.CVERSTUDY WAS CAUSE
 OF COLE LOSING MIND
(From Sundays DailvJ

Colonel J. B. Clayton of Fort Sam Houston. Texas, in writing to Pres colt friends of the late Col. Clarence Cole, states that the unfortunate of ficer who shielded at that post sev- eral weeks ago, was the victom of mental breakdown, having spent the few months preceding his death in in tcnsive training preparatory to his going to Europe with the United States troops.
 Col Cole had shot himself to death and locally the impression was prev alent that his ending had come about as a result of his disappoint- ment at not being allowed to cross the Atlantic. However, Col Cole had been at Washington. D. C., or ganizing laboratory unit for over seas duty, and was taken sick in the capital about three months ago. He was placed in the Walter Reed hosDi- tai there. and it soon developed that his poor condition was mental rather than physical He was given sick leave the latter part of July and went to Sam Houston to visit with his wife and children. He did not seem to wake up to the fact that he was at home again, and did not seem himself at any time after arriving in San Antonio. He ended his life one night while in bed
 Cole was married in Prescott eight years ago, and was wcll-known here. being stationed at Fort Whip ple for many years prior to the clos ing of the post

FRENCH PEOPLE CAP

(From Saturdays Daily)

Lieutenant ]. w. Getsinger, who volunteered for military duty when war with Germany was declared, re- signing as principal of Clarkdals High School. writes an interesting letter from France to his parents, Mir. and Mrs. B. w. Getsinger, as follows:
 Somewhere in France, July 25 Dear Father and Mother:
 At last the mails are reaching. me, and I was delighted to receive a number of letters. among them your s and mothers. which arc greatly ap- Drcciated ! am now so situated that I can tell you something of the country in which we are camped. Our battery headquarters IS an ancient barn, and I am writing on my canvas dispatch case in a green pasture back of our quarters. I like 1t here, be- cause the air is so fresh and the beauties of nature abound. We are near a small French village and ii IS funny to watch a native storekeeper when an American soldier springs a 5O-franc note in making purchase. The value of this current exchange IS SS.77. and yet you would think Il worth $50 to see the merchant throw his hands and shrug his shoulders, in making change. Here we have found the people very honest, more so. l must say. than the American mer- chants. when we were camped Tn the United States. who had one price for soldiers and another from 10 to Al per cent lower for those who did not look like strangers. We even find 1t difficult to get some Of the folks to accept money for such things as washing and the like. You are our friends and our comrades they say. My landlady wanted to give me halt of it back when I gave her 5-franc note (SS cents) for a bag of laundry, the accumulation of three of four weeks. For my part I canot praise the French too highly for their gen. erosity, hospitality, and as well as for their thrift and economy.
 "Thc other evening I rode to a nearby village and saw cart coming down the road al good clip. with a man in ii drawn bv a little dog, not more than ten inches high. Most all Ot the tATlhS WOTk oxen, anu tilN driver often walks in front to guide them. He merely places his stick on the yoke and off they go. Probably he will be wearing wooden shoes. To- morrow you may sec him blowing with a small blow with only one han de When he goes 10 town 1t is either on his bike or in a little two wheeled vehicle in this part of the country. You would be interested to hear our people talk French. I get along very well in talking, and read a French paper easily.
 "I have been quite well and am having lots of fun in getting ac- customcd to the many new ways oi living, such as bathing in canvas wash pan. sleeping on bag of straw and ;n other ways of meeting with army life as necessity arises. Re member me kindly to all friends. and also to those of our church in partic- ular'

Morrison says that the meet ing of these two Prescott boys, ono in the army and the other in the navy was one of the happieSt incidents ot his trip.
 Mir. Morrison when asked about conditions in the cast remarked that Twin the war" was the universal dec laration of the people The opinion is unanimous that there should be no negotiations for pcace-that the N- lies should dictate the terms after the American army and navy have aided in crushing to the ground the German army and the Tuetonic bar parity it represents. and that the absolute anuihilatiou of PruSSlanism must come or peace in the world will be of short duration.
 Sergeant Morrison told his father that there were 2 Arizona boys m his battery and that three of them are from Clarkdalc and all Of them were fighters from the ground up.

