Huns Ignorant Of Americas Part

an old burg. The only thing that is
new is their idea that the American
soldier is mighty easy to short
change, and the people are taking
advantage Of our ignorance. And we
sometimes take advantage of their
ignorance. For instance, we take
them about a dollars worth of laun-
dry and pay them about one franc
for doing it. But they are getting
wise to us, and are sure boosting
prices on us. When we first came
here we were on field rations, that
is bacon, beans, and hard tack. Well,
we went down town and started
buying bread. We bought up the
supply and the natives were going
hungry and we got next to the fact
that their supply was limited.
When | was at home I got some
training that has been very useful to
me here. That was riding in the
side-door Pullmans. We spent two
days and nights riding in said cars
here. They mark their box cars here
as follows, Hommes, 32-40; Che
vaux 8 en- long. They have no air
brakes in the country. The inscrip-
ton means that 80 men can lie down
in them, or 40 can sit in them Ours
was sufficiently crowded that we had
a hard time trying to sleep. But
comrade and myself rolled up in our
blankets and crawled under a bench
and slept quite comfortably.
There were some German prison
ers telling some of the boys that the
German soldiers did not know that
the Americans were fighting them

SATURDAY EVENING
Annual Home Concert Follows Most
Successful Tour in History of

The annual home concert by the
state College Glee club an event
looked forward to with pleasurable
anticipation each year for many
weeks in advance, will be given at
the college auditorium Saturday
evening Of this week The club re-
turned home the first of the week
from the most successful tour. from
the standpoint of both financial re-
turns and thoroughly satisfied audi
ences, in the history of the college.
The club gave concerts at Colfax.
Pomeroy Dayton, Fairfield, Walla
WaIla and Spokane, press reports
from each of the six places mention
ing in glowing terms the high class
of entertainment provided by the
State College songsters.
Typical of these press reports is
that published by the Spokesman
Review following the entertainment
in that city Saturday evening, which
was as follows:
The Washington State College Glee
club concert given last evening at
North Central high school drew
packed aud enthusiastic crowd 1t
was regular college evening aud
the heartiest applause was reserved
for topical mum bers which were tune
full aud catchy.
The program had plenty of variety.
Miss Hella Melcher has sweet, clear
voice of true soprano quality and
fleXibilty. She not only received an
encore for the jewel song, but scored
in the musical sketch, "The Girl and
the Sailor"
G. p. Robinson displayed a pleas
ing tone on the cello and consider
able technical facility He also re-
ceived an encore for his groupe.
Mae Hurst, besides being the indie
fatigable accompanist gave piano
solo with much pianistlc skill
The varsity quartet, Messrs.
Hanley Quick, Matthews aud Egge,
proved themselves prime favorites
and were recalled again and again.
The Glee Club was encored several
times for a Wagner chorus aud
"Ciribiribin." The trio for piano.

hit in gems from Miss Bob White"
The principals in the musical sketch
were Miss Melcher, Ralph Wilson
aud Eric Egge.
. The evenings program was under
the direction of Mrs. Kuria Strong
with Mark PLY as stage manager.

BIG Y. ". c. A. DRIVE
STARTS NEXT MONDAY
Pullman's Quota OF Five Million Dol
lar Fund Is $70O-Women VIII
Make Solicitations Through
Homes

The drive to raise Pullman's quota
OF the IS, O00,000SY. w. c. A. war
work fund will be started next Mon
day with a house to house solicita-
ton in charge of the local women's
committee of the council of defense.
Pullman's quota is $500. The OBJ
jects of the drive and the uses to
which the funds will be put were ex-
planned to the citizens of Pullman
at the chamber of commerce meeting
last Tuesday by Mrs. J. r. Stephen
son. The principal object of the
campaign is to raise funds to assist
in caring for the girls who replace
men in the various industries as a
result of the war, both at home and
in Europe. These girls must be we'll
fed, we'll clothed and provided with
healthful and wholesome environ
ment in order to maintain their eff
ficiency, and this work will be I'M
dertaken by the Y. w. G.. A. One
fifth of the fund will be expended in
Europe in the interests of the girls
who are employed in the munitions
factories, the same sum being appor-
toned for work of the same nature
at home, especially in the cities
where many women have replaced
the men who have been called to
war.
A part of the fund will be spent
for the maintenance of hostess
houses at the various cantonments
and camps, and some will be eXpend-
ed in the interests of the foreign
women who have come to America
in great numbers since the war start
ed. These women are not accus-
toned to our laws, customs or ideals,
and to help them learn these things,
thus placing them in better position
to care for themselves. is one of the
objects of the Y. w. c. A. Nurses
employed in war work will also re-
ceive consideration at the hands Of
the Y. w. C. A. and a part of the
funds will also be used to further
the work of the women's patriotic
league, a big Sister" movement de-
signed to assist in saving girls from
men and soldiers from girls.

