Dear Mother: have just returned

just what wanted to see ever since

a German aviator take his flop.
There was a Frenchman and the Ger
man fighting above large cloud.
We could hear them but couldn't see
them, until the Dutchman fell through
the cloud head first with his gas tank
on fire, engine and machine gun
going and he came to the earth like
an arrow. He was about fifteen
seconds making the trip and he only
left a dirty looking streak through
the sky where he fell.
Would have enjoyed telling Mr.. J..
Hall and some of those other old vets
about their little civil war; this really
isn't civil at all.
Am well but feel a little tough and
stiff. Will be all right in few days.
Am tired and sleepy and haven't had
a bite of warm food to eat for twenty
five days until today. and then only
got one meal day which sometimes
I missed, but never mind III come
out all right / know one man who
said he felt like his time was that

ITALIANS HOLDING
THE AUSTR|ANS
Dual Monarchy's Armies Not Making
Much Progress in the
Latest Drive
associated Press)

Although the situation along the
battle line in northern Italy remains
somewhat obscure it seems that the
AusCrians have accomplished little at
the inspection of their drive against
nthe Italian and allied armies. From
the lower Piaye river and northward
come encouraging reports that the
enemy Is being checked and at sonic
points being hurled back across tile
stream.
FROM the Piave to the Brentl,
where the Teutons advanced through
the mountain ravines in attempts ID
break through, the situation seems
well in hand. 1t now appears that
the Austrians made three successful
attempts to cross the Piave. At least
some of these troops have been driven
back across the river. while others
have been unable to develop any ad
vantage from the early success.

HELD UP WOOD SHIPS
Blame Ship Board for Specifying Too
Large Tfmbers-Change Order.

Washington, March 13.-Reduction
in ship timber sizes used in wooden
construction in the south was author
lied today by the shipping board to
expedite construction.
John H Kirby of Houston, Tex,
vice president of the Southern Pine
association, has been named to take a
survey of pine forests to determine
the amount of material available for
wooden ships as a further step to in
crease the output.
Under old specifications few trees
could be found in southern forests
sufficiently large to cut heavier pieces
and 1900 cars of fir were ordered
from the Pacific coast for southern
yards. Officials hope that the changes
will speed up construction so that ad-
ditional contracts may be placed but
it is not their intention to undertake
further building until the present de-
layed program has been put forward.
Mr.. kirbys appointment is part of the
shipping boards general plan for TAX
ing stock of shipbuilding resources

Members of the Southern Pine asso-
citation were prepared to appear be-
fore a senate committee yesterday and
according to a prepared statement is

FOR LUTHERAN CENTER
Army City Church Will Be Dedicated
Next Sunday.

Lutherans are not only doing their
bit towards the government in fur
nishing men but much is being done
by them for the spiritual welfare.
The Lutheran church board for army
and navy of Chicago was created last
summer to arrange in a systematic
way the church work in the various
camps. There are now approximately
10000 Lutherans in the army and
navy. The church felt the boys could
not be left without spiritual assistance
and the preaching of the gospel as
they had been accustomed to hear it
at home. For this reason efforts have
been made to arrange for religious. de-
nominational services in the camps.
In many places the Y. NJ. c. A. has
made arrangements with the camp
pastors for the use of halls and audi
toriums in order that each denomi-
nation may have an opportunity to
preach to its own boys. But the Y.
M. G: A. cannot meet all the demands
and Religious needs in a denomination
al way. Very many of the boys prefer
to worship as they have been accus-
toned to it at their home churches.
In order to meet this demand the
Lutheran church board for army and
navy is erecting centers or halls in
and outside camp limits. These should

WATCH PRO-HUNS
Members Square Circle Club
Form Vigilante Body.
German Sympathizers Are
Warned To Watch Out.
SPIRIT OF OLD REVIVED
Government Will Be Informed
of Suspicious Characters.
Club FayOrs Interning All Enc
my Aliens Here.

Some very concrete shades of the
vigilantes of the days of '49 are oper-
ating in Topeka and have been since
last Monday night. OF course these
vigilantes have not yet resorted TO
such crude methods as hanging and
shooting, but the warning has gone
forth that unless the rabid pro-Ger-
mans of Topeka promptly find some
cure for that particular brand OF
rabies something unpleasant Is most
certain to happen
The Topeka vigilantes like the old
ones of 40 are self appointed ana
operating solely for the good OF
America. The vigilantes of Topeka
are the committee of the whole OF
the Square Circle club.
To. Inform Government
The work of the vigilantes in and
around Topeka will be something on
the order of secret service work
against pro-Germanism and German
opagandism. They will report all
persons they may suspect of Hun
sentiment tc the proper authorities
and expect to bring pressure to pear
on those persistent Americans VINO
aid and encourage the enemy by con-
tinuaI talk of peace without decisive
victory.
The Square Circle club has gone
on record as being especially in favor
of internment for German born men
in the city, and hopes to spread the
religion of anti-German and anti
kultur abroad thru the land. The
Square Circle club is squarely behind
the government in this war, and is
merc.less where there is any tendency
to slack in the war work.
