not so bad over here as the people
back home think it is. If you could
see the people here, how happy they

any war here now. | don't want you
to worry over me, for I am safe over
here. No danger where I am at all.
You want to be as happy as you can.
Don't worry, for that will do no good.
l am still with the machine gun
company and have it very nice, get
ting good eats, and that is what
counts lot. We never go hungry;
always as much as we want.

Mr.. Iacasse says that the work of
hauling the dredge to Iron Mountain
will be completed in II week or ten
days. 1t Is an extremely difficult job,
some of the pieces weighing as much
as l6 tons. The dredge has been pur
chased by n California firm and will

hotel Men meet
HERE THIS week
State Association to Plan
Way to Meet Wheatless
Menus Ordered.
NATION WIDE MOVE
Local Proprietor Back From
Big Conference Held
in Washington.

On Wednesday of this week hotel
proprietors from all large cities OF thu
state will meet in Missoula to devise
methods of cooperating with the
wheatless resolutions adopted at the
meeting of hotel men held in Wash
inRton, D. c., on March 80 and 80.
]. NJ. Hitchings. proprietor of the
Florence hotel, yesterday returned
from the Washington meeting. Mr..
Hitchings pronounced 1t the best and
largest Of the kind ever held. He
said:
Spirit 10 Wonderful.
II believe that never in the history
Of this country or any other country
has a larger meeting OF hotel men
been assembled. On the 2sth of March
Mr., Hoover addressed $40 men, rep
resenting hotels from every part OF
the country. But the size Of the meet
ing fades into nothingness when the
spirit of the occasion is thought OF.
II was wonderful. The meeting was
held at the Willard hotel. When Mr.
Hoover had finished speaking, one
gentleman arose and asked: How
many OF you will agree with me to
pledge yourselves to abolish absolutely
the use of wheat products in your
hotel until the next harvest" No
sooner had he asked the question than
the assembly. to u man, arose and
made the pledge. Men cheered and
slapped each other on the back, and
acted as II mad. l have never seen
anything like it.
Administration Says No.
"Then the question arose, what
should be done with the flour which
the hotels had on hand at that time.
Mr.. Drake Of the Blackstone hotel OF
Chicago suggested that such flour be
donated to the government and that "a
ship be chartered to convey it to Eau
rope. This suggestion would doubt
less have been accepted by the meet
ing had not the heads Of the food adj
ministration advised differently, say
ing that this flour might be used in
making the transition from wheat to
no-wheat menus gradual.
Thanks From Abroad.
II telegraphed my chef at once to
discontinue the use Of wheat products
In this hotel This order has been
complied with since. The results of tn.
meeting We're sent to the heads of the
food administrations IN Europe, anG
soon replies in the nature OF thanks
we're sent from italy, England and
France. In my opinion. 1t is one OF
the biggest things which the people
of this country have done in the way
OF food conservation. The hotel mel
Of Montana will meet here this weel
and We'll fix our program. 1t is need
less to say that all Montana men ar,
