FROM T. w. CLAYTON

The following letter receiv-
ed by Rev. Jerome HARRISON,
of Grays, was written by his
nephew, T. w. Clayton who is
in hospital somewhere in
France, having been wounded
in the first line trenches.
June 26. 1918.
MY dear uncle Romie and
aunt Mettie:
How are both you dear old
folks today? I do hope you are
both we'll. Am heartily asham-
ed of myself for not writing to
YOU before now, but ever since
I've been in France / have been
so very busy, haven't had time
to write very often. | Have
been able to write often to my
darling mother, God bless her,
wanted to let her know just
how I was getting along.
Just now | am out of the fun
for few weeks for about two
weeks ago [ received two
wounds, very slight, in the hips
nothing serious however, but
nevertheless, the Fritz didn't
do their job very we'll, so con-
sequently, | will be back at
them in short while and
harder than ever for now [
have a personal affair or score
to settle for the same shell that
hit me killed my best friend of
Marine corps days and SO from
now on, I have one score in par
ticular. Was wounded while
doing duty as sentry on an out
post for we were expecting an
attack and the Germans put
over an awful fierce barrage
and as my friend and I were
without protection or cover
from the rain of shell and
shrapnel we could hardly
hope to live through it without
being hit, so unfortunately he
was killed and | was only hit,
but my old trusty rifle, the one
that was first issued me, was
torn up, torn all to pieces and
had it lying by my side at the
time too was wonderful.
Then to clap the climax, the
Germans were afraid to come
over after us even after day
and one half bombardment
and then a two hours barrage.
They sure had our range exact
~ for just two days before we
had taken that ground away

Attorney J. o. Henson, represent
ing F. o. Trump, who owned the
american restaurant, stated that the
former action of the council in re
fusing a license to Mr.. virvos had
caused an injustice to Mr.. Trump as
the latter had lost the renting of a
room which he leased some time
since, on that account.
When a vote on the matter was ia
ken Holt and Wiltshire voted in IA
vor of granting the license; Bowers
voted against it, and Kline refused to
vote.
/ Recently the council passed an or
dinance prohibiting the granting of
licenses to nonresidents during he
period of the war. and there is now
question as to the legality of the
action of the council in this case.

HUN OFFICIAL BEGINS
TO TALK COMPROMISE
REGARDING COLONIES

Amsterdam, Aug. 22.-Discussing
Germany's Russian policy and the
Brest-L Litovsk treaty, DR.. W. 5. Soil,
German minister for the colonies,
in adyices from Berlin, is quoted as
follows:
The German government IS lullN
resolved not to misuse the protcc-
ton which has been asked for and
which has been granted because OF
forcible annexation would be TO bar
the way now open to oppressed peo-
ples--the road to Freedom, and mu-
tual tolerance, said Dr. Solf.
The Doctor, who was speaking
before the society OF colonies con-
tinued:
The imperial chancellor declared
last month in the reichstag that we
do not intend to retain Belgium in
any form whatever. Belgium shall
arise again after the war as an in
dependent state, a vassal to no one.
Nothing stands in the way OF re-
Storation OF Belgium but the enc
my's will TO war
He declared that the German
working classes were becoming
conscious OF the fact that the reten-
ton of Germany's colonies was
vital. He said that Germany de-
sired to compromise regrding CO.
lonial questions on the basis that
these possessions shall correspond
to the economic strength OF the ma
tionS.
