TELLS OF CIVIL
WAR CAMP LIFE

A glimpse Of soldering in Civil
war times is given in a letter writ
ten Feb. Is; 1863, by S. M. Gedney
at Columbus, KY, to his cousin,
George Aldrich of West Salem, Wis.
Both men were upcles of Mrs. Leslie
Welter, Moorhead, and the letter was
found by her cousin, Frederick Nell
son Taylor, among his uncle's pa
pers.
The wide difference between pres
ent day warfare and In the sixties
is emphasized by a sketch at the
bottom Of the letter. 1t shows a
tent ito accommodate six" who are
shown sleeping three headed each
way with the first mans feet oppo-
site the next mans head.
While they had good things to
eat, camp conVeniences were lacking
and there was no Y. M. c. A. or
other hut for recreation Or letter
writing.
The letter follows:
Camp at Columbus, KY, Feb. 25,
1863.
Friend George: Here am on the
sacred soil of the South where ev-
cry man Is a gentleman and all he
requires is to be let alone. We are
canped on a ridge about 200 feet
above the city and it is a very nice
situation for a camp. The works
extend about two miles back and
We are placed on the left. We have
a ten-inch columbiad and two long
80 FOUNDER cannonades to look after.
Cur pickets extend three miles back
and we have nice times standing
picket. We are 80 hours out, rain or
shine, without any shelter and it has
rained every day we have been here
except two. We have good, soft
beds in the mud which is knee deep.
There are lots Of contrabands
(negroes) hereandthey are the most
miserable lot I ever saw. They aare
dying off like rotten sheep as they
don't seem to know how to take care
of themselves.
q never felt better than do
now; weigh 100 pounds and don't
think that anything short Of bull
let will stop my career. 1 like this
place the best of any I have been
in yet. We have good living-get
hard tack, Old Ned, bacon, hominy,
rice, beans, coffee, etc.
'I don't think much Of the girls
down here. They are the most shift
less, lazy set ever saw. Last Sun
day l saw the folks going to meet
ing. The old man was on one horse
with the boys strung before and be-
hind. The old woman rode the same
way with the girls. '''
I'VE don't know'how long we shall
stay here; some of the boys are
anxious to go farther down the river.
II must bring this to a close. 1t
is raining very hard and my paper
is wet. You must write me a long
letter. wrote to Flora from Camp
her she must not get
mad. Give my respects to all hands
and keep large share for your
self. 49,.

Calls Police
For PrOWLeYS;:
Finds His Wife

If you are at home in bed and
your wife is away. and you are
awakened in the middle Of the night
by suspicious noises, make sure that
it isn't your wife before you call
the police. This is the advice Of A.
r. Watkins, city auditor.
At midnight Friday night, Mr..
Watkins was awakened by what he
believed to be attempts to break
into the house. He called The police,
but before their arrival heard the
voice of Mrs. Watkins, who with
bheir daughter, Miss Grace, and
brother in-law and sister, Mr.. and
Mrs. w. L. Dinius, had just arrived
from Avalon, Mo, by automobile.
The party left Avalon last Tues
day morning, making the 75O-mile
trip without mishap. The roads
from Des Moines, Ia, to Fargo were
fine, Mrs. Watkins said today.

Begin to Fear
american POz0eY

Amsterdam. June 29.-The notable
speech delivered in the German
reichstag this week by Deputy Hugo
Haase, the independent socialist, in
which he vigorously attacked the
governments foreign policy and al
luded to the growing Importance Of
the American military effort, is given
considerable space by the semi of
fetal Nord Deutsche Allgemeine lei
tung. It's version Of the speech is as
follows:
'Dr. Helfferich and Admiral Won
Capelle'', said Deputy Haase, told
US in 1917 that the United States
would be unable to take any further
part in the war and that it's military
Importance was nil.
To-day there are 10000 Americans
on French soil and nothing, has been
heard Of any U-boat booty in the
shape Of American transports. The
speeches Of Count Won Westaro and
Herr Stressemann, regarding Ameri-
can powerlessness must therefore be
taken with the greatest distrust."
