opening OF the second year of participation in this

THE SITUATION Is CRITICAL

The situation is indeed critical 1t is far
than anything known since time began. On
side is autocratc government under the absolutely
complete domination of few INSCRIPTIONS, ambitious
men, crazed with the ambition to rule the world, and
backed by the best armed equipped and trained army
the world has known. Backed by As years of
preparation made under the very eyes the world
intended to conquer, Germany is indeed to
the world. The terrible and resourcefulness of
the German nation is almost uncanny. The rulers
care less human life than the ordinary
for nanmate things and the poor dupes who ruled
by this autocratc being hurled forward to
slaughter with conjunction the part of those
sponsibe for their deaths
The allies have we'll equipped and brave army

Mrs. Patriae Anderson is in receipt
of letter from her brother, Albert
McGhan. who is in the navy and serv-
ing on a transport running between
the United States and France which is
taking troops to the battle front. The
letter was written in France one day
when he had shore leave, but was to
return to America the next day, and
the letter was evidently brought back
to America and mailed, for it bears
the postmark of New Haven, Conn.
With the letter was four-page news
paper, about by IA inches, which
was printed Oh board the ship. The
letter follows:
