ONE OF THE LETTERS MURPHY GOT
ViroquR Ladies Take Pity on a Sad and
Lonely Soldier

Tsere appeared in the Censor two weeks
since. a letter written by Soldier Murphy,
dated at Key West, Florida, National Air
Station. Murphy complained that he had
been in the service a year and half and
had failed to receive single letter from any
source. Some of VirOaua's inviting young
ladies' replied in consOling missives. One of
their mothers, knowing that correspondence
had been opened wrote Murphy the following
note OF caution:

SECOND N NOTHING
Hearst Disagrces' With leader Who
Says u. s. Should Yield Supremacy
Of Seas to England.

Baltimore. Nd, Dec. 11.--Willian
Randolph Hearst. in addressing the
conference Of mayors in the city hall
Tuesday in connection with discus
sion of the Atlantic waterways pro-
position, took exception to the utter
ances of men who have been content
to endorse or tolerate Great Britain 5
plan to maintain a preponderant sea
power, and also discussed the decla-
ration OF Winston Churchill, who said
the British navy would not be re-
| duced.
"A great leader cf public opinion
in America" he said, lately said that
the United States has not played a
very great part In the war. I cannot
sympathize with. or understand. such
States did was to change what threat
ened to be a disastrous defeat into an
overwhelming victory.
That same American leader said
England ought to have the greatest
navy in the world: that we ought to
iallow them to have the greatest navy
in the world. and that we ough. to be
content with second place. 1t is all
right for English statesmen like Mr..
Churchill to make such statements,
but do not think any American
statesman ought 20 make them.
II do not think the United States
ought to be content with being soc.
ond in anything 1t wants. and do
not know Of anything the United
States wants or needs more than tho
greatest navy tn the world. and the
greatest merchant marine In the
world, and the greatest port facilities
land transportation facilities and ter
minal facilities for supporting that
navy and that merchant marine.
| think that whenever any American
says that the United States ought to
be content with second place in any
such important matters, 1t is not be-
cause there Is anything second class
about the United States. but because
there must be something second class
about that man.
AS / say. / am merely one citizen
among 00,0o0,0 900, but l have GER
tain interest IN seacoant and In in
land cities and I am doing all I can
to unite the sentiment Of the people
OF the inland cities with the senti-
ment OF the people of the coast cities
in support OF this great project of an
Atlantic deeper waterway, and I GER
tainly pledge myself to do my utmost
to accomplish this object"
| Mayor John F. Hyland. of New
York, said. in part. while speaking at
the conference: ct is my under
standing that the Deeper Waterways
association stands for an intercostal
waterway from Boston Florida and
across Florida to the Gulf The
/ necessity for physical connection OF
all our eastern and southern harbors
will best be met by the completion

Dear Editor:
I have experienced some trouble
in receiving mail from friends and
relatives back home. So to be sure
every one of my people know I am
well, and getting on fine, am ask
ing you to please give space in the
Recorder for this letter. 1t is useless
to say we boys are rejoicing over the
thought of coming home soon. It's
true the war is at an end. This d.
vision may have some guard duty to
do for short time. But we know
for sure that we are soon to be at
home again.
The last Recorder I received was
dated September 9th but it was
news to me just the same. Thanks
to my father for sending it to me,
truly hope this letter will be good
reminder to the folks at home to
write me, as we'll as some OF my cor
respondents. With best wishes to
the Recorder. I am, Yours

LETTERS FROM OVER THERE
France, Nov. IA, 1918
lear Father and Mother:

MY dear Father and Mother:
Can you realize what has happe1.-
ed? We have won the greatest VIC
tory, The world has ever known. !
am so glad that I can scarcely Cen
tain myself. I was sick in bed when
the news came. I got right UP, I
couldn't remain in bed; it pr such
a feeling in me that I forgot all a.
bout being sick. Everyone Is wecr-
ing a victor's smile and is just as
happy as can be. What we are ex-
periencing is indescribable. The
people here have all gone wild. In
fact it is enough to make any one go
wild. l suppose there is quite a bit
going on back in the States, is there
not?
l have in the hospital four weeks
with Spanish Influenza. I had been
at the front for twenty days; had
slept in mud and water, and had been
greatly exposed. When I got back
to rest camp l was transferred to Of
ficers Training School. I took sick
on my way here. I am afraid l will
not get to take my course, as l have
lost so much time. l would like to
come back with commission, but
guess things will work out for the
best. This training camp is situat-
ed near a. beautiful city; the second
largest city in France. I am not
pleased with the climate here as 1t
is very low and damp. l cannot give
YOU the name of the city. We are
not allowed to give the names of the
cities and towns we are located IN
We can buy most anything here tc
eat. After coming from the front
TO a place like this it seems like
dream, for at the front we never saw
anything but hot lead and plenty Of
it. Thank goodness! We will new
er see any more of that.
The last time we came from the
front lines I told some Of the boys
that we would never see the from
lines again, that the war would bt
over and 1t is.
I hope it will not be many months
until I can see you all; but still tht
great blue ocean is between us, ant
some of us must stay until ever!
thing is settled sure.
Hope you are all real well. Write
as often as you have been and thu
same address. Love to you all ant
enquiring friends.
Your devoted son,
Sgt. w. A. BIRD.
