MAKE PRISONERS
WORK FOR GOVT.

Sanford, Me. July 26-Because Of
the scarcity of men to work at the
kittery navy yard Ex- Sheriff n. L.
I'ogg of Sanford. who is in charge Of
hiring laborers. suggests that short
term men in the county jails of
Maine be, paroled and compelled to
work for the government. Mr.. Fogg
states that the government needs
1000 men at kittery and despite the
fact that 40 cents an hour is paid
and so cents an hour overtime it is
impossible to get enough help.
There are large number Of short
term prisoners in the county jails in
Maine, many of whom were unable
to pay their fines, and these could be
put to work and made to pay the
fines and be doing a service for their
country at the same time, he said.
AS it is now these men are idle in the
jails and are an expense to the peo-
pie of the county
Mr.. Fogg has taken the shortage of
help question up with the United

On the other hand, to the north

The German crown princes army

OUR BOYS
OUR CQUN1RY'S SERVICE

Dear Dad:
AS l said in my last letter I am
now trying to answer yours. re-
ceived two from you yesterday, one
dated March and the other March
IS. The reason it took SO long was
that they went to the company and
they hell them until they heard from
me to find out what hospital l was
in.
heard where Ernest is. They
have had it pretty soft SO far but
they will have something that will
take the fat off them. The weather
here is fine. 1t was just getting fine
at the Somme when l left March IS.
l have not heard any news from the
regiment yet but since I got the let
tiers ! guess there must be some left.
l tell you that is some regiment.
They are all real railway men and
they never felt better than when they
got mixed up in the fray. The Brit
ish did some fine fighting but they
were outnumbered three to one. That
sure was some speech of Billy Sun
days. The last stage Of drilling is
not learned in this war until after
YOU have been at the actual work. 1t
is the experience, for the shell fire
often breaks down the courage OF
those who are considered the best
| hope Ernest hasn't the idea that
lot of our boys have, for the germans
are bad fighters and we must remem-
Der that all is fair in war. especially
fighting them.
Just to show you: A german who
was wounded and being carried back
on a stretcher by two Tommies grab
bed his boot which had been taken
off and laid on his chest when they
put a bandage on his foot, and hit
the stretcher- bearer with it, break
ing his chin. So you see you can't
play the part of a good Samaritan
to them. When our boys get what
the Scotch have they will have no
pity for any of them. If you notice
l spell germans with a small (s).
Ernest should have sent you SIS
month because YOU are depending on
him with the children and the gov
eminent would have allowed you SIS
more.
| am in Co. am glad to hear
Ernest took out $4,000 Of insurance
Every soldier over here should have
it because some one has got to die
if odd Glory is to be victorious.
| do not know how the people at
home look at the germans offensives
but we are not worried nor are The
French people. In fact We like to see
them attack for they make good tar
gets.
You say Ernest said heard from
me but | never got a reply. I had
lot Of souvenirs and was going to
send you some when | got to a city
in the rear, but | lost them all and
| guess the rest of our boys did.
When | get back | will send YOU
something. have not seen Tommy
but will inquire for him and droo
him a line.
Well, it is near dinner time so
will close with love to all,

The German "Peaee" insult

The German peace" proposals are
an insult. They have been decisively
answered months ago. No attention
whatever should be given them i'll
Washington, London or Paris.
The suggestions for a peace con-
ference to the Spanish government
contain the same old pretenses and
dunder- headed inference and insin-
uation that the rest Of the world does
not know who started the war, who
has broken all laws of God and man,
who has gloated in wholesale MUIR
der. outrage and torture--in sub
stance, do not know enough to go in
out Of the rain.
These suggestions for a conference
based on German loot in the east, is
an insult to the world. If answered
at all it should be characterized as
such.
America and the entente allies are
not open to deals betraying the lives
and liberty Of hundreds Of millions
to the north and east OF Germany,
into the hands of such a proven mon
ster as Hohenzollern or any Of his
degenerate offspring, for the sake IT
securing temporary relief from the
blood thirsty Hun.
The Kaiser has been told plainly
that no sane government would trust
him with a dogs dinner or the honor
of an infant. Thus no other inter
probation can be put upon the latest
peace pretense than that it is a
brazen lie, in thought and deed, TO
make the people of Germany and
Austria believe that Prussia is still
strong enough TO dictate any terms
it may desire when ready.
The round table conference when
it comes should contain no repre-
sentative Of the Kaiser, Of Prussian-
ism, or of the Hapsburgs. The
sooner America and the allies reach
that decision the better. But such
conference should hold representa-
tives Of every nation and province to
the north, east, south and west, Of
Germany and Austria, including
Turkey and Bulgaria.
The world has suffered enough
from Prussianism and Kultur to end
them decisively once for all. more
cheaply now than ever again.

Henry B. Endicott, at conference
Of county food administrators at the
State House today, expressed doubt
as to the ACCESSIBILITY of cutting
down the supply Of sugar to be used
in the manufacture of soda and soft
drinks. Mr.. Endicott was of the
opinion that the saving in sugar
which would be made would be off
set by a lack in support Of the Food
Administration from the people. He
pointed out that large numbers Of
people are frequenters of the soda
fountain. While he believed that
soda should be restricted before food
stuffs or candy. he believed that it
might be advisable to wait a while
before curtailing the output from the
Standardization Transcript.
Oh, yes. OF course, but the homes
cannot have sugar for their lemon.

Dear Sister:
Just a few lines to let you know |
am all right and hope that this let
ter will find you the same. re-
ceived your letter Of May all right
and was glad to hear from you.
We have been having some very
good weather here for the last
/ couple Of months. In the day time
/ we go around in our shirt sleeves.
We are now resting up after our
third trip to the trenches. We have
had good luck.
| have not heard from Perry for
some time. The last time i heard
from him he was up on the Somme
front attached to the British forces.
| wrote to him last Friday and hope
to hear from hir soon. / got n let
ter from Pa the other day and he
long time. If he answers my letter
right away | will let you know how
he is.
We have been having some good
times here At the Y. NJ c. A. n
the evening there is some kind Of
entertainment. There are some good
singers here that are travelling over
France for the boys They go from
camp to camp and to the hospitals
for the sick
We heard a good story last night
and if it is right there will be some
thing doing. But you can't tell
about what you hear, there are so
many different ones that run around
bunch of fellows. There was n
fellow here that got a Boston paper
and | noticed that there was a big
piece about a Massachusetts regi-
ment doing so much. They had
picture Of some Of the boys that were
wounded and killed. 1t told what
they did and how many Boches they
killed but we had to help them.
They we're fighting and the Bochcs
drove them from line Of trenches
and killed several so they thought
the Germans were holding the
trenches and diI not go near them.
When our battalion relieved them a
short time after. one OF the captains
got anxious and got patrol to-
gether and went out to the trench
and in 1t he found no Boche. There
was plenty of ammunition left by
them for all they came for was to
try to set prisoners. So both sides
after the raid got scared and did not
go near the trench until patrol
from our battalion went through il.
The Massa chusetts boys got the
praise for themselves but when they
come to the real business they find
that the Maine and New Hampshire
boys are just as good if not better.
Well, l can't think of much more.
Give my best regards to all.
