MONTEREY, VA. AUGUST Is, 1918

It is idle and foolish to trltle With
Uncle Sans demands, no matte;
how we may view them. Some are
slow to learn this truth.
Highland recorder. (Monterey, Highland County, Va.) 1877-1972, 1918-08-16

1t is admitted by our government
officials and all thoughtful people
that there is great danger of undue
optomism at this stage of the
great war.
The recent victories Of the allies
are not to be denied and We bave a
right to throw our hats in the air
and cheer, but to conclude that no
furthe. big efforts and sacrifices
are needed will prove disastrous.
At no time since the war began has
there been such call for united
effort and hard ticks. Uncle Sam
has just begun to roll up his sleeves,
and the enemy is in a position to
surmise what he will do when he
throws his coat, splits on his
hands and enters the conflict with
all the fury and force of which be
is capable.
The boys abroad are doing their
part in impressing this truth; the
people at home must back them.
AS a nation we must "speak" in
every way our undaunted purpose
to win, aDd win quickly.
One Of the ways in which we can
evidence such spirit is to give a
rousing response to the approach
ing Liberty Loan. Let US hope it
will be Victory Loan, but we can,
not tell. The situation in spite of
present victories, would seem to
justify the conclusions set forth in
the following paragraphs found in
one of the leading publications,
written some three weeks ago:
How long do you think it will
last?'
1t is hard question because the
answer is hard. But we see no
reason to change an original con-
viction that there will be no peace
until Germany experiences a change
of heart. Never, to an outsider,
has the military party seemed more
completely in control of that coun-
try than at this writing. Ire en-
ergy that engages seven million
Allied soldiers in France. that bust
ly intrigues in Russia and Finland
looks far from spent.
However scarce food may be,
there are still plenty of guns and
men to use them. Incipient revo-
lutions may bubble up in Austria
Hungary, but they seem as help |
less to reach d elimination as every
thing else in Austria, Hungary is.
From that huge, lumSerling incom-
petence nobody is warranted IN ex-
pecting anything OF conclusive
sort.
This is unpalatable to millions of
American households, for which
every added month of war means
an extended hazard of a members
life and limbs, but it is idle to
speculate on when the war will end.
It may end as swiftly and unex
pecteuly as it began. But there is
only one certainty only one idea
really worth holding namely, that
it sha | cad tight.

Nv dear Father,

My dear Father,
I received your
welcome letter few days ago, anc
aad begun to think you were
never going to write. l have been
writing to Roy ever since | came
over here, it takes only 5 to 7 days
for a letter to 60 from here to him.
l guess George is over here now.
| had a letter from Mamie and she
said he told her not to write TILL
she heard from him again, said he
was going to take long trip.
There was lot of soldiers from
his camp landed short ways from
where we are stationed; we do not
have very much of chance to run
around over here. We get seven
day furlough every four months
We came over TO win this war,
and we are going to do it or stay
here till Gabriel blows his horn. |
am sure it will not take us loug,
hope not anyway. Our boys are
sure giving good account OF them
selves. The Huns may shoot them
down but they are going to have
i bard time trying to make them
run, unless it is forward.
You people over there can't
realize how much these people over
here have suffered, very seldom
you ever run across a family that
hasn't lost a father, son or some
very close relative. The atrocities
the Huns commit are something
awful, everything you read about
them is true, I did not believe it
until l came over here. They
even cut off some of the little limo,
cent children's hands; have about
come to the conclusion that they
are not human beings, but believe
me they are going to get theirs
good and plenty before long. 1t
is true they have advanced quite a
bit this spring but their losses in
men have been enormous to that
of the Allies. Man power is going
to be the deciding factor of this
war, of that I am pretty sure. e.,
You said the nation was behind
us, of that we were sure before we
came over. All you people at
home have to do (and that is alo }
is to keep Us supplied with food
and ammunition and we will sure
" take Old Glory 10 Berlin and
show the German people what a
beautiful flag it is and what it
really stands for.
This is a very pretty country.
We have lots of fun over here try
ing to talk with the people. l
hope your foot is we'll by this time
Give my love to all.
Your son,

Ny dear Mother,
| did not think
the last time l wrote you that the
next time | wrote you would be
somewhere in France, but | am
here, we'll, happy and looking as
good as ever, or that is what all the
folks oyer here say.
We had a fine trip over, we were
with several other transports, all
of them had troops on. We sight
ed ole or two submarines, but
they could not do anything with
us.
received your letter in mid
ocean and was more than glad to
get it | do not think have ever
had trip that l enjoyed as much
rs that one. When we arrived
over here, it was just like circus
10 me; the people over here arr
such peculiar looking folks. Al
of them ride bicycles; all of the
automobiles that we see belong to
the government, and the bUx cars
al have U S. on. them. We see
very few Franchmen, but most
everywhere you look you can see
American soldiers. Thi; is a beat =
fiful country, such wonderful
looking houses and everything
looks so green, the wheat and pota
20 fields look better than they do
down the pike, they are raising
thipgs to eat on all the little spots
they can find.
| Just came from a guard house
where they have lot of German
prisoners, they are a pretty tough
bunch of men, most of them are
real young boys. as young as James,
but guess that is what the Ger
nan army is made up of now.
We have a very nice camp here,
but l guess we will only be here a
short while. l just had good
shower bath and changed my I'M
.erwear and | feel fl now, we
get plenty to eat, so | do not see
why we can not be as comfortable
here as we were in America.
The next time yoa see Margaret
III her to write me as it will take
a long time get mail over there.
hope you are all we'll. l guess
you are through cutting wheat
now. Do you remember this day
year ago? l came home from
Detroit and if some one would have
told me that in a year would be

Well, mother take good care of
yourself and do not worry about

along alright. Tell all the folks
hello for me and write often. Tell
all the kids hello.

ing the nation together as no nation of great size has ever been welded be- fore. It will build up from the bottom an understanding and sympathy and urS-y of purpose and effort which will no doubt have an immediate and de eisive effect upon our great under taking. You will find it, r think, not so much new task as unifcation of existing efforts, a fusion of ener- gies now too much shattered and at times somewhat confused into one harmonious and effective power.
 Tt is only by extending your or ganization to small communities that every citizen of the state can be reached and touched with the inspir- atien of the common cause. The school house has been suggested as an apt though not essential center for your local counsel. It symbolizes one of the first fruits of such an organ ization, naHielY. the spreading of the realization of the grear truth that 1t is each one of us as an individual upon whom rests the ultimate responsibil- ity. Through this great new organ ization we will express with added emphasis our will to win and our con fdence ill the utter righteousness of our purpose.
