Robert Foote Of 223 West Catlin

a recent letter from his son. Private
Don. c. Foote. Of the American ex-
peditionary forces In France. In which
he relates some Of his experiences In
the hospital while recovering from
the effects of gas attack by the
enemy. His message follows:
MY dear Dad:
Here / am in the hospital. I just
got out Of bed today. Was gnssed on
the verdon front over q week ago. I
spent twelve Of che worst -,aays sp
there that ever expect to spend Lots
OF gas every day and plenty OF high
explosive shells. I pulled through
without wounds but the gas got me
at last I'm feeling some better now
although am quite weak and It tires
me to move about much.
"Frenchmen are liking up electric

How are you these days? How
are the Canonitesf- Hope Glen IL well.
I'm hoping pull through this without
anything else setting in. I need good
long rest and probably will get It.
probably will not stay here long as
most of the gas patients are sent TO
convalescent camps and some back to
the front. II all depends ON your con-
dition when going before the examin-
ing board.
II am sure sorry didn't get to write
before now, but didn't have time At
the front or here before now. It was
. sad period for boys up At the front.
One consolation Is that am alive and
lucky not to be in any worse flx than
l am. and another Is that I've got rid Of
the "cooties."

BOches' Tell
 of Yankees BarbariSrnS

With the American Armies, Oct. 26. -German officers are now telling their soldiers that all German prison- CTS taken by the United States troops have their heads cut off when tkaen to the rear. The obvious purpose of this is to prevent the men from giving themselves up voluntarily to the Americans, as hundreds of them have lately done.
 Sitting in an American field hos pital today were two young German prisoners who had been brought in by Brooklyn sergeant, a lad of Cnly 20. One was slightly wound ed. The other was sobbing and pleading with the surgeon to save him from having his head cut off, which he said he understood from ydis ccmmanding officer would be his fate.
 The doctor assured the frightened German that the Americans were not quite as savage as all that; but the prisoner was still trembling and grieving as he was led to the rear of the American line by corporal.

WATERS IN ENGLAND MUST
 HAVE VISITED AMERICA

London, Oct. 26.-London walters have been added to the long list of war prpfiteers and their medium for gouging is the food coupon. Un- less one carefully watches his cou- pon book he will lose enough of the precious tickets at one meal to last him for week.
 Most restaurant arrangements have a rule that then waiter cannot remove a meat coupon it must be done by tho cashier-and the coupons will not be accepted if clipped by the customer. Very few cashiers take too many coupons but they disappear during the trip Of the waiter from tho customer to the cashier
 The stolen coupons are used, to extract tips from strangers who have not been in town long enough to get coupon book. Meat is or dered by thte stranger, the coupns demanded, the lack of coupons ex- plained and then comes hint that it may be arranged without the coupon, If the tip is satisfactory, the meat is produced. The stranger and the waiter profit by the theft from the permanent resident.
