Letter From France.

Writing to his parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
W. NJ. Nixon of Saratoga, Albert Nixon,
who is with the American Expedition
airy Forces on their excursion to Ber-
lin, says: A
II am getting along fine m you
need not worry at all. Am feeling fine
and have u good place to stay-better
than l had expected.
..fhe weather is fine here. but pretty
warm some days. One good thing
the wind never blows.
Eve are now located near a small
town and all the surrounding country
is pretty, with lots of trees everywhere.
France is quite different in many re-
spects than the u. s.. We see OK teams.

pecially the older ones. an dthe wagons
mostly used are drawn by one horse
and have only two wheels. The horses
for the most part are fine ones. and
they haul large loads when hitched to
the two-wheeled carts.
'The French all like their wine, as
that Is their national drink. Some of
it Is pretty good stuff, and Of course l
have sampled some of Ii to see what it
is like. Some kinds will make a person
drunk If enough is taken. There do
not seem to be any bad effects from the

rugged and healthy-even more SO than

Stock owners of this vicinity who are
inclined to argue with Marshal Phil
lips concerning his authority to tax VI
and impound range stock when found
at large within the town limits, should
be interested in the following item con
corning this question, which was settled
by District Judge Metz in Park county
Wyoming:
Judge p w. Metz settled the contro-
versy in which Il. Il. Newton c%ontended
that he should not pay h pound fees
assessed against his stock, which the
city Officials had taken up while run
ming at large within the city limits, by
assessing the costs of the action against
MI. Newton and ordering him to pay
the pound fees.
THE question of when is stock range

of the matter. Mr.. Newton claimed

Making Progress at Elklhorn.

G.. II. buchanan came in yesterday
from the Elkhorn mine. where he had
been for several months past, assisting
Engineer LaSalle in his preparations
for putting the mine III II working ba-
sis. Mr.. Buchanan reports that good
progress is being made, considering the
difficulty in securing laborers and the
necessary equipment for carrying on
the work. \ large part. OF at least the
heavier portions of the milk concen-
TRAITOR and other machinery recently
purchased by Mr.. LaSalle, are still at
Hanna, and will not be transported to
the mine until II section of new road
has been completed, after which the
30-ton tractor i'll use at the mine will
be- able to bring the heavy castings in
without danger of accident. The pres
emf road is not safe for heavy trans
portation and Il icy road around the
worst portion is now in course of CON
l%struction.
Mr.. Buchanan states that recent de-
velopment work at the mine has un-
covered the vein of ore which was lost
i'll IA fault at she old workings, and
that a sample Of this ore sent to Den
yer for assay a week or two ago showed
a mineral value of S15 to $50 per tor
in copper and Sc per ton in gold.

Pits and Shells for Gas MASKS.

The war department has requested
all boys and girls, and the boys and
girls clubs of the country. to help in
collecting fruit pits and nut shells, the
carbon from which is used in making
gas masks. Each is urged to collect
at least 200 peach pits, or seven pounds
of shells-enough material for one
mask.
Since more and better carbon is Sc
cured from the pits of peaches, prunes
and plums han from any other sourc-
es, the boys and girls should make it
their special business to see that every
home in the community saves the pits
from these fruits. Seeds from dates
and olives are also wanted, as well as
The shells from all kinds of nuts.
These materials may be delivered to
the local Red Cross rooms, which will
be the central station for collecting
and shipping.

MORE ABOUT LOCAL GAME LAWS
Ranchers and StOcEumen Are Interested
in a Revision Of Some Sort TO
Protect Game and Stock.

There seems to quite n general feel
ing among residents of this region that
some revision of the game laws apply
ing to this portion 0f Carbon county,
at least. would be of benefit in II mum
Der of ways. An item on this subject
was published in The Sun n few weeks
ago, since which time we have received
II number of communications on the
subject, principally from ranchers and
stockmen, all of whom seem to favor IA
change of some sort, with the two-fold
idea OF protecting the small game
against complete extinction and at the
same lime giving added protection to
live stock on the ranches by reducing by
high license or otherwise the number
of hunters in the fields during the sum-
mer and fall. One prominent tock-
man of the upper valley writes The
sun as follows:
II read with pleasure your article on
page % u of the August l issue of The
Sun entitled. Game Law Needs Fix
ing" 1t is short and to the point and
What the writer has had i'll mlnd tax

game laws, or perhaps it would be bet

NO TIME TO TALK OF PEACE.
Uncle Sans Boys in France Have No
Notion of Leaving The Job When
1t is Only Half Completed.
(From "The Stars and Stripes
Published in France.)

