Dear Friends
AS l am in charge Of quarters to-
day and have a few moments to
spare, will take time to let you know
how enjoyed the pleasant surprise
of the package from folks at home.
1 was away for five days Christmas
and when l got back my bunk was
covered with boxes and mail and it
sure was the most joyful moments
l have had since being here. Letters
sure are the one bright spot each
day. 1t is queer how it affects one
when tho mail comes and there is
none for you. There have been days
when l actually wanted to cry-but
the day you miss makes the next
more welcome.
1t has raiped here necessarily for
two months and for about an hour
this afternoon tho sun shone for the
first timo this month. Consequently
we have plenty of water and mud.
1 sure will be one happy kid when
they give orders to pack up for
France.
l will close hoping everyone is well
and wishing you all Happy New
Year. CORPORAL F. w. MosHER.

SUFFRAGE STILL IN DOUBT.

The suffrage amendment passed
the House although by lower ma
jority than had been expected, and
now the question is up to the Senate.
Ordinarily the Senate could be ex-
pected to return an unfavorable vote
servative. But the suffrage advo-
Gates will marshall all their forces
and the victory in the House, the
recent result of the New York cleo
tion, and President Wilson's appeal
may combine to carry the amend
ment by slight margin in the upper
house.

FACING FOOD SHORTAGE.
Hoover Says it is Likely to Continue
During the Next Sixty Days.

The Eastern part Of the United
States faces a food shortage likely
to continue for the next sixty days.
II making this disclosure last night
Food Administrator Hoover declared
that the situation is the most crltl-
cal in the country's history and that
in many o.: the large consuming areas
reserve food stores are at the point
Of exhaustion.
The whole blame is put BY the
food administrator on railroad con-
cestion. which he says also has
thrcwn the food administration FAR
behind its program for feeding the
allies. The only solution he sees, is
greatly increased rail movement
OF foGdstutfs even to the exclusion OF
much other commerce.