and that only few officers knew it.
and those officers told the soldiers
that the Americans were English in
disguise, They said that when the
Germans found that the American
troops were really opposing them,
they would throw down their arms
and surrender. The prisoners said
that all they had to eat in the Ger
man army was a couple of slices of
bacon and two hard tacks for two
days rations. They said that the
people of Germany were fed much
less than they were, so the people
must be nearly starving. You can
rely pretty well on what these pris-
oners say, when you know how they
are guarded. There are about 300
prisoners and three guards guarding
them, and they are not needed, as
they said you could not drive the
Germans away.
Well, if what the Bible says is
true, and it undoubtedly is, this war
will end with the big spring drive
which is being planned. You know
the Bible says the war will end in
~ months, and that takes it up into
the coming spring. SO we may be
able to celebrate next Christmas at
home instead of on the ocean.
Well, Mother, | suppose you feel
quite bit older. now that you have
had birthday, but never mind, for
by the time you get this letter Ernest
and | will both be a year older
Don't worry about Ernie and me. We
are well cared for and are comfort
ably settled in good French camps,
so we will do nicely. The worst of
the cold weather is over, so we will
soon be having plenty of outdoor ex-
ercise and everything we could ask
for.
Lovingly,

All Plans of Campaign Based on
Probability of Russia's Disarma-
ment, Says Major ii. W. Pat
ton of Hoquiam

That the withdrawal of the Rus
sian troops from the European battle
fronts as a result of the determine
tion of Russia to quit the war will
cause no changes in the program be-
ing mapped out by the allies was the
cheering news brought to Pullman
Tuesday by Major H. w. Patton of
Hoquiam who accompanied the con-
gressional delegation to France,
England ana Belgium. Major Pat
ton delivered three interesting ad-
dresses during the day, speaking
first to the students of the State Col
lege, then TO the citizens of Pullman
con, and later to the Twentieth Cen
fury club, under whose auspices he
came to Pullman.
Russia's action was predicted by
the allies months ago, according to
Major Patton, and all plans for ac-
ton this spring have been made
with the probability of her retire
ment in view. "Russia's exit from
the fray will make no difference in
France" he said, so far as present
plans are concerned, and should not
make any difference in America"
Major Patton predicted that the
war will last two years longer, bas-
ing his belief on the opinion of the
| allied army officials in France
They believe" he said, and that
belief seems correct, that it will be
a full year at least before America
has reached her full fighting zenith
Then another year, with America and
the other allies fully equipped and
determined, will drive the German
| army from France back to German
soil, and Germany will be forced tc
accept peace terms entirely satisfact.
DRY to the allied peoples.
For years and years Germany has
| been toasting the day when she shall
have conquered the world. Unless
our victory is complete and decisive
she will continue to toast that day
true, farther remote than she had
hoped, but 20 to 25 years would find
her waging this war again, with the
same object in view" In substantial
| ton of this statement Major Patton
/ pointed to the extreme methods en-
ployed by Germany to increase her
population, thus providing an ade-
quate fighting force a quarter of a
century hence. He mentioned the
fact that the children born of
French and Belgian women, of Ger
man fathers, are being taken and will
be reared as Germans, never to know
that they are half French or half
Belgian. The German government,
he said, is also buying children of

