more.

Os
To the Beaver Herald:
write you these few lines to let
you know we arrived in camp all
o. X. There were 1856 on the train
coming down. We landed here about
$3.50 on April 9th. After we were
assigned to our company, we were
given our mess kits and two army
blankets. then we were taken to our
nights rest. which we all enjoyed
very much for none of us had slept
much since we started.
The next morning the bugle blowed
at o'clock and we all had to be
dressed ready for breakfast In 15
minutes. That day we were all taken
down to the woodpile and brought
back load Of wood for our meals
to be cooked with, and that was
about all we had to do that day.
Then on Monday we were vaccinated
for smallpox and typhoid fever.
Some of the boys were awful sick but
were all right in a short time. Some
Of us have to go back next week and
be vaccinated again as the vaccina-
tion didn't take on all. We are
under quarantine now and can't &c
anywhere yet, except around the bar
racks. After quarantine we will be
assigned to different companies.
There are several of the Beaver
| county boys here and a good many
| that were here have been transferred
to other camps. They have beer
coming in every day. When the camT
is full there will be about 10000
and from the looks OF things It will
soon be full.
AS I haven't much time to write
will ring off for this time, wishing
all my Beaver county friends the best
Of success, l am

BETHANY BRANCH SAYS THEY
WILL DISPROVE STATEMENTS

The people OF the Bethany Red
Cross Branch community, many OF
whom have German on their tongue
but not In their heart" to use the
expression Of their pastor, Rev. Fred
Just, are showing much interest in
Red Cross work. They feel that their
community has suffered because Of
erroneous reports which have been
made to the effect that many were
not loyal, and they are anxious to
show that they are Americans now
and, while opposed to war religious
ly, are more than anxious to work
with the Red Cross, that great Or
ganization OF mercy. Miss Erma
Crabtree and Mrs. j. w. Culwell in
structed the workers OF that branch
in the making Of hospital garments
this week.

anyway, there was no discussion of 1t. However, some other amendments were made. By one of these the ad- ministration is limited exclusively to the substances named, and by an other there may be no requisitioning of ores or metals the principal money value of which consists in minerals or metals other than those named in the act.
 A rather unfortunate amendment is that which prevents the President from selling anything for less than the purchase price or production cost. With such a stipulation, the Secretan syndicate in copper of 30 years ago would have been great many years in liquidation. We can imagine the plight of the government if 1t be over bought in ferromanganese, tin, and some other things being unable to get out, even at small sacrifice, while the going is good.
 Another amendment provides for headquarters and offices for the ad- ministrative forces west of the Miss, ouri river. And. finally. one limits or like services rendered in executive departments of the government
 With these amendments. the bill passed the senate after rather per functory debate. and it now goes into conference. Further comment may well be deferred until the bill takes its finally form. Engineering and Min ing Journal.
