lOVER THERE

The following interesting letter has
peen received by l. H. Randall of Au-
gusta from his son Sturgis and speaks
highly Of the work Of the Salvation
Army.
Somewhere in France.
Dear Father
wen, it's let up showing and has
started in raining for change. and
everyone and everything is soaking
wet. l have been in France now for
six weeks and have not seen the sun for
four days.
Read in a Paris paper about the coal
shortage IN the States. and the closing
down of factories and wondered if ii
affected you, Will be glad when l get
some mail through so can hear a little
news from home, no matter how old it
is.
Everything is very interesting to me.
and ! wouldn't miss the chance CT
being here for worlds. 1t is something
which l shall always remember. \
good many Of the men get permits to
use cameras. But it is troublesome and
expensive work. So. | bought PAIR
Of field glasses and when | get up on
high hill. the sights l can see through
those glasses are wonderful Wish
could talk more about military things,
as ! know it would interest you a lot.
but it is very easy to get into trouble
over here by saying too much.
Don't write 40l NJ. 8. 7. on any Of my
mail, unless you also use the phrase
LIST Division.
/ am surprised to see the quality and
the usefulness of the work the Saliva
ton Army are doing over here. WhilJ
they don't have as much to do with
nor do they get as much credit, they are
more Of an actual benefit in Il material
way to soldiers than many other organ
iZations. Don't suppose you have any
trouble selling all your wood this WIN
ter?
/ took my first bath in three weeks
yesterday in a pail of hot water, and
had to pay 10 cents for the hot water.
Maybe l wouldn't like to climb into that
bath at home and turn on The not Wat-
er to battle in and the cold water to
drink. One thing about this war, any
one VINO has ever been over here on
active service, and ever kicks on any
living conditions in the United States
should be shot. Send me a Saturday
Evening Post once in awhile. Love to
all
Your son.

Gsrmany's Mistakes

a week or two ago Kaiser Wilhelm
ia an address referred to some Of the
costly mistakes we have made. He
did not itemize and we may assume
the privilege Of placing them to suit
ourselves. To be most generous to
The Kaiser, we should assume that he
naI i. mind the terrible mistake Of
.nictlng on tht :4an!e # all his people,
10 so down through the generations,
The stigma Of the destruction Of Bel
GUM without warning and without
excuse We should assume that he
referred to as a mistake. the destruc-
ton of the lives of thousands OF un-
armed innocents in England and
France. by dropping bombs upon them
from his Zeppelin air craft. We
should hope that he referred to. as q
mistake the sinking of unarmed ships,
carrying cargoes of defenseless women
and children and unarmed men. with
out warning or reason. We might
assume that the Kaiser now believes a
terrorism that have resulted in bring
ing upon Germany and all the COL
onies, her government and her future.
for generations to come, the hatred
and distrust Of all civilized people,
who have followed the bloody and re-
lentles methods of the Prussian war
masters during this war.
Undoubtedly Emperor William ad-
mits within his heart, and, quite prob
ably, within the narrow circle Of his
advisers. that such policies as have
been followed resulting in bringing
America into the war. was a grievous
mistake on the part of Germany. But
Germany has made another mistake,
ard we believe 1t will prove a serious
one, In the fortunes OF her unfortun-
ate. kultur-fed people. and that is the
peace" with various Russian prov
inces. Perhaps the more immediate
effect of his latest performance of
German diplomats is the revolt in Po-
land because a strip of her territory
has been turned over to the Ukraine
to secure the peace desired there by
Germany.
II the Polish legions, organized by
Germany herself to be used against
Russia turn against Germany and
carry with them the polish sympa thiz-
ers throughout Austria and Hungary,
Germany indeed will have made a
mistake in its peace" farce with the
Bolsheviki.
The "disintegration" of the Russian
empire, in which the Prussian war
masters saw almost limitless field for
kultur may yet speed the disintegra-
ton of Prussianism. Already the
Hapsburg throne is vibrating beyond
safety and the crash may come at any
moment.
Russian 'disintegration" is more
dangerous than Russian battle lines.
German mistakes lose more battles
than her armies win
Let America go on preparing for war
while living toward the peace to come,
for these are days when unsefish war
is winner.

NAPLES To HAVE
GREAT sH|PYARD

Naples. Oct. 18-Plans have been
completed for the construction Of the
greatest dry-deck in the Mediterran-
can, which Will be located at Naples.
Government DEGREES have been signed
which authorize the construction OF
this dry-dock, and also for the indus
trial port of Baia-Avern0. This plan
is Of gigantic nature, and is another
example of the wonderful industrial
awakening in Italy. Besides the con-
struction of the dry-docks, the plans
include the Transformation of the lake
OF Averno for the use OF vast ship
yards, the plans OF which are already
under consideration, and which will
have the advantage of having a large
tract Of land In the neigh orhood that
will be dedicated strictly to industrial
purposes. Also, one of the most dar-
ing measures OF the plan Is the con-
struction OF canal of communication
between the lake and the port OF Nap
les proper, and its dry-docks. The es-
timated cost for the work is S5OOOO,OOO
lire, of which the Government Will pay
in a period covering fifty years, the
