Dear Mother:
Have written a line to Dewey and
now will add line to you.Even tho
haven't written very often I have
thought very very often Of you and
those good biscuits you make. i
haven't had hot biscuit for so long
that to taste one would be real won
derful; any way it wont be so long
before I will once again have the
chance. When Uncle Sam first came
over it was a dark prospect of ever
having peace, but in less than four
months the Yanks began their play
and at once the offensive was the
result leading from victory to victory
She has reached to almost decisive
victory. Old Glory shall not suffer
defeat! I am very we'll and over
coming the stiffness which con-
tracted while at the front. BY de-
grees 1 have travelled nearly all over
the eastern part of France, begin
ming in the north at Calais andup to
present at Lyon and others I can
name. I hope to visit Tours once.
Do you remember Wills I chumm-
ed with at school? He is there. /
saw Ebert Gum a while back, the
hospital he is assigned in was she'll
ed while saw and was speaking to
him.

SAYS POWER OF PRESS,
NOT GUNS, ENDED WAR

1.-THE power of the press, not the
power of armies, ended the war;"
said DR.. Eugene A. Crockett of Bos-
ton, now major in the American
Red Cross at Trieste, according to an
Associated Press dispatch.
He added hat he had INTERCEPTED
hundreds of prisoners of every ma
tionality who had returned from Au=
stria, and that all had agreed that
Austria's death blow was dealt
through the medium of the press by
President Wilson when he announc-
ed that he had recognized Czecho~
Slovakia as an Independent belliger-
ent state and power.
The press succeeded in sending the
news of President Wilson's message
through the dual monarcy where it
circulated among the people and SOL
diers. When the message reached
Prague, the Bohemians Immediately
ordered the Austrians to leave and
set up their own government within
twentyfour hours. The Austrians
realized that it was useless to resist.

PROVED SPIRIT
OF DEMOCRACY
Voluntary Basis Of Food Saving
Showed Heart of America
Beat True for Freedom.

To the voluntary service and sacri-
fee Of the American people must be
attributed the continued health,
strength and morale OF the Allied ar
xnies and the civil populace.
Upon this spirit Of service and sac
rtfes will depend Europe's fate in the
nonths 10 come. In the past year We
have carried out an expert program,
the magnitude of which is almost be-
yond comprehension. But with the
new demands that have come, with
the liberation Of nations freed from
German oppression, our exports must
be almost doubled. Instead Of. II $50.
600 tons, we must ship twenty million
tons Of food to Europe in the coming
year-as much as can be pushed
through our ports.
II the Allies had not been fed by
America, 1t would have been impos-
sibie for them to maintain their de-
Tense against Germany.
Meeting this world need on purely
voluntary basis, the American people
have cenclusively proved that denoc-
Yacy Ia a success ane that In time Of
need It will rise to Its own defense,
II there were no ether accomplish
meant to its credit the very fact that II
has shown the strength Of democracy
has In itself more than justified the
existence Of the Food Administration
In the eyes Of the world.
Less than four months after the
United States declared war the United
States Food Administrator expressed
his determination to meet Americas
food problem on basis Of voluntary
actioa and reiterated his confidence
That awakened democracy would prove
irresistible.
MANY thinking Americans" said
Mr.. Hoover, land the whole world
have been watching anIieusly the last
four months In the fear that demo-
cratic America could not organize to
meet autsoratic Germany. Germany
has been confident that it could NOT BIO
done. Contrary proof Is Immediately
at our door, and our people have al
ready demonstrated their ability to
mebilize, organize, endure and prepare
voluntarily and efficiently In many d.
rections and upon the mere word OF
&naDiratien aside from the remarkable
sssemblage Of eur Army and finances"
The history of the Food Administers
ton has clearly shown that the trust
OF those who put their faith In democ-
Bacy has not been misplaced

The customs of the French viir
layers correspond to our country one
hundred years ago, only instead of
log houses, one sees concrete of
lime and sand, also much tile and
stone work. The roofs are all flat

have seen many old relics of
past wars, such as pistols, sabers,
spurs etc. I had an old French
man show me the coat he wore in
he war of 1871. Have seen some
ancient clocks, furniture, the pendu-
lum of some of the old clocks, which
are gigantic in size, are from IL to
ii inches in diameter. The old
beds are curtained on three sides and
theposts of them reach to the CELL
ing. The wood is cherry or walnut

l am seeing many new relics OF
warefare in the form of Browning
and French automatic rifles, hand
and rife grenades, one-pounders and
trench mortars. Gas masks are
modern too you know. We have
been practicing new battle front
formation Of French origin. We ad-
vance by waves, each wave having
in each platoon two squads of bomb
ers and laisons, one squad of auto
rifiemen, one of rife grenadiers, and
two squads of rifemen and bayonet-
ers. We are studying musketry in
Guiding ranges, targets, destination
of targets, distribution and superior
ity of fire etc. All of them are not
ancient, but the latest.
You are indeed doing a great work
in organizing Councils of Defence in
the community and county. I must
say that Highland county has fur
nished more than her share of men
and a full supply of Red Cross and
Y. NJ. C. A. money and material. 1
don't appreciate these as much here
as would at the front. I suppose
wo are living in luxury here tho /
must say we work plenty.

