A. L. Hollenbeck

Let us call your attention to
the announcement elsewhere OF
Judge Hollenbeck, the man who
has forged his way to the front
of the legal profession in one OF
the most compative centers in the
state.
Judge HolJenbeck's record ap-
peals particularly to Baca coun-
ty people. He was here in the
old days. For three long and
weary years which we bet were
the happiest of his very busy
life--Hollenbeck was citizen of
Springfield, and was in the first
democratic convention in tn e
county.
Judge Hollenbeck went from
here to Trinidad, since when he
has become one of the leading
lawyers of southern Colorado.
The Judge never held any kind
of office. and will greatly appre-
ciate any ft.vors shown.

Mr.. w. b. Roberts,
Rosedale, Miss.
Dear w. B.
am just in receipt of your let
ter of Sept. 9th. I practically get
no mail-going weeks and weeks
without single line. The lack of
mail is one of he worst things that
we fellows in France have to con-
tend with, and you have not the
least idea without experiencing it
what just a word from home means
to us. Those in Paris get along
very we'll I understand, but III
these outside places, particularly
in a big camp like this, we get lost.
This is by far the 1ergest camp of
its kind in all France. l am not
at liberty to say the vast number
of men we have here--coming aud
going at all times of the day and
night. Just mig glity machine that

life is OF course of little account in
The general scheme of things. l
do not mean that everything is not
done to safe guard the boys; but
in such all undertaking as this,
things that would appeal to us in
the States is of little account. 1t
is difficult to get the little things
that we take as matter of course
at home, but become of priceless
value here. l have not the slig ht-
est complaint to make. We fare
better that any army in the world.
One thing that rather gets us is
that in this cold weather we have
no fires, but we have plenty Of

The camp is agog lately with the
peace news. but the boys do not
want peace until the Hoche is
thoroughly beaten. They want to
give him some of his own medi-
cine; but they could not possibly
do the things that 1 know the
Germans have done. l know ab-
solutely, to my own satisfaction,
that OIL the Champagne front in
July when the French and Ameri-

sector there, that in one particular

pleasure of the Germans. The

A HAPPY DAY.

One of the happiest days in the
history of the world, for all of the
nations of the world, was last Mon
dav, November 11th, when the
news was cabled that an armistice
had been signed between the Allies
and Germany and that fighting
had ceased.
People shouted, cheered, laugh
ed and cried for joy. For many
months everybody's nerves have
haen strained because of relatives
or friends being at the front in
France or Belgium, and the relief
caused a great reactiou. Those
whose loved ones still live now
have great hopes for their safe
return home. OF course disease
may claim many yet, but the num-
ber will be very small compared to
those killed and wounded in bat
tle.. To those for whom peace
came too late to save their dear
ones, we feel the utmost pity.
Nav God comfort them in their
sorrow, aud may the knowledge
