Dear Friends am very, very much
indebted to you all for the delicious
box of sugar cookies which you so
thoughtfully and kindly sent to me over
here, and which have just been re-

which were so aimlessly and thought
lessly spent about the dear old town.
The boys over here, both those from

Temperance wind is blowing: "A Stale

Indiana on Tuesday making the State
dry from border to border. II closes s.

In Illinois on Tuesday the drys made
great gains in the local option elections,
about 80 saloons being voted out OF
existence. Among the wet cities that
went dry were Bloomington and Rock
Island. The temperance people won
thirteen wet strongholds and lost only
three dry townships. In Wisconsin
nine cities and towns which were wet
voted against the saloons, among them
being Beloit, Superior and Ashland,

Shepherdstown Branch Red Cross
Shepherdstown, w. Va.
Dear Friends-You cannot possibly
imagine what a great pleasure it was
for me to receive your Christmas pack
age, containing so many useful articles.
We have been so much on the move
during the last two months that mail
did not follow us closely, and ii was
only about two weeks ago that the pack
age and | happened to come together.
Ii came very welcome visitor in our
little dug-out under the surface OF the
ground. We had already been to the
front for a month or So-rather far
from most sweets, and naturally we
soon made away with the candy. And
the other articles were equally welcome
and may prove the more appreciable in
that they will last the longer.
"All is quiet along the Potomac to-
night"-the first for long time, and
quite a contrast with last night and
some several other nights and days
too. But the spirit of all the boys here
is wonderful and inspiring. There is
not one who would want to be anywhere
else until this war is ended and ended
right. The Germans have tried us out
and doubtless they have observed in the
Americans a new spirit, one that we
hope may be big factor in crumbling
the monster war dogs supposedly I'M
beatable army. When the guns small
and great all break loose up and down
the lines and all around us, it is stirring
to know that the big end of the grumb-
ling is on our side, and when it comes
to measuring effects, however much We
may hate that such has to be, we are
glad to know that there again the dis
tinct advantage is with our guns.
The spirit of you good people back
at home is very inspiring to us here.
1t makes us want to do more and more
that fewer and fewer may have to
come over to help bring the desired
end here.
With many thanks for your kind
presents and for the honor Of having
among my homefolks the good people
of Shepherdstown, am always
Very sincerely,
CLEON S. OSBOURN.

IN his first public speech since his
recent illness. Colonel Roosevelt in an
address in Portland, Maine. few days
ago made bitter attack on the admins
tration in Washington and made much OF
what he termed the "mismagement' in
the conduct Of the war. Ii was political
speech and an open bid for the next
presidential nomination, very much Out
OF place at this particular crisis OF our af-
tlirs. The concerted action OF Colonel
Roosevelt, Senator Lodge, Senator Cham
berlain and other big politicians looks as
il they are making spring drive on the
Democrats, but it will fzzle out. for the
people of the country are in no mood for
partisan politics just now.
II is not Inappropriate in this connec-
lion TO quote recent statement by former
Governor Martin H. Glynn, Of New
York, which is as follows:
To-day the people OF this country can
be divided into two camps.
Those who wanted war at any price.
And those who hoped for peace, il
peace could be maintained without the
sacrifice OF national honor.
Now. we are at war, and we have the
astonishing anomaly OF the leaders OF the
"war buzzards" trying 10 gnaw the vitals
out OF our Commander in Chief, while
the great majority OF those who stood for
peace while peace spelled honor are up
holding the Presidents hands as Aaron
and Hur upheld the hands oil Moses in
his battle with Amalek.
The present volcanic attack against
the war policies of President Wilson is
no haphazard incident. Ii is well-laid
plot, nicely trained and strategically
timed. Its purpose, no matter how
secretive IFS sponsors, how insinuating
its methods, how seductive IFS arguments,
is TO give the Republican party majority
in the next house OF Representatives and
to pave the way for Republican Pres
idert IN 1920. From political point OF
view this may be tolerable; from a pa
triotic aspect, in national crisis like This,
IL is odious and detestable.
The business of the nation today is 10
win the war. and The political leaders,
who Tor party gain or personal aim lay
The slightest obstacle in the way of the
happy consummation OF this business,
clothe themselves in diabo;Ical livery
and surround their political Vaccinations
win a birthstone scent, a sulphurous
ooor ofiehS v. TO people who revere pa
uiolism IN politics, but abhor politics in
patriotism.

Help White Earth 90 Over the top in a
Real Gas Attack. ~

The time is here for White Earth
to larnch gas attack against the
Huns. The mere fact that White
Earth is 5000 miles from the
fighting line doesn't make bit of
difference. White Earth is going
to hurl thousands of gas grenades
at the heads of the barbarians who
are fighting the forces of civiliza-
ton in France. 1t is going,to do
it by subscribing it's full quot. and
more of the fourth Liberty loan.
Maybe yon will dig into your
pocket with greater JOY when you
stop to think that every As cents
that you lend to Uncle Sam will
put a gas grenade in the hands of
one of our boys over there. The
quota for White Earth is $780, 900,
and if this amount only should be
subscribed, White Earth will buy
about 5000 gas grenades for. the
boys who know what to do with
them when they get them.
