Dear Mother and All: At last
we have safely arrived over seas
without any unusual incident. Had
of rough days and wasn't sea sick
for a minute. | didn't get any mail
at Sydney at all SO l haven't had a
letter for almost two months. Where
is John and Emmett and have they
sailed yet or not? The last time
John wrote he expected to sail most
any ti%e Hoy How does 70 s. h Raym i6ad
called him before this? l hope he
doesn't have to go and maybe he
won't for the papers read like it
would be settled before another
year and everyone hopes that the
super men, will be properly trim
med before that time. If there is
any first class mail comes for me be
your letter to me. Also tell me if
you have to pay postage on this let
ter for l haven't penny to pay the
postage and don't know when ] will
be paid again for they robbed me Of
everything and what money | had
while l was in the hospital at
sydney Have you heard anything
and have any of Jim Daughton's or
Dennis Mullins boys gone yet? l
suppose they are husking corn by
this time How were the crops this
year, etc. and how is grandmother?
Tell her l will write to her as soon
as l have time. There are a great
many things to write but l expect
the censor would blot it SO it will
have to wait. Did you get two cards
saying l had arrived overseas and if
so, when did they get there? There
is sure lots of water between here
and the U. S. and it sure seems to
take lots of water to run a first
class ocean. Must close for now.
Write at once and tell me all the
news, etc, and don't wait for an
answer but write often and l will do
likewise. Love to all. Your son,
Leonard Mullin.

ter We gave the Fritz big shove.
and IL, dipping my pen in German
q good ole on the Fritz We found
pistols, kli ives, belts, paper, pen
ellis, candles and lots Of other stuff
too numerous to mention. got
about - bells to sell to the fellows
on an averag, of / 5 francs each and
that will make me $50 francs or $36.
How is that for one day? Yes and
here are some pictures one of the
fellows found. I'm sending to you
so you can see low they look. The
belts around over their coats are the
kind we found. Two of the buckles
were brass, will BRING it home. I'm
sending home a camouflage Ger
man helmet. l didn't have enough
stamps but you can pay at the 9th
er end, cents, | believe. We
haven't had any mail for few days
so look for letter from you soon.
I just keep writing any way Wheth-
er l get mail or not. Another
thing ! nearly forgot to- ten aom you os!
through the other morning, lots OF
the guys went right up and robbed
them of their watches SO | bought
dandy six ruby with gold hands.
They all have little case that pro-
tects them from being magnetlzed
and from hard knocks, etc. 1t is
keeping time with my gold one right
on the minute. They also have
swell silver charms too. Well
mother l am so tickled this morning
can hardly write, It's just, like a
Christmas around here, ha, ha. If
l were home today l would talk SO
much you would never have a
chance to say word. But think
shall never forget some Of the
sights that I've seen. Well, I've got
to heat up some water and take
good shave after scouting around in

Somewhere in France September
IS, 1918.
Dear father and mother: 1t has
been quite awhile since l could
write to you, ~. on account of past
and present conditions, but am try
ing to write you enough to let you
while lodging bullets and sharpnel
for we have had plenty lately.
Sherman was right when he said
war is hell for the shells make an
awful scream and they sound like
they are all coming right at you,
and the big explosion and scream
of big pieces Of shell flying in every
direction afterwards, and those ma
chine gun bullets from the areo-
planes keep us fellow guessing
bullets and sharpnel and gass is a
worse hell to the Germans. for they
sure are getting "booco' (lots.)
Our big drive sure was brilliant
success but. one that has not been
in such battle can never imagine
The dead bodies Of both men and
horses torn and covered with blood,
still that is not SO bad as to see a
wounded American lying on the
of his side torn out by sharpnel and
all covered with blood. TO pass
over the captured ground here one
could not imagine how it was poss-
IDLE for a human being to get over
the top and capture such strongly
fortified positions, but it was done
and done quickly by surprise. Well
SO much for war. We have done
lots of hiking before we arrived at
the front a week ago, and we had
no opportunity to write for some
time back. l am all right at pre-
sent and am standing the strain
and shock of shells much better
than lots Of the boys. Several are
nervous for it is our first time in a
drive. Don't be worried if you
do not hear from me for two or
three weeks at time now. for we
are apt to spring more surprises on
Fritz. Many prisoners wore big
smiles seemingly tickled to death to
be taken prisoners but there has
been many instances Of devilish
tricks from them. They are bar
barous and cowardly. They will
kill as long as they think their life
is safe but when hard pushed it is

