I'm Months of Arduous Duty.


Bu Special Correspondent.
TOTTENVILLE, Nov. 6-Members
of the police reserve in all i've bor-
oughs of the greater city of New York

issued by Colonel Woods, chief OF

The members fear the order will
throw many out of their ranks who
have put in months of arduous police
duty without pay.
Police Inspector John +. Dwyer,
who is in charge OF the reserves, and
through whom the order was sent to
all commanders of districts declared
the men are needlessly alarmed, that
not more than three per cent of them
would be affected.
TIL order is dated October 20 and
reads: tt all district commanders OF
the police reserves: You will as soon
as possible have measured Tor the
uniform suit fequired, together with
the size of the cap, leggins and shoes,
each member of the reserves of your
command who performs patrol, thea
tire or other duty. and who Is worthy
and desirable member, measuring al
least five feet six and one-half inches
and who Is physically qualified to per-
form reasonable duty. except those
subject to classification under Glass
IA of the selective service act"
The order then gives routine direc-
lions as to how the return shall be
made and continues: UNLESS COM
manding officers forward the reduir-
ed data promptly. cold weather will
set In before the men are supplied
with wooden uniforms therefore II IL
necessary that haste be made"
The order directs that OF
men recommended for uniforms be
submitted and is signed by order OF
Police Commissioner Colonel William
e. Woods. chief of staff Of the police
reserves.

lines will find you o. X.
I know It is not our faule kid II
you are drafted for you tried to enlist
and could not pass on account of your
weight. Try and get in the signal
corps. I get away with a little French
but IL does not amount to very much.
Well, I hope you will write about

I will try and look up mothers I'M

Dear Mother:
Just a line to .let you know that I
am still alive and as happy as I al
ways was.
Well. ma, I am doing plenty of hik-
ing and in all kinds of weather. Rain,
cold ana all hours OF the night ana
day find us on the march. The Huns
are retreating so fast that we can't
catch up to them. We are right on
their heels every day and II Dur dough
boys keep up this work I will be home
sooner than I expected to be.
We sleep in woods and the dew Is
very heavy out here and when we get
up things are all damp. We are hav-
ing very much rain out In this part of
the world and IL makes II very hard
for US to hike. as the mud and soft
earth is all the harder for us to go on.
I was fitted in a whole winter out
At OF wool underwear. wool hat. wool
Esox. wool uniform and wool leggins,
so you see that I am very well pro-
tected from the winter gales.
I have seen some of the cities that
the Huns destroyed years ago in
France. It was q shame to see what
they did to the churches and to the
villages, but II is all coming back
to them now. I wish our good work
will keep up and that we will be In
Berlin soon.
Did you receive the allotment from
Washington? Hope This finds you in
the best of health. I remain,
Your son.

Here and There

Charles f. Coe, superintendent Of
the Roseburg Indian Agency, who
has been stationed at this place for
the past two years, has received a
promotion to the position of special
supervisor in the Indian service. No
assignment is made in the appoint
ment and it is not known whether
he will be sent elsewhere to serve or
not. Mr.. Coe has made no effort to
change his present status in any
manner, but in view Of special abil-
ity shown while in charge Of the
local office his friends are not at all
surprised. AS there are but five 9TH
er special supervisors in the Indian
service it seems like a distinction to
be given this promotion, and all who
know Mr.. Coe will be glad to hear
this news.-Roseburg Review.

Gov. Withycombe
Issues Appeal

In response to the call of the State
Council of Defense for the Armenian
and Syrian Relief, Governor Witty
ccmbe has issued an appeal to the
people of Oregon to respond to this
call. In further proof of his interest
the governor has assumed the sup
port of one orphan for the period of
the war and has sent check for the
first months payment to the Oregon
branch of this relief. The appeal is
as follows:
Oregon has responded royalty to
President Wilson's appeals for the
Red Cross an the army Y. M. c. A.
lie now asks US to supply generous
aid for the relief of the sufferers in
Asia Minor.
For three years the Armenians
and Syrians have passed through un-
told suffering in massacre, deporta-
tion and starvation. The only agency
that has been able to help the suffer-
ing survivors is the American people.
American relief money distributed by
Americans still remaining on the field
mas been the means of keeping thou
sands alive.
Reports of American diplomatic
and consular agents and other Amer
lean residents who have recently re-
turned from western Asia indicate
that the two and one-half million sur
vivors, mostly women and children,
of whom 100000 are orphans, are
on the verge of death by starvation
unless they receive immediate help.
Exiled from home, robbed of their
possessions, wandering in a desolate
land, their only hope for the barest
necessities of life is in American
charity.
I'm view of the fact that govern
ment aid is impossible and that
American generosity is the only
means of keeping these starving peo-
pie alive, appeal to the sympathy of
the people of Oregon to contribute
generously through the Oregon Com
mittee for Armenian and Syrian Re-
lief, Ben Selling, treasurer, Portland.

There are some millions of us who
