OUR BOYS
OUR coUN1R \ SERVICE

Corporal Louis H. Dutil. Head
quarters company. 56th Pioneer In
fantry, A. E. F., writes to his father.
Peter Dutil. S. Mill street, Augusta,
as follows:
lie Foyer Du Soldat,
lie II Of October.
My dear Father:
l just received the letter that you
sent to Camp Merritt, N. J. Was
more than pleased to receive it and
learn that all at home are we'll.
Where am now a letter from home
is the best thing can receive. 1t is
better than anything else around here.
1 am as well if not better than ever
and am enjoying myself to the ut
most. We landed in France. Friday,
Sept. 10, General Pershing's birthday.
We were in a rest camp five days and
then in three days we were carried
across the country from the beauti-
full and unframed parts Of France to
the most sorrowful parts that the
worthless Germans have completely
wrecked. Just think in only eight
days after our arrival we were right
up where the flashes at night almost
blind one and where the Boches fur
nish music every meal. But don't
worry, they get more than music on
their end Of the wire. We received
q couple of Kennebec Journals. The
first night we landed in this place we
were greeted by German air raid
i,.Iy Of 10
Germans and saved us from little
more Smelling than we wanted. We
have lost some men but they were
new men. / want you to know thao
none Of the boys from the old Maine
have died in our regiment, they are
built the right way to stand hardships
of this game. There may be some
good fighters from the other states
but 1 would sooner go over the top
with one Maine man than ten men
from any other state. We have
talked with several German prisoners
and one said that the war would
soon be over because there are too
many Americans who fight like bull
dogs. Then he said, ITO He'll with
the Kaiser, he wants too much war"
We are living in the subway" and
fo- a stove we have discarded pow
der can with a chimney of empty
syrup cans. Our household pet is the
rat that is larger than the cat at
home. All the seven fellows in my
dug out are BARRIERS and if they aren't
they think they are. II you were here
you would think that all Of us had a
pressing engagement with our best
girl to see us cutting each others hair
and shaving one another. Every
thing is going fine now and II 1t con-
tinues we will have the old Kaiser
eating his Christmas dinner out of
our hands in Berlin instead Of at a
table in Paris as he thought he would.
All the French soldiers are real
friendly and they can't do too much
for us.
Well, must bring this letter to q
close with love to all the family and
best regards to all my friends whom
I think of often if l am not able to
write to them.
Be sure and write once or more a
week because l am anxious to hear
from you. .,
Your loving son,
LOUIS.

The Greatest
Medical Authorities
in the World have
made public statements in
which they endorse the value
Of such ingredients as arc con-

These great physicians say in
substance, that these ingredi-

wasting diseases and those
maladies which are connected
with or have their origin in
colds and in facilitating and

TO detail here the statements
'of these various authorities

The discharge of one of the engine
celebration of last week has caused
considerable satisfaction among the
railroad men and others who are fami-
liar with the case, states the Houlton
Times of Nov. q.
1t seems that when the news of the
signing of the armistice was received
and the general jubilation of the
townsmen was being expressed in vari-
Gus ways the employees of the 3. & A.
joined in by blowing the whistles on
the engines in the yard. excepting one
man who absolutely refused to do So,
and he was so stubborn that he would
not blow signals for crossing and curves
during his run, a rank disobed.ence of
railroad rules, this. coupled with the
fact that in most of his talk during the
war, he freely expressed pro>German
sympathy so enraged his fellow en-
ployes that they threatene him with a
coat of tar-and-feather in the near flu
ture.
After reaching Van Buren, he was
taken from his train and ordered to
headquarters by officials of the road
and on learning the cause of his dis
missal he collapsed and was taken to
THE Inn at Oakfield where he re-
manned in bed several days.
The probable cause for his dismiss
al was for breaking the rules. but his
fellow workmen claim that his unpat-
riotic conduct on the day of world re-
joicing was what started his trouble
and his ultimate dismissal.

Editorial Comment

True Values
PUBLICATION OF FACT.

From the W. Va. Mining News.
Whether 1t be constitutions Of ma.
tions or states. there must be publ
cation; whether OF work or war-ot
industry, OF trade and commerce; OF
law or morals or religion; no matter
what human enterprise It is. there
must be publication Of its essential
facts. And this is what establishes
the rightness OF the thing; this is
what brings into view, and destroys,
the evil in the thing.
Now then; There must be a great.
er. and more lucid, amount Of pub.
licity for the coal mining industry Of
the country In the past. partly
through It's Qnorganized condition, the
public mind has been left as dark up
on the subject as the interior Of the
mines themselves before the days Of
electric illuuI0 alton. The essential
facts have not been known. The
rightness Of the thing-the rights Of
mine operators and their employees;
their true attitude in the community
and nation, and their relation to other
industry and labor. have not been
made known-have not been estab-
lisheA; while all that has been evil
has been shouted from the housetops.
and made all the blacker by frenzied
agitator, by political crooks who could
get listeners only because there had
not disqualification Of fact.
So, It has required a world war and
fuel famines; 1t has not been until
these latter days Of fuel administra-
tions. Of fuel inspection and coming,
and the tremendous amount Of pub
lefty thus given II, that the coal IN.
dustry now is in the limelight. Less
than six months ago, the official or.
gan OF the railroads was declaring
that the fuel shortage was altogether
to be charged to "the greed and self.
ishnesS OF coal men without business
sagicity." Now every newspaper and
magazine reader IN the whole country

the closest possible union have been eoncusvey proved

1t true that the coal OrganizaGon' national state and
