After that first attack we sat down IN our
holes and munched biscuits, wondering how
long 1t would be before they came again.
Jobs was about the only person who didn't
rest. He was trying to find out where that
machine gun was, and held his helmet up
on the end Of bit of wood to draw its fire.
1t was a pretty bright night, and in any
case there were plenty of flares going up.
They came on again toward dawn. swarms

rifles got hot. They got right on top of us

But as soon we broke up their mass into
little bits. so to speak, they lost a good deal

their hands up. We were done I'D after

Pneumonia surely. must be a
scourage to our soldiers more deadly
even than German bullets, laying them
low in the camps here as we'll as over
in Europe. Last week in looking over
some Of our exchanges we noticed the
following deaths Of soldier boys: The
karlStad Advocate mentions that 81
vert Spilde, Of Halma, died at Camp
Dodge from pneumonia. The Bemidii
Sentinel states that Floyd Olson. of
Island Lake, is dead at Cecaucas, n. J..
from scarlet fever that developed into
pneumonia. The Middle River Pioneer
gives an account Of the funeral of
Berger SatterstrOm. a Marshall county
boy, who died at Camp Deyins of pneu-
monia. The Kennedy Star tells of the
death of Louis Alfred Graveyard. a
kittson county boy, who died at Fort
Porter, Buffalo, Y. Y. of pneumonia.
The Fergus Falls Journal contains the
account of the death of Hjelmer Sund-
berg at Camp Dodge, Of pneumonia
and the Stephen Messenger states that
Ed. Erickson, son Of Mr.: and Mrs: Dan
Erickson, had died at Washington on
April 10, also Of pneumonia. In as
much as the young men sent have
passed physical examination and are
the strongest and most fit in the COM
munities from which they go, the
mortality among them from this cause
is hard to account for In all proba-
bility the change from an ordinary to
a military life is too sudden and vio-
lent for their young and unhardened
constitutions. The government no
doubt does all it possibly can for the
conservation Of the health of it's SOL
diers, but even more ought to be done,

Mrs. East0n Receives Kindly anl
Considerable Letter From France

Dana Easton. son of Mr.. and Mrs.
j. 2. Easton, of this city. is on the
battle front in France doing his duty
as an American soldier. On the day
before he left for the firing line. a
letter was written to Mrs Easton bv 2
French woman informing her of this
fact. The fine spirit which prompted
the letter shows the thOughtfulness
and considerateness Of the French peo-
pie, who are said to be the most
genteel and courteous people in Europe.
In the letter is voiced also the deem
appreciation Of the French people for
the help received from America in the
war. The letter is written in French.
Translated into English it reads as
follows:

March 18th. 1918.

intermediary of your son to make your

news will not make you feel pleasant
or happy, but we French women have
our husbands dead or wounded for the
great cause. It is nice that the sons
OF America have come to France to
help us. We all like and adore these
fine soldiers. Mothers Of America. it
is your sons to whom we will owe our
victory. Glory and honor be to them.
Dear Mother. your son is very glad
that [ announce to you his departure
for the front, because it is strictly for

promised to write and we will do all
IN our power to keep you posted on
what is going on. Young France has
suffered and is still suffering. but

from the clutches of those German
armies.

NAVY LAUNCHES
NEW DRIVE

After a temporary. enforced lull in
navy recruiting. due to the filing of
the compliments Of the training sta
lions, the navy has once again IN
leashed her recruiting forces and is
making mighty appeal throughout
entire United States for volunteers.
No limit has been placed on the num-
Der OF men to be taken, according to
telegram just received by Lieutenant
George A. Treadwell. officer in charge
Of recruiting for Minnesota and North
Dakota. from Commander James D.
Wilson, inspector of recruiting. central
division.
. For the past several months the
number OF recruits taken from this Sec
ton has been limited to 40 weekly.
With all restrictions cast aside another
rush similar to that Of last December
is predicted. All men accepted in the
new drive will be enrolled in the Naval
Reserve Force.
There are openings at present for
apprentice seamen. firemen. hospital
corpsmen, cooks, bakers. machinists.
carpenters and painters. Painters and
carpenters are particularly in demand
for duty at the Great Lakes training
station. Men in the draft may still
enlist to the effect that they are not re-
quired to fill any current quotas of the
national army.
Recruiting officers and men are plan
ming a great campaign and intend to
make the new drive one Of the biggest
in the history Of the navy.

TORONTO MINISTER'S CAMPAIGN
FOR CLEAN LIVING

Members Of the Ministerial Asso-

selves to conduct among their con-
gregations a campaign of education
and enlightenment in the interests of
better morals and the elimination Of
venereal diseases. The belief has
been expressed by a member of the
association that, assisted by remed-
ial and repressive legislation, educa-
tion is the fundamental and ethical
necessity. The appeal by one speaker
before the ministerial association was
as follows: "We must teach purity
side by side and parallel with out en-
lighening education. and for this rea-
son we appeal to you"

Confronted with the tragic food
shortage in all the countries helping
America to make the world a decent
place to live in, Herbert Hoover,
through Federal Food Administrator
Fred M. Sackett, again asks all the
people Kentucky to sign this
pledge.
Sending more and more wheat -four
to the war zone is a military neces-
sity. II 1t is not sent the war will be
lost. The people of Kentucky have it,
The public ledger., 1918-05-31

bpt if they do not give it up it can
not be sent. The people of Arkansas
have long ago given all the wheat
flour they had, and scores of countries
in Texas and other States have gath
cred all their -four at the county seats,
loaded it on trains and shipped it to
Army camps. Certainly the people of
Kentucky, always patriotic, will glad
ly limit their use to six pounds per
person per month. This we are ask
ed to do and this we must do
A food hoarder will be sent to the
penitentiary for two years. Whoever
has on hand more than six pounds of
flour for each member of his family
should sign tlE above pledge and send
it to his County Food Administrator
Immediately. If he does, he is a good
Amercan-nOt as good an American
as the man who eats no wheat -four at
all, but still a good American. If he
does not he is hoarder, and it makes
no difference whether the -four was
secured last summer or last winter or
last week, or whether it was bought
from the store or ground from his own
wheat.
Let this fact be remembered q
possession of more than six pounds of
flour and wheat products per person
of your household is a black crime
unless the possessor notifies the Gov
ernment and is willing to part with
his excess. The only way to escape
punishment is by signing the above
certificate.
Attorney Alex G. Barrett of Louis
vile has been appointed head of the
Enforcement Division of the Food Ad-
ministration in Kentucky. He has just
returned from Washington where he
has been in consultation regarding the
questio of prosecution of certain
householders who have on hand more

wheat products for each member of
the family. Those who are prosecut-
