Camp Lewis. Sept 4, 191S.--Dehr
Mother. Well, as the saying is
among the soldiers, another day,
another dollar; million days, a
million dollars" So you see if l
live long enough I will receive a
million dollars.
My trip to Camp Lewis went or
without much excitement. We we're
unable to obtain a sleeper so had to
enjoy the night as best we could.
We got quartet together and
made a little noise for awhile but
our voices and songs would not last
all night At some of the towns we
passed through the Red Cross met
us and gave us fruit and sand
witches. and one delegation gave us
ice cream. We arrived in Camp
Lewis about 1880 p. M. Tuesday. l
was sorry we could not cross the
mountains in the daytime, but SUI ch
was not our luck. Nevertheless we
saw a little mountain scenery, but
none to compare with much l ha We
seen in Idaho.
Arriving in Camp Lewis we we re
met with the usual greetings
Where you FROM" by every sold
Ter we passed.
I have to laugh when l think of
all the pep the boys show while
passing thru towns. They yell and
shout about what they are going to
do with the kaiser, but when they
arrive at camp and an officer yells
at them once, they lose all of it
mighty quick and some begin to
think and say as Sherman did
War is hell!"
But they soon get over their blue
l don't see how they can help but
enjoy it. The food is not as good,
perhaps, as some millionaire's son is
used to, but it is good enough and
no one but an inveterate crank
would kick at it. There are num-
ber Of such people, though, and
guess the army would not be com
plete without them.
Our sleeping quarters are good
and we have lots of fresh air al
most too much the first couple OF
nights. I nearly froze to death the
first two nights and l was not the
only one but after l learned how te
fix my bed was warm enou gh
The beds are all single cots.
In the line of amusements " {
have nearly anything man desires
from baseball and foot ball down tt
checkers and chess. There are some
mighty good wrestling and boxing
matches going on every night at al
most any Y.M.C.A. building. I be
lieve the best negro minstrels
ever saw was at one of the K. of C
buildings the other night. I'll,
draft law does not use much dis
elimination, and for that reason
there is some mighty fine talent ia
ken into the army in all lines, ais,
some mighty poor.
l will tell you what I know abr pu
the camp. And it is not very much

A n1erica7, Troops
Win IN NelU
Victory
by Fred s. Feronsonl

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent.
With the American Army in
France, Mar. 13-The American
artillery is making good in It's
daily exchanges with the Germans.
The Yankee gunners have been
fast picking up the details of the
present war game and their work
in connection with recent raids
proves that they have reached top
notch efficiency. Many thousand
shells were employed in lombard
ment and barrage fires on the
Toul front this morning. 1t was
twenty minutes before a single
German gun was able to get into
action. At 6:27 q. m. it was re-
ported from headquarters that
three enemy batteries had opened
fire. Three minutes later they
had been silenced The neutraliza-
ton was so complete that the
American infantry crossed No
Man s Land without d casualty.
They penetrated 300 yards into
the German lines and returned to
their own lines, all in twelve
minutes. Similar conditions OBJ
tain in other parts of the Lorraine
sector where American troops are
fighting. Tt is now permissible to
say this sector is east of LuneviIle.
Raids were made in the region of
Badonviller after twenty minutes
artillery preparation. The Ameri-
cans there made another sortie this
morning to see if, the German
trenches were still evacuated. No
Germans were found and the
Americans returned without cas-
ualties. German prisoners taken
Saturday said they did not know
the Americans were in the lines
there until they participated in a
raid against our troops March l,
in which they were repulsed.
Their casualties were forty dead
and wounded.

DENY CHARGE IN COURT
Gustave Topic, Charles and Frank
Schultz, and Ne Bieber Named in War
rants Issued on Complaint of Inspec-
tor Of Food and Dairy Products.

