Ceived your letter OF July 21st. also

wrote you. don't remember just when
il was. but anyway I am still alive

water rather got the best of me but
the hottest days are over now and /
am feeling fine. Went thru the big
American offensive of July and Aug
ust without a scratch. II sure was a
glorious victory for the Yanks.
Being at the front for that length
OF time partly accounts for my delay
in writing
It was rather interesting after We
got into territory previously occupied
by the Germans. Every where were
piles of German ammunition with
equipment scattered all over. left by
them in their hurry 10 ge- away from
the oncoming Americans. l saw many
prisoners and every one are big
husky fellows. but they are evidently
quite cowardly. I have slept in dug
outs made by Germans and they were
certainly fixed up fine with the furni-
ture taken from French homes Some
dougouts even had pianos in them.
Best of all was the look on the
French people when they came 10
their homes and found the country
full of Americans They realized that
he Yanks were the ones that made il
possible TO return to their homes.

From every front the enemy is be

Kaig and that he hurriedly left Ida
no in December. 1917. to attend her
trial at which she was convicted in
North Dakota and that he was in
sympathy with her teachings and ut
terances, whereas. the complaint de-
clares that he was not and is not an
acquaintance at all with the said Kate
O'Hare and never saw the woman, ex-
cept on one occasion and is wholly
out of sympathy with her utterances
and beliefs.
The publication of the advertise
ment. the complainant declares, was
put out to convey to the public that
he was and is disloyal TO his country
in a time of war and national peril
and to induce hatred and contempt
for him throughout the state of Idaho
and elsewhere for which he asks judg-
ment in the sum of $4,000.
GOODING REPLIES,
When the attention of former Gov
ernor Gooding was called 10 the suit
of Ray McKaigfi. Nonpartisan league
leader, he said:
1T is pure bluff. | welcome a chance
in court to prove everything I said
about the presence of McKaig at the
trial of Kate O'4are. the notorious
Socialist and agitator. now in prison
sent there for sedition.
Il want the people to read my ad-
vertisement on that subject. There is
ample proof at hand and more is COM
ing"
In his advertisement referred TO
Mr.. Gooding printed letters and tele-
grams which assert that McKaig die
attend tbat trial of Kate O'Hare and
gave comfort to her Among the mum
ber was the following:

But what I wished 10 write yol
about was that man McKaig He i
no good. Formerly I understand h
was a minister and wild cat in ever

The best thing about him was tina
during the trial of Kate O'Hare he re
turned 10 Bismark TO be at the tria

In open court he rushed up to he
