April 2S, 1918.
Dear Father and Mother:--I am in
town having my passports extended
and doing some errands and resting
my chief told me to stay as long as
wished-but l must get back to-
morrow Every man counts, and |
don't want to miss a day. l am tir-
ed-as I've never been in my life.
1t is not to be wondered at, for l get
no more than four or five hours
rest per day. l am much thinner
can hardly believe my own eyes
when | can see every rib all the time
and distinctly feel joints l never
knew | had. The work is continu
GUS and the demands on our sympa-
thies endless.
went to the opera last night
with a young lady-and slept so
soundly that she had to awaken
me; isn't that funny?
How l wish l could tell you of
the past ten days. l can only say that
was in our first all-American bat
tie, and l shall be as thankful al
ways to have been in it as am proud
of our boys-for they are no more
than that in years, but they fight
like demons and their morale is
splendid. All the things we like to
! think of our American manhood
were exploited there-courage de-
termination, clarity of thought, fear
lessness to execute orders, all the
great qualities of mind and body
were shown. Could write book full
of thrills, but may say nothing.
Not one groan-nor a regret at
dying-not a murmur of any kind
did l see or hear in all these dread
full hours. l carried stretchers and
helped where l could, giving any
word or help possible. think l am
feeling it now, tho at the time
didn't feel anything but rage at the
Germans. They did something ito
two of our men so awful that moth
ing you could imagine will touch it;
ones mind reels at the idea. If our
! leaders in America could know it
they would shut up their silly cant
about not fighting the German peo-
pie, but only the kaiser and his junk
ers. One wonders what punishment
God has in store for them; ! try to
imagine something, but nothing
seems bad enough. l asked the
French waitress this morning what
she would do to the kaiser. She
answered: 81 don't know, but 1
think l would gather all the suffer-
ings together and each day cut off
some part of him, leaving his eyes
and ears to the last, so he could see
and hear what all thought of him"
She said it with an intensity that was
| terrifying and which reminds me of
the story of the daughter of my
the beginning of the war they lived
in one of the frontier villages, and
when the Germans came and took
everything-the father was killed,
the mother ravished, her 16 year old
cousin was crucifed because he re-
fused to take up arms against his
country Some days later a sharp
engagement was fought in their
own fields in which the French were
victors. Late the next day this
girl, IL years old then, and her lit
tie brother went out into the woods
to find their COW. Instead they found
the officer who had crucified their
cousin. He was terribly wounded
and begged them to call their moth
er to help him. This child went back
to the house, got an AK and chopped
his legs off. l am too tired to write
much of this. / am not afraid of
what is coming. Neither death nor
suffering seems to matter now. since

An Aged Knitter
For The Sammies
Former Audrain Woman, Born In
Germany, is An American Patriot
She Knows The Huns.

Thru the kindness Of Ran Kendall
o: this city we are permitted to use
the article below from the Oklahoma
Oklahoman. 1t refers to Mrs. Pau
line Schroeder who with her hus-
band near 80 years ago resided on
the Judge S. E. Kendall farm, north
OF Mexico. Mr.. and Mrs. Schroeder
came to this country at the same
time of the Holcomb Brothers, Theo-
dore and Joe. The Oklahoma pa
rer says:
Born near Essen, in Germany, so
years ago; lived thru four bloody
wars under the tyrrany of Germany
discipline, and learning thoroly to
hate that tyranny and all that it
stood for, Mrs. Pauline Schroeder of
Henrietta, Okla, now staying with
her daughter, Mrs. Anna Altepeter,
26 West Ninth street, has come to
love the United States and to appre-
ciate the kind of life she can lead
here.
More than that she shows her ap-
probation by knitting, knitting,
knitting, day in and day out, for the
Red Cross She knits a sock a day,
and has completed nearly so pairs,
besides sweaters, wristlets and nu-
merous other articles for the comfort
and health of Uncle Sans fighting
men.
Mrs. Schroeder returned to Ger
many some years ago, with her two
daughters, Mrs. Altepeter and Mrs.
Roy w. Short of Henriette, with
whom she lives. All of them declar-
ed unequivocally that they had never
realized the value of American free .
dom till they came to live again
under a regime which allows no
privilege to any but the exalted few.
Cnh tN1A ,Nr ~F (,
husbands wages had been reduced
because he had bought baby car
riage, and this Notwithstanding the
fact that the wife earned the money
with which it was bought. 1t was
feared he was getting above himself
They told of the long hours of
work and drudgery forced upon the
working classes, the giving way to
power and wealth in every detail of
life, and of their determination upon
their return to America never again
tc live under the rule of the kaiser.
They talked of the probable
length of the war. Mrs. Altepeter
and Mrs. Short were estimating how
much longer Red Cross work'd be
necessary. Mrs. Schroeder, her busy
fingers still for the moment, only
because she was out of yarn, settled
one point for them. I'VE must keep
on knitting" she said.
Mrs. Schroeder is one of the old
est Red Cross members in the State.
Her daughters say that tho
her strength is failing somewhat she
has energy, willpower and patriot
ism for a whole county. At home
she undertakes the cooking and dish
washing for the family and visits
sick folks a good deal. But whatev-
er else she does she knits.
Edward B. Altepeter. Mrs, Schroe-
der's grandson, shares his grand
mothers appreciation. of Americh,
and, like her, he is willing to do
something to show it. He is now
with the company 81, battalion Is,
of the 165th Depot brigade at Camp
Travis. He left Oklahoma March 25,

we find the following item:
Mrs. Sarah Ann Sisk, wife of JOS

ure. At retiring last night Mrs. .Sisk
was apparently in good health. Death
came after but few minutes illness.
Mrs. Sisk, native of Pennsylvania,
was 75 years old. Came to Califor-
MIA 1 S years ago from Missouri, had
lived the last 13 years at Stanislaus,
three of which she spent at the home
near Ceres Besides the husband, to
whom she was married 81 years ago,
she leaves nine of her IL children:
Mrs. 1T. Burch, Ceres; John A.Sisk,

General March, chief of staff of the American army, in a statement made for publication today, said that the premature publication of peace on Thursday had a very bad effect on the nations military pro- gram, and seriously interfered with the smooth working of several branches of it.
 He cited, as an instance, the ac- tion taken by the stevedores of New York, who quit work to celebrate and thus seriously delayed food shipments. ..--.....
 He said that the American army will be in France for some time after peace has been established.
