LONDON, Nov. 19-The British
Press and prominent British States
men are of the opinion that there is
plot being Matched in Germany that
has as an object the federation of
Germany with the German speaking
part of the Austro-Hungarian
Empire. Sweden, Holland and
Switzerland to join the Federation
under the rule of the Ex-Kaiser Will
helm of Germany. The consensus of
opinion here is that should the Allied
governments permit the formation of
the proposed federation, the founda-
ton for future wars would be laid.
That Germany being defeated in
this tremendous struggle of four years
duration would arise from the con-
flict stronger than ever and all the

would have been expended fruitless-
ly.

Camp, at San Diego, Calf.
Dear Friend Fern:
will write you a few lines to
let you know that Eddie passed
away yesterday.
During the time when he first
took down with measles | have
visited him often.
He had but few days to
stay in measle ward when all of
a sudden his neck began to SVEN
and he was removed to the hos
pital and operated on.
With this and the pneumonia
his fever high and nurse at his
side almost all the time apply
ing ice bags to his head. Poor
boy he had a hard struggle.
Eds work while here in the
Ground School for Naval Ali
Service was fine. He made all
the grades required for exams as
far as he went and was getting
along fine.
All the boys here in our com.
pany were his friends and, Fern
they certainly were shocked
more so with him, than any o.
the others that go, in the same
manner.
| He never went out for a goot
time, as he put that on his les
sons and the smooth log that |!
required of us on our aeronauti
cal work.
| believe Ed is the first to gt
of the Naval force of Lincoll
county boys.
He will be missed by all VIII,
knew him.
Your friend,
