Somewhere ip France, October 4,
191S.-Dear Mother, Father, Brother
and Sisters: Well, l guess it is about
time to write you folks again. We have
been very busy, hut there is very little
doing tonight. ] have dressed about
five cases tonight, but it is early vet.
I am in the dressing part of the re-
ceiying ward and l like the work very
well. am getting used to the night
work and like it better than ! believe
l would a day shift. We got a frost
the other night and it is the first one
we have had. l suppose. you have had
quite a few by this time. We lost the
first man from our company today. He
died from the same trouble as Hi0
Waterman did. You can bet we are
all taking good care of ourselves.
l don't think there is anything ]
need, only a trip to the U. s. A. and
guess we could all use n of them.
like it fine over here, but we can't talk
to the French and the villages are so
few and have SO little in them. A Red
Cross nurse came up to II camp the
other day and / got a little chocolate
candy. 1t sure was good and the first
l have had for a month or more.
l think we boys will get a little
sleep tonight and l think l a use it.
I suppose Ray is back in school and
suppose they are playing football.
know I am not. Well, the eats are get
ting good once again and they all tell
me ! am getting fat, l guess maybe
am, but l should worry.
met a lad from I.eMars, Iowa. yes
terday. He knew Vivian Langford.
1t seemed good to see sOme n who
knew some one that / knew. Well,
dressed his wounds and sent him on.
He was not very bad so will be up and
around in a week or SO.
l sure see all kinds of wounds. You
know everything comes through our
hands. Another lad and myself do all
the dressing. OF course we have a
doctor to oversee the job. They sure
teach us a lot and that makes it much
nicer. One of the doctors is the mail
and he just censored two letters
for me and will censor this n as soon
as l get done with it. Things sure look
good from what papers we see, but l
suppose you see more Of the news than
we do.
Well, l had a good hunt this morning
but didn't find much. You may laugh,
but it is no joke.
Well, tell all hello. l am just fine
and hope this finds all you folks the
same.
1 am awful busy, but write as often
as l can.

DEDICATION DAY.

Today IL registration day for the young men Of Amer
lea. "A year ago today all men in the United States be-
tween the ages Of FL and 81 were required to register for
military, service. and nearly ten million were. enrolled.
Today all who have in the interim become 81 years old
will register in the same manner, and close to a million
names will be- added to the roster Of those whose age
entitled them to be considered for, military service.
Because Of the act which Is to be performed the day
is known as registration day. The spirit Of the occasion
would be moro accurately stated, by the use Of the word
dedication" for much more than mere formal enroll
'ment is involved in the. activities Of this day.
The military service law under which we are now OPP
Grating is the voluntary act Of the American people
through their chosen and accredited representatives. BY
that act the people Of the United States have volunteered
for such military service al the nation may need from
them. The law was passed at the outset of our activity
in the greatest war Of all time, and in adopting the policy
upon which the law is based our people have declared
the equal obligation Of all citizens to support and defend
their government, without regard to financial condition,
social status, or other accidents of birth or station.
Under the operation of that law a large army has been
enrolled. and a still vaster body is in process Of creation:
From every community In the land men have been going
forward during the year answering the call when it has
come to them. taking their places in the ranks Of those
who have been selected for duty here or abroad, and In
this great body the rich and the poor, men of all occu-
pations and all conditions stand together on the single
basis Of citizenship, recognizing a common obligation, en-
listed in a common cause. % .
The young men who will register today will be added
to the general list, and they; too, will share in. the per-
Torrance Of the duties of the hour, in its effort, its trials.
its sacrifices. its honors, and in the consciousness Of ihav-
ing acquitted themselves worthily, as becomes American
citizens. The young man who registers today has some
time ago attained the status Of political citizenship. But
until his registration is made there is something lacking
in his standing. The act Of today will supply. what is
lacking, and he will henceforth stand on a basis of full
equality with all. others who are subject to the call of
their country. ~
and is to the service Of the nation. His-oher Of himself
is full and complete. He enters an honorable company
and it is for him to see that his own conduct is in keep
ing with the greatness OF the cause in which he is en-
listed, ana with the character and achievements of those
splendid men who are now carrying the banner of. thi.
our. country in the fight for the freedom Of the world.

THE HERALD SERVICE FLAG.
A GIBRALTER TUNNEL

A few years ago the thought Of a railway tunnel
under the Strait Of Gibraltar would have been dismissed
as an extravagant effort Of the Imagination, proper
enough. perhaps. to form the basis for a Jules Verne
story. but utterly out Of the realm Of practical POSSIBLE
ity. Yet the proposal for such a tunnel has actually been
made. in all soberness by an accomplished engineer. the
cost OF the work has been estimated, and a French COM
pany has asked for a charter to undertake the work.
Ali this does not mean that the tunnel is to be con-
structed in the very near future. but it does indicate that
the proposal which would have appeared ridiculous just
a few years ago is being seriously considered by men of
standing in sciences and finance
The plan under discussion is an ambitious one, for
it contemplates not alone the mere piercing Of the strait,
but the work of building lines on the African side until
connection is made with existing systems, SO that direct
connection will be made~with the cape. 1t will then be
possible for the traveller to enter his railway compart-
ment in Paris, or, when the Dover tunnel is constructed,
In London. and to occupy it without change until he
reaches capetown.
Still another feature is Of decided interest. The
construction of such a tunnel will shorten the journey
from northern European points to South America by
town into a great port for the handling Of South Ameri-
$685. 900. .=
There is no probability that a work Of such magni-
tude will be undertaken in a really constructive way for
some time. Enterprises Of this sort must pass through
many stages Of preparation. But an interesting feature
Of the case is the fact that Frenchmen Of standing and
substance, while their country is at war, and while a
considerable portion Of it is actually occupied by a for
eign foe, have such confidence in the future that they
are proceeding calmly with preparations for a vast un-
dertaking Of this kind. Evidently they have no doubt.
as to the future.

WHY MAKE A MYSTERY OF IT.

In his address at the city hall Mr. Milholand, who
appears to have taken advantage Of the opportunity to
talk politics while the man who is sent out from Wash
erence to certain newspapers Of the state in the terms
usually employed by other Nonpartisan league orators.
As is customary, he mentioned the Fargo Forum, the
Bismarck Tribune and the Grand Forks Herald as ex-
'amples of everything that a newspaper ought not to be.
He made the statement that when one of the kept"
$4,000. one Of the big men in the political game came
forward and supplied the deficiency. g
Why does not Mr.. Milholand tell those who listen
to hin4-f anybody ever does-what paper this is? Why
make: a mystery of it II he knows that his statement
10 true he knows what paper he is talking about, and
what man makes good the shortage He should pass
this information along. If he has it. Possibly he has no
Information whatever. In that case he should not talk.
ma Speaking of Mr.. Miholand brings to mind a pc
culieritys about the conditions under which he appears.
9 spoke here before a handful Of men representing
some Of the labor unions in the city. He delivered a
political address obviously in the interest Of his own
eandidaey for-omce. Following him came Mr.. Smith.
representing the federal department OF labor. who spoke
on labor topics. Does Mr.. Milholand appear at a labor
meeting conducted under the auspices Of the department
of labor. and pervert that meeting from its true purpose
~ making . personal and political campaign meeting
Of Il: or IL Mr.. Smith sent out from Washington on the
