Something About the Transports Which Are Taking Men Across
 by Hundreds of Thousands
Nv TRANSPORT OFFICER

Of the many difficult duties an officer
 in the army has to perform in France, or at any other seat of war, there is nothing to compare with that of the cen- soring of hundreds of letteFs written by
 the soldiers under his command. The
 unfortunate platoon commander is re-
 quired to have the wisdom of Solomon to cope with his task the proper fulfilment
 of which brings him no glory and no
 thanks In fact, if he is not an anna
 teur diplomatst of high order, he re-
 ceives only the friendly abuse of his
 Pen
 The problems he is confronted with are intending, and the censoring work IS
 done as a task after the performance of other tasks. The soldier, when he has nothing else to do, writes letters to his
 mother. sisters, brothers, uncles, aunts,
 cousins and to every friend he can think the country, all about the natives, all
 about the food he eats, and million oth- CT things. Very often he writes practi- cally the same letter to seven or eight different people, and the letter is about six pages long. The unfortunate officer has to read through each and every one in case there may be something hidden in any one of them which it is not de-
 sirable should go forward The soldier writes his letters cheerfully in his spare moments; the officer, alas, censors them mserably in what should be his spare
 moments.
 What is the officer to do In such
 case as this? A soldier has two wives and writes to both on the same day. Is it necessary for the company officer | to interfere? Another soldier. who has | just arrived in France, and has neevr 1 been within 20 miles of the firing line, l writes home that "the sound of the 1 guns is deafening, ana the bombs were ] bursting all around this morning." There was probably a certain amount of truth l in the latter statement, as he may have
 witnessed an exhibition of bombing at the practice ground, or assisted at q ] bloodless battle in one of the training i fields Another soldier, who crayes for ' sympathy and gifts, writes home to say i that the life Is hard and the food is bad. very bad indeed, and twill you please ! send me some cigarettes and candies and
 a cake etc, etc, etc.?''

engineer to look after some Of the
work of getting and handling labor.
Mr.. Harwell Is an Italian, but says he
has lived in this country for the past

the Kitchenette, Mr.. Harwell told
some miscellaneous and contradict
ing stories to get credit.
The proprietors of these stores, 1t
seems, compared notes yesterday and
had Mr.. Harwell arrested for misre-
presentation to get credit. Harwell
spent the period between five o'clock
yesterday evening and about 1880
last night in the city bastile, at the
end Of which time an arrangement
had been made between the police and
the creditors to give Harwell his lib
erty and allow him to continue in the
work Of sewer building. At one place
Mr.. Harwell told them his name was
Emmett Howard, at another "Sady"
and he goes under the name Of Har-
well to the city.
Mr.. Harwell's baggage and travel
ing effects are being held by the cred
itors and his pay check at the end Of
the week will go to them. He owed
Woods $12, Baxter Supply $3.50
and the Kitchenette $7.95. The differ
ent stories told is what precipitated
the action Of the creditors.

Friday was the day for the clos
Ing of the Baby Bond drive in Baxter
Springs. Figures compiled by the
rgl1i,t-e and the chairman f. Nj.
Richardson, shows that as usual the
town went over the quota by sub
stantial figure. The quota for Baxter
Springs was $4,000 and subscriptions
pledged total Sl5,497 over this amount
or $95,475.
AS nearly as can be determined at
this time about 95 per cent of the
people of Baxter Springs responded to
the call. Cases in which the parties
did not respond when they were able
will be handled in some way by the
committee.
There were T43 subscriptions which
show an average of $3.50 each. The
new plan for raising war funds as
demonstrated here in this drive has
proven highly successful and will
probably he permanent during the
period Of the war.
The work by local men and women
in the school districts adjacent to the
town was effective and swelled the

Spangled, star spangled.

The price Of thy fold,
Wave on and guide on
Our liberty hold.
Friendship and kinship,
Thy colors secure,
Rending and ending
Autocracy's lure.
Rainbow and halo,
The Red, White and Blue,
Bought by and sought by,
The brave and the true,
Blood bought and soul wrought,

Old Glory, Old Glory,
Peace save to the world.
