Social Happenings

mon. Recent prices for articles of food,
brought in spite of the set prices, are
twelve dollars pound for tea, ham,
$3.75 pound, eggs twenty five cents a
piece, butter SIS a pound, etc. The
shortage in butter and sugar is partly
caused by the use of these articles in
the making Of ammunition.
When the Kaiser travels he is pre-
ceded by men. who clear the roads of all
traffic, an automobile follows with Of
ficers in 1t. Then comes the Kaiser
in similar automobile with officers.
Soldiers follow withs guns ready to
shoot anyone who might modest him.
The automobiles go through towns at
the rate of forty or fifty miles an
hour.
In regard to spies Mr.. Quarles stated
that while we are finding German spies
here, there ale many English spies in
Germany and there have been frequent
fires that were doubtless counsel by
them. Oil warehouses, leather manu-
facturier' and flour mills have been
burned.
The excellent work of motor boat
was described that was entirely di-
rected by wireless apparatus. While
the invention was originated here, Ger
many has carried it to greater state
of perfection.
Mr.. Quarles censured some American
newspapers for inaccurate statements.
He favored censorship as he said the
news in American papers got into Ger
many and influenced opinion. Speech
es Of disloyalists were repeated in full.
He stated that the invention of cars
for submarine as described in the
Sunday edition of a New York paper
and that the Germans found out how
to make these cars for their own use.
The description was so accurate that
they were able to complete the inven-
ton. Boys of twelve are not in the
army, boys Of seventeen are the young
est. The man-power of Germany is but
little affected by such losses as 100000
men in the recent drive. There are
many millions Of men in the German
and Austrian armies and the man power
is about inexhaustible.
There will in Mr.. Quarles' opinion
be failure in something, as iron or
copper or other needed things and
this will bring about a cessation of
hostilities. The war may perhaps last
year or two longer.
At the close Of the lecture Mr.. Quar-
les was given vote of thanks by the
audience and many congratulated him
individually on his clear and forceful
address on the present conditions in
Germany.

seem good to hear from you an to get
all the news of home. You claim it
is pleasure for you and dear Dad to

last night
Worked all day unloading boxes and
ON an the same job tomorrow. Our
whole company is doing it while the
labor trouble continues An order was
received from Gen. Pershing telling us
to send over two hundred car loads Of
ammunition so we will be busy for
week or so. 1t sure is hard work but
we are the only men available so we
are doing it. | don't think it will
continue for long and / hope we get
back to the machine gun work again.
Say Mother do you know where Joe
and the fellows are going when they
leave Kenosha9 If you do please let
me know as would like to keep track
of them.

We are going to get some more sum-
mer underwear and clothes tomorrow so
it looks as though we would be here
for quite a while.
Am glad to know William Purnell
won first honors at High School and [
am going to write him tonight and find
out how be is. l suppose Bill will be
enlisting soon as when L talked with
him last he sure had the fever and l
don t blame him. 1t sure seems a
shame when you think OF all the fell
lows at home who could be in the
scrap but are not Well suppose they
would rather stay at home and not give
up all the pleasures Of civilian life, but
i never regret my enlisting and I hope
everything keeps going as good as it
has so far.
1t seems hard sometimes but there is
always the feeling that you are doing
e your bit.
Am glad to see Kenosha went over
the top in the Liberty Loan drive and
am sure she will back up the fellows
who are fighting for this mighty cause.
Well Mother, have to write a letter

Until tomorrow with coolies of love
to Dad, Marie and Yourself.