Somewhere in. France,
 August 1, 1918

Dearest Father:-
 It's nearly three weeks now since I cabled you and still there is no sign of an answer. This French sys- tenn is fine one I don't think any one has ever done better than two weeks.
 I've left the hospital now and am at a casual camp in the same city. I'm hoping to be on my way back to what's left of the battery within a week We've been playing in a very fast league lately and believe me they keep you on the jump.
 Since have been here I have met fellows from every state in the Union. You see when a man is dis charged from the hospital he is sent to one of these casual camps where he is classified according to his physi- cal fitness. One class goes to the front the other classes are given work back of the lines and one class is sent back to the states. I am going back to the front as quickly as I can get there.
 We have had the Huns pretty well on the run recently. The fighting in the Marne sector is all in the open. The Americans have evidently taken well to this kind of fighting for they yesterday defeated some of the best German troops.

Tn another letter he says:
 Since my last letter I have run into several boys from the regiment who have recovered from wounds and been sent here for classification. Each one has had some bit of news showing what good work the fellows have been doing in this recent at tack. Then, too, I have learned of several of my best friends who have been killed or wounded. I can't get used to the fact that the boys with whom I have "chummcd" for so long are dead. At times it seems like an awful dream. Three of the boys you met at camp are gone now and new ones have taken their places-men of the Y. \. These men certainly come from all grades of society. We have one fellow who has spent the last three years of his life as what we call hobo. He is full of the most interesting tales. Still another one has spent many years as cow boy. Another fellow, since he reach ed the age of eleven, has been a 'moonshiner" in Kentucky. Another has made a prosperous living as the head of gambling house in Texas. Can you imagine them mixed in with the bows of the old battery-the mil lionaires of Boston, I tell you this army is American from start to fin ish. That bunch is making it some warm for Mir. Boche.
 Last night Major R. gave splen- did lecture on venereal diseases. He was very outspoken and put the sub feet in such a way that one could not hcip but give it very serious thought. The medical department IS doing fine work in that line and our army is way ahead of any other in its small number of venereal cases.
 In three days my time will be LID and any day after that l am liable to start back 10 the battery. l oer- tainly will be glad 10 be with the fellows again.

 The Republicans of Gila county had a meeting at Globe on Wednes- day evening, with very large turn out Thomas E. Campbell happen ed to be in Globe at the time, and gave short talk at the meeting. The major portion of the county ticket was placed in the field. H. E. Math- ews of Mesa was also in Globe at tending the meeting, and has decid- ed to make the race for superintend- ent of public instruction.
 With the announcement of w. A. NIoeur's withdrawal from the race for governorShip in favor of Sidney P. Osborn, an interesting argument was heard between a substantial sup porter Of Moeur and one of Osborn. The Moeir supporter contended that Osborn srould have withdrawn in stead of Moeur. that Moeur was over tie age limit for the draft, and that Osborn was in it-that he could go to war and Moeur could be governor. But the Osborn supporter put forth the argument that Osborn could be exempted.
 In a conversation with lawyer in teresred in the suit brought by An drew Baumert, IT., in behalf Of the tax commissioner, the interested law yer contended that while they were beaten in the lower court, they eX- pectcd a decision in their favor about the l2th of October, allowing three days for the state committees to place the name of some candidate on the ballot. When the attorney was asked how he figured that the su- Drcmc court would reverse the deci- sion of the lower court in their favor. he said that was easy. "We skinned you out of a governor, and we ought to be able 10 skin you out Of tax commissioner"
 Editor Mills of the Messenger is credited with the assertion that while Hunt favors Coltcr, he would be per icctly satisfied with Osborn that he really has nothing against Osborn but feels that he is inexperienced and too young to fill the chair of gover nor of Arizona: that Moeur would have been a better man for the place, and that he would have been very acceptable to Gov. Hunt The only candidate that Hunt really is against is Fred Suttcr.
