To MIR. and Mrs. Geo. A. Finley

To Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. A. Finley
Sept. 16, 1913.
Dear Folks-Well how are YOU all
getting along? Every thing is going
fine here as ] guess you know more
about the war than we do. Hardly
ever see paper and we are not told
very much war news. We have been
all around in England and are now in
France. Only in one place about "a
hours at o time ever since We got of
the boat. France is all right but no
England for me. /, of course, can not
tell you anything about our expert
ences in coming across and many 9TH
er things l would like to tell about
that would be very interesting on ac-
count Of the censor. Some may be cut
out anyway.
] guess I'll be driving motor on
the narrow guage railroad when we
get permanently located; either that
or one Of the officers cars. l am
classed as an auto man. and the COM
pany is composed of all railroad men.
Engineers and firemen, etc. l may
get q truck. I'd rather drive the big
trucks.
This is a funny country, seems to
me to be about 200 years behind the
times. ! don't know what other peo-
pie think Of It. The trains in England
are a joke beside ours. They are bet
ter in France. In fact ] think every
thing in general is better in France.
I guess this war will soon be over.
That's the opinion all around over
here. America has worlds Of men
moving here all the time-when they
all get to their right places there's
going TO be some doins.
i see lots of German prisoners all
around working at different things. ]
just went out TO see some more troops
pass. About 1000 negroes, they sure
look husky. ! don't see how this thing
can last much longer, If you could on
ly see the men and equipment our
country has over here you would sure
think the U. S. more wonderful than
you ever knew.
Wouldn't miss all this for the world.
The boys that stayed at home are just
out Of luck, that's all.
Ny address remains the same. Priv

Folks. Received q letter from yor
and one from Florence, also got the
five. Thanks.
I've given the kaiser another wal
klup; got another bond, that's SOD now
Believe ME, We are going to win th''
war if the soldiers and sailors have tC
nay their own expenses. I'm surprised
at Baxter, that she has been so slow
about going over the top, and going
crazy too when peace was rumored
No peace, say we Jacks, until uncon'
ditiOaal surrender. If the people al
home are tired Of the war what DC
they think about the fellows Ovei
there, and they don't want to come
back till they do q good job.
We boys here are not in a position
to fight yet, so every Jack is getting
a bond. We have already passed the
million mark, our quota, and we are
going to try to double It. Can the
people at home do as much? 1t will
mean to US Jacks going without pleas
ures and needs we are all willing to
sacrifice.
We went to review today, the first
real hard work, physical, since l got
out Of the hospital.
Tell those disbelievers in bonds that
their $50 bills are no better than
bonds, nor as good, for the bonds
draw good interest. So trade your
bills for bonds. -
Too bad the schools are closed I'll
bet the kids are sorry.
Pigg came in to see me the other
day and he is now looking fine' like
he had never been sick.
We draw clothes tomorTow-hat'
white suit, gloves, underwear, cap, hat
band. Chow pretty soon, so must
close. Lots Of love.
Your son, Ralph Pfremmer.

ten years Older. he had aged more
than / would have expected. There
were lines on his face which made him
took older than his thirty-three years.
In the outer world he was generally
believed to be one of the leading spir-
its Of the military party in Germany,
but among his own people he was not
credited with sufficient ability or In
auence to be much of factor. In
deed, within the past year he had been
criticized rather severely In army cir
cles for his Indifference to the crisis
In which his country was involved and
for not taking the war seriously
enough, and from all l was able to
observe of him during the visits he
paid me after the resumption of our
relations, these criticisms were well
founded. The newspapers, however.
which were naturally inspired, always
brought his name to the front when
ever the army he was accredited to
made any successful showing just as
they did in the case of the kaiser.
During his various visits to me I
tried to draw him out a little on diff
ferent aspects of the international sit
uation, but the ideas he expressed
were not OF much moment.
'"rhe allies think we will run short
of man-pOwer," he said on one occa-
sion. but we've got 100000 youths
growing up and Well soon be able to
put them in the war. There's no dam
ger of our running short of men, but,
really, l wish 1t were all over. This
war is lot of damned nonsense, you
know!" He talked as If the two mil
lion growing-up youths of Germany
were created for the HohenzOllerns to
use as they pleased.
Another remark he made which in
dicated how sadly he miscOnstrued the
epoch-making significance of the great
war in which the whole world was
involved was quite characteristic.

hoped that by the last of February
they will be fully equipped.
Non commissioned officers have
been selected and appointments will
be made next week, at which time a
list and rank will be published.
The extreme cold weather has made
it inconvenient to drill in the FAN
Grounds Building, so j. W. Spens
has kindly offered the use of his show
room, which is amply large to pro-
vide for two squads.

THE GOLDEN BELT ROAD

! Attention has been called to the
need for work on the Gold en- Belt
road. This road has come to be a
national highway as much as the
Lincoln highway, the Santa Fe Trail
or any other public road across the
country, and it traverses a country
much more able to keep it in repair
than any other road. 1t is up to us
who reap the benefits of travel to see
that every culvert is fixed, very bad
place put in order. The Golden Belt
is one of the assests of this northwest
country, to say nothing of its con-
venience. If there are places that
need attention this must be seen to
before the spring travel begins. This
road not only leads to a summer re-
sort, it connects our towns, and as
such it is our advantage to have it
put in condition before the spring
rains come again.-Salina Union.
