Dear folks;--
Ifeel sure that you are always
glad to hear from your boys in camp.
Recently returning from farm fur
, Tough, for thirty days. | find a
great change and that great num-
Der of the boys have made their
departure for a seaport whey they
will sail for France very soon,
Dear people at home, you may
think that we are becoming very
impatient and that we spend much
of our time in being blue and dis
couraged. No doubt that during
the last winter days while you were
enjoying the comfort of your firesides
that you wondered if VIC were cared
for the same as if we were at home.
Of course we were not and could not
expect to be, but we can't hesitate
at thinking of having a picnic.
We are not only glad that we
represent this grand old U. S. A.
in this great fight for democracy,
but we are exceedingly glad that
we are among the ones that represent
the Magnolia state, MISSISSIPPI,
At first we could not fully under
stand the proposition that we were
up against but, since true stories
have been brought to us from those
who have actually been in the black
ness of the fight and have told us
the many things our enemy is doing,
it is more than we Mississippi boys
can stand. and we are puttinglevery
effort forward that we possess.
We can see our nation being tor
tured by the most torturous nation
that ever has existed, and can also
see our friends, the allies being slain
as the beast of the forest. We can
see our President, Woodrow Wilson
being abused, our fathers back at
home with the property that they
toiled for from early dawn until sun
set, and it is being taken from him.
Then, can we as American boys
hesitate in doing everything possible
to put the Kaiser and his band on
| their shortest route to hell that the
world may have peace. Those who
have gone have gone without a feal
and of good cheer. we that have moi
gone are anxiously awaiting the
chance when we may go.
We realize that our state is very
insignificant as compared with tht
world but we want you to have The
honor of being a great help in vic
tory for the good old U. S. A
Very truly yours,
Private CLAYTON A. GROUSE

Lend To Uncle Sam Or Give
To The Kaiser.

We must conquer and we must
count no sacrifice too great to make
in order that we may conquer-in
order that the world may be saved
from domination by power which
knows no God but force and which
would know no mercy for us as a con-
quered foe. The money we are asked
to lend our government in Liberty
Bonds and War Savings Stamps is
as nothing to the money we should
be forced to give the German govern
ment i'll indemnities if we should
fail. And the loss of life in fight
to the finish now is less than will be
the loss of life if the struggle ends
without decision. There can only
be a truce and no real peace be-
tween Kaiserism and us, between
Democracy and Autocracy, between
Force and Righteousness. Ii we do
not conquer Germany now, the world
must remain an armed camp through
fear of her until she is conquered,
and our children and our children's
children may not see the end of this
struggle. The Progressive Farmer.

 Instead" he continued, "I wish to insist on our determination to make a league of nations a reality and for this reason l have just appointed a commission of IA of our most promi- nent citizens to study the problems connected herewith"
 Concerning the internal situation in Spain, Count Romanones declared that there was only one problem-Cata- Iona.
 But we are able to solve that prob lem easily by giving Catalonia auto nomy."
 Count Romanones dealt at length on the good relations Spain wishes to maintain with the Latin world, espec- ially with Central and South America, as we'll as with France and Italy.
 Tonight the count visited King Vic tor Emmanuel and discussed the pos sibility of an exchange of visits be- tween the Italian monarch and King Alfonso.

MIXED NEW YORK
 POLITICS WITH PROPAGANDA JOB
Senator Reed Charges Improper
 Use of Some of Affidavits- Assistant Atty Becker Frank ly Admits Political Purposes.

Washington, Dec. 2O.-MOst of to- days session of the senate commit tees Investigating German propagan- da was taken up with tits between Alfred L. Becker, assistant attorney general of New York, and Senator Reed, of Missouri, who is not a mem Der of the committee.
 Senator Reed, in cross-examining the New York official, who had been on the stand two days, charged that Merton E. Lewis, attorney general of New York, and Becker, misused their official positions in making public in formation contained in affidavits se- cured by them under special war leg islation. These affidavits referred to alleged meetings of William Randolph Hearst with Bolo Pasha, executed in France as a traitor, and former Am bassador von Bernstorff.
 Mir. Becker denied the charge, say ing that the affidavits made public were nto secured under the special legislation. He said that certain dis closures purporting to show associa- tion of Hearst and Bolo were made public flor what ] frankly admit were political purposes" He justified this course on the ground that their publication was in the public interest.
 The information under discussion was given to New York newspapers mainly in August, September and Os- tober when Becker was a candidate for the Republican nomination for at torney general of New York State and Attorney General Lewis was candidate for the Republican nomina- tion for governor against Charles s. Whitman. It appeared from the cross examination that Hearst was consid- cred supporter of Whitman, and Senator Reed sought to show that Lewis and Becker intended to damage Whitman by attacking Hearst.
 Senator Reed read from a New York newspaper of July 31, 1917, story telling of Bolo Pasha's atten- tions to a Metropolitan opera singer, Spanish woman whose relations with Bolo were declared by Becker to be entirely blameless. In this story was a letter from Bolo to the singer men, tioning my friend, Mrs. Millicent Hearst"

PEACE CONGRESS TO HAVE NO BOSS
 SAYS PRESIDENT
Best Work and Knowledge of All Necessary to Just Settlement Wilson Quoted as Saying
 Must Be Frank Understanding

Paris, Dec 20.-"I am confident that the big council of statesmen of the world will be able to reach a just and reasonable solution of the prob lems that will be presented to them, and thus earn the gratitude of the world for the most critical and neces- sary service which has ever been rem dered it." said President Wilson to- day in an interview, referring to the approaching peace conference.
 The interview was given to the cor respondent of the London Times. In it the president is reported to have stated his views on the discussion of the freedom of the seas and to have entrusted the evils of the Vienna congress with a hopeful outlook for the Versailles congress.
 Lord Northcliffe, editor of the Lon- don Times, has given the Associated Presss a copy of the interview, from which the following extracts have been made:
 The congress of Vienna, the cores pendent says President Wilson told him, was a congress of "bosses." The delegates were concerned more with their own interests and the classes they represented than the wishes of their peoples.
 Versailles, as President Wilson said," the interviewer continues, must be meeting place of the ser wants of the peoples represented by delegates, and, he added, there is no master mind who can settle the prob lems of today. If there is anybody who thinks he knows what is on the mind of all peoples, that man is a fool. We have all got to put our heads together and pool everything we have got for the benefit of the ideals which are common to all."

INCREASE URGED FOR
SUGAR BEET WORK ERS

Laharers who cultivate sugar beets
IN Colorado will this year receive an
Increase Of IS an acre for their work
if the beet growers adopt a sugges-
ton made by the Great Western Sugar
company. In 1917 laborers were
paid s2l an acre for thinning and cult
waiting beets in this state. but the
Great Western company has advised
growers IN territory adjacent TO its
factories TO raise the figure to S24 this
year.
II IS estimated by the company that
this raise in price viii entail an in
creased cost of approximately three
quarters of a million dollars to the
growers, but il is pointed out that the
higher price 10 be paid for sugar
beets in 1918 will more than take care
of the added labor expense.
The company feels that it will be
in possible to procure enough laborers
to cultivate the 1915 crop unless more
money is offered. Many young men
have gone into the army and higher
wages are being paid in all lines Of
work. the Great Western company
points ont TO the growers.
