URGES RAISING
FOOD CROPS
OFFICER IN LETTER TO SISTER
SAYS THAT ALL GROUND
SHOULD BE TILED.

Mrs. F. B. Thrall, 161 East Court
street, has received letter from her
brother, Capt. F. w. Patterson. with
the American Expeditionary Forces in
France. In his letter he states that
every acre of ground should be utilized
in producing food. There is very lit
tie waste in France, according to the
captain; even the torn battle fields
are being prepared for cultivation. Fol-
lowing are excerpts from the letter:
ANXIOUS ABOUT CROPS
"Your letter of November 80 receiv-
ed today. The Christmas package
came few days ago. and was much
appreciated. I am wearing the sweat
er and find it very comfortable in this
raw, cold climate. Possibly you have
heard that the colonel and l are tenn
porarily detached from the regiment.
We were sent across France to the
coast-some three or four hundred
miles nearer home than where we
were originally. We are at present
looking after the principal port of de-
barkation of our supplies, and the
landing of part of our troops. 1t is
rather unusual work for me but not
out of my line Of work, as my princi-
pal duty is to procure supply of the
right ballast, and good water for the
ships, and see that they are properly
ballasted. This means much more
than the word implies. It's quite a
all right. I hope the corn crop yields
better than anticipated. 1t looks as If
it would. We get daily edition of
the Chicago papers, which gives us
some Geographic reports and news.

somewhat in touch with home condi-
tons.

the food stuff possible. People here

this is war ridden country. There is
no waste-any place. Even on the

they are hauling out the fertilizers
from the stock cars that bring horses
and cattle to the troops, and are

waste of land or supplies is permitted.
There is more waste in one American
city than in all of France, l believe

KAISER HAS NOTHING
TO DO WITH LUTHERAN

clares The booklet. written by Rsv

president Of the synod, is en-
titled. The Lutherans Versus Hob
enzOllernism." In part il says:
at is a common impression in this
country that the kaiser is the eX-
ternal visible head of the Lutheran
church of Germany and, in some
manner is the head OF the Lutheran
church in America Tho founders
of the Lutheran church Of America,
Of which we are members, were per
secuted in Germany because they
would not tolerate government in
reference with their sacred rights
as Christians, and emigrated 70 the
United States in order TO escape the
thralldom of the German church
Ga
THE kaiser can neither bid nor
forbid, with either real or arrogated
authority, IN the Lutheran ChutCll o.
America. We owe him absolutely
no allegiance or obedience. either
religious or political AS final
proof of this, thousands of the young
men of our church have answered
the call TO the Colors and are serv-
ing under the Stars and Stripes in
the army and navy. And as we have
sent our sons so have we given our
dollars. With our boys in the
trenches to defend our institutions
we consider it our sacred duty TO
finance the war undertaking, as far
as in us lies, to assist in carrying it
10 a successful conclusion"