American doughboys charge a ma
chine gun nest across an open field.
Some fall, but the others press for
ward. They come to their objective ut
the point of the bayonet, only to find
the beaten Hun. with uplifted hands,
crying, "Kamerad ,"-but with a gun
or knife concealed, ready to violate his
plea of surrender. +
This is the true Hun spirit-the spir-
it back of the kaiser and his court.
With the power of the offensive pass
ing from him, he is now merely waiting
for another chance TO lift up his hands
with the cry of "kamerad" or peace
Peace-with part of the loot still
i'm his possessioni 8Peace-with only
a thought of German gain or German
victory through craft OF deceit Peace
with the hidden knife ready for its
sudden and tr~eacherous thrust!
Peace? In the A. L. F. there will be
no thought of peace, no whisper of
peace, no dream of peace until the Hun
is beaten TO the dust.
The fighting lines sweeping their way
forward through machine gun fire are
no talkinIeace.
The fighting lines and the workers
through the s.. O. S. are not thinking
of peace. Their single thought and
dream is victory. They see ahead
through the battle smoke only a saw
age enemy to humanity whipped unit
he is ready to quit and take up his
share of the work for civilization.
Let the weak-hearted. who are
dreaming of a compromise
Let the pacifists. who are talking OF
t'peace agreements
Let the side-liners, who have 'had
enough war
Let the secretly inclined pro-Ger
Mans, who think "this great tragedy
should end without a decision
Let them one and all nov once and
for all That for the A. f.. F. there is
no such word as peace with the Hun
unbeaten. The man who talks of peace
today, except through victory, is
traitor. He is fit only to face tht
firing squad!

Casper Families without Flour.

Because they are charged with hav-
ing wasted wheat flour substitutes, the
families of y. and S. Stone of Casper
will be compelled to live during the re-
mainder of the war exclusively on
wheat substitutes, because they were
wasteful of the noun of substitutes
allotted to them under the general food
ruling.
Complaints We're made to the food
commissioners that the Stones had left
several sacks of substitutes out of
doors TO be spoiled by the elements.
The women claimed to the local FOOD
administrator that the products were
wormy, but analysis disproved their
statement. and State Food Administra-
tor Diers closed the case by forbidding
merchants to sell flour to the Stones.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
MARKET WAS DEPRESSED.
Prices Were at the Worst in the Lat
 ter Part of the Trading.

New York, May 23.-Downward re- adjustment of quoted values continued to feature today's stock market until teh last half hour, when a spirited rally in United States Steel and few other leaders caused a firm close.
 New clements entered into the tech nical situation at the outset of the session. created by the failure of the war board to advance copper prices and the more serious consideration ac- corded war bulletins from the western battle front.
 Rails again expressed the change n speculative sentiment occasioned by the governments plan of unified control and bullish a"dor suffered further restraints from Washington advices bearing upon increased war taxes.
 These and related factors, including the failure of the Baldwin Locomo- tive directors to act on the common dividend. gave the short interest a pretext to attack the general list, which reacted one to three points in the several recessions.
 Prices were at their worst in the latter part of the trading, but Steele's vigorous rebound from 106 5-S to 109 1-2, a net gain of practically two points. served as a warning to the bears, who covered urgently.
 The sharp upswing was equally ef- fective in other industrials and equip ments, also many specialties, includ- ing Sumatra Tobacco, which recovered a new maximum on it's extreme rise of 3-4 to 134.

HIGH SCHOOL LEAGUE.
Webster Has Northern Division Pen nant Practically Cinched-N. F. A. Leads in Southern Division.

With the victory of the Academy over Westerly High School Wednes- day the triple tie in the Southern Di- vision is close and is by no means settled yet. Stonington plays Wester- ly at Westerly Memorial day and should they win then they will tie the Academy. If they lose they are tied with Westerly. In any case the deo sive game of the league will be the Stonington-N. F. A. game at Norwich on June 4 Should Stonfngton defeat Westerly this game would give them the championship. If they lose 10 Westerly and then win this game the league becomes tied again. N. F. A. must win this game to win the pen nant. They have already beaten Ston- ington in the first game but by the narrow margin of one run. Sayles the stellar third baseban for the Academy will probably be back in the game on this date and will ma terially strengthen the Academy in field
 Bartlett High of Webster has gone through the Northern Division live cyclone sweeping all before it. They have won six games and lost but one. This was the game with Southbridge &t Webster and was later protested but the score was not reversed Web ster lost this game by the narrow margin of one run. Killingly the second team has just possible chance to cop the pennant but they do not appear to be as strong as Webster Webster leads the league in all de- partments. Evans, her star pitcher leads the league with four won and one lost, The three leading batters are all from Webster JaweU 543 Pu- sack 531 and LaBonte .510 LaBonte of Webster leads with 17 stolen bases and Hederman of Webster is second | with 14.