HAS RECEIPT FOR
1879PERSONAL TAXES
Charles Il. MOys, Pioneer, Paid
County Three Dollars on Three
Horses and One Cow

It's for only three dollars, and in
dimensions only about one-one-hun-
dredth the size of the modern tax re-
ceipts, but it represents the taxes
paid by Charles R. Moys for 1879 on
his meagre personal holdings at that
time and is treasured by that sturdy
pioneer as proof positive of the fact
that abundant capital is not so neces-
sary to a successful farming career in
the Palouse country as determine
ton, application and hard work. The
miniature tax receipt measures only
one by three inches in size, while the
receipts issued to taxpayers today
are almost as large as a metropolitan
newspaper, and usually represent
pawn ent of many times three dollars.
Mr.. Moys came to Whitman county
on August Is, 1878, homesteading
80 acres near Almota. Later ne was
permitted to add another 80 acres to
his holdings through the liberality of
newly adopted national homestead
laws. He was practically without
funds, and when he paid his first per-
sonal taxes, on February 8, 1880, he
handed to Thos. Kennedy, then
county treasurer, three silver dollars,
y nich he had received for butter an1
eggs carried to market in basket
His live stock holdings totaled three
cayuses and one COW, and the three
dollars represented the tax against
these animals, his only personal
possessions of consequence. Wash
ington was then a territory and dol
lars in Whitman county were about
as hard to get as hundred-dollar bills
now.
Mr.. Moys still has in his possession
every tax receipt issued to him dur
ing the 80 years he has farmed west
OF Pullman, and those receipts, taken
in sequence, tell mute but vivid
story of the triumph, step by step, of
industry and determination over
hardship and penury
Mr.. Moys continues to farm the
original 100 acres. but he has many
more acres with it now, and the three
cayuses and one COW that he treas
ured 38 years ago as his only per
sonal property would not be missed
from the we'll equipped farm plant
which le now operates. He has
earned mis- competence despite many
obstac ,, yet his sturdy health OF
today n he face of burden OF
years thar would leave many men
stopped and feeble, stands as a fit
ting monument to life that repre-
sents right living, fair dealing and
thrift

the male sex, paying a stipulated
price, and rearing them as German
subjects.
We must make it decisive if we
expect our children and our grand
children to live in peace and free
DOM" he said.
Speaking of the extreme loyalty of
the French and English people, Major
Patton stated that the former
wealthy citizens are broke" and
that the working classes are now
supporting the war and doing it will
lngly. He mentioned one French
soldier with whom he came in con-
tact who before the war commanded
a salary of $4,000. a year in New
York city. Now he is a soldier of
France at seven cents a day, and
proud of it.
Major Patton explained the liquor
laws of France and England, stating
that in England liquor may be pur-
chased only between 1900 and 200
o'clock in the afternoon, and between
$50 and 500 at night. In France
the wine shops are permitted to re-
main open all day, but the same re-
strictions are placed on the sale of
strong drink as in England
That the airplane will never prove
the factor in winning the war that
many people think was the opinion
youched by Major Patton. The
armies of the allies would rather
have one ridge, behind which to
plant their big guns, than a thou
sand airplanes," he said. Il believe
that this war will be won with cold
steel and not with airplanes. The
Hun soldier seems willing to stand
up under machine gun fire, either
! from solid earth or airplanes, but he
cant stand the flash of bayonet
, steel, and there's the way the war
may be won"
Major Patton says the American
people pay too much attention to the
reports of strikes in Germany, and
rely too much on internal trouble in
Germany to end the war. Those
strikes are just like the |. w. w
strikes we have here, and the worst
of them we quoted with a hundred
old Springfields, he said. I'VE
don't want, Germany to whip herself,
anyway. Our Job is to do it for them
and do it right"
The speaker paid a glowing tribute
to the American soldiers who are on
French soil and said that they are
surrounded by the best of moral con-
ditions. 'No mother need fell alarm
for the moral safety of her son over
there; he is given every protection"
said the Hoquiam newspaper man.
Transportation facilities behind
the allied lines are all that could be
desired, according to Major Patton.
England can move troops from her
island across the channel to the
French front in six hours. Twenty
