LETTERS FROM OUR
SOLDIERS AT HOME
AND AT THE FRONT

Frank p. Jones, the youngest son
of Prof. and Mrs Fayette A. Jones,
writes an interesting letter from
France. He attended the Albuquer-
que high school and the state univer-
sity few years ago and has many
friends here. He was called in the
second draft from Hayden, Ariz., last
April and went directly overseas aft
er brief stay at Camp Funston He

His letter follows:

We were in the ST. Mihiel drive
The 353rd regiment went over the top
at $50 a. m. after a terrific five hour
bombardment Our regiment took
several towns, over 1900 prisoners,
great quantities of supplies and ad-
vanced about eight miles. At one
town a German railway train, loaded
with supplies, was about to pull out
of the station where two big shells
from our artillery blew up the tracks
on both sides of the train and it could
not get out The infantry found hun
dreds of pounds of honey. bread, but

400 kegs of beer, great stores of
clothing, supplies. etc.
We moved from the st. Mihiel sec

which is north or northeast of YER

Dear Dad:
This being dads day l VIII try to
tell you of my experience in the army
and where ! am.
We started from Camp Hancock,
Georgia, July oath we landed at
Newport News. We left there July
3lst at 1880 for France. During our
trip we had sea battle with seven
subs sinking three of them We
We're all crazy to see one of the subs
but they were too far away to see
them. We landed in a town in
France by the name of Brest. 1t was
the 18th of August about 10 o'clock.
We walked about five miles to the
camp. There we pitched our little
tents and stayed for ten days. Every
morning when we would get up our
tents would be all wet on account OF
the heavy dew. We were called one
morning about o'clock to get up and
pack our stuff. We then walked
down to the station and loaded into
cars our baggage. We didn't know
came through some beautiful towns
along the way. We were three days
on the road. The last night the train
stopped and we got orders to unload.
With our packs we marched little
ways, and went into tin building
which they said would be our home
for a while. We stayed there for a
month, then we moved to the bar
racks.
The nearest town we are near is
named Mehun. 1t isn't very large

Indicated BY Latest
Figures Compiled

Hawai- : sugar grind is now rapidly
earring completion and the end is
clearly in sight. There should be no
difficulty in moving what remains for
shipment as fast rs may he desired and
in clearing up the crop so far as ready
about the usual time.
Figures recently compiled 10y A. NJ.
Novel;, secretary and manager Of the
Sugar Factors Company show that up
10 and Including September II there
had been shipped of this years crop
900 tons and that there was ground
and ready for shipment 65,0Oe toms,
much of which is in transit or is waiting
transit to sugar ports. This makes a
total of production TO that date, ex
Guiding what has been used for DO
mestic consumption, of $4,000 tons.
Latest Figures
Mr. NOVEL; has not yet checked up
on his figures of what remains to he
ground and the probable time of the
grinding, but his last previous figures
on production were 500, 900 tons for
shipment and about 10000 tons for
home consumption or, in all, about 573,
900 tons, an increase Of 10000 tons
over his earlier estimates. This would
leave approximately $4,000 tons for
grinding from now on and about $4,000
tons for shipment. Somewhere he
tween 5000 and 10000 tons may not
be ready to depart until the months
of November and December, at which
latter time some of the new crop will
be moving Actual figures may some
what surpass the last estimates but
it is not expected that they will large,
ly do so.
Shipments up to and including Sep,
tembcr 10 this month have been 81,
900 tons. There is mot now, so far as
advices have been received, any large
tonnage of shipping expected to arrive
and load between now and September
80, so that it is probable that ship
ments for the months will not greatly
exceed $4,000 tons. Assuming those
figures to be correct there would be
left to be moved after October J about
10000 tons.
Crops Compared
Last year on October ! there had
been shipped 594 900 tons which left
for shipment at that time $4,000. The
sugar year ends September 80, 80 the
amount to he carried over this year
will be about 10000 tons aS against

ferences in those figures Total ship
ments as of even date will show a
difference of approximately 100000
tons from which must be deducted tn,
difference between sugars then and now
unshipped, about $1,000 tons which
makes the apparent shortag" about
70,oO0 tons TO that extent the ship

Doing Without
"Sinee 1914 the United States has

poses, fertilizers have contained little
