swamped With Work.


Only note. but have neglected
you for four days. We are simply
swam3ed. For four days have work
ed constantly from s a. m. to IL
p. m. in the operating room, remov-
ing foreign bodies, etc.
Il do not know how many I have
done, but many. and with someone
constantly at my shoulder seeking
advice and asking me to see cases
here, there and everywhere, I wonder
how I get by. Most of the time three
anesthetists are trying to keep me
busy.
1--WE are just cleaned up, and at 8
a. m. 500 more came in. l have many
duties, but am getting by, and every
body wants to help. They are all
lovely and feel that every man in
the organization is real friend.
Some day l shall finish the job and
be ready for long rest at home"

Mr.. Cooper Thanks !.
Those Who Made
Loan a Success


The psonle of Fremont county have
subscribed TO the Fourth Liberty loan
bonds to the extent of an even half
million dollars. nor allotted quota be-
ing s4s5.25o. To my mind this is di-
zsctly due, FIRST, to the splendid pa
triofic franae or mind in which the
good people of the county have al
ways found themselves in all matters
that effect the successful prosecution
OF the war; and secondly. to the work
of the organization which undertook
this great task
No set of men and women have ever
worked in any campaign in this or
any other county with a more de-
termined purpose and with greater pa
triotic zeal. and to them is due much
of the credit The press of this coun-
ty has at all times given unstintedly
of their space in helping us go over
the top.
To all those who have helped in
making this campaign the success it
has been. as chairman desire to ex-
press my sincere appreciation. 1t is
iertain the kaiser would not find a
home in Fremont county congenial.

Macmillan represents the German

In the new German note to Wilson l
see all the earmarks OF the Russian
trick.
The Russians asked Germany the
same question that Wilson asked. The
Russian question was:
II we go to Brest-Litovsk TO talk
peace will we meet there the real
representatives of the German
peopleg
The answer was exactly the same
answer that has been given to Pres
ident Wilson. The Germans said:
At Brest-Litovsk the representa-
tives of the Russian people will
meet; face to face. at the peace
table. the representatives of the
German people.
This message was taken ito the Rus.
sian government by different messen.

the German socialist. and with other
Germans so-cailed liberals. were sent
past the German censors into Russia.
The Russian newspapers. ONE
YEAR AGO, were just as full of Ger
many's democratization as the Amer
lean papers are today.
When came out of Russia, later,
and discovered that the kaiser was
stiIi In fuu power and that the mill
tary leaders stfii ruled over the lives
and destinies OF the German people, |
was astonished.
Every American who was in Russia
at that time had the same experience
We all thought then, from reading
the Russian papers and from listening
to Russian street and parior talk. that
the comon people in Germany had Won
their fight against autocracy.
The talk hear in America today
and the newspaper reports read. even
the official statements from Germany
that no longer mention the kaiser
but that purport to come from men
who represent the German masses
bring back to my mind all those days
in Russia when the Russian people
thought the day OF peace and fair play
had come again.
The Russian government sent dele
gates to Brest-Litovsk. These dele
gates expected to meet socialists and
democrats and men who could SPEAK
for the German people. Instead. they
met men who represented nobody but
the German kaiser. Between the
German people and the Russian peo
pie the German kaiser had erected a
steel wall of militarists. There the
