WAR IS SACRIFICE

This letter from a French sister to her brother shows the extreme sacri- fees being made by the women of France.
 My dear Edward
 The news has come that Charles and Lucien were killed on the 18th of August. Eugene is dangerously wounded. Louis and Jean both are dead. Rose cannot be found. Mother weeps. but she says that you are strong and she desires that you avenge the others. I hope your chief will not refuse to let you go. Jean had the Legion of Honor; you will win it. They have taken all. Of eleven who went to war. eight are dead. My dear brother, do your duty we only ask that. God who gave YOU your life, has the right to take it again, mama says. We wish to see you tefore you go. The Prussians are here. The Jawdon boy is dead. They have pillaged everywhere. The cow ards! Go, my dear brother. make your sacrifice. We cherish the hope of seeing you again: something bids us hope. We embrace you with all our hearts. Adieu and au revior, if God wills.
 Your Sister.

 The women of America, too. stand ready to bear their share of the pres ent allied sacrifice for liberty and right
 They have neither time nor inclin- ation for idleness and selfish living. They are ready to practice thrift. No longer are they living to eat but they are eating to live. And they have found they can live on much less than they thought necessary This reduc- ton in consumption is by no means endangering health but is making 10: a better and sounder race
 Not only have the people Of .,1i.srit,a learned that they can reduce the amount they have been accustomed to eat without any real inconvenience bus they can also give up the things they had thought vital in their diet and substitute little known foods which have the same food values.

 OUT OF UNITED STATES

Accordin to the Winnipeg Herald of recent date. really communistic sect, the Moravian Anabaptists, have begun to settle in Alberta, and are to be seen in their quaint attire in trains going west.
 Michael Scott, Winnipeg land man says that when they all arrive the total will be about 1000.
 A settlement has been started south of Macleod and another south of Leth- bridge.
 These Anabaptists are Mennonites, who rigidly adhere to the communis- tic plan of living. All is held in com mon in each community of 20 to 30 families.
 The Moravian Anabaptists dress in enc garb. The men wear short jack

 The sect is noted for industry, ad- vanced methods of agriculture and livestock breeding and it is expected that they will prosper in Alberta. They have been living in colonies in South Dakota and Montana.
 It is claimed that the Moravian An abptists are the oldest of the commun- istic societies in existence today.

Struck-Andrews Wedding

The wedding of Miss Verna l..
Andrews, daughter of Mrs. N. c..
Anderson, to Mr.. Bernard Struck,
son of Friedrich Struck Of Rendsville
township, occurred Tuesday at the
Lutheran parsonage in Morris, Rev.
Gustaf A. Pilgrim officiating.
The bridesmaids were Miss Lille
Mau of Rendsville township and
Minnie Andrews of Framnas town
ship. The best men were Friedrich
Struck and Anton Mau.
Miss Andrews has lived with her
mother in Framnas township for
fifteen years and is well-known in
this community. Mr.. Struck has
been resident of the county for
about 80 years and is farmer,
owning nice farm of his own in
Rendsville township. The happy
couple will make their home on Mr..
Struck's farm in the future

farmer his neighbors refused to
'neighbor" with him, when he
needed help he couldn't get it, When
he wanted to borrow an implement,
there was always some reason why
it couldn't be loaned. If he was
business man his trade began to
leave him, and when he wanted to
borrow money he found that those
who had money to lend would not
accept his paper no matter how
much security he had to offer. To-
day the word Stacker" has the same
obnoxious sound that the word
"Copperhead" had in days of old.
There have been. strong demands
made by the public to have a list
published of the names of those who
are not doing their part in this war;"
Mr.. Stever further stated that such
a list would probably be published
at the close of the campaign, as it
is only fair that those who give and
sacrifice should know the names of
those who do not. He said that a
large number of people had spoken
to him of the matter, and had made
the request that this be done.

