Dear Father:
I am writing this in my dugout which
Hegg and built the other day. We
have been at all the important fronts
this summer and have had many ex-
periences to remember You know that
in digging our last shelter hole, was
reminded Of the goose-pits, you and I
have dug. Just imagine one of those
plus q puptent stretched over it and
little stove pipe protruding out Of the
ground beside it, and you have a pic
ture of our home. Oh yes. we must
camouflage, too, just as we did to keep
the geese from seeing US till we were
ready ito let them have it,. The diff
ference lies in that we are the hunted
instead of the hunters in this case. The
hunters are the Boche of course, and
come on wing to find out where we are.
|, German prisoners seem to be pretty
well in. don't think this war will
last much longer. We have most en-
couraging news today and hope some
good news will come out OF 1t.

LETTERS FROM THE
BOYS IN KHAKI
Extracts From Two Letters From In
golf Grmlleaand, son of Judge and
Mrs. Grindeland, now in France
Somewhere in France.

Oct. 10.
Our division has been on the several
important fronts, so have been busy
all summer. Il get to see the papers
from home and see you are getting the
news OF our regiment. We are not al
lowed to tell you where we are, but the
papers have been quite accurate and
then you know what I have seen and
what battles we were in. notice that
Lieut. Col. Donahue is back in Minnea
polls and is telling you about us.
While have seen several balloons
and aeroplanes shot down, an incident
yesterday was the greatest because /
was so near. A balloon was shot down
within quarter Of mile from where
II was standing. The observers left
the basket in their parachutes few Sc
conds before the balloon caught afire.
The parachutes opened nicely, but the
burning balloon came. very nearly fall
ing. on them and their escape was mir
aculous. One Of them landed in a tree
near by, but was taken down with min
or injuries I have seen balloon as
tensions, at the State Fair, etc., but
never was that quite as exciting and
thrilling as scenes like this. You must
hand it to the aviators, who fly around
so high with shrapnel and high exp1o-
sives bursting all around and when in
q fight, one or two come tumbling down
from thousands Of feet. I have seen
and examined many wrecked planes on
the battlefelds Some of the boys have
sent home part Of the Iron Cross torn.
from wrecked German planes. For
a long time we carried seat from a
Boche plane. which we sawed off.
1 have several souvenirs such as
buttons, rings, knives. etc., but do not
like to send them. German rifles and
pistols are quite common. I have not
been fortunate enough to find one as
yet.
In one advance we made, 1 found
German kitchen, with 100 lbs. sack of
-four, which was made in Minneapolis,
80 lbs. Of sugar, all in good condition.
Also found lots Of this German black
bread. We brought back some good
ladies and large meat grinder. One.
German band is minus instruments and
music, so now we have lots Of fun, play
ing SHERMAN Band''. Violins, and
other string instruments also fell into
our hands and hope you can see some
of these things when we get back, as
we are trying to get them back with u.s.
I hope we can also send some Of the
captured German and Austrian cannon.
They will undoubtedly be divided be-
tween St. Paul and Minneapolis.
| A new order has come in that the
band will not be called out as stretcher
bearers, except in extreme necessity,
so you see we are kept we'll back of the
front line, mixed in with our heavies,
which keep booming away intermit-
tently. s..

THREE MEASURES AS OUTLINED BY. PRINCE OF BADEN
Must Fight Against World Disorder of Trotzky," Says
 Head of Baden Chamber.
HUNS THREATENED
 BY MORAL DISORDER
Refers to Lloyd George As the Premier Exponent of
 Knockout Militarism."

New York, March 23-Germany is threatened from Russia by a moral infection, says Prince Maximilian of Baden, in statement.
 German world order" must under take defense measures against Rus sian world disorder" according to the prince, who is heir to the throne of Baden and president of the Baden up- per chamber. In his statement he outlines three measures of defense against the Russian menace as fol- lows:
 First, Trotzky proclaims a world destiny which he desires to bring about. Against this some must fight with ideas. Certainly we are fight. ing for our existence and the possi- bllIties of our economic development.
 But the idea of self preservation, if unsupported, leaves large resources of human strength untouched. We must set against the world disorder of Trotzky, which destroys freedom, a world order which protects freedom. Germany may confidently avow that it comprises in it's national vii the hap piness and rights of other peoples.
 ''All great nations must strive for a world condition in which their name will be uttered with fear and hope wherever a wrong is done. In this respect Germany must not renounce the position of being a moral world factor. That would mean to strive for a renunciatory peace. "As a second defensive measure it is necessary to make our German or ganizations as sound and as capable of resistance as possible. A great mass of the German working people is fighting with a strong and sound l instinct against the attempt to weaken Germany's power of resistance. '"The third and most effective measure naturally would be peace. The key to the situation is in the hands of the Anglo-Saxon race. It is difficult to see clearly. The reports from America are of a contradictory character.
 q do not wish to anticipate the re- ply the chancellor will make to Pres ident Wilson. but I desire to point out that the president in his latest speech does not speak as a world judge. The | OullGu OldlSS udS IlO uSSlT0 LO 1ul6E- fere in the European affairs or to act as arbitrator in European controver- sies.
 America will readily acquiesce if il is made clear that the conditions pro- posed by it are not the best and most durable.''
 Prince Maximilian referred to Pre- mier Lloyd-George as the 'exponen' of knockout militarism'' and of the ''unmerciful will to destroy.'

are all overcome by Recupertahs. they are made after the formula of Dr. Albert Robin, the famous French physician, and are geing used very largely in Paris and other European capitals.
 When taken for a short while they will give positive relief in all cases of nervous exhaustion. mental depres- sion. lack of vitality, general debility, anemia, etc.
 The Glycerph osprates of which Re- cupertabs aar composed, contain the element necessary to overcome these conditions. They are now being pre- ecribed and recommended by many physicians in this and foreign eoun- tries as the best, quickes. and surest nerve and blood tonic that they know of.
 Recupertahs are for sale at all drug stores at soc and $1.0o per package or will be sent direct upon receipt of price.

NOTHING NEW IN
 GERMAN "KULTUR"

Every village they have passed through has been the victim of what is only organized pillage. Every city has been practically sacked, ransack- ed on system; its citizens .plundered, it's civil officials terrorized, impris- oned, outraged, or killed. The civil populations have been, contrary to the usage of modern warfare, forced to serve the invading armies, brutally put to death, reduced to wholesale starvation, and desolation. Vast tracts of the richest and most industrious districts of Europe have been deIib- erately stripped and plunged into famine, solely in order that the in- vaders might make war cheaply. IT, regular troops, contrary to all the practice of war, have been systemat- ically murdered, and civil populations indiscriminately massacred, solely to spread terror. A regular system of ingenious terrorism has been directed against civilians, as horrible as any thing in the history of civil or re- ligious wars. Large and populous cit ies have been, not once, but 20, 30. 40 times, bombarded and burned, and the women and children in them wan tonly slaughtered, with the sole object of inf1icting suffering. All this has been done not in license or passion, but by the calculating ferocity of scientific soldiers"
 The above was not written, though it might have been, yesterday, las: week, last month, or last year. 1t | appeared in the English Fortnightly Review, February, 1871, shortly be- | fore the surrender of Paris. Freder-
 ick Harrison, the writer, is still alive. Its statements were true then, are
 true now. Julius Caesar in his | Commentaries narrates events which
 show that even before the time of Christ the Germans demonstrated the possession of all of the rudiments of
 their modern "kultur." It is no new
 thing; and hundreds of thousands of men will have died in vain in this
 war if this sinister thing is not ab-
 solutely and utterly exterminated for ever by the forces of civilization ar rayed against it.
