FROM SOLDIER BOYS

Dear Dusty
received the ten bones and for
about half an hour was busy trying to
make out what it all meant.
Thank you and the City of Yale very
much. surely do appreciate the gift
and wish / could do something more
to show my appreciation
Am sending you few pictures TO
show the manner in which the German
prisoners are taken care of down here.
Personally, think they use them too
good, if anything. But you know
about turning the other cheek.
There are about a thousand Germans
in this stockade, all of them husky look
ing fellows and cocky as the devil.
AS you may know Fort Mcpherson
is about miles outside of Atlanta, Ga.
and this prison camp is about mile
from the Fort.
We expected to leave here some time
ago but are still here. The weather
the past few days is like May and June
weather at home.
This afternoon our unit has a base
ball game scheduled with Base Hospi-
tai l3 from Chicago and with the help
of Capt. Bruce of Saginaw, as "Umps"
we hope to clean up on them.
Am enclosing few other pictures
which may interest you. Receive the
Expositor regularly, thanks to you.
Write me. Sincerely,
1t. Fred Z. Currier, Jr.

An Atlantic Port, Aug. 21.-A
submarine late yesterday evening
seized the big fishing trawler,
Triumph. Fishermen who we're in
the vicinity at the time the trawler
was seized by tho submarine crew,
reported that the Hun submarine is
playing havoc with a fleet of fishing
vessels on Grand Banks.
According to members of the crew
Of the trawler, only part OF them
reaching the shore here, said that
they believed the Germans intended
to use the trawler as a raider. The
men said that tho German subma-
rine came to the surface and shelled
the Triumph. When the trawler was
given up, the crew members made
their way to the banks the best they
could and the Germans took posses
sion of the boat
Persistent rumors and stories of
boatmen, say the Germans are at
tending theaters and saloons In New
York. 1t is believed that these Ger
mans are aiding in the capture Of
boats and sinking of the fishing YES
sells.

The United States recruiting sta
tion at Salina, received an order
from the war department yesterday

once for immediate service in the

plies, however, only to men between

diately after passing the physical ex

THE SUGAR PROBLEM

On top of the complaints OF the
Cuban sugar growers that they were
left with tremendous surplus after
the international committee had
bought all the world needed for the
year, is the grievance OF the Louis
lana planters that they are about to
lose 100000 pounds of seconds
unless the food administration does
something for relief. The woman
who has periodically believed there
is a serious shortage In sugar
amounting almost TO a famine-for
no other reason than because some
body said so-and is deprived Of
buying her canning season essential
for the same reason, no doubt will
be unpleasantly surprised 1t is hui
manly possible the women who have
labored so much in every patriotic
movement may be just little peev-
ish, some probably downright angry.
And why shouldn't they be?
Why should crops Of fruits be
virtually wasted because housewives
can't get sugar That isn't conserv-
ing food resources And it isn't the
sort of reward the women expect
for all the sacrifices they have made.
The Indignation will not be softened
much when it is learned that mil
lions Of pounds of sugar-high grade
and seconds-are kept out of the
market because of a difference of
business judgment about the price
and conflict between the interest
Of growers of one kind of sugar and
The poor consumer knows
that no matter which side wins on
that field of sugar he will lose.
With food substitutes of every
sort in use-some that it
is possible only to include through
brilliant exercise OF the Imagination
and others only through excessive
charity the excuse that sugar sec
onds could not be allowed in the
market doesn't reach far. If there
a too much high grade sugar to
admit seconds then there can be no
scarcity, and if there Is no scarcity
I should not be said there is. And
+ there is the reported shortage in
nigh grade sugar that removes one
more reason-the main one-why
seconds should be sent into the mar

Washington, Aug. 20.-The navy
department announced this after
noon that the captain of an Ameri-
can steamer reported his vessel
rammed and probably sank a Ger
man submarine on August II at the
winter quarter shoal off the Vir-
ginia coast. The captain of the
American steamer stated that his
ship struck the submarine with the
Port bow, bringing the U-boat along
side.
Several members of the German
submarine, using a strong German
accent, tried to explain that they
were friends to America, but the
steamship kept its course.
The steamer is now in port with a
bow.

LOOK ar THE VOTE

Editor George Harvey, Of the
North American Review, has exam
fned the various votes in connection
with the selective draft bill and finds
that on the essential modification
urged by the president" 164 Repub-
licans voted for and IA against what
the president wanted while only 70
Democrats voted for and 11s against
the amendment. Commenting upon
this. our Democratic contemporary
says: Clearly no fair mind can
fail to give to the Republican CON
gress as lean bill of patriotism in up
holding the president to the full and
in putting aside all partisan consid-
erations."
How, then, can a sound argument
be made for the election of a Dem
Ocratic congress in order to uphold
the president"

bling at the Hun lines in all areas OF
the battle front is reaping rewards
The Hun is unable to concentrate
large bodies of men at any one point
to make drive and as result is
being beaten in every sector Of the
battle line. His reserves are also
being used up while that of the allies
are strengthening every day by the
arrival of American troops. The
end may be some months or years
off but the complete defeat of the
Hun is now assured.
