Fate Stout, Bloomington RI.
1t is with sadness of thought
that | write you in regard to the
death of your brother Ferd. He
was killed September 22 by a
8 inch artillary shell, which ac-
cidently exploded. His company
was advancing through the
country where the enemy had
been, when one of his comrades
stepped on the shell causing the
explosion. Five lives were lost
by it, and some other wounded
was sorry that | did not get
to SEE Ferd after this happened,
but was some distance from
him when it occurred. When we
reached the scene he had been
taken to the cemetary and burrl-
ed. He had lots of friends
throughout our regiment, who
took care of his body, and they
would they have saved his life if
possible. But we can't tell when
our time is at hand. and when it
comes all the friends or earth
can't save us.
We all have our trials and tri.
bulstions to bear and one time to
go. If we die while doing our
duty in France, it is for our dear
old country and loved ones. This
is all we can do to be free again.
A friend to you all,
Willie Billingsley.
The following letter is the last
message received from Ferd
Stout before he was killed.

4years ago. He was born and raj

Ferd Stout was among the first

space in our grand old paper,
shall be glad to write once again.
We are now located at Camp
Mead, having arrived here, Thu
rsday, Nov. 7th,.
Had a very interesting trip
from Ft. Leavenworth, passing
thru Missouri. Illinois, Indiana,
Ohio, West Virginia and down
the historical Potomac to Wash
ington, d. c.
The mountain scenery from
Cincinnati to Washington is
grand. The Potomac stsrts, as
most all things do, with small
beginning, enlarging as it nears
the famous Chesapeake. Green
perpendicular walls of many
Stratas of stone stand on either
side, plainly showing by their
arched formation the wrinkling
of the earth crust as it cooled
ages ago.
The B. & O. railroad running
from Baltimore to Ohio, is one
of the roads of the U. S. well
marked by tunnels and tressels.
The number tunnels, | do not
know, but you scarcely get thru
blinking the smoke out of your
eyes from passing thru one until
you are right into another, to re-
peat the same thing over again.
Maryland is not only State
of history, but is an apple produ-
cling state, as you are convinced
by passing thru and viewing the
great orchards with large heaps
of blushing red fruit yet unmar-
keted.
Camp Mead proper. is located
about "a 4miles from Washington
ID. C. and about IL miles of Bal
timore, and very consoling to us,
we are granted weekend passes
to either of the places.
AS we are only in the canton
ments, which are newly constrc-
ted. wish to say that there are
a number of large stumps on the
ground that we are politely
brought around and introduced
to, but believe me it doesn't take
long sor a great bunch of them
to disappear before the husky
SammieS.
From the looks of the war
situation. it doesn't seem as tho
we are going to have to do very
much more X. P. duty, or dig
stumps either, Won't that
sound good to the khaki boys,
and not only to them, but to the
entire world which has anxiousIy
looking for peace for the past A
years,
May the glad tidings hastily
come, when once again the
sacred soil of u. S. A. which has
for the last 10 months been dre-
nched with mothers tears be
dried by the wings of the angels
of peace, as we'll as the war
ravaged countries of Europe,
and all peoples can again hear
ringing on their ears the glori-

May the blessings of heaven
rest upon all who are anxiously
desiring to know and do the ways
of right, not only in Jackson

my sincere prayer.

had to take this course alone.
Not word to his lonely heart
spoken, no embrace of his yonth-
full form by those he loved, but
in the midts of cold hearted STR
angers, he had to drink of the
cup of sorrow and grief. The
same cup that his Lord and Mas
ter had to drink when He thot
that his heavenly father had for
saken him. We know that this
must have been his Gethseminea,
yet he bore it without a murmur
or repine, and went forward to
duty in a patriotic and manly
way to do his bit for his country
and home.
Let it be said in honor and
memory to his service in behalf
of his country, that he has made
the Supreme sacrifice, by giving
up his life. But not without ex-
periencing the thrilling scenes en-
acted upon the stages of war.
He expressed himself in a letter
to his sister that he never would
be satisfied unless he got to go
across, and his death came on
his first voyage. He faced once
the most dreaded weapon of this
world war, the lurking subma-
rine. He felt the same thrill
of soul that his two million COM
rades of arms have felt that
have gone across. His ship con-
voying and protecting his COM
rades as they were going to the
front, made him in actual SER
vice for his country. Who kno-
ws how many times the signal
was given to the engineers and
firemen to steam up, a subma-
rine is sighted, and by an extra
effort on his part may so have
exhausted him that he contrac-
ted this deadly disease He
gave his life in a heroic and pa
triotic way, and at a time when
the service flag at his home was
just completed and put on dis
play, united with the other two
stars. They only stood a short
time, these three stars symbol
izing the three brothers that
were united in a service in be-
half of their country.
His death coming so soon is
almost unbearable, but we weep
not as those who have no hope.
He left a testimony, that brings
gladness to our broken hearts.
4
He sent in his last letter a mes
sage that will reach some poor
soul in sin. He said, Il go to
church every Sunday. | am a
christian, you need not worry
about me, | mean to do thing
that is right, and that is the
only way to get thru" In an
other letter he gave a message
in behalf of the church, stating
how much he always enjoyed
going to church, and that he
sure would have been glad to
have been with us during the
meeting at old Camp-ground
"for | do enjoy going to meet
ing" He further stated, Il 20
every Sunday at the camps.
Some of my comrades are very
wicked boys, but | don't near
to be led off by them"
His salvation has been brou.

church. and by his parenta

take courage and live more hol,

FUND WILL BE OVER
SUBSCRIBED.

New York-The financial report
of the Palestine Restoration Fund,
dated Feb. 18th, shows that about
three quarters of the first million
that the Zionists are raising for the
reconstruction Of a Jewish State in
Palestine, are already in hand. The
exact figure of that date was $745,-
581.42 From practically every
centre, the reports made by the local
committees are that the quotas al
lotted to the local organizations will
be oversubscribed anywhere from
Is to 500. The significant thing
about this campaign has been that
it has been conducted on lines quite
different from the "drives" to which
the Jewish public has become &C
customed recently. Without hys-
terra, without frenzied appeal, but
quietly and in dignifed manner,
the Zionist organizations throughout
the country have begun the business

The deceased was bern, raised and
spent his entire life in this county and
had always lived within few miles Of

honest citizen and was respected by
all who knew him. He had been a
farmer all his life. but had served as
constable in many instances. Not for
many years has there been trustee
Of the county who did not put IN his
hands the collection Of a portion of the
delinquent taxes. His conduct in that
capacity was SO faithful, careful ana
painstakipg that at no time was there
the slightest discrepancy in his ac-
counts. His treatment of the people
while serving in any capacity before
the public was both courteous and
kind yet he did not hesitate to dis
charge the duties of his position with
the utmost fairness to all concerned.
He leaves a wife and several child

chased the old home place where his
father was born known as the Wei
