinies of
the world. The individual has been
pre-emptorily put aside.
Whether liberty shall live or perish
from the earth is for determination
in the aggregate. 1t is not for any
one man to say.
The Kaiser soon is to realize this
But there is one way in which you
CAN count.
One way in which you may still
make yourself felt throughout this
storm tossed world.
You can make your little individ-
ual contribution to the cause of free
dom, of world democracy, or perma-
nent peace.
