Dear Christ
l received a Pioneer totlay-the
first since 1 left home. did not
get the four proceeding Pioneers and
| would sure appreciate 1t If you
would send them to me. That is,
if you can scare up these back num-
hers and / will gladly pay for them
Well, Chris, ! just got out of one of
the field hospitals where I have
been the past few days fighting it
out with Spanish Influenza. If. /
could get the kaiser as quick as /
got the Flu this war would be over
soon. AT that the Flu isn't any
thing to joke about and it makes
fellow sick enough to forget how to
laugh. The camp il under strict
quarantine and there has been over
1000 cases 10 far and the hospi-
tails are kept Allied up, but the
death rate is very low, except when
it turns into pneumonia. One hoy
from Bismarck, N. d., died last
Sunday. His name was Murray.
received a letter from Frank Fisk
today end he tells me that be has
caught the Flu, too. Well it isn't
anything to. brag about anyway. as
anyone can catch It. We start on
some interesting work next week
gas mask drills, grenade work and
topography. The drill and instruc->
ton is very hard but man feels
that he must get all there is TO get,
for without knowledge he can't
make good. An officer has no easy
job as some uniformed people inn
aeine. | am commencing to real
ize that "Shave Tail'--a second
lieutenant has about the hardest
job in 'this mans army"
Time goes fast, but Ill be glad
when this training is over. I'll
close for this time with best wishes
to all my friends.

Dear Friend Christ
| It has been just week ago since
| returned to the Fort, and glad to
get back into the harness. re-
ceived your copy Of the Pioneer and
was sure glad to get the home news.
A paper like the Pioneer always
braces me up ASH reckon it does
with the other boys from Sioux
county. After all Dakota is the
only place to live in. They talk
about Dakota being rough, why
they never saw New Mexico and
Arizona. All a person can see is
rocks, mountains and occasionally
some reptiles like the ella mon
ster, etc.
With best wishes to yourself and
readers Of the Pioneer, / am,
Yours truly,

Advance Information !
On July I, 1918
THE PRICES ON SOME
Memo Corsets
WILL BE ADVANCED

Which the models are, and
what the advances will be,
we do not yet know, so we
are giving our customers the
benefit of all the informa-
ton in our possession.
We have also heard a
rumor that the government
is considering placing cor
sets on the 'non-essentiaP"
list. If that should happen,
it would be a tragedy for
Memo wearers; because, no
matter what the government
NAV think a bout it, we
KNOW that Memo Corsets
are essential to the health
and happiness of millions
of women.
We suggest that you buy
at least a two years supply
while you can get them, and
be sure to buy them this
month, while they are still
to be had at the following
moderate prices:
MEMO
Corsets, s3.oot 5000
Wonderful Corsets, $500 to S12.OO
Marvelace oorsets, 5000 to $1,000
Kop Service Corsets, $500 to $1,000

MORE THAN ONE HUNDRED AND
FIFTY PERISH IN HEAB-ON
COLLISION.
BLAME HAS NOT BEEN FIXED
Of the Train Crew Five Are Dead, Ia
Guiding the Engineer and Firemen
of Both Trains, and the Baggage

Nashville, Tenn.-The total number
of identified and unidentified dead
from head-on collision between two
fast passenger trains on the Nash
vile. Chattanooga and st. Louis rail
way at Harding station, five miles
west of Nashville, has reached 126.
Rescue parties are still recovering
bodies from the wreckage and many
of the seriously injured in the hospi-
tails are dying hourly The total mum
Der of dead probably viii reach $50.
The total number of injured is now
estimated at rs and many of these
are said to be at the point of dea,h
in the various hospitals.
Both engines reared and fell OF
either side of the track, masses Of
twisted iron and Steel while the fear
full impact Of the blow drove the ex-
press car of the north bound train
through the loaded wooden coaches,
telescoping the smoking car in front
and piling high the two cars behind
it, both packed to the aisles with ne
groes en- route to the powder plant
here, and about $50 other regular pas
sengers.
Just where the blame lies has not
been ascertained. Officials of the road
are silent.
The scene Immediately after the
collision is indescribale. Those es-

fed in panic The cornfeld on both
sides of the track was trampled by
many feet and Uttered with fragments
of iron and wood from the demolished
cars. The dead lay here and there
The dying moaned appeals for aid
or, speeches., rolled their heads from
side to side and writhed In. agony.
Everywhere there was suffering and
chaos.
All morning attention cent6ged
about the telescoped smoking car on
the outbound train, crews working
hard to raise with jacks the heav8
body of the express coach, beneath
of the white victims. In one of the
seats, his body held as in wise, sat
one of the passengers. still conscious,
but with three of the dead crushed
against him. The side of the car was
chopped away and the man released,
apparently in dying condition.
OF the train crews five are dead,
including the engineers and fremen
of both trains, and the baggagemaster
of train No /.
Fortunately fire played no part in
piling up the horrors of the day,
slight blaze at the end of one OF the
coaches being almost instantly extin-
guished.

