Proud Amerlcal

What wise man the kaiser of Ger.
many Is! Can we mention the ruler OF
any other powerful country quite SO
wise as be-? At the outbreak of the
war, he said that Germany was prepared
for long conflict. All critics now ad.
NIT that he spoke with wisdom. 1t
seems that he knew better than most
others how i'll prepared were the nations
against whom he was to wage relentlers
and atrocious war.
We In America cherish the memory OF

ington and Lincoln. How pure and lofty
their patriotism! How 10 evidence IN

of country. without apparent effort on
their part.
Aud one other rare virtue still renders
their memory precious to loyal Ameri.
cans, and not to us only, but to oppress-
cd and struggling humanity the wide
world over.
Small wonder 10 1t that soldier, who
had been the object of Lincoln's elem.
ENJOY and compassion at the close OF the
war, should exclaim with streaming
eyes, on hearing of Linooln's death,
"Don't you suppose I loved President

Possibly We ought to acknowledge
that the kaiser Is q very wise and
patriotic man II thinking of the advance
ment and prosperity OF the German

calling Scripture to our aid let ne 'look

pure, then peaceable. gentle, easy to be

Without variance, without hypocrisy"
There Is wisdom "that 10 not wisdom

Life In q Texas Camp. E


The following letter was received by
Mrs. Fred V. Abbott from her nephew,
Carroll Cutting, who Is in the Goth Aero
Squadron, at Kelly Field, South San An
tonic, Texas:
Jan. 10, 1918.
My Dear Aunt:
certainly was awful pleased to
get letter from you the other day.
I have been intending to write you q
letter ever since came down here, but
I have so much writing to do I kept put
ting it off with lot of others.
If you could have been down here for
the past four or five days you would
think Texas was an ideal place to spend
q winter. 1t has been grand. Just as
warm as q lot Of days up in Maine In
the summer time.
But II you were here in these barracks
right now you never would want to stay
here at all.
About half an hour ago three of Us
were up to the Y. W. G. A. Hostess
House eating Ice cream and pie, and
when we went up 1t was as warm and
nice as could be, but when We started
back, this dust storm had started, and 1t
was 80 bad we could hardly see our way
back to the barracks.
You cannot imagine how bad these
dust storms are. It reminds me Of big
blizzard up home In winter.
1t wasn't for these storms Texas
surely would be fine place.
This afternoon I was hoping they
would have rs down here until spring,
but tonight don't care how soon we
move.
But suppose We could be lot worse
off. We don't have this bad weather
very often, and while we are here we are
sure of enough to eat and q good place
to sleep, and hot and cold water In the
bath house.
surely do pity the poor fellows In the
tents tonight. There are about 5000
here on the field, and about $4,000 are
living In tents. So / feel as though I was
mighty lucky.
wish you could be down here and
see the machines flying around every
day. They have as many as twenty ma.
chimes up at time some days, and they
look like flies flying around. They have
had four bad accidents here on the field,
but considering the number Of fiers they
are training, 1t is not q bad record.
We hear all kinds of rumors about
leaving here, but guess We will be here
some time yet.
