Mrs. Horace Holmes Receives
Two Letters From Her
Husband.
At the front.
September 9, 1918.


My Dear Wife:
Just a few lines to let you know
that l am doing fine and do truly
hope you are enjoying your dear self
to the highest.
I have been up to the front for
some time and l like to be up close
to the big guns. Sometime things
get real lively up there but you can't
be a soldier if you can't stand the
powder, so l am trying to get used
to it. This is no joke certainly
didn't feel safe at all the first night.
l could not think of sleeping at all,
but now the oar of the guns just
puts me to sleep just as anyone
would rock a baby to sleep. Now you
can believe your 7art about that tale!
We have beea attacked by gas sew
eral times but no damage done for
we are always ION the job" and in
fact we are too quick for the Ger
man boys, for we think about them
when they are asleep.
Ora, l have had the pleasure Of
seeing some good ajr raids and al
most every time our American boys
bring the German planes down. I tell
You the Germans put up a good
fight, but yo,. well know they can't
do anything with tie Americans, can
they?
l am in hopes of being back home
before long for l just came over to
help the boys clean up the Germans
and then come back to my dear wife
and loved ones. So l don't think it
will be very long before we car COM
plete our work or that is what we
are hoping with ali our hearts, and
l do truly hope we won't be disap-
pointed, don't you?
Well, tell all I will write as soon
as l set a cnance. Give my love to
all.
Your devoted husband.

A Group Of Interesting Letters From Our
Soldier Boys.

harp while you seconded on the pia-
no. Ican't help thinking CT you but
l think our happy days have passed
and gone.
/ wrote Mother and Father a let
ter today. Sallie l never will forget
the last time ! was at your home and
the nice breakfast you fixed for me.
I certainly hope it will be so that l
can get back to see you all soon
again. Tell Brother John "Howdy'
for me, and Uncle Johnnie, too. l
am a long way from home but am
hoping some day to get back.
l can't think of anything much to
write this time. You must write me
all the good news. What does Uncle
Johnnie think about the war?
Well, l will have to close for this
time. With much love to you. Answer
real soon.
Your loving brother,

Nv Dear Ora:

My Dear Ora:
I am again writing you a few lines
this morning to put in with the one
l wrote you yesterday as I did not
have a chance to get it off and We
are going to move to another point.
AS Il do not know when l will have
the opportunity 1 am going to, make
good use of this.

P. S. Write every chance you get.
You don't know how much l enjoy
getting a letter from you and Mother.

The Governments conservation program makes
it necessary to suspend the beverage business OF the
AnheuSer-BuSch plants. We consider 1t a privilege
to cooperate with the Government in making its war
program effective, and to comply with every request
and suggestion of the Government to the end that
German armies may be more quickly defeated and
German autocracy OverthrOwn-tO the end that an
enduring peace may be established that will insure
Justice and protection to all nations and all peoples
and make future wars impossible.
We stand Squarely behind the Government in the
prosecution of the to q DictOriOuS conclusion
We regard the sacrifices lUe are making amounting
to many millions of dollars Insignificant and in
consequential lUhen Ue think of the benefits that LDW
to the lDord under the terms of the unselfsh
and druistc aims of the United States as de-
fined By our President.
The ARheuSer- Busch BrelDing Association is pre-
ennently the foremost and largest institution OF its
character in the lUOrld has plants covering more
than SeDenyfDe city blocks in ST. Louis, and branch
houses in many other cities and foreign countries
The business of Anheuser-Busch IOorldLDide
Its highly efficient erecutiDe and sales organization,
far as conditions DiU permit, DiU be retained
ntdCt and after the LUdr for Democracy shall haze
been lDon, lOe shall be engaged again in useful in
duStry
The Anheuser-Busch plants are equivalent to city
IN themselves. They represent an invested capital
OF S6O,OOO,OOO There are many modern manufac-
turing units in the group of plants-one, the new
Bevoo bottng and shipping plant with equipment,
costing approximately $1000OOOO, and being the
best industrial plant of any character in the world
AnneuSerBuScn pays annually more tnan S3,UUU,-
600 in Federal, State and Municipal taxes.
Anheuser Busch employs at good wages from
5000 to $500 persons.
AnheuserBusch industries support nearly score
OF other useful industries of considerable magni-
tude.
During the period that Anheuser-Busch is out of
active business, shall take all necessary steps to
protect the good name of this institution which al
ways has stood for 100 per cent integrity and 100 per
cent efficiency. In the excitement of war false re-
ports and statements circulated with reckless dis

