BELGIAN SHIP IS
 SUNK BY A SUB

WASHINGTON, D. C., July D. The Belgian ship Chillier was sunk off the Atlantic coast on June 21. It is reported that the cause was torpedo sent by submarine. The distance was about 1,4O0 miles, which is rather far out for a submarine to be working, and has led the au- thorities to believe that the fatal missile was fired by submarine on its return voyage to Germany after having been active in Ameri- can waters. Twenty-Five survivors were rescued by sailing vessel which was met not long after the sinking.

 ABOUT GERMAN
 U-B0AT POLICIES

LONDON, July 2.-Newspapers say that the sinking of hospital ships by the Germans is not accidental. Recent events have placed beyond any question of doubt the deliber- ate adoption of hospital ship sink ing policy. The sinking of the Brit ish hospital ship Landover Castle has been the most deliberate and unwarranted act possible. The Ger man submarine commander said that he fired the torpedo because the ship carried eight American officers This is fiatly denied by the British authorities and is characterized as lie.

CHATAUQUA HERE

The Redpath- Horner Chatau- qua is here. The program this year is a real strong one. The first day was one that the people of Prescott enjoyed. opened by the American Girls who enter tained the vast audience for one hour and half with vocal and in- strumental music. At night Brooks Fletcher delivered his lecture, "The Martyrdom of Fools" :" He held his audience almost spell bound for nearly two hours and we heard of no one complaining of being tired or bored. Fletcher IS great. He is practical and brings matters home to the hearers that will do them good in time to come.
 The program for the balance of the week is strong. and every body wants to hear Robt. L Finch who IS just back from France and Adrian Newens, who has been here before and with his Message from Mars" caught the entire town. At tend the Chautauqua.

CARL MUNN CON-
 GRATULATES EDITOR

We received a letter from Carl Mum, our opponent in the pri- mary, congratulating us on our nomination, and wishes us to state to his friends over the county that he appreciated their loyalty in the last primary. We want to state here that our op- ponents were both nice to us and if they ever said an unkind word about us during the campaign we never heard of it. They were our friends before and l trust that they are our friends still, in fact we know they are.

The Federal Food Administra- tion desires that no heifer calves be sold for slaughter purposes. They may be sold by one farmer or rancher to another for breed ing purposes. The purpose of this is to increase the beef sap- ply. It will not work any hard ship on any one but rather prove profitable in the end.

PRESCOTT. NEVADA COUNTY ARKANSAS.

I like the Artillery fine for most of my drill is mounted drill. We have some fine horses here. Another thing about the army I like, and that is we have noth- ing to bother us. Uncle Sam feeds and clothes us and gives us a little money to spend. A word to the fathers and mothers who have a boy in the service of the U. s. A. l know that you are grieved over the boys that are gone, 1 know there are vacant chairs in many homes in the U. s. A., that will never be filled any more, but you can say your son went and did all he could for the freedom of his country. and your welfare.
 The boys are taking great in terest in their drill here now and doing ali that is in their power to help win this war, and 1 know Victory is ours if the people will just back us a little.
 One word to the young men who are expecting to come to the Camp. 1 know it looks hard to you to leave home and loved ones, but do your part. Act a man, and learn all you can about army life; and as fast as you can and l will assure you that you will come out better in the long run.
 Many of the boys who came here with me are in France now. | 1 don't know how long 1 will be here. May be here for some time yet, and maybe here only a few days. l can't tell.
 We have S5 new men now of this last draft. Going to get 37 more.
 The boys who have just come in are learning to drill fast and are taking great interest in the military ways.
 We have all kinds of fighting material here. The American 3-inch cannon gun, the French 75 cannon, and the British 6-inch cannon.
 | I think we will get the Kaiser in a few days. So goodbye sweet hearts, wives, and mothers. It won't take us long. Don't wor- ry while we're gone. it's you we are fighting for.
 So goodby Broadway! Hello France, we're going to pay our debt to you. 1 remain,
 Lovingly,
 w. c. Fuller.

THIS OLD BOY WANTS TO FIGHT

Camp Greene, N. (.
 May 13, 1918. MT. J. w. Franks,
 Prescott, Ark, Kind Sir,
 The application for furlough which was made out and ap- proved of by The Local Board of Nevada County" for Harry w, Lambert, was received today, and l want to thank you, as you are one of the board, for your consideration of the application. however 1 will not try for the furlough. Of course father did not know my feelings about this war or he never would have ap- piled. 1 feel that my duty is to stay where 1 am at present. 1 did not wait for the draft and now do not want the regl- ment to leave me, and have to fall back with the third draft. 1 am now ready for foreign service as I've had a year of very rigid training. feel like my training would be of no value to anyone but myself if.I were to come back now.
 am very highly pleased with the service and especially so with this regiment. Thirteen is considered an unlucky number, and 1 believe myself it is, but only for the enemy.
 1 am gratefully.
 Harry w. Lambert,
 18th F. A. Battery F.
