War, apparently, has not hurt sum-
mer travel to any great extent on the
railroads, say officials of the lines.
Advance in fares has caused only a
slight falling off in the usual amount
of touring. Automobiles have af-
fected travel by rail to mid-continent
points a great deal.
Some fares from Keokuk to Pacific
coast and other points have been OBJ
tanned.
1t can be noted at once by persons
accustomed to travel that the round
trip rates are higher to degree this
season than they were last For in
stance, the round trip rate to Denver,
Pueblo and Colorado Springs last
summer was about s25. Now it is
$3.50.

When the management of the audito-
rum in Ocean Grove, N. j., advertised
that offerings of silver and bills would be
collected after Ambassador Gerards lee
ture on Face to Face with the Kaiser"
the speaker promptly cancelled his en-.
gagement, explaining that he was not
accustomed to accepting money for his
lectures. Evidently Mr.. Gerard did not
relish the idea that the managers ad.
vertising conveyed, and if the owners Of
the auditorium thought to fatten their
own purses at the expense Of the am
bassador's good name they were might.
lily mistaken. Before and since the war
began Mr.. Gerard has performed notable
services. What he has done to awaken
America to the real portent of the Ger

his services while abroad, and yet his
timely addresses as well as the words
which have fallen from his pen have con-
tribrrted very materially to our under
standing of Germany and the Germans.

Conflicting emotions must have strug-

TWAS A GREAT HOUR
oskALoosA BOY HELPS YANks
MAKE WORLDS. HISTORY.

Mr. and Mrs. F, R. Shultz have
letter from their son Harry, with the
SO4th Infantry in France. The let
ter bears date of November Is, from
somewhere over there. Harry tells
of the end of the war in the following
way:
81 will tell you as much of the story
as permitted by the censor at this
time. We were awakened by cour-
Ter about 2:3O o'clock last Sunday
morning November 10) and given Or
/ ders to leave at once for town close
behind the lines. In less than two
hours we were all dressed and on our
way with bag and baggage, but not
much of the latter.
There was a big drive due to come
off the next day and all possible troops
were being rushed up. 1t was
mighty stirring sight. The roads were
congested with troops. They stretch
trucks and wagons. Soup camions
ratified along bearing hot chow"
Supply trains trailed along. Ammu-
milton trucks bumped along. Ambu-
Ilances were worming their way
through and truck load after truck load
Of grim looking Yanks pounded along.
1t sure made me feel proud to know
that | was an American.
We hiked till about IL o'clock that
morning in a quick jog and then
camped in an old captured German
rest camp, up close 10 the line. We
were without anything to eat until the
next morning and slept that night in
the mud.
The doughboys went over the top
near us early the next morning, and
the big drive was on, and the artillery
was sure raining hell at dawn. About
10 o'clock we got word the armistice
was signed and STUFF would be all off
at II. Hell broke loose then. Every
body was dancing and yelling and
shooting at once. The artillery open
ed up on the Boche and officers fought
with the men to get in the last shell.
Then at IL o'clock-what a change!
Not gun could be heard. tell you
it was wonderful to be alive in the
most wonderful and momentous hour
in the history of the world and to be
actually present where the Yank made
such splendid history. That is the
greatest hour that will ever achieve.
That evening some soldiers from a
famous division with a regimental
band put on a show and at the con
clusion we all stood and sang the Star
Spangled Banner 1t made one proud
of the Yanks and the good old U. s. A.
After couple of days we moved TO
this place but may move again soon.

FROM GOV. HARDING
A PLEA FOR STATEWIDE EN-
ROLLMENT IN THE RED CROSS.

To the People of Iowa: 1.-The Ma
tional Red Cross is conducting a cam
lpaign within this state, in which they
lare asking that every man, woman
and child become member for the
year ending December 81, 1919. The
money derived from this membership
campaign is to carry the Red Cross in
it's various activities during the COM
ing twelve months.
We are informed by those in author
| ity that the business of the Red Cross
is so well conducted that practically
one hundred cents out of every dollar
actually finds its way to helpful pur-
poses in some activity.
The work OF the Red Cross is to
bind up the wounds of those who are
injured and to feed the hungry.
Surely there Is no man or woman
in Iowa who cannot take one dollar
out of their earnings to become a
member of an organization that is
rendering such wonderful service to
the stricken wherever they may be
found. Let a membership for your.
lself be an evidence of the Christian
spirit which each individual in Iowa
bestows upon the unfortunate wher.
ever they may be found.
I bespeak your cooperation with
those who have this campaign active
Ily in charge.
w. l.. HARDING, Governor.