Dear Father and Mother,
This has been a good day for
me- as it brought sunshine and a let
ter from home. One is about as
rare as the other. 1t was mailed Sep
Goth and made very good time. l
read them over hurriedly at first to
ind out what has happened, then l
read them slowly and absorb every
thing, then I would like to find a
quiet place where I could mediate
over what you have written, but
here is no quiet place over here. l
also received a copy of the Recorder
today, which I have read very thor
oughly, | saw two letters in it from
LLOYD Bird, I read them both, not be-
cause they were interesting, but
through curiosity, I wantd to re-
fresh my memory as to what l had
gone through. 1t made me think Of
a three days trip in box car, while
the description of the place reminded
me of many convenience which we
10 not now enjoy.
Judging from the papers believe
the American people ar more awake
than they were three monthsago. We
boys appreciate very much the back
inc the folks at home are giving us.
Since l last wrote you we have
had some changes here in the labra-
sory. As told you am on detach-
cd service with the Group laboratory
and have been more or less in charge
But I startd to tell you that the offic-
.r who was in command was remov-
cd,now Capt. Hopkins is in charge. l
believe that is all the changes. We
have the prospect of big laboratory
here if the war continues. Some
times the hospital is full and some
times not, as they send the patients
further back as soon as they can.
No, haven't been to Paris, we
passed within sixty or seventy miles
of it. We are long ways from
there now. I am not particularly
anxious to see it. There is one place
l do want to see though and that is
either New York or Newport News.
There is talk of peace now, Ger
many has been defeatd but whittier
they are willing to submit to the AL
lies terms remains to be seen, until
they do we will stay here, but when
they submit then that homecoming!
The Y. M. C. A. held services out be-
side one of the buildings yesterday
evening and sang quite a number of
the old familiar hymns. They are
something that sound the same
everywhere you go.
Pray that I may always be faith
full to my duty.
Hoping that you are both we'll
and happy, Best love,
Your loving Son, Lloyd Bird

Dear Folks:

Dear Folks:
got four letters today form
different members of the family. two
from home and one from Sallie and
Medea and Sudie. All were dated
Oct. and 8, so they made the trip
in the record time of 20 days. I have
been receiving your letters regularly
and surely do enjoy them.
Elva told me of the Spanish flu,
stating that nearly every one had it
and that churches etc had been clos
ed. We had the same epidemic here
the latter part of Aug. and first OF
Sept. 1t has about played out now.
Many cases ran into pneumonia and
caused numerous deaths among the
soldiers. More men are lost from
pneumonia than from all other dis
eases combined. 1t is the only dis
ease that I fear in the army. One
can easily take it from exposure TO
bad weather, especially when sleep
ing in pup" tents. I'm glad to say
we are in billets and have plenty of
blankets and good hunks.
The weather has been very pretty
now for several days. The nights
are cool but the days are warm. The
leaves are just turning and chestnut
coming out. and the vegetables not
frosted yet.
1t is great to look out over this
country, dotted with hamlets and
villages with intervening wood and
field. 1t all has dreamy aspect,
and causes one to have sort of UNI
expressed sadness, due probably to
the quietness and grotesque appear
ance of the places. Medieval his
tory is well exemplifled by the vii
lagos, buildings and architecture etc.

SHE LISTENED IN"

Inc Kaiser called. Ine Devil up
On the telephone one day,
The girl in central listened to
All that they had to say.
"Hello she heard the Kaiser's voice
Is old man Satan home?
Just tell him this is Kaiser Bill
That wants him on the phone.
The Devil said Hello" to Bill,
And Bill said How are you?
I'm running here hell on earth,
So tell me what to do"
The Kaiser said now listen,
And 1 will try to tell
The way that I am running
On earth modern hell.
1--WE saved for this many a year
And I've started out to kill,
That it will be modern job,
You leave to Kaiser Bill.
my army went through Belgium
Shooting women, children down;
We tore up all her country,
And blew up all her towns.
My Zeps dropped bombs on cities,
Killing both old and young
And those the Zeps didn't get
We've taken out and hung.
II started out for Paris
With the aid Of poison gas,
The Belgians, darn 'em, stopped us,
And would not let us pass.
my submarines are devils,
Why you should see them fight,
They go sneaking thro' the sea
And sink a ship at night.
II was running things to suit me,
Till a year or so ago,
When a men called Woodrow Wilson,
Wrote me to go slow.
"Ee said to me, Dear William,
We don't want to make you sore,
So be sure to tell your U-boats
To sink our ships no more
eve have told you for the last time
So Bill, it's up to you,
And if you do not stop it,
You'll have to fight us, too.
II did not listen to him,
And he's coming after me
With two million Yankee soldiers
From their homes across the sea.
Nov that's why I called you, satan
For 1 want advice from you,
I knew that you would tell me
Just what I ought to do"
"My dear old Kaiser Wilhelm"
There's not much for me to tell,
For the Yanks will make it hotter
Than l can for you in hell.
1--WE been a mean old Devil,
But not half as mean as you,
And the minute I get you here
I'll give my job to you.
"I'll be ready for your coming
And I'll keep the fires bright,
And I'll have your rooms all ready
When the Yanks begin to fight.
For the boys in blue will get you,
have nothing more to tell,
Hang up the phone and get your hat
And meet me here in hell.

Every American soldier in France
is to have the opportunity Of sending
Christmas greetings to relatives and
friends in this country through the
medium of Christmas cards to be
provided by the Red Cross. More
than 100000 Of these cards, which
are original in design and typically
American in spirit, have been for
warded to France and will be dis
tributed by Red Cross workers to our
fighting men in time to permit their
return TO this country for the
Christmas celebration.
The distributing of these cards
will solve the problem of how the sol
diers overseas are going to remember
the folks back home at Christmas
time. Many letters received by the
Red Cross from men in France show
that the soldiers have been giving
much thought to this question. AS
military and postal regulations will
make it difficult for them to send
gifts Of any Ind from the other
side, the Christmas cards will bedou-
bly, welcome. Some Of the best
known artists in the country contri-
buted the card designs to the Red
Cross.

time.
Have you all been getting my mail
I have not heard g word from you all

I guess the boys are about all gone
from around there are they not? Is
