ECONOMICALLY"

A letter from the front, printed in the Louis vile Courier-Journa says i've couldn't have killed Boches economically in any other way and they know that we hold them in any masses
 This is the opinion of soldier who has seen, and been in, the fighting. It has seemed at long range that the Germans have spent their forces layishly without effecting any object worth it's cost and that while the Allies have paid heavily in killed and wounded they have killed and wounded enough Ger mans to make their retirement triumph.
 To kill Germans as rapidly, and as economically possible, IS the task of the civilized countries When dog with rabies amuck the duty of those among whom he has amuck is to kill him as quickly as possible and at the smallest cost in injury
 It is a waste of time to talk about terms of peace when the German idea of peace thus far made manifest IS German peace. The only valuable use of time, of money, of ships, of ammunition of guns of all army supplies, is in killing Germans as eco nomcally as possible and continuing to kill masses of them until they have been taught that their joy plans of 1914 a failure It seems evident that in inauguratng their l9lS spring drive the Germans provided the Allies with an opportunity kill them if the initiative had been left to the Allies

dockhouse the Red Cross gave us each
a sandwich and a cup of coffee, and
then we were ready to step on the
gang plank to the big ocean liner.
This was the first time I had been
on an ocean ship and altho it was not
of the larger ones it looked pretty
big to me. The name of it was
Scandinavia Glasgow and carried 24OO
soldiers besides the crew. We were
scheduled to have sailed on the Water
land but arrived little too late. The
next forenoon our ship sailed down
the river bound for the great wide
ocean. We passed the statue of Lib
erty, which we all said goodbye to,
and then we were ready for the joy
we met fifteen other ships, all loaded
with soldiers and the whole bunch
started together. 1t would have been
quite sight for a sub if it had dared
to stick up its periscOpe, but as there
was sixteen loaded cannons Zone on
each ship waiting for it, it didn't
do any looking around. We didn't
see sub on the whole trip, and the
night we passed thru the submarine
zone, 1 was down in my bunk asleep
having sweet dreams.
eve landed at. Glasgow after an
eleven days trip and in the afternoon
got on the train and shot right thru
Ireland and Scotland to Winchester,
England. We stayed at camp there
about two days, when some of the
fellows got the measles and mumps,
so we. left that camp and were sent
to quarantine camp about seven
miles away, called Camp Standon. In
this quarantine camp we stayed three
weeks while the fellows were getting
rid Of their ailments. When our time
was up we went to Southampton,
about twelve miles distance, and there
we boarded a small ocean liner and |
started across the channel for Havre,
France. We stayed in Havre two |
days. From there we went to St.
Agnon and at that place our unit was
sent to this base hospital at Orleans.
There are lot of little experiences
we had along the way which I will
tell you about when I come back, but
this will give you general idea what
have been doing since I left the
states.
"Now since the war is over we are
sort of guessing around about what
time we will be going back. This
hospital is being evacuated very fast

brother visited home folks here and
at Princeton, returning to the coast

Much interest is being manifested
in the Red Cross as was shown by
the hearty response in the canvas for
new members Monday.
The meetings still continue at
Mountain Home church. Also Sun

GREAT IRRIGATION
SCHEME ADVOCATED
SUGGESTION OF COVER OR
LISTER FOR TAPPING LAKE
PEND D'OREILLE

All constructive organizations in
the Inland Empire will be urged to
give moral support to the big recla-
nation project which has been
brought to the fore by Governor
Lister and others. While eastern
Washington is primarily most deeply
interested in the movement, the pro-
ject is so vast and means the en-
ployment of so many men in it's con-
struction and the ultimate placing of
10000 new settlers upon the property

that is realized to be of Importance to
the whole territory. Such an influx of
settlers, brought here under advan-

settlers, brought mere under advan-
tageous circumstances, would give
encouragement to other irrigation
and reclamation projects and would
act as great advertisement of In
land Empire resources, according to
the men who are foremost in pro-
noting the project.
1t is proposed to tap the waters of
the Pend d'Oreille river at Alban1
Falls, Idaho, and carry them on to a
vast area in Lincoln, Adams, Grant
and Franklin counties and sections of
Douglas, Walla Walla and Whitman
counties. It means the reclamation
of approximately 100000 acres at a
cost of $3.50, 100000. The proposal
is to bond the state for the purchase
of the land and interest the federal
reclamation service in doing the work.
By this plan the land can be offered
to settlers at very low figures and on

French hens do not lay eggs as fast
as the ones in America, I guess. But
the spirit is there among the French
and that is the main thing. Plenty
of liquid spirit too. In France they
do not have saloons. They have cafes
and men and women alike go into
these places and have drink The
ladies, instead of ordering matted
milk or ice cream soda, will order a
drink with a kick in it. But you
seldom see anybody drunk here They
just take their little drink of wine
or grog and then they are thru for
awhile. They don't sit down and see
how much they can hold at one time.