The drive of the State Food and
Dairy Commission against adulterated
milk, found it's way into the Munici-
pal Court this morning when, on the
complaint of James Van Duser, one of
the inspectors of the state department,
warrants were issued for the arrest of
four Pleasant Prairie farmers who
have been supplying milk to dealers
in Kenosha. The warrant against each
of the producers charged adulteration
of milk and it is understood that the
complaints were based on the recent
examinations of milk made under the
direction of the state department.
The men named in the warrant were,
Gustave Topic, Charles Schultz, M.
Bieber and Frank Schultz.
Topic was the first man to be
brought into court and he declared
that the complaint was in error He
asserted that he had been delivering
milk to one Kenosha dairy company
for the past seven years and that he
had handled every pound of it him
self and that not drop of the milk
had been adulterated.
Sheriff Hermann notified the milk
stations in Kenosha to order the men
to report at the Municipal Court and it
was expected thaT all of the men
would be court some time during
the day.
Dr.. w. E. Nelson of the city food
inspection bureau, who is working
with the state inspectors in the effort
to clean up the Kenosha milk supply,
declared that the warrants issued
were simply start in the battle to
get better conditions about the Keno
sha milk supply.
"We are determined to put a stop
TO the sale of adulterated and dirty
milk in Kenosha, " DR.. Nelson said
this morning. "With perfect CO.
operation from the state departments
we ore going to get results. We hope
that If will not be necessary to arrest
many If the men who are furnishing
milk, cut our tests are going forward
are showing dirt and adplteration.
The people of Kenosha are paying
enough to get good clean milk and that
is all that we are demanding"
Topic entered plea of not guilty
to the charges of the Inspector and
the hearing was continued until March
goth He gave bonds of fifty dollars
to insure his presence in court at that
time.
In the meantime DR.. Nelson contin-
ued his fight against unwholesome
food products from the bakeries of
the city. George Bicken was brought
into court charged with selling pie
which contained unwholesome dough.
His hearing was also set for the goth
of the month and he gave bonds of
fifty dollars.

BOY BURGLAR
GETS A PAROLE
John Nemila Will be the Ward Of
Peter Jacobs for Month Under
Orders of Judge Tully.

John Nemila, seventeen year old
boy, arrested last Saturday night on
charges of burglary in connection with
the burglary of the store of Mrs. Will
son at the north end of Milwaukee
avenue, won clemency of Judge Tully
in the Municipal Court on Tuesday
afternoon and he is going to have an
other chance to make good.
Nemila admitted the charges against
him, but appeared to be decidedly
penitent and decidedly anxious for an
other chance. 1t was admitted that
the boy had caused considerable trou,
BILE for the police, but when he came up
for sentence Peter Jacobs, whose home
Nemila had been charged with enter
ing, appeared in court and made plea
for the boy. He asked Judge Tully
to parole Nemila to him for a month
and he told the court that he
would make an effort to get the boy
started right.
The judge accepted the offer of Mr..
Jacobs and the youthful offender
went out of the court with his friend.
If Nemila fails to make good he may be
called up at any time for sentence.

following letter to President Frank 7.
Holt Of the Milk Producers Associa-
tlon, IN answer to a recent phone in
quiry as to the meaning of the atti-
tude of the condensories. in posting
price of $3.50 per cwt. for March milk,
instead of $40 as fixed by Mr.. Lamb
of the Food Administration
Mr.. Holt confirms all that Mr.. Me
earthly has said in this letter, regard
ing his attitude in this matter which is
most important to all milk producers.
Madison, Wis, Mar. s, 1918.
Mr.. Frank T. Holt,
Pres. Chicago Milk Producers Assn,
Room 642-29 LaSalle ST.,
Chicago, Illinois.
Dear Mr. Holt .....
I am glad you called me up this
morning about the milk price at the
condensories and also that you ask me
plainly and frankly what I believe
should be done. l am not stating this
as a candidate for office, but just as a
plain recital of the facts. Since
have been in the Food Administration
/ have consequently held the view
point that the producers of this
country ad to get fair profit and
the cost of production for their ar
ticles or they could not keep on pro-
dlcing. The first thing to do was to
have the production and we would not
get the production unless we dealt
fairly with the producer
Early in the summer the dairymen
met in Washington and Mr.. Hoover
asked them to appoint a man who
would represent them on the, Food Adj
ministration. / pointed out to Mr..
Hoover that time, that whoever that
man was the milk problem was a sep
arate problem and more acute in every
way than the problem of butter or
cheese and asked lin to get special
committee ON the milk problem, for I
foresaW IT, difficulty coming up in the
country with the rising cost of pro-
duction. Mr.. Hoover sent for the com
mittee and asked. for cooperation. To
be absolutely frank with you the men
put in charge of that work in the Food
Administration knew nothing about
the milk business. The farmers were
absolutely confused in dealing with us.
As you know, my place in the or
ganization is that Of general assistant
to Mr.. Hoover In that capacity I
have charge of no particular industry.
Mr.. Hoover keeps me for general
work. When I found this dissatisfac-
tion, [ called Mr.. Hoover into the con
ference with Mr. Milo Campbell Mr..
Cooper and others. Agreement was
made between Mr.. Hoover and these
gentlemen that the milk conditions
were to remain as they were from
month to month until a settlement
could be worked out.
About his time committee had
been appointed on the milk costs. but
the committee was too slow in report
ing and the matter soon came to a
crisis. I insisted and insisted upon
immediate settlement of this question,
as did not want strikes in the country
and knew that the farmers could not

