HOME SERVICE
Red Cross Tells How to Help

Uncle Sans Soldiers in France are
proving themselves thrifty as well as
fighters.
In the last six months, the over
seas force has remitted to relatives,
friends and creditors in the U. S.
through the Y. M. C. A. alone, $3,-
100000. This service to soldiers is
free. although the "Y" in sending
out checks for $4,000 remittances, has
spent $150,000 for stamps, and en-
ploys 100 girls filling out checks.
With statements like the above
from the "Y" leaders and from what
such men as George Adam, Gipsey
Smith, Paul D. Moody, Harry Laud-
er, and many others have to say
about their patriotism, ideals, and
clean living,-our Men in Service are
showing themselves worthy of every
effort we can make at home to keep
them SO.
Encourage them by helping to look
after their families in their absence
through the Red Cross Home Service
by buying Liberty Bonds now and
helping later in the United War
Work campaign, in this way
keep up our own morale" against
the day when they come home to
inquire what we have done with
our talent.

AUSTRIA SHOWS
READINESS FOR PEACE
Socialists Present Terms in Chamber
of Deputies

Paris, Oct. 5.-Vienna announces
the withdrawal of all her divisions
from Albania because of the collapse
of Bulgaria. The capture of Berat
by enemy forces also is announced.
While London diplomatic circles
describe the Turkish situation as
moving" Austria appears to be the
present theatre of the peace move
ment threatening the Central Powers,
In the Austrian Chamber of Depu-
ties peace discussion was opened by
the socialists, who presented their
terms for ending the conflict, no an
nexations, restoration of Serbia
Montenegro and Belgium, revision OF
the Bucharest and Brest-Litovsk
treaties and autonomy for each ma
ton in Austria Hungary. At the
same time Emperor Charles confer
red with his chief of staff, premier
and foreign ministers.
The general view in London is that
Turkey will make no definite peace
bid until she learns Germany is un-
able to extend help to her.

Has Been in Some Pretty Hot En-

"With the Colors"
August 6, 1918
Dear mother:

Dear mother:
We have been having fine weather
here Of late altho it has rained some
today.
We went to another town today,
and got all new clothes so are feel
ing fine. We are now stationed in a
little town near the Marine river and
can go in swimming quite often. The
last fight we were mixed up in was
some scrap. The infantry lined up
in front of US and went over the
top 1t was then about six o'clock
in the morning. Day breaks early
here so the sun shone quite bright,
bat it didn't seem to bother them any
if the sun did shine on their bay
onets. They were laughing and
when they were lining up anyone
looking on would think they were 60
ing to their daily drill. They certain
ly showed what they were made of.
After the first three waves went
over, we started over on the left of
them to cover any counter-attack if
there should happen to be any. We
certainly have had some exciting
times the last time up to the front.
We went thru rain of machine gun
bullets several ttmesi but haven't
got a scratch yet. One morning we
had orders to clean out woods, and
I guess the Germans must have seen
us coming with our machine guns,
{ because when we got there, the Ger
mans had cleared out. They are still
retreating, and the Americans and
French close on their heels.

days ago. He had just come out of a

all right and feeling fine.
Hoping everyone keeps we'll.
