Dear Homefolks:

paper and other necessary dope to
write with. | suppose you see by
the papers that we are pretty busy
over here. Believe me. after you
have been in this game for while
you know what it is to lose sleep
and to work. It's no kids job but
we are on the job and the more
they let us shoot the better we like
it. | guess we would wear the
guns out if they would let us.
However, we usually get in for our
share. We have had two citations
already for good work. You can
imagine how pleased we were.
About the time we get every
thing fixed up good in one place we
receive orders to move. The infan-
try doesn't seem to have any re-
spect for our feelings. They sure
are devils on this fighting stuff. If
any of those pro- Germans think the
American "Doughboys" can't fight,
they ought to get in front of them
once.
While we were moving some
time ago, the Boches took it into
their heads to shell a cross roads
ahead of us. Of course. in case
Of that kind, the only sensible thing
I'd do is to hunt shelter, which we
did. l picked a nice hole in the
ground for myself and was just
ready to jump in when | found that
five or six dead Germans had got
there ahead of me. l moved on
, and found another location at once.
We see some pretty gruesome
7 sights, but it isn't nearly as bad as
: | expected. Of course we don't
see the worst.
We had several gas bombs. but
so far, no gas, so we don't know
exactly what the real stuff smells
like. A lot of the boys are loaded

with our mess wagon and that's
sure lucky. We had lemonade for

Liberty Loan Interest Rate

Secretary McAdoo has definitely
announced that the Fourth Liberty
Loan bonds will bear Al percent.
The Secretary has been insistent
that the Government interest rate
should be stabilized at At percent.
He points out that a raise in the
rate of interest of only / of per-
cent on $4,000, 100000 of Govern
ment bonds would mean an annual
increase of $25, 100000 in interest
charges, and that this money would
have to be raised by increased tax
alton and paid by the people of the
country. 1t would not be paid by
one class only, because there are
consumption as well as other kinds
of taxes, and the consumption taxes
reach avery class of people.
"As an intelligent people,: said
Secretary McAdoo during the Third
Liberty Loan campaign, 1--WE should
now make a stand for the financing
of our Government during the per-
/ iod of this war at stabilized rate
of interest, say at At percent per
annum, so that all business and all
investments may be adjusted to
that basis, and so that we ourselves
may protect ourselves against sue
cessively increased rates Of interest
on Government loans
Neither our patriotism nor our
support of the Liberty Loans are
measured in fractions of percent.

An American Soldier

There is story going the rounds
that illustrates remarkably well
the characteristic spirit of our boys
in France. A Belgian sentry was
on duty one night. Hearing a noise
he said "Who goes there!" can Eng
lish soldier" was the reply. "Pass
on English soldier" said the sentry,
Later, hearing another noise he
again challenged and was answered
"a French soldier" Later he hearc
another noise and said: "Who goes
there!"
"Who in the hi wants to know?'
pass on American soldier, an6
God bless you," said the sentry.

extreme heat is what gets my goat.

will get away from this place but
probably not until we are equipped

There is only one gun here for the

THE STARRY SKIES IN MAY

one day. The new asteroid was of only the eleventh magnitude, while it's even fainter companion was described as Of the fourteenth magnitude.
 The new object was discovered in the northern borders of the constellation Geminf, but it was moving very rapidly eastward; in fact, it's motion was so rapid that it was doubtful whether it was a true asteroid at all If an as- teroid, its path was certainly very unlike that of the other asteroids. According- ly, it was sometimes referred to as comet, but it was general called simply an ''obiect' until it's true nature should be discovered.
 When sufficient number of observa- tions had been secured to enable it's path to be well determined it was found to be indeed an asteroid, but one mov- ing in a very unusual orbit. The form of this path is shown in Figure ?. It is the least circular of all the asteroid or bits, so that when nearest the sun it is far within tho orbit of Mars, and when farthest away it is not very far from the orbit of Jupiter. It may approach within 19, 9,e00.0O0 miles of the earth. The only other heavenly body which comes so near us as this is another little as- teroid named Eros, the moon alone ex- cepted. Thus the new body comes much nearer the earth than Venus or any of the other planets of the solar system. When it is at the most remote part of it's orbit, however, it will be quite in- visible both photograplTcally and in all existing telescopes.
 The great importance of the new as- teroid lies in the fact that at times it approaches so near us that it's absolute distance away in miles can be deter mined, for it draws so near that when