GERMANS WERE AFRAID
OF NEGRO SOLDIERS
So Writes Geo. Abel in Interesting
Letters to His Parents in
Morris

Geo. Abel, Jr., son Of Geo. Abel of
the Northwestern Telephone Co. of
Morris, is one of the boys who is in
service in France, and in letters
which he recently wrote to his par
ents he seemed to be very enthusi-
astic about getting the kaiser"
However, he will have to go to Hol-
land to get the kaiser now, but it
is likely he will give up the chase
and return home with the boys az
the first opportunity. His letters
are interesting and parts of them are
printed below:
"You no doubt have heard about
my safe arrival in France by this
time, as I have been here for quite
a while. We had a fine time on the
way over and altho I was sick fer
the first couple of days, I soon got
over it, I might tell you little
about France. 1t is far backward
compared to the U. S. All of the
buildings are built of brick covered
smoothly with cement and have
wooden shutters on the windows. All
of the streets are paved with small
stones laid in cement. I rode thru
che of the towns the other day OH a
large truck and we saw some OF the
most beautiful churches, all bu,lI OF
granite and even the steeples were
decorated clear to the top. I saw
some very fine houses also, and most
of them have iron or stone fences
around them, and all have beauti-
full gardens filled with flowers. 1t
would be fine if you could make a
visit here after the war is over.
ct saw a number of German pri-
soners last Monday and they we're
eager for the war to stop. I gave
one cigarette for two shoulder
straps from his uniform. Many of
the prisoners were mere boys, so
they must be nearly whipped when
they take them so young. I talked
to German who had just come from
the front and he said all the Ger
mans were afraid of the negroes, so
they must be some fighters.
"The funniest thing I saw here
was an old woman with wooden
shoes. She had a clothes basket on
her back and was knitting while she
walked. She was sure some juggler.
All of the people over here wear
wooden shoes, and it is easy to dis
tinguish the poor from the rich. The
wealthy are always clean and dressed
up.
Things are very high here and

everything else in proportion.

ceive mail from home now, and let

IS miles from here, where we stayed
all night. While at this town we
stocked UP on canned goods, jam
and syrup. We generally have to
eat bread without butter and the
jam and syrup helps lot.
According to the news we are
getting about peace, it begins to
look as tho we will be going home
before long. Say hello to my many
friends. and I hope to see them all
soon."

see. Morris will probably go over by
hundred dollars or more if those
yet to be seen are as generous as
the ones who have already made
their subscriptions. One remarkable
thing about this campaign is that
nearly all the subscriptions are in
cash. The most spectacular achieve
ment in the campaign in Morris was
the work of Mr.. E.. J. Jones and Mr..
D. H. Lawler. They went. out on
their trip and returned with $4,000
all in cash.
No definite report has come from
the other districts up to the present
time.
Mr.. Stever, chairman of the I'm
tied War Work Committee of the
county, has the following to say re-
garding the drive: "a remarkable
thing about the campaign is the re-
lative1y small number of refusals to
give There are very few slackers
in Stevens county, altho of course
there are some, as the committees
have found. These will probably be-
come conscious of their mistake as
the months and the years go by, for,
no man has been able, when his
country has been menaced by anoth-
err, to hinder that country in any
way and ''get away with it." In
the days of the Civil War, the man
whose loyalty was an uncertainty
was called a Copperhead, and his
children for the next generation
were known as Copperheads. The
Copperhead is a snake that strikes
silently, and without any kind of
warning. The Copperhead of the
Civil War found no place in the af-
fairs of those of whom he should
have been a part. If he was a

SGT. ]. F. MUNRO ON
EXPLORING FRANCE
Has Slept in Most Of the Barns of
Northeastern France-Made a
Record Shot

Sgt. J. F. Munro, writing from
France under date of Oct. goth
says
Things are running along about
as usual. Plenty of work to do and
surely not long enough in one town
to get tired-o the scenery. We get
into village, are assigned to billets
(barns) and the first morning is
generally put in in cleaning up and
a detail looking for a rifle and
grenade range. Have chance to use
the range about one day then it's
roll your packs and be on the line
ready to move. Guess that If we
keep on much longer,I will have
slept in most of the barns in north
eastern France.

were the only ones in the game now.

some ducks this fall. Day before
yesterday I had my platoon on a
small maneuver in wood near here

Took a shot at it with my automatic

sure that did no more shots at any
target to chance spelling my record.
I'm going to play safe now when any
of my men are around.
Turned down two chances to go

fected," the report continues In GER
tain Eastern camps where the disease
first appeared comparatively few new
cases are now being reported The cpl
demc appears TO be at its height in
camps Of the Middle West.
Northern cantonments have suffered
most severely The disease as II APP
peared in the South has been less fire.
Gueutly complicated by pneumonia and
therefore less fatal. The numbers OF
deaths and new cases reported daily
continues TO show an Increase In view
Of the number of camps now infected
