LETTER HERE
FROM LIEUT.,
ARTHUR KELLY
At Present With the British
Army in France-Says
Huns are Cruel.

Word has been received in this city
by Peter j. Kelley to tho effect That
his SON., Lieutenant Arthur Kelly, has
been transferred to the British army
headquarters in France. Lieutenant
Kelly left here with the members of
Grand Forks Machine Gun company,
in which he was a quartermaster
sergeant. Shortly after arriving in
France he was made lieutenant.
In his letter Lieutenant Kelly states
that one simply has to be there and
actually see the cruelties the Hun
practices, otherwise one couldn't inn
agine a supposedly civilized people
stopping as low, M doing some Of the
most inhuman things Il ma can prac-
ticc.
He also states that the British SOL
diers are "a brave lot of men and that
every time they go over the top the
Hun realizes it. The morale of the
Allies is very good. They IRE de-
termined to bring the kaiser to his
knees. From all expectations OF. the
men in France the war lis bound to
last q couple of years yet.
No mention was made of the pres
ent drive that is in progress. But
judging from the main text of tho let
ter, the British do not worry about
the Hun. breaking through the COM
bined French and English lines.