Dear, Mother and Folks: will
try and write you to let you know
how am and q little about our trip:
Camp Beauregard, Louisiana, Friday
night, November LIST, and went to
New Orleans. We had to cross the
Mississippi river on ferry boat.
Went up Red river for or 8 miles.
We lost one coach of boys there. A
passenger train picked them up and
they caught us the next day at noon.
New Orleans is a real nice place.
We saw some real large ships there:
Louisiana is a swampy country. l
saw thousands of acres of sugar cane:
You see one real nice house and
then lot of negro quarters. We
went through since we left Iowa, 16
states. Mississippi is a swampy
country too. We crossed Lake Mis-
wide, lots of water. Carolina and
Virginia are very rough countries
too. Crossed the mountains and saw
the Blue Ridge mountains. Jersey

Dear mother: I received your
card you wrote while at the fair
yesterday. We are back of the
lines on a rest now. How long we
were shelled by the Germans the
night we left. The shrapnel shells
that burst over our heads sure
sung a tune as it flew into the
ground beside and all around us.
The Boche seemed to know troops
were moving up the road for they
followed us several miles with
their shrapnel shells from a long
range gun. Yes ! am with the
to in the States and our division
have won a name for ourselves too.
Yesterday was the first time in
about 81 months that l have had
the opportunity to 60 into Y. NJ.
G. A.. Our chaplain could get most
anything we wanted in limited
amounts, except candies and gum.
1t is almost impossible to get and
candy any more it seems.
We have been to three different
fronts SO far: The last you have
Note the war news about the big
American drive the 18th Of last

lowing and you will no doubt note
where was, and what was &C
cOmplished. There has not been SO
very many casualties in our regi-
ment as yet. Though it is a miracle.
were not gozens killed. l tore my
other one in making barb wire en-
tanglements and running through
it to get into shell holes to dodge
machine gun bullets from aero
planes and shrapnel shells. The
blouse was full of blood but wash
ed it in a shell hole of water. One
thing we boys hate almost as bad
as shrapnel that is gas alarms
which are quite frequent but they
are no doubt far more frequent for
Fritz for we sure have been giving
him particular h.. Gilbert, Fred
and ! have gone through SO fer
without SO much AZ q scratch from
Fritz hand, but Of course 1t does
not pay to boast yet.
Co. f. has the credit of downing
an aer0plane and killing the Boche
aviator. It sure Is run to shoot ut
the aer0planes when they are low
and q company of men stand Z
good chance Of putting one down
when they all fire 1T him.
Hope you are getting along O. K.

placed with one reading United States Railroad Administration Office" blue print Of which will be shortly recelNcd. These signs all over the United States will be of precisely the same style. They will be as uniform and distinctive and prevalent as the signs of the Western nion or the legend, Cream Of Wheat"
 The directions accompanying the or der Of consolidation are very minute. They prescribed even the telephone number of the consolidated office, 43lf, listed as follows:
 (a) United States Railroad Admin istraton Ticket office.
 tbl Railroad Ticket Office, United States Railroad Administration.
 Co Ticket Office, United States Railroad Administration
 Phoenix is Fortunate
 Phoenix has been fortunate in secur- ing m uptown office. It was rather more than had been expected, and i probably would not have been allowed but for the personal acquaintance of Director W. C. McAdoo with local con- dtons.
 It was brought to his special atten- tion. If it had been left to the com mittcc which usually decides such mat ters. it would almost certainly have been denied. The committee would have ascertaincd that the depots of the two roads are within a few steps i of one another; but it would not likely l have inquired into the inadequacy ot l facilities at either depot. Fl Paso i though much larger than Phoenix, and more of a railroad center, had great difficulty in securing an uptown office.
 The delay of a week in the consoli- dation since the order was received was occasioned by the necessity O checking the two offices out and into the consolidated office Accountants O both roads have been busy and theil work is now complete.

 NO CHANGE IN CONDITION - Contrary to the prevailing impression. there has been no modification of the flour restriction regulation of United States food administration, says MT. Miclde of the Arizona Grocery. The consumer is still required to buy pound for pound of substitute for all flour purchased. Large proposed increases in the army will require the strctcst maintenance of the regulation This also applies to the sugar outlook, and even greater restrictions are probable.

After a three months search over the western states Jack w. Worth ington, wanted in Phoenix on forgery charge, was arrested yester- day in Salt Lake City. Deputy Sheriff Charles Nafziger left last night to ret him.
 Warrington was formerly en- pIoyed by the Goldman Grocery company as salesman. Three months ago he left, taking with him a number of blank bank checks of the Goldman company. He went 10 Los Angeles from here and is charged with having forged cheeks for approximately $500.
 Worthington was traced by the sheriffs office, the work being un- der the direction of Lyman laTou- rette, under sheriff. While LaTou- rette was in Los Angeles recently he received in formation that led to Worthington's arrest in Salt Lake City yesterday.