RUSSIA AWAKES TO
GERMAN AUT0CRACY
COMMENT OF PARIS NEWSPA.
PERS ON KILLING COUNT
Won MIRBACH.

Paris.-In their comment on the
assassination of Count Won Mirbach
the Paris newspapers are unanimous
in expressing the opinion that the
event will be likely to cause eompli-
cations the Importance Of which eau
not be gagged.
The tirst awakening of the ven
geance of Russia against German Tyr
rany. is the light in which lie jour
nal views it, while the Petit Journal
wonders if it will not open neY
phase of Germanys difficulties in the
east.
In the state of tension existing
between Russia and Germany" says
the Figaro, this assassination may
lead to the most interesting complica-
TONS
humanity considers the act not
vulgar assassination, but an act of
open rebellion by exasperated pa
triotism."
The assassination, as the Matin
views it, shows that there are still
in Russia men concerned with the
dignity of their country and imbued
with patriotism"
Alexander F. Kerensky, former pre-
mier of Russia, when informed by the
Associated Press of the assassination
of General Count Won Mirbach, Ges-
man ambassador at Moscow, declared
that while he could not feel elated
at the death of human being" he
could not help saying ct is a good
thing for Russia"
VI. Kerensky seemed reluctant to
believe the news, asking repeatedly,
ARE you sure?"
When informed that the news
seemed perfectly reliable, as it origi-
mated in Berlin, he said:
This may be the beginning of the
Renaissance of Russia"
''But now the Germans will surely
go to Moscow" he added sadly. 1t
was only a few days ago that Kereh-
sky, in a talk with the correspondent,
expressed his opinion that the only
reason German troops had not yet ap-
peared in Moscow was because Won
Mirbach had not required their pres
ence there.
The identity of the assassins has
not been established, nor have they
been arrested, the message states.

PR0Hl HAS RIGHT
OF WAY IN SENATE
ACTION WILL BE POSTPONED oW.
ING TO THE NUMBER OF
ABSENTEES.

Washlngton.-With midsummer re.
cess plans unexpected blocked by the
House, Congress has buckled down to
work with q view to cleaning up its
legislative slate SO as to get occasion
al respites of a few days at a tine
while the Senate interstate commerce
committee is holding hearings on The
House resolution providing for gov
eminent control during the war Of
telegraph. telephone, cable and radio
systems.
Failure of the Senate to pass the
resolution-an action which was
strongly urged by the president-was
largely responsible for the refusal o.
the House to consider the resolution
passed by the Senate calling for adj
journment to August Il. Senate lead
ers insist that hasty action on this leg
islation is not possible in spite of the
threatened strike of the teIegraphers
employed by the Western Union, and
extensive hearings are planned to be-
gin probably week from tomorrow
Although the meoted question of
nationwide prohibition during the
war has the right of way in the Sen
ate when the 11,O00,00 emergency
agricultural appropriation bill comes
up under its privilege status. compar-
atfvely slim attendance in the upper
house as well as in the lower is ex-
pected. Many members left Washing
ton for their homes, some with the
belief that a recess was a certainty
and others regardless of the defeat in
the House of the vacation plans.
Many members, however, besieged
railroad ticket offices with cancella-
lions of orders for reservations.
With weekend and three day rests
as their sole consolation in prospect
during the summer, some leaders are
discussing an effort to hasten DISPOSE

BILE, effect a anal adjournment early

it is a matter so important that it can
not be rushed and has scant prospect
of enactment before late in October.
Wartime prohibition promises a
spectacular struggle in the Senate,
and so complex is the situation that
few leaders are haZarding a predic-
ton of the result. An early vote,
however, is not in prospect. Because
of absence of many senators the
"drys' plan to postpone roll call until
a full membership is present
The administration bill to develop
water power resources is expected to
be pressed in the House soon. After
disposal of this legislation House
leaders plan series of three-day re-
cesses while the revenue measure is
in the making by the ways and means
committee.
