Our Boys Well Cared For.

DEAR MANA: was going to write to
you yesterday but was busy working
and so didn't have no time to write any
body but will write you nice long let
ter now.
Well Mama I certainly wisht you could
see how well and happy and everything I
am over here in Franse. / CUES if all the
mothers of America could see how well
there boys was took care of over here by
old U. Sam that they would all be glad
that there boys was in the army and not
staying around home putting in clames for
draft exemptun and trying to be army
slackers.
As far as you can see with the naked
eye there amt nothing that US soldiers here
in Franse lack. We got plenty good enuf
places to sleep on and our food now is
good enuf for the President or Secretary
in War or Mayer lillian or anybody else to
eat. Of corse it amt served up in no
Hotel -Rits stile but stile don't get you
nothing especuly in the army. Stile don't
stick to your ribs but good old fresh US
beat does and that is what we are eating
now.
1 CUES told you that the first few days
we was here in this billet that we was q
little shy on fresh meet and that we was
held down to Canned WillieA But that
was only until our ON got working right
and now we get about half beat day
for each company and it is the finest meet
that you ever saw, Mama.
Then We get plenty of fresh vegables,
like potates from Irelan which is about the
best thing that comes out of there now.
and fresh carrots and onuns and things
like that and good old America white bred.
Once in awhile to we get butter and then
we get quite lot of jams come in big tins.
Of corse soldiers would kick and COM
plane if they was being fed porterhouse
stakes as thick as your leg, but most Of
these birds that do the big kicking never ct
such food in all there lifes as there getting
now. bet there is about half the people
back home who are not getting fed as well
as we are and they are not no 3 thosand
miles away across no briney deep with
hum subs running around like shares try
ing to stab them in the back when they are
not loking.
Our white. bred, Mama, comes from the
division bake shop that belongs to our d.
vision and they bring it out to us every
day in wagons. l CUES the American
army is about the only place anywhere
over here in Euripe that you can get good
old white bred All the other mathis are
eating what they call war bred that looks
and tastes and weighs like it had fell into
a mud puttle and lade there all mite and
sooked up all the mud and water. But
Uncle Sam gives his boys white bred just
the same.
Well Mama l hope you got your service
flag with the star hung out. And don't
worry Mama because never was in such
fine fiscal shape in my life. Love to all
Your own, BESNIE.

WOMEN DID BIG PART
They Sold More Than IL Million Dol
y lars Worth of Bonds.

Wichita, Kan, Nov. 4.-The wo-
mems committee of Kansas for the
fourth liberty loan sold over $4,000
900 worth of bonds during the last
campaign. This announcement was
made here by Mrs. Henry Ware AL
len, state chairman of the womens
mittee. This is practically the
sam amount accredited to this organ
liza .on in the third loan but under ex-
listing circumstances the total is re-
markable.
The influenza epidemic which has
been sweeping Kansas wiped out the
campaign as planned by the women.
In the house to house canva ssing for
bonds lies the greater portion of the
womeTi'S work and this feature had to
be almost completely abandoned on
account of influenza. In towns where
the women were brave enough to try
to carry on this work, quarantine
cards kept them out of hundreds of
homes,

CITES TWO CONDITIONS
FOR LEAGUE OF NATIONS
Viscount Grey Declares Germany
Must Be Convinced Force
Does Not Pay.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, June 10 British Admiral
ty per Wireless Press).-The widest
interest will be evinced in a pamphlet
on "The League of Nations" writ
ten by viscount Grey of Fallodon.
who was secretary of foreign affairs
in the cabinet of Herbert H. Asquith
at the beginning of the European
war.
There Is more at stake in the war
than the existence of individual states
or empires or the fate of continent"
says viscount Grey. THE whole OF
modern civilization is at stake, and
whether it will perish and be sub
merged, as has happened to previous
civilizations of older types. or whether
it will live and progress depends upon
whether the nations engaSed in this
ers. learn the lesson that the expert
ence of the war may teach them.
Must Be Better or Worse.
1T must be with nations with
individuals in the great trials OF lie,
they must become He1 ii o. worse
they cannot stand still. They must
learn ana prunt ny .Apeii.i.>e ..-~
rise to greater heights, or else SINK
lower and drop eventually into the
abyss. If this war does not teach
mankind new lessons that will 50
dominate the thoughts and feeling of
those who survive it as to make new
things possible, then the war VIII be
the greatest catastrophe, as Wen as
the most grievous trial and suffefins,
of which the world has any record.
Viscount Grey lays down two prin-
cipal conditions which he says must
be fulfilled If the league of nations is
to be effective. The first Is:
"The idea must be adopted with
earnestness and conviction by the ex-
ecutive heads of states. 1t must be-
come an essential part of their prac-
tical policy, one of their chief reasons
for being or continuing to be respon-
sible for the policy of their states.
They must not adopt it only to render
such service to the persons whom 1t Is
convenient to please or ungracious to
displease. They must lead, and not
follow: they must compel, II neces-
sary, and not be compelled"
Must Convince Germany.
This condition, viscount Grey
thinks, is actually fulfilled as regards
the executive head of the United
States and is or will be found present
as regards the entente governments.
while Austria has publicly shown a
disposition to accept the proposal. AS
long, however, as military rule in
Germany continues, Germany will op-
pose league of nations, he says.
Germany has to be convinced" he
continued. that force does not pay;
that the aims and policy of her mill
tary rulers infiict intolerable and also
unnecessary suffering upon her. and
that when the world is free from the
menace of these military rulers with
their sharp swords, and mailed fsts.
Germany will find peaceful develop
ment assured and preferable to ex-
pansion by war, and will realize that
the condition of true security for one
nation is absence of security on the
part of all nations.
It'll Germany feels this to be true,
there can be no league of nations in
the sense intended by President Will
son."
