= Write from :
OVER THERE

Mrs. Fred Clark Of Smithf1eld has
received two letters from her son,
Lawrence Clark, which will be OF in
terest to his many friends.
Somewhere in France, Nov. q. 1917.
Dear Mother: ~. ~"
Well naDther. just few lines this
morning to let you all know that am
all right and feeling fine.
| wish that we could eat our turkey
dinner together today.
I have received three letters from
YOU and expect moro soon. Have you
received any from me YETI
In the last iSter that I got from you
you said if there was anything
wanted to let you know.
Now l can't say that there is aps-
thing / need very bad, but I could use
some handkerchiefs and something
warm for my hands and feet. And you
all know that smoke cigarettes and it
doesn't make any difference what they
are over here cha. HaD I have
written to most all the folks two or
three times, but they don't seem to
answer any Of my letters.
Will write you good long letter in
a few days when there IS more room to
write They are building new Y. NJ.
G. A. building and when all done there
will be room for everyone.
Well. mother, take good care of
yourself and remember me to all the
folks.
! will call this enough for this time.
Wishing you Merry Christmas and a
Happy New Year. as ever your son,
LAWRENCE CLARK.
Somewhere in France, Dec. ., 1917.
Dear Mother:
Just few lines tonight before I go
to bed.
! am getting along all right but it is
little cold over here. Yesterday
found that Marcellus s. Cobb was in
a village about two miles from here so
] went out to see him, and they told me
that he died about week ago. He
had double pneumonia and he was only
sick for two or three days. He was in
a hospital and there are some of the
best doctors from the L. s. so you can
see that he had the best Of care.
I wish YOU would get word to his
mother. l think some of the officers
must have let her know il his death
before now, but thought she would
feel better If someone wrote her that
knew him. also tell her that they all
spoke very highely of him and that
feel very sorry for her.
I have seen several Of the boys from
Oakland and that are In the same VIII
lage that he was, and they are all
well.
We had a very nice dinner Thanks
giving here in camp and everyone had
all they could eat. Turkey, cranberry
sauce. Irish and sweet potatoes. bread
and butter, pie, nuts and coffee.
Well. will call this enough for this
time. hoping to hear from you all soon.
Wishing you all Merry Christmas
and a Happy New Year.
I think you all could write q few
lines once in awhile.
As ever your son.

things" tha' the administration quit
the SHOW" end Of this war prosecu-
ton, drop the pretense. take the peo-
pie into government confidence. face
the truth together, and DRIVE" this
war as we are driving billions out Of
the people in support of it.
Let us admit that we were unready
and cannot fool Germany into think
irg that we were ready. The war
masters knew infinitely more about II
than did the American people. They
knew when we could be expected TO
appear in numbers and equipment
dangerous to them. And we-why we
thought we were "READY"-all but
calling the men to arms.
We called the men. months ago, but
where are the arms:s
We would Suggest to avoid these
things" that half million men be kept
at productive labor until the govern
ment can use them, or is somewhere
near ready to train" them with the
instruments Of war. That some plan
to encourage production Of food go
along, side by side, with production Of
all the, other things of which we had
none ready for war.
We were as unready in food as we
| were in munitions, because business
| as usual and war profits" had kept
the surplus to narrow margin.
In hastily mobilizing unarmed men,
and devoting every government en-
deavor to procuring that which it had
not but had publicly proclaimed to
have, we robbed the food producing
machinery Of its gear.
There is where we are today-out OF
balance. directed by a pretense that
has enslaved us, and will enslave us
until we disavow 1t.
Let us present this phase of a criti-
cal situation to the government. II we
| love our country, and our highest aim
is to win this war. instead OF making
! # a carriage to great fortunes by fav-
ored interests, we shall make honest
government officials see the light-the
danger signal in undermining the
thing that is the salvation of us all
