Here is message from Kenneth
King who is at Camp Taylor,
TO his mother.
We are certainly having a fine
time; 1t has been raining here about
all the time, we will be here about
two or three weeks then l don't know
where we will go but l think to West
Point We are all together yet and
will be for sometime. Well mother
we certainly have plenty to eat; we
have meat three times a day.

down here. also got the pillow you
sent me and certainly was glad to get
it. We are drilling everyday, but
when Saturday and Sunday evenings

just for a few hours. l guess it will
be long time before we will see

Soldiers ReYerie

We have printed letters from Pri-
vate C. L. Gray in previous issues in
which Mr.. Gray shows himself as a
soldier who thinks and can express
his thoughts in writing. Here is an
extract from a recent letter to his
cousin Miss Daisy King of this city.
81 wrote you some time ago but
am at loss to know whether you re-
ceived my letter. l am at present
well and as happy as could be ex-
pected. The days are beautiful and
life is still sweet; SO you see am
still on top and kicking and not one
of the war victims yet. But who
knows. it may be near, one never
knows. The end comes always un-
expected and life is snuffed out in
twinkling. Thirty years of peace
will never produce such history as one
wear of war like this and for US all,
will say, Notwithstanding the hard
ships life is truly dear to US all.
Even the men who have gone before
US were happy in their own way and
thew felt that it was good to be just
alive. One thinks in
deed with tender sympathy of those
on whom life seems to bear most:
The poverty stricken, the MANNED and
disfavored, the invalided who cry un-
vailing to the grand strength and
beauty they see around them. And
so its the wild moorland and the Eter-
nal Hills to the end of time; the
mountains, the wastes of sandy des-
ert and the interminable stretches Of
lonely ocean and the wilderness side
of our world answers so perfectly to
the wilderness side of ourselves.
Our souls are lost in the sea of time
or the mountains of the lands OF
dreams, but in the vaster horizon be-
yond, the fullness and sweetness OF
life.

'PRUSS|AN|SM PUTS
 NO VALUE ON WORD,
 SAYS MRS. LANSING
Cites Example of Bern storff's Duplicity and Knowledge of Hun
 Mental Attitude

Schenectady, N Y, June 1o.-"Prus- sianism and the idea of enduring peace among nations can never be brought into harmony; compromise cannot even be considered," Secretary Lansing de- ciared here today in an address as honorary chancellor of Union college for 1918. Instance after instance from his own experience were cited to prove his point, because, he asserted, Americans, even these intellectually equipped, have but vague ideas of the attitude which made Prussianism possible
 ''It IS a fact not generally known, said Secretary Lansing, that within six weeks after the Imperial govern ment had in the case of the Sussex given this government it's solemn prom ise that it would cease ruthless slaughter upon the high seas, Count Bernstorfr. appreciating the worthlessness of the promise, asked the Berlin foreign office to advise him in ample time before the campaign of submarine murder was re newed in order that he might notify tie German merchantships in American ports to destroy their machinery bo- cause he anticipated that the renewal of that method of warfare, would irt ali probability bring the United States into the war.
 How well the ambassador knew the character of his government, and how

perfectly frank he was. He asked Tor the information without apology or for direction. The very bluntness of ms message shows he was sure his sl- periors would not take offense at the assumption that their word was value less abroad and had been only given te gain time, and that when an increase of Germany's submarine fleet Swarranted the promise that would be broken With out hesitation or compunction.
 Tn view of this spirit of hypocrisy and bad faith. manifesting an entire lack Of conscience, we ought not to DC astonished that the Berlin foreign office never permitted a promise or treaty engagement deemed expedient."
 The causes of the war, MT. Lansing said, were simply the German desire for world domination.
 That was, and is the central thoug1t If Prussianisn, he said Tt excited the ctipidity of the governing and wealthy classes of the Empire; 1t oaz- zlad with its anticipated glories and ry it's promise of boasted racial superior ity the German millions who were to be instrumentalities of achievement.
 with a devotion and zeal worthy Of a better cause, they turned their energy into those channels which would aid che ruling class.
 ''We must go on with the war There is no other way. This task must not be left incubate, half done. We must not transmit to posterity a legacy of blood and misery. We may in this great con flict go down into the valley of shadows because our foe is powerful, and lnureo tc war.

NOT SICK ONE DAY SINCE TAKING II.
Mrs. Margaret Davies of Birmingham Tells Won- derful Story About
 Plant Juice

In order that any man or woman may derive a full measure of pleasure and sue cess from life, it is necessary that he or she should be possessed of health in mind and body. It is certain that the greatest thing in all this world is health; with out it a man can scarcely do anything worth doing; he can accomplish little that is really worth accomplishing.
 Attention to health then should take precedence over every other object. That which is necessary to secure 1t should receive consideration in preference to ev- erything else. For instance. the prepa- ration, Plant Juice, the new herbal stom- ack remedy, which is gaining such a following in Birmingham, where daily grateful people are testfying to it's mer- it's and recommending it to their friends. Recently the signed statement was re- ceived of Mrs Margaret Davies, who lives at No. 122 Waller street, Birmingham, l West End and who is a weii-knoWn church worker, having been a member | for the past 50 years She said

My druggist advised me to try Plant Juice, which I did. It helped me at once. and in short time I was able to eat any 1 kind of food. and I sleep the night through. T passed from my system a i monster parasite, called a Tape Worm. i which measured B feet in length, and j, from that day to this I have never had | a return of my old trouble. It certainly was a godsend to me and will never get through telling about this medicine,

Mrs John London. Chairman Woman S
 Work, Birmingham, Ala.
 Dear Mrs. London:
 During the past three months the rate of production of the chapters in surgical dressings department has been so rapid that we are having great difficulty In securing sufficient quantities of gauge.
 The result of all this enthusiastic work is that we have finally reached the point where, for the time being, the rate of production is outstripping our ability to obtain needed materials The factories which are to make the gauge are having difficulty in securing from the mills needed grey goods; that is, the cotton cloth from which gauge is made. In the meantime the chapters are rapidly using up the gauge which they have on hand, and have already exhausted the supply in division headquarters warehouse. Chapters are especially requested not to purchase gauge in the open market, al- though some still may be obtained local ly, but usually at exhorbitant prices As such purchases only prolong the diff culty of establishing q regular supply throughout the country, this request has been made of us by national headquar- ters, and I sincerely hope chapters will cooperate by complying.
 After taking the above into considera- tion I am closing the teaching centers throughout the gulf division so I will ask you to please discontinue having classes in your teaching center. The head instructor for your chapter is still to remain. but not hold any more classes. When your chapter receives special call for any one type of dressing I will at once send instructions to you to be given to the head instructor and she will call the captains of surgical dressings in the workroom together and give the needed instructions out. as the head instructor is the only one who has authority to in struct.
