 June 8, 1918. MT. Wm. B. Folsom, Brinkley, Ark. Dear Argus Man: I guess the Ar gus readers wonder what the Navy is doing. We'll, we are still known to the U. s. A., when it comes to hunting the German U-Boats. oft en wonder if the people are still asleep, or have they really awaken ed to the fact that the United States is at war. We who are in the serv- ice are doing our bit. If you can not go then give to the Red Cross, and save them pennies to buy War Saw ing Stamps. Soldier boys gettingonIy thirty dollars are buying Liberty Bonds and stamps. Here in Washing ton.
 I suppose you have already been reading about the UBoats being of the New Jersey coast and sinking a number of our small boats. We have been very successful in sinking one of them, and getting suspected spy in hotel off Cape May, who was sending signals to a U-Boat from darkened window. New York liar bor has been closed. The city will be darkened.
 We steamed up the Bay few days back but was lucky and did not see anything exciting except U. 5. Fly droplanes was like birds in the air. All the places we went was much the same. The Statue of Liberty in New York are very interesting place to go, and lots of visitors see it daily. I hope that all the rice farmers are through with their seeding, and have the plants busy. Thismust be our busy year, so lets all get hand in it. Some people have asked me which was the best branch of tile service. We'll, if you are going to enlist, think of what you can do best Then take your choice of army or Navy. The Navy pays the rated men the prices following:
 Ordinary seamen, s32.00 per. month.
 Seamen, Second Glass, $36.20 per month.
 Seamen, First Class, $500 per month.
 Bremen, Third Class, s36.40 per month.
 Bremen, Second Class, s3S.00 per month.
 Bremen, First Glass, s4t.00 per month.
 Enginemen, Second Glass, S44.60. Enginemen, First Glass, s4S.00.
 Machinist Mate, Second Glass; S55.50.
 Machnist Mate, First Class, S66.50. Chief Machinist Mate, S77.00.
 Warrent Machinist, S225.00
 Army, private, s3O.00. s33.O0 for Foreign service The Navy is good and the Army get the drafted men. So the man who volunteers will find i the Navy better. ! With best wishes to all I am sincerely,

"At the outbreak OF the Civil

chartered camps. When Presi-
dent Lincoln sent forth his call
for $4,000 men to enlist in the
service Of their country, that the
union of states might be pre-
solved, every camp of the order
went out OF existence, because
the members, true to their prin-
ciples and teachings, responded
to the call of their country.
"The last camp to become ex-

1t is improbable that Won Hin

men actively engaged at all points
In the German forward movement
into Russia.
The slowness of the Teuton ad-
vance, in view of the absence of
opposition, has now undoubtedly
become influenced by the in
creasing possibility that the Rus

numerically weak invaders.
Won Hindenburg is taking no
risk of suffering heavy casualties
and causing renewed unrest with
in Germany. The bulk of the
German troops on the Russian
front are quiet.
For the first time the German
general staff has definitely aban-
doned it's former ruthless policy
of risking large masses of men,
regardless of the loJ;es.
The Russians are now orgaSiz-
ing for guerilla fighting. ThNe is
as yet no suggestion of concert
ed movement of great Russian
army against the Germans.
Tactics ON so pretentious a
scale are not to be expected for
the moment, with Russia in its
present disorganized state.
But the undoubted fact that
Won Hindenburg is not striking
with an immense force makes it
possible for the Russians to ek-
gage in guerilla warfare with ex-
|cellent chances Of success. Swift,
sharp attacks by small bodies of
highly mobile troops have not
been possible hitherto in the W..
But these guerilla operations are
now wholly feasible against the
Germans who have left their
trenches and are moving in col

The whole German front is not

In effect, the Petrograd often
