Of greater importance. I am only glad,
we walloped the huns without, wipins
Germany off the map sinse now, there
are enough left to, pay the bill.
The war was importtent but, as We
know All Mighty God rules the world we
all ways could know, that the huns could
never win so, it was nothing TO get very
exited about though, many people were
and, in fact was my own self until, I
stopped to think. It is very plessent how
ever when We have, done our duty, ike
you and I have to know that we have
plaid our part to, a finnish.
So now I suppose they will not, need you
in Europe much longer Uncle Bill and,
you will soon be coming home, well you
will find things here much different in
many ways yet, you Will still know it is
America and, I guess it will seem pretty
good after, being in those savvidge loren
lands so long.
So Sammy Jones SAYS no use getting up
at six if, you waist forty minnits or SO
between, and 8 and, I am loosing no
time in attending to- Aunt Mary and the
Dukes affare for, it is great risponsssbil-
atty and wish, to get threw. When it
comes to, falling in love Or, being a girl
or, getting up before daylight Sammy
Jones, says don't and all so don't try to
but in if, some one elise does these things
for, its there own business but if, you
once horn Id why, stick until the job is
done and, it will teach you better next
time, this time do it quick. But never
again Uncle Bill viii try to, mannidge
some other persons Low afrares il is, to
much risk with, to little to gain.
So l made up my mind, quick finnish
and, said to Dad. Dad want, to talk
TO you about, something of exstream, yes
treemendus Impotence. So he said shoot

and. carried on.
You should aught to, get married I said
and, he said who'd take a guy like me

might tare me to pieces but, with my die
ing breath still would stay what, a pare
of fools they each try to say what the
other, thinks instead Of each saying, what
he thinks and getting, together like sensa-
bic persons.
Well Uncle Bill it hit him hard and,
he put his face in his hands and he did
ent, say an other word.
So said well now Duke speaking, az

DEAR UNCLE BILL: For some
- time I have not wrote you, any
thing about the Coppral and Aunt Mary,
well Uncle Bill this is what Sammy Jones
says, love may be contajuss but, some
folks must of been innockullated young
for such pair of imune spessamins you
never did see, they would not catch the
flew if, they lived in a wet celIer or love if
they were angels.
But, Sammy Jones says when the path,
takes a turn you better, go with it there's
pretty sure to be, something in the way,
If you go straight. So l Just let EN- 90
and go with EN- hoping, some day they
Will get together for, if two soIes was
ever meant to beat as one its them and l
would, sure like to have an other Soldier
IN the Famaly and a wounded Vet is, most
desirable. All so if, Aunt Mary went to
live somewhere that she could be- Just as
happy as hare there would, be less inter-
terrence with my various proiecks. She
is most kind but if, fathers and mothers
can't al ways understand, what kids are
doing you see, aunts are still less fortnit.
After having try with Aunt Mary as
L have, all ready wrote you, got up my
courage to try a raid on the CoperaP
trenches. So it was sunny afternoon
and, Che other guys were going to watch
the sato have, sham battle but said 1
was 50 busy to 60 and, they were in such
a hurry they dident even stop to argew
but, went ON saying, your a dead one and
aught to be buried which, was to dig
naffied to notise and beside you have to
saccrafse your self some times to do good
unto others so said, nothing.
seen mean saw for, never get that
right the first time the Coarparel setting
out, On the porch it was a nice warm
afternoon so, went over and said how
you making out Duke and, he said fine
boy fine but seen, saw he was sort of
blew-at that so, I thought maybe he was
wishing he could have slice, Of the glory
at the end of the game when, our Boys do
a Snake Dance in Berlin. So 1 said well
Duke it Will, soon be over over there
wont 1t.
Now I was sneaking through Nomans
Land you see and, getting toward the
dukes trenches and, says he their pretty
near done with the dirty work and, get
ting ready for the Grand Finally which
he said /, will not be on hand for to get
my bit Of the JOY, its hard he says, to be
laid up on the shelf but said well Duke
you done that is did your part and, you
issen to what Sammy Jones says, he SAYS
don't say you'll do your bit if, you loose a
Leg, and then, be growtchy because a
man, without a leg cant keep up with the
procession that he helped 10 get agoing
and he says you don't mean it but, that's
rough talk Sammy Boy and no says I,
it isn't duke its straight talk and, that's
the only kind Of talk, for men and, you

PEACE DELEGATES NARROWED DOWN
 TO THREE PEOPLE
President Will Not Name Them Publicly, but Allows It to Become Known His Selection Made
(by Review Leased Wire1


 WASHINGTON, Nov. 2S.-The i'm pression is growing among those who have talked with President Wilson about the peace conference that the American delegation will be limited to three members, and speculative over the personnel has about narrowed down to these names: Robert Lanss- ing, secretary Of state; Henry White, to France and to Italy un- der the Mckinley administration; Col. E. NJ. House
 There has been no announcement and there may be none before the president addresses congress next week. but it was said tonight White House callers had been given to un- derstand that these men would be the enVoys. It also was indicat- ed very definitely that reports of the president having decided to sit at the peace table himself as a delegate were untrue. He goes to take part in the great preliminary meetings of the heads of the associated governments and to see the formal conference ,un- der way, but not to serve as a dele gate fItf
 In addition to the accredited dele gates there will be a large party. in- cluding besides the military, naval, and economic experts, oth- CT specialists in the multitudinous questions to be dealt with Among them will be men of high rank, pre- pared to participate in discussions that Will take place outside of the formal conference and in position be- low only the accredited delegates, who. it is assumed, will take ambas- rank.
 The exact time of the presidents sailing for Europe apparently still is unknown to anyone except the presi- dent himself He is expected to leave the day after he addresses the new session of congress, beginning Mon day, and the address usually is de. livered the second day of the session.

CRy Review I.eased virel

SACRAMENTO. Calif., Nov. 2s.- Gov. Wm. D. Stephens eommuted to- night to life Imprisonment the sen tence of death imposed on Thomas J. Mooney for murder growing out of the preparedness day bomb explosion in San Francisco on July 22. 1918. when ten persons were killed and forty oth- CTS injured. In a lengthy statement given to the public outlining his req sons for committing the sentence, Gov ernor Stephens said Moneys case largely paralleled that of Warren k- Billings, another bomb case defendant who is serving a life sentence in the Folsom. California, penitentiary.
 The governor said there were cer- tain features connected with the case which convinced him that the sen tence of death should not be executed. For this reason, and because of the earnest request" of President Wilson tor communication, he did not believe that the extreme penalty should be paid. Governor Stephens said be ae- eepted full responsibility for the wis dom and justification for the action"
 In reviewing the case. Governor  Stephens said his action was taken after d painstaking survey of the evi- dence produced at Moneys trial. but because of certain new develop ments following the conviction" which could not be considered by the state supreme court, to which the case had been appealed. he found justification for setting aside the death sentence
 "In arriving at this conclusion" the governor continued, '1 have exer- cised that caution which must be ob- served in weighing evidence present ed outside of established legal pro cedure By communication to life impris- onment Moneys case will be in the same status as that of Warren K. Bill ings. who was convicted of the same crime and received a sentence to life imprisonment"
 In giving the announcement of the decision to the Associated Press. his private secretary. Martin Madsen. said that the communication was signed early this evening. but that further than the governors writ
