LETTERS FROM FRANCE
Junior News Editor, Now With Navy, Gets Letters From Heme.

The following letters have been re, ceived from Fred Graves thls week. He announces receiving the first let ters from home since l1e sailed in April. Fred is one of the editors of the News:
 "Pauillac, Gironde, France, July +
 Dear Thos: I wrote you few days ago quite a lengthy letter bur ann afraid it will not reach you so will write yoa again this evening as have nothing else to do. It is pretty hard to write letter of interest ahd get it by. l have not yet received the first letter and papers you sent me; I will at least get the letter sometim- even if you did get the address wrong Just so you get naval aviation and France on it it will finally get to me but will possibly take some longer. Il is certainly some hot here in the day time, but thanks for the cool nights one can sleep fine under two blankets and sometimes under three. "If possible find out from the K. C. S. boys the address of Franklin. The last time I heard from him he was moving camp and left also in day or two for France I also would like to get Van Coats address so I can drop him line occasionally. If tl,fre are any other fellows around home that know would like to get their addresses as one never knows who or when I might get to see one of them T had nice letter from Mrs. Lon Jones and was sure glad to be remem- bercd by her.
 "I suppose things are pretty hot aid dry there now. I read letter last week from Ben l.. Griffin to his son. who is with me, ill which he says crop prospects are great all over the state. His son was with me from Little Rock all the time until only last week when he was transferred to another station. I was sure sorry to see him go as we had been together so long and he was fine fellow. I will be trans :erred to some other place some time I suppose; but it may be soon or it may be several months, so if at any tipe you should fail to hear from me promptly just keep writing here as 1t will follow me anywhere I should go.
 "I keep up with the war news pret- ty we'll, also the casualty list and up to date have not seen the name of q home boy among the list. I suppose m ost of the boys are in the scrvIce now or in training some where. I would think that he ones out of service seem ] little strange; but of course all can't be ii tEe service. l suppose Routon has been called before now as he was reserve in the aviation. am anxi- ous to get the back papers of the News ss they will toll me lots that is of in- terest. I am sure you and Charley are working pretty hard these hot days. hope the plant is making plenty of money to get by on; and incidentally to put little aside for debts.
 "I will close as it is time to go back to camp, and I have nothing more of interest
 Love to Adiie and the kids.

overworked stomach is starter Of
untold misery for its owner.
When you have that dull. depressed

belching, food repeating-it is the dan
ger point. You want to look out-and
be quick about 1t in this hot weather.
A way has been discovered to make
sick stomachs well and to keep them
cool and sweet. 1t is commonsense
way. No starvation plan of diet is
needed. Make this test and see how
quickly you get good appetite Ia

Marne, July 3.-An entire German
regiment has been virtually annihilat-
ed in the fighting wost of Hill 204, ac-
cording TO official information. The
attack by the Americans on tho Vaux
positions was so to, rifle that they
swept right through the enemy lines,
and had their object been to continue
with the greatest ease, as virtually
everything before them had been
cleared. So great was the enthusiasm
of the men, the officers in some cases
had to look sharp to keep them from
going beyond the set objectives.
1t is not improbable tnat the Ger
mans are planning another counter at
tack for the coming dark holrs, but
preparations have been made to meet
them.
A vast quantity Of material, consid-
ering the size of the operations, is
being taken to tie rear, but probably
will not be tabulated for several days.
In the fighting west of vaux the
Americans, aided by the Freach.
stormed several enemy nests and
killed or captured the occupants;
then turned the guns the other way,
using them effectively against the
enemy rear areas.
The Americans penetrated the enc
my's lines to a depth of about kilo-
meter and half on a front of four
kilometers.
Late reports from the advanced
front brought back through a heavy
enemy barrage confirmed the earlier
statements that the Americans have
reached their objective and are hold
Ing every point.
The German counter attack, which
was fiercely conducted, resulted in the
Americans further increasing their
number Of prisoners. Virtually the re-
mainder of the enemy attacking force
was annihilated.

of nine machines, had a thrilling half

plunging to the earth. and up to 8
o'clock last night two of the Americans
had not returned.
On the British front in the Picardy
area Field Marshal Haig's troops have
been forced hard to hold their new line
northeast of Amiens. where on Sunday
night they forced the Germans out of a
valuable position on the high ground
near Bouzincourt, north of Albert.
On the other parts of the front there
were raiding operations in which pris-
oners were taken both by the British
and the French. The Germans were re-
pulsed in several raiding attempts.
General Diaz strengthened appreci-
ably his position between Asiago and
the Brenta in the operations of Satur-

f1attering in some respects. Now
about this matter of sending to-
bacco. The Telegraph has been Civ
ing valuable space to advertise the
soldiers tobacco fund, like newspa-
pers all over the country, and it is
justified in expecting the public to
do its share. Other cities have re-
sponded in magnificent fashion, New
York sending over S169,000 worth of
tobacco in one order. Theatrical
folk in one case collected 100000 in
one week, the world being limited
to n single company's productions
The sporting fraternity, particularly
boxers, have been most generous
and even the convicts of a western
prison have volunteered to halve
their tobacco rations with the poys
at the front.
1t requires such a trifling sacrifice
to give this great comfort to the
fighting men that almost everyone
should respond. 1t would not be
too much of sacrifice if one we're
to give up smoking during the wal
and send what he would spend to
the Telegraph, whence it would inn
mediately be forwarded to the fund
To be sure the calls for money have
been many, but here is n benevol-
ence which has its own peculiar
benefits, a solace and cheer for man
sorely wounded; sufferers who can
get a crumb of relief from nothing
else. 1t is recorded that hardly
without exception wounded men ask

Man the Traps! U. S.
Needs Rats and Mice
For Victory in War

Philadelphia Jan. 4. - Will the
horrors of war never cease? Now
there aren't enough rats and mice
to go round! They are disappearing
in the face of an unprecedented de-
mand that has shot the market price
higher than it has been for seven
years.
1t may become the next patriotic
duty of housewives to catch live mice
and rats for their country. And if
the cry does go Quito the traps,
women, your country needs mice!"-
it will not be a service of love, for
dealers announced yesterday that
they will pay 10 cents apiece for
common, ordinary house mice. Any
one fortunate enough to own a white
mouse can sell it for 40 cents, and
the merest weanlings are valued at
30 cents.
The shortage was revealed first by
the civilian relief committee of the
American Red Cross which needs
white mice for the treatment of SOL
diers stricken with pneumonia, and
offers to buy the nations entire sup
ply.
The available supply has been
commandeered by the submarine di-
vision of the navy which uses mice
as infalliable indicators of defects in
the oXidizing apparatus. Nowadays,
before a submarine commander
leaves port he includes in the roll
call six mice, preferably white, al
though ordinary rodents are avail
able for his purpose. The animals
are placed in the upper part of the
boat where tainted air is first appar-
ent. If a mouse even so much as
squeaks in its sleep the crew rushes
TO examine the machine which splits
the water and extracts a breathing
supply of oxygen.
Invariably the mouse is right, and
the machine is wrong, for at the first
suspicion of foul atmosphere a mouse
has plenty to say. The warning is a
matter of mere minutes, these mean
an opportunity for makeshift repairs
or a swift rise to the surface.
1t is almost entirely due to this
new job for mice that dealers are ad-
vertising for them in any color or
size of their sixty varieties.
'I could sell 5000 white mice in
n week if l had them" said Edwin
D. Michaels, a dealer at 1907 Dia-
