Under date of Boston, Nov. II.
Verne Thomas, of the U. S. S. Della
ware, writes his parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. c.. NJ. Thomas, Blanche avenue
S, as follows:
Il am on liberty now 1t has been
raining all day and there is not much
doing. This is my second liberty and
will probably be the last n for a
while. We are going out on the rifle
range. We had elementary practice
before coming into the yards. No. l
gun, of which l was in control, made
a hit Z which was the only made.
l vas awarded a prize of $40 and the
money was paid to me yesterday and
believe me Capt. Scales gave us a
fine compliment. Guns 4, 10 and IL
secured second prizes, $40 without
the f. This gives us the honor of
wearing a gold V upside down with
the navy E on our left arm. The V
b two inches deep and two and half
inches wide. This is some decora-
tion and makes q fellow wonder what
is going to happen next. Love to

Wires DEFECTIVE
DISASTROUS FIRE AT ELK POINT
MONDAY.

Elk Point, Nov. 21.-Fire, prob
ably caused from defective electric
light wiring, partially destroyed the
First National Bank building in this
city Monday morning at 6 o'clock.
The building is probably a 40 per
cent loss, as most of the root and
part of the second floor were burned.
1t was fully covered by insurance.
The bank furniture and fixtures were
moved without loss and the officials
expect to IL business immedi-
ately in the bank by building a tenn
porary roof. The law office of Thos.
McInerny was destroyed with only
partial insurance. The general mer-
chandise store of s. G.. Thornton was
a SO per cent loss with 80 per cent
insurance. The dental office fix
lures of DR.. A. j. Kimmel, who is in
France, were a total loss as was the
furniture of DR.. W. p. Bushnell, who
is in the service.

GERMANS BACK
TO GERMANY

With the American Army in Occu-
patton, Nov. 21.-With the eXcep-
tion of a few laggard units, the last
of Germany's armies disappeared to-
day behind their own frontier. From
the villages located in the narrow
strip of unoccupied territory between
the American and German forces
came reports during the day hat the
stragglers last night and early this
morning had engaged in looting.
Appeals were received from the
inhabitants that the advancing Amer
leans hasten to their relief. Investi-
cation proved, however, that the vii
layers were more excited than injur-
ed and that most of the damage be-
ing done by the little groups of Ger
mans was to the Germans own stores
of food and clothing.
Such was found to be the case in
the hospital at Longwy, where was
located the 32nd division headquar-
tiers. Six wounded Americans were
found there, three of them officers
Two were aviators reported missing
in October. They were flying low
when attached by six Fokkers anc
forced to land within the enem,
lines.

NO new PEACE
DEVELOPMENTS

Washington, ID. c., Nov. FL
There were no developments on the
surface today in the preparations for
President Wilson's trip to France
and for Americas representation at
the peace conference. Arrangements
are going steadily ahead, however,
and ar announcement of the peace
commissions personnel with the pro-
gram for the journey may be expect
ed at any time.
Members of the senate who at
tended the White House conference
last night told their colleagues of the
presidents determination to stay in
France indefinitely or until all of the
greater issues arising out of the
great war have been settled. How
long this may be no one ventures to
guess, so the president will take with
him a full executive staff, prepared
to transact aboard ship or at the
American embassy in Paris virtually
all business of the White House.
In addition to Secretary Lansing,
who is to head the American delega-
ton to the peace conference, and Col,
House, Elihu Root and Justice Bran
deis, generally believed to have been
selected by the president for mem
bership, speculation upon a long list
of names has conferred upon only one
for the fifth place, that of Secretary
Houston, of the department of agri-
culture. He is being suggested per-
sistently in official quarters.
Navy officials let it be known to-
day that it is planned to take the
president and the delegation across
the Atlantic in a big passenger liner
now in use by the government as
transport. A dreadnaught and a flo
tilla of destroyers probably will b'
conveys.

boy NOT FOUND
Il. j. GARDNER MISSING AT LAKE
HERMAN SINCE LAST
SUNDAY.

After an all day search yesterday
at Lake Herman by Sheriff Keller
and a party of assistants, no clew
was found as to the fate of b. j.
Gardner, aged Is years, the young
man missing since last Sunday while
hunting at the lake. The search is
being continued today. Besides his
parents who arrived from Sibley, Ia,
a day or two ago, Mrs. G.. e. Nod
.dings and daughter, Miss Iva, of Car
eyhurst, Wyo., aunt and cousin, are
in the city. Another brother besides
M. M. Gardner, also employed in the
telephone office where the missing
young nan was employed, j. A.
Gardner, is expected to arrive in the
city today. He is in the naval radio
service, stationed at Belmar, N. j.
Discussing the disappearance of
the young man with his brother, M.
M. Gardner, today he said the rumor
had gone abroad that his brother
had voluntarily disappeared. But he
cannot possibly believe such to be
the case. He Unexpectedly met him
on the east shore of the lake Sunday
morning and he was in the best of
spirits. Upon separating the young
er brother said he would walk to the
west shore of the lake and that was
the last time he saw him. Mr.. Gard
ner said his brother had had no
trouble with anybody and was well
satisfied with his employment. He
had some money on his person which
he had drawn from a bank a day or
two previously, but his clothing worn
were his working clothes and all
other clothing is still in his room.
Mr.. Gardner says it is i'm possible to
believe that he is missing voluntarily
and he car only account for his alb
sence by having been in some manner
accidentally drowned and his body is
somewhere in the lake.