United States and widely advertised in newspapers
and sold with the full knowledge of the Govern.
ment. Many financial institutions and thousands OF
loyal citizens still own these bonds.
The bonds were sold by the same institutions that
sold French, English Italian and other war bonds.
They sold at "a cents on the dollar and recon-
mended by financiers as good investments, paying
return of nearly seven per cent
Some professional agitatOrS have undertaken to
make it appear that Mr.. Busch bought the German
bonds to aid Germany in making war on the United
States. When these bonds were sold it was publicly
announced that the funds were to be used to eStab
sh commercial credits for Germany in this country
credits such as the Allied countries enjoyed
through the sale of their bonds
The fact that this transaction lUds in October, 1915,
and that the United States did not declare Ddr on
Germany until April 1917, should set at rest the
ridiculous charges circulated principally BY paid
agitators reflecting on the loyalty of Anheuser-
Busch
Anheuser-Busch was founded upon the solid rock
of Amercanism and grew to be great institution
under the protection of American democracy. The
late Adolphus Busch, for many years its president,
laid the foundations of the character of AnheuSer
Busch broad and deep that this institution always
has represented in the industrial world vastly more
than beverage industry. The name of Anheuser-
Busch has been associated with, and will continue to
be associated with great industries in various fields
of manufacture finance, railroading, mining hotel
building and operation, etc.
The intensely loyal organization, created by Adol-
phus Busch, and strengthened under succeeding
hold American ideals of government and American
principles of fair play.
AnheuSer-BuSCh is ready to sacrifice everything
ercep loyalty to country, and its honor to serDe
the Government in bringing this to Dictorious
conclusion
We wish to express our gratitude to our dealers
and the thousands of loyal friends whose coOpera-
ton and support have been invaluable asset to
this institution We assure them that after the war
AnheuserBusch again will take its place among the
important and indispensable industrial institutions
of America.

regard for truth Anheuser-Busch has been the vic
tim, unfortunately, of many such false reports
In this connection we consider it opportune to so
clearly define the attitude of this institution and its
officers that there can be further for mis-
representation
AS an American institution, founded BY An1erl-
cans more than Sirty years ago, and CONTINUOUSLY
o,Dned and operated by Americans AnheuserB Busch
has Enthusiastically oppressed its AnerlcdnlSn1 by
subscribing to more than S3OOO,OOO of Liberty
Bonds and the contribution of S50C,OOO to the Amer
cGn Red Cross and other relief organizations of
the United States and the Allied cause.
EDery en1ploye of Anheuser-Busch-nore than
6OOO in nun1ber-S subscriber to Liberty Bonds
and contributor to the Red Cross and other
charities.
Asa further contribution toWard thinning the lDdr,
August A. Busch, president of AnheuSer-BuSch,
upon Americas entry into the conflict, voluntarily
cancelled all commercial contracts of the Busch
Sulzer Bros. Diesel Engine Co., OF Wlich he is preSi
dent and since that time the entire facilities of this
S3,50OO0O plant have been erclusiDely deDoted to
the manufacture of engines for the submarines Of
the United States NaDy The engines manufactured
By this plant are conceded to be the finest and most
perfect made anywhere IN the Uorld.
Mr. Busch also has arranged to lease to the Gov
ernment for the period of the war; one-third Of the
twenty-six acres of floor space of the new $1OOOO
600 BevO plant. .
The manufacturing facilities of the $6OOOOOOO
AnheuserBusch plant in part or entirety, have been
rendered to the United States until the end of the

AnheuserBusch on account of the purchase in Octo-
ber 1915-When this country was neutral-of some
German Government bonds by August A. Busch and
for the account of his mother, Mrs. Adophus Busch
The truth is that these bonds were purchased
eighteen months before the United States declared
on Germany, and at time when there was no
thought that this country would become involved in
the war;
The German bonds were sold by the principal
banks. trust companies and bond houses Of the

ALADDIN IS HERO
 OF NEW PAGEANT
Gifts of the Genie Are Riv- aled in Costuming of Bar mum S Bailey Opening Feature.

A new pageant, said to be some [ thing on a larger scale and more elab- orately costumed than anything be- fore attempted under canvas, will be | the opening feature of the Barnum & Bailey circus to be shown here June 21.
 Aladdin andHis Wonderful Lamp" is the title and, according to advance reports, it is as coloFful as the Chinese locale suggests and as spectacular as the narrative of supernatural wondesr might be imagined. More than one thousand persons take part in the presentation of the fairy story and all of the horses, camels and elephants of the big circus are effectively used in the processions which precede and follow the big scene. The wedding of Aladdin and the Princess Badroul- bourour is enacted in the centre of the circus arena where it can be seen from every seat The setting for this scene is described as a blending of color and symbolic effects that de- parts from historic exactness only on the side of beauty.
 In preparation for five years, the new pageant has costumes of silks, satins, brocades and handmade em- ,broideries that were made by Chinese workers in their native land and fashioned according to the dress of the day when the genie was at the beck and call of the boy who, through his possession of the magic lamp, gained countless riches and the hand of the fairest princess of his land. Each of the actors in the pageant is provided with various costumes to fit the DOT trayal of important incidents in the life of Aladdin.
