Yours truly, Mrs. Laura Myers.

Sept. Zl, 1S1O. Dear mother :-I received your letter to day and sure was glad to hear from you. 1 just wrote you yesterday and don't know much to write. l am at a Bap- tist Church, tonight, at social. There are lots of girls here. You ask me if the Y. M 0. A. people are Catholic. No; they are not Most of them are Baptists-some Methodists and other denomina- tions. The R. .. Knights of Columbus is Catholic, but 1 have only been to one meeting and 1t was at Jefferson Barracks. 1 don't care anything about visiting such churches. l saw the Priest trying to get the boys to come to confession, but 1 thought l had rather make con, fession to the Lord, instead of a man. XXX.
 Your loving son,

UNSlNKABLE SHIP FOR U. s.
Naval Advisor Declares New Inven. tion Will Defy German
 Submarines.

New York, Feb. 13.-Means have been found to make troop transports unsuitable by submarine, according to statement made by William L.. Saunders, vice chairman of the naval consulting board, in an address at a dinner of the University of Pennsyl- vana alumni in this city.
 Mir. Saunders said that one of the ships recently communicated by the government "now lies at an Atlantic port and in such shape that she cannot be sunk by an exploding torpedo"
 q can conceive of no reason why this information should be withheld" he added. "On the contrary, 1 believe, 1t is well that the enemy may come to realize that the time has been reached when American transports which that enemy cannot sink are ready for the transportation of our troops. This ship may have hole thirty or forty feet in diameter blown in her side and she will remain afioat Such a hole would waterlog but one tenth of the honeycombed alright cells"
 Mir. Saunders described in detail the plan to keep ships afioat after they had been torpedoed and the manner in which 1t had been developed by Will liam F. Donnelly, a New York marine engineer, working under authorization of the naval consulting board. 1t is understood that the unsuitable | ship has no fewer than 12.000 airtight | cells.
 "Of course it will take some time to equip similarly the large number of | transports we have" continued MT | Saunders. "It is my belief, however that nothing will be left undone by the administration to safeguard the lives of large troop contingents to be moved across the Atlantic"
 Secretary Baker has insisted before the senate committee that 1,50G,0G American troops could be taken to France and kept supplied during 1918. 1 His replies to the questions as to where the tonnage for the task was to come from have indicated that there was some information at hand which he did not care to disclose.

credited. of the balance of power; but that.
 B. Every territorial settlement in volved ill this war must be made in the interest and for the benefit of the popu- lations concerned and not as a part of any adjustment or compromise of claims among rival states; and
 '4. That all well-defined national as pirations shall be accorded the utmost satisfaction that can be accorded them without introducing new or perpetuat- 1 ing old clements of discord and an- tagonism that would be likely in time to break the peace of Europe and con l sequently of the world.
 Autocracy Sole Bar to Peace. "A general peace erected on such foundations can be discussed. Until such peace can be secured we have no choice but to go on. So far as we can judge these principles that we re gard as fundamental are already every where accepted as imperative except among the spokesmen of the military and anneXationist party in Germany If they have anywhere else been re- jected, the objectors have not been sufficiently numerous or influential to make their voices audible. The trag- ical circumstance is that this one party in Germany is apparently willing and able to send millions of men to their death to prevent what all the world now sees to be just.
 "I would not be a true spokesman of the people of the United States if l did not say once more that we entered this war upon no small occasion and that we never can turn back from q course chosen upon principle. Our re- sources are in part moblized now and We shall not pause until they are mo- bilized in their entirety. Our armies are rapidly going to the fighting front and will ge more and more rapidly. Our whole strength will be put into l this war of cipation-emancipa 1 ton from the threat and attempted mastery of selfish groups of autocratic rulers-whatever the difficulties and 1 present partial delays.
 American Will Not Turn Back.
 We are indomitable in our power of independent action and can in no circumstance consent to live in a world governed by intrigue and force. We believe that our own desire for new international order under which req son and justice and the common inter- eStS of mankind shall prevail is the desire of enlightened men everywhere. Without that new order the world will be without peace and human life will lack tolerabIe conditions of existence and development. Having set our hand to the task of achieving It we shall not turn back.
 "f hope that it is not necessary for me to add that no word of what 1 have said is intended as a threat That is not the temper of our people. l have spoken thus only that the whole world may know the true spirit of know that our passion for justice and for self-government is no mere passion of words, but a passion which, once set in action, must be satisfied.
 "The power of the United States is menace to no nation or people. It will never be used in aggression or for the aggrandiZement of any selfish in- terest ot our own. It springs out of freedom and is for the service of free dom."

What we are striving for is new interna- tiOnal order based upon broad and uni versal principles of right and justice no mere peace of shreds and patches.

Has he utterly for gotten the reichstag resolutions of the 18th of July, or does he deliberately ignore them?
