Hold No Grudue.

Time brings many changes. Take
for instance the fellows who volun-
teered their services when war was
declared and who have since been pro-
noted to be commissioned officers.
Some Of these men toiled in shops and
Offices and had to toe the mark for
clerks or foremen to get fired. Then
came the draft and these same clerks
and -foremen became doughboys and
now take orders from their former Of
fee boys and employees. Some humor-
GUS stories have come to light from
the nearby environments, but let 1t be
said TO the credit Of the former office
boys, they have not made life un-
bearable for their superiors, although
they have had the opportunity to do
so. As an illustration of this the 9TH
er day doughboy was serving mess
to his top sergeant. As he did so he
spilled some dressing from the salad.
The sergeant noticed this and smiled.
"Just about year ago was serving
you with SOUP" said the sergeant, at the
same time mentioning the hotel where
he had worked as serving man, land
you gave me the devil because it was
cold. I'm not going to kick because
you spilled the dressing. I'm going to
treat you right" And that is the gen.
eral spirit throughout the camps.

ing 967 pounds in weight and selling
for an average price of $3.50 a
hundredweight. Each calf brought

WHY DON'T YOU WRITE?

You are not writing to many
soldiers over there or anywhere else.
You are too busy. But that doesn't
take off the longing the soldier feels
for letters from folks at home. If
you haven't time to write, the editor
will take time. But send the ad-
dresses of the boys in France or any
where in the service. The new regu-
lations do not allow sending the
newspaper, but everybody from Per-
shing down advises writing to the
boys, so write we will.
If it is too much trouble to send
the address by mail, get the address
in your hand and ring 45J; that's
the reporters room at the Republic
can office and just say, Here is
an address for you," and read it into
the phone till the reporter can read
it back at you to see If it is copied
right and that soldier boy will re-
ceive two letters that We know or.
We will publish his address, and lie
may receive a flock of letters. They
say 1t is very trying on good soldier
boy to attend mail call day after day
and see the others receive their JOY
and not get anything himself. The
soldier needs assurance from home,
and letter touches the exact spot. II

AMERICA TO REVIVE
EASTERN SQUADRON
BELIEVED THAT Definite NAVAL
FORCE WILL BE MAINTAINED
IN EUROPEAN WATERS.
Expected That Half of the Main Fight
ing Strength of Our Navy Will
Go Into a Reorganzed Pacific
Ocean Fleet.

| Washington. - With the passing of
German sea power, the impelling
strategic reason for keeping the main
strength of the American navy Eiasscd
in the Atlantic ocean no longer exists.
Naval officers here anticipate, there
fore, that the fleet will be divided
when the war emergency has passed
and substantially one-half Of the main
fighting strength of the navy 60 into
a reorganized Pacific fleet.
There are indications about the de-
partlnent that plans are already af"ot
for the reviving of the old European
squadron. With the increased r"spon-
sibilities of the United States in Eu-
rope, due to the war and the expand
ing merchant marine, it is regarded as
probable that a definite naval force
will be maintained in European waters
hereafter and it is possible that staps
may be taken toward establishing
limited base facilities for the upkeep
of the force. The navy now has a
station at the Azores and officers be-
lieve an arrangement with the POrtu-
guese government, under which the
station will be continued for sorle
time, at leust, is to be expected.
In discussing the future of the fleet,
officers realize that the creation of
league of nations may produce new
considerations. AS the United States is
sponsor for the proposal for world
league. it is assumed that concrete
plan of action has been mapped out
Tor President Wilson by his military
advisers. This would include the pro-
posal of an organization under which
the combined fleets would operate to
police the world.

Dear Brother Max:
This is my first opportunity to
write you within the last thirty days,
as we have been going over the top
most of our time both day and night.
We surely have the Germans going
double time now.
If there is such thing as h
sure have been there, however I
think we have the hardest work be-
hind us. l didn't have any of my
clothes off for thirty days. All we
had to lay in was a big shell hole
and it was raining almost all of the
time. We didn't have a slicker or
anything else but ammunition and
rifles.
I got six holes shot in my pack
and belt and got thru without a sin
gle scratch. Talk about hard work,
If you got to work twenty hours a
day and get one meal you can con-
slider yourself lucky, as I am no jok-
ing. I would give $1,000 for meal
in good old U. s. hotel.
We are ON our way back to the
front again, hoping this will be the

improbable that any considerable mar
