From Robert Lark.

I. June 30-Dear Mother: 1t has been
long time since l wrote to you, or
heard from you, but l have been SO
busy lately that l couldn't find time.
We have been moving for the last ten
days-drive all night and sleep all
day. We are in part of France now
where the war has been at one time.
The people here are very poor. This
town in which we are camped is not
so badly shot up, but we have just
left one that was broke up badly
few years ago. The airplanes are
circling around our heads; just some
French aviators out scouting and in
practice flying.
July 81 just received a letter
from you today for the first time in
about month, but / guess our mail
will catch up with US sometime. We
have been moving 80 much lately that
it would be some job for letters to
keep up with US. We are now station
ed in a very nice place behind the
lines. This was once a nice sized
town, but there are no civilians here
at all now. 1t is a wide open town.
All the buildings, with the exceptions
of a few, have been battered with |
shot and shell. We are not allowed |
to send pictures Of places like this.
l wish we could because it looks just
like the pictures l saw before l came
over here.

From Berle Kelley.

| Berle Kelley, who was reported as
among the casualties in France sew
eral months ago, seems to be very
much alive, as the following letter
received from him by Harry Shrop-
shire, Jr., shows:
Dear Pak l received your letter
today and l don't need to say was
glad to get it. We are taking a little
rest now. don't know how long it
will last. Our billets are pretty nice
here, but the village does not amount
to much.
l imagine you are pretty busy now.
Too bad all the fruit was killed just
at time when it was needed. This
new labor law is going to hit lot
of fellows who never did anything
but hold down chair, isn't it?
Speaking of fishing, l would sure
like to catch a few nice trout new.
The fellows fish here quite a bit, but
/ never saw anyone catch any yet.
Just got back from a ball ne.
Pretty punk The score was 10 to
when l left. We play almost eve-y
evening. We start in school soon. I
like it as well now as l used to. Z
expect we will get about eight hours
a day. Some grind, but that is the
way to get the work done. We can.
know too much.
The days are long now. 1t is day.
light about 8 or $3.50, and isn't dark
until about 10. l thank the Lord w.
don't have to get up at sun-up.
Mother sent me one of Clyde's let
ters. He says they are keeping him
pretty busy. l guess those fellows
are getting some hard training.
The Emmett index. [volume] (Emmett, Idaho) 1893-1925, 1918-08-15

/ expect to be in France before long
now and hope we can go into active
service right away with the trucks,
as / am beginning to get lonesome for
little grease on my hands again.
How are things going at the shop :?
l will be glad to get back to the old
place once more and pull on my old
greasy overalls and climb down the
pit. AT the same time wouldn't miss
doing what have done and am to do
yet for anything, as the trip and
the sights are well worth the time
and labor one has to go through.

where in France"

From Rufus Sorenson.

Rufus Sorenson, who left Emmett
the first of July, is already in France.
He writes the following brief letter
to his sister:
Somewhere in France, July 49,
l am we'll at present. l like it over
here fine. This is sure pretty coun-
try. The buildings are all made of
stone and they are very nice build
ings. They have good crop here;
the grain looks fine. think they
raise more to the acre than they do
in the States. l had good trip on
the boat and didn't get sick, although
the water was very rough.

WHAT TO EAT

Indigestion and practically all forms
of stomach trouble, say medical au-

ten to an excess OF hydrochloric acid
in the stomach. Chronic "acid stom-
ach" is exceedingly dangerous and
sufferers should do either one Of two
things.

harmful acid and prevent the forma-
ton of gas, sourness or premature

GERMANY HAS NO
HATE, SAYS KAISER

AMSTERDAM. Sept. 13.-Germany
has no hatred, only honest wrath, the
Kaiser said in a speech to Krupp
workers, according to a dispatch
here today.
"Germany's enemies began the war
because they were envious of Ger
many's prosperity" said the Kaiser
Their envy became hatred when
their calculations failed. Germans
do not know hatred-only honest
wrath which deals the enemy a blow
and then when he is PROSTATE and
bleeding we extend him our hand
and look to his recovery. Germany is
only fighting for existence and must
fight the battle through"
I'm December, 1916" the Kaiser
added, Il presented to the enemy
public a clear offer OF peace in the
name of the German people and my
allies. The answer was jeers and
mocking. In the past months my
government leaders have repeated
ly and unambiguously declared we
are always ready to offer the hand
of peace"

EVA ROY SUSPECT
KEEPS UP NERVE

Lou Hall, the Fairfax county wood
cutter. who is charged with the MUIR
der of Eva Roy, and who is to be ex-
smined by the county grand jury next
week, continues his calm mood.
Those in possession of the sircun-
stantial clues under which he has
been held for more than five weeks,
nad thought that he would surely
break down ere this and either confess
the crime or implicate come one else
as the real criminal in the case. His
movements in the neighborhood OF
the crime at Burke Station on Au-
gust 6, the Commonwealth believes.
either incriminate him or make him
valuable witness.
For professional reasons it is
thought that those investigating the
case for the Commonwealth have evil
dence which has not been divulged.
They hint at such a situation.
The murder mystery has been the
most complicated situation ever thrust
on the county OF Fairfax, but Com
monwealth Attorney Ford, Assistant
Commonwealth Attorney Wilson I.
Farr, and other county officials, have
worked all five weeks since the muir
der was committed in running down
every clue which seemed worthy OF
investigation.
The detectives assisting the Com
monwealth in the investigation of
clues believe they have been working
under considerable handicap because
of the dumb ignorance OF Hall, and
the fact that the clothes of little Eva
Roy were destroyed by her family i'm
mediately after she was found muir
dered in the woods where she was
looking after her fathers herd OF
cows.
