confidence in the soldiers.
Friedrich Ebert, the premier,

there was no necessity for the red
guard. He said: IL have no anxiety
for the new government because 1t
Is sustained by the confidence of the
masses. We have received news
that the troops were orderly when
the armistice was declared. In the

we have prospect Of getting peace

known soon.
Washington, Nov. 19.-Following
official statement was issued at the
White House concerning President
Wilson's attendance at the peace
conferences:
1.-The president expects to sail for
France Immediately after the open
ing of the session of congress for the
purpose of taking part in the dis
cussion and settlement of the main
features of the treaty of peace. 1t is
not likely that it will be possible
for him to remain throughout the
sessions of the formal peace confer
ence, but his presence at the outset
is necessary in order to obviate the
manifest disadvantages of discussion
by cable in determining the greater
outlines OF the final treaty about
which he must necessarily be con-
suited. He will, of course, be ac-
companied by delegates. who will sit
as the representatives of the United
States throughout the conference.
"The names of the delegates will
be presently announced"

that is about all the news there is

thing of the camp life. We have about
here in this camp. They are a
very fine bunch of fellows. Every
one is in for a good time and believe
me we sure have it. The officers are
very nice. They mix with the boys
at the dances and they are very fond
of baseball and all out-of-door sports
so you see there is enjoyment as we'll

ONLY a Volunteer
Why didn't 1 wait to be drafted,
And led to the train by a band,
And put in claim for exemption;
Oh, why did I hold up my hand?
Why didn't l wait for the banquet?
Why didn't | wait to be cheered?
For the drafted men "get the credit
While - merely volunteered
And nobody gave me banquet
And nobody said kind word.
The grind of the wheels of the engine
Was all the goodbye that heard.
Then off to the camp I was mustered
To be trained for the next half year,
And then in the shuttle forgotten
l was only volunteer.
And maybe some day in the future
When my little boy sits on my knee,
And asks what | did in the conflict
And his little eyes look up to me
1 will have to look back, as in blush
ing,
To the eyes that so trustingly peer
And tell him l missed being drafted

Dear Mother: I will answer your

makes me long to see old Moscow.
Do you realize it has been nearly four
years since l have been there. Well,
YOU asked me what kind of a country
this is down here, so it won't be very
hard to tell you 1t is just sand and
sage brush and greasers. Believe me-,
I sure will enjoy getting back in Idaho
again Well, Mamma. I have about
four more months to stay in this
place yet, if !. don't get sent across
before, but l am ready to go any time.
The sooner they send me the better l
will like it. J wish that I was in
Jacks place and he was in mine, not
wishing him any bad luck for it sure
is unlucky to be here on the border
doing nothing while there is so much
excitement going on over there. |
don't see why they don't let some one
fight that wants to fight.
