RAYMOND HALLS DEATH.
Minerva Soldier Sueeumbs to Pneu.
monia at Camp Shelby.

Definite information that Raymond
W. Hall was dead at Camp Shelby,
Miss. was received late Saturday in a
telegram announcing that the body
would reach this city this morning.
The body reached here at 9:25, via
Des Moines. James Hall, the young
mans father also reached the city this
morning from Hattiesburg. Hall died
at Il: so Friday morning of lobar pneu-
monia. following an illness of epidemic
pneumonia
James Hall, of Minerva. and his
daughter in-I law left Des Moines on
the night OF Sunday. oct. IS. for
Camp Shelby. in response to word an
nouncing the serious illness of their
son and husband. Word received a
few days ago at Minerva said the
young man was doing nicely. Follow
ing her arrival at Hattiesburg Mrs.
Hall gave premature birth TO babe,
and Mrs. Halls mother, Mrs. 5. NJ.
Johns, left Des Moines at once for
Hattiesburg. Mr.. Johns, brother of
Mrs. Hall, received a message Friday
night to the effect Mat Mrs. Hall was
unable to come with the body. but that
an escort would accompany it. While
Mr.. Johns presumed that the body re-
ferred TO was that of his brother-in-
law. there was a possibility that it
referred to the babe. In going to the
telegraph office, and trying to get an
other message thru TO Camp Shelby,
an almost impossible task. it proved.
Mr. Johns found that a telegram. un-
delivered, had preceded the message he
ha o. n no
which it was said that Raymond was
failing rapidly, and to be prepared to
expect the worst. This made it appear
all the more as tho young Hall were
dead, yet no positive statement to that
effect had been received.

elder son OF Mr.. and Mrs. James Hall,
of Minerva, and was born on his faith
er's farm, one mile west of Minerva.

STRENGTHEN MORALE OF ALLIES

The enormous Importance to the
moral of our allies of a continued sup
ply of meat and wheat from America
was emphasized by Mr.. Hoover at the
recent Conference Of the Woman's
Committee Of the Council Of National
Defense in Washington. His state
ment brought wildly to the minds of
the delegates the connection between
their own efforts toward the conserya-
ton OF food and the great issues fac
ing our allies abroad. Mr.. Hoover
said:
THE meat question has been and
remains a serious one. The English
found themselves confronted by a crit
ical situation and had to reduce their
consumption to one and one-fourth
pounds per weeg per capita as against
a normal consumption of about three
pounds per week per capita as against
the ration. That has been not only
of physical importance but of 20
nous importance to the morale of the
and meat ration existing in the early
part Of March If some alienation could
not have been had in the face of the
encouragement of the German drive,
the results might have been serious.
II like to think that my state helped
to make possible the increase in the
English ration" said one of the chair
men in discussing Mr.. Hoover's talk.
And why should | not think so, since
our women have followed the instruc-
tions OF the food pledge card, have
planted gardens. canned and preserved.
In thousands of our homes a complete
revolution has been made in the fam
lily diet, so that there might be a saw
ing in the food stuffs that are needed
by u allies abroad. | am going
home now and tell our ONE that
they must put all their energy into
the saving of wheat, since the wheat
loaf has become a symbol of life of
all western European nations. We
are not to feel that we can abandon
our program of conservation because
we hope for an abundant harvest. The
food problem is not ended,-it may
become more severe. We cannot re-
lax that psychology of devotion in
food matters throughout the whole
period of the war Mr.. Hoover said
so and | heard him."

there is a girl-we were to have been
married this spring"
His voice broke, but quickly he
caught himself as if ashamed of his
emotion.
Pardon me-" he said, that's anoth-
or thing we're afraid of. No, we do
not dare think much of home and
loved ones and what might have been.
It's dangerous, more dangerous than
the Hun bullets. We have steeled our
selves against that-just set all such
things forward into the future.
Then came the training camp at
home, with its long, hard days. Then
the excitement of embarkation and the
wonderful sea voyage-then France!
Let me tell you what | had been
thinking about as we came across the
water. Do you remember when Gen
eral Sherman was fighting his way
down the old Chattanooga railroad to-
ward Atlanta during the Civil War?
General Corse was engaged in a ter
rife struggle at Altoona Pass and
sherman was sending relief. Hoping
to encourage Corse, Sherman signaled
to him across the mountain tops that
famous message. Hold the fort, | am
eomingi' thought we had sent the
same message to France when we de-
clared wal on Germany. And France
was holding and we were coming, |
could imagine France, bleeding and
torn, answering in the same spirit that
characterized Corse's reply: 1 am
shot through the jaw and have lost a
leg, but | can whip all hell yeti"
And when l knew that this lad, this
private American soldier, who is but
a type of the thousands already here
and the millions coming, knows France
knows the dangers that threaten the
world, and is alive to his W respon-
sibilities.
With little encouragement the lad
went on discussing the problems of
the private. They like to talk. 1t re-
lieves them. Talk is a safety valve.
They would die if they couldn't talk.
Perhaps they exaggerate sometimes
about their personal experience, but
they cannot ~exaggerate the things that
are actually happening. Thousands OF
boys have had larger experiences than
can ever be told.
He spoke of his impressions of
France, the daily grind here in camp
life preparation for the trench, the
tremendous efforts at REIMBURSEMENT OF
his life to the new environments. Lat.
er came the order for the movement
of his regiment to the front. He de-
clared, and he spoke the truth, that
every mar hailed the order with Joy.
Loud huzzahs rang through the camp
when the order came.
