 "Oct. 14, 1918. Friend Red -
 Well old boy, Pm glad to hear that the Spanish influenza didn't quite finish you It certainly is tough the way the people are dying from it, especially up in New England l re ceived a letter from home this noon and it told of how Fred Peterson died from it. We have been trans ferred from the main barracks, back to the old manoeuyer grounds again. It was a warm day when we moved. They gave us two hours to pack up and get ready for the seven mile trip to the manoeuver grounds.

cRUELTIES OF BULGARS
Only Quarter Of Population In Sores
After Two Years Occupation.

Only Quarter Of Population In Sores
After Two Years Occupation.
When Sores, in Greek Macedonia,
was occupied by the Bulgarians in De-
cember, 1916, the inhabitants num-
bered 24,000 Since that time 5000 of
these have died. 1000 have been de-
ported, and 1000 men and boys have
been put to work on the construction
of roads. Today the population is be-
tween 5000 and 5000.
Bulgarian documents which have
been found In the Macedonian towns
show that large numbers of deaths
were due to the Indifference of the
Bulgarian authorities to the condition
of the civilian population. Wholesale
deportations were made and cruelties
inflicted which were not justified by
the necessities of war. Not only were
the military authorities involved in
this work, but the civil officers were
tyrannous toward the people.
Churches were looted and private
houses were stripped Of their furni-
ture, which was placed in officers
quarters. The interment of bodies in
the cemeteries were made in hap
hazard way, and no inscriptions werc
placed over the graves, so that surviv-
ing relatives do not know the resting
places of their loved, ones.

.M.rseIIiaIsev Author : RoyaIIst.

The "Marseillaise" is often consid-
cred hymn by radicals and Reds, be-
cause Il was first widely used by rev.
olutionists. but Rouget de Isle was,
when he wrote It and to the end of his
long life, a convinced royalist true to
his oath Of loyalty to Louis XVI. Some
months after his great hymn was writ
ten he was arrested as counter-revo-
lutionary. and was saved from the
guillotine only because Robespierre,
the master terrorist, was executed.
Rouget de Lisle was so hostile to
the radicals that, rather than take
part in the wars Of revolutionary
France, he retired from the army, be-
coming prominent again only after the
July revolution, when King Louis
Philippe made him chevalier Of the
Legion Of Honor and gave him a PEN
sion.

FINDING NO BlCHES,
YANKS CHASE RABBIT
Forget All About the War When
Bunny Jumps Up Under
Their Feet.

French and American batteries
pounded the German lines for five
hours preceding the attack against the
st. Mihiel salient from the west.
When the doughboys went over the
top In Les Eparges sector there was
not an answering shot from the Ger
man trenches opposite. The gunfire
had so shattered the nerves of those
who survived the bombardment they
could not emerge from their deep dug
outs.
Two American soldiers dashed
across "No' Mans land" In the lead,
raced through to the enemy's barbed
wire entanglements, riven and pulver-
lied by the artillery, and leaped over
the parapet into the German trench.
Just then two white rabbits ducked
out from a corner and ran round the
corner of the traverse. 1t was all so
quiet, with nary a live German In
sight, not the suspicion of machine
gun nor an answering shot from the
German batteries in the rear that the
Yanks forgot all about war; the attack,
the Boches and everything else. They
just did what any average fellows
would do, started chasing the rabbits.
They beat it down the first line
trench, stumbling over the debris
where the American shells had caved
In the parapet every few yards and
finally rounded up the pair of rabbits,
nice and fat and tender.
When their platoon commander
burst into the trench, having been de-
layed little by patch of barbed
wire still standing, he found the two
men arguing as to whether they should
eat the rabbits or keep them as pets.
