Letter from
an ArtileryIrlan
in France

Rev. Guy E. Konkel Is In receipt of a
letter from his brother, J.. 6. Konkel
of the American expedftionary forces
in France. in which he gives some in.
teresting observations and experiences
connected with his overseas service
Mr.. Konkel enlisted n the army in
California In May 1917. and has been
"over there" lighting despotism and

months. He says:
Battery B. 18th Field Artillery,

Dear brother:
have been at the front ever since
the thirteenth of July have been in
three offensives up to the present time
You perhaps read OF the attempt the
Germans made to reach Paris a few
months ago. / was one who helped
stop them.
Our battery went into position on
that occasion with perhaps six or eight
shell holes in sight. but after the bat
tie it would have been hard to count
them. Pieces of shell, were on every
square foot of ground and we wore
our gas masks for FIVE or six hours
without taking them on One of our
ammunition dumps was blown up
about fifty yards from where and sew
eral others were. W fs.fe
We were in hole dug in the ground
about six feet deep. five feet wide. and
ten feet long. The concussion stunned
us for several seconds. but fortunate
ly none OF US were hurt The dump
blew hole in the ground large
enough to put good sf1ed house in.
Yes, have seen quite few German
bum looking lot of SOL
diers, assure you.
At one time went four days and
nights with only six hours sleep. When
1 went to bed slept Tor twenty-four
hours straight. I was sure all in.
This life is hard ON man and beast
will sure be glad wlsn we cross the
Rhine and wind up the Kaiser's back
line.

The big guns Of the Allies are boom

nipping their heels, while we scatter

DETECTIVE ON JURY
CAUSES A MISTRIAL

ATLANTA, Ga, April 16,-When
il comes to prosecuting blind tigers in
4 real court, where conviction usual
ly means a changing sentence, De-
tective Vickery of this city is a. regu-
lar bear cat, but when he serves on
the jury in practice case in local law
school, where students try cases taken
from actual court records, he goes
easy on circumstantial evidence, as
proven by the fact that he tied the
jury in case which they have just
tried, and secured a mistrial in spite
OF the opinion of his eleven associates
that the defendant ought to be con-
victed The case was taken from the
record of moonshine case in the fed
eral court, where it was claimed that
the defendant was caught in act OF
manufacturing white lightning by the
light of the moon. The defendants at.
torneys, however, being smart young
students, laid such emphasis on the
fallibility of circumstantial evidence
that Detective Vickery's conscience
got the better of him, and he refused to
sanction q conviction.

you all know the income tax, all
you manufacturers of great wealth
here. You are fairly familiar with
the Workings of the income tax at this
time. There are men in this nation
today paying five millions, ten mill

from these men the first objection,
the first squeal. They are patriotic.
They walk up and give their money