OPENS WORK IN WISCONSIN,
Meeting to Be Held at Park Ave, NJ. E.
Church in Support of Dry Amendment
to Constitution Fusion Meeting Ct
AL Dry Forces.

The opening shot in the drive 10
place Wisconsin in the dry column in
the vote on the prohibition amend
ment to the Constitution of the United
States, win. be fired Sunday evening
March the twenty fourth at the Park
Avenue NJ, r. Church when J. Frank
Hanly, Elk Governor of Indiana, and
President of the Flying Squadron
Foundation. will address union mass
meeting on "Patriotism and the
Amendment The meeting will be
notable one in the history of the drive
in Wisconsin and Kenosha leaders Of
the dry forces are planning to mako
the gathering an enthusiastic to make
the support Of the amendment.
Leaders of the work in Kenosha are
emphasizing the fact that the meet
ing is to have neither a political nor
UNCONVENTIONAL nature. Ex-Governor
Hanly was candidate for president of
the United States on the Prohibition
ticket IN 1916 but he has promised that
these meetings viii not in the least
have any political bearing. It is to be
meeting of men of all parties to start
the "ball rolling" to place Kenosha
and iseofsin O. he dr. side<of fhs
ledger when the vote is taken or .Ae
amendment. The Park Avenue Church
has been granted for the meeting but
it is to be thrown open to all of the
churches of the. city and it is possible
that other services will be dismissed in
order that the dry forces of every con-
gregation may have an opportunity to
hear the matchless orator and intrepid
leader. ..-..-
The dry forces realize that Wisconsin
is one of the crucial states in the great
ballot contest over the adoption of the
amendment and they have sent one
of the strongest of their leaders to
q 6n the campaign IN this state at the
kenosha meeting. J. Frank Hanly as
Governor Of Indiana established re-
putation which brought him renown
from one end of the country to the
other. He has been known as far
sighted statesman, fearless leader, a
peerless orator and wonderful think
err. He will bring to Kenosha state
ment Of the crisis which win well mer-
il the attention of every thinking man
and woman of the city.
At. present Ex-Governor HanIy has
abandoned his extensive law practice In
anapolis-changing the plans of
lifetime - that he may give himself,
body, mind, and soul to the work Of
the Flying Squadron Foundation, an or
ganization created for the express pur-
pose of waging the fight against the
saloon by the support of the federal
amendment. The Foundation is not
affiliated with, or under the control of,
any other organization and will not be
at any time; it will, however, accord
ing to its pledge, strive at all times
to be helpful to every rightful and
worthy undertaking which has for its
purpose the destruction of the liquor
traffic -
With the call to be sounded by such
an orator and leader as Ex-Governor
HanIy. it is believed thai the dry forces
of Kenosha County will rally around
the standard on the evening Of March
gath and make the meeting one Of
the most suspicious occasions in the
history Of the conflict between the wet
and dry forces of Kenosha.
