Pearl Gary, France

| A. j. Gary has received the follow
ing letter from his daughter, Pearl,
who is Red Cross nurse in France.
Pearl is right near the scene of &C.
| ton and says the hardest task she
has is to care for the boche.
Sept. Is, 1918.
Dear Folks at Home:
Another week has gone by and no
mail. hope will get bunch when
it does come. Guess it is because we
have been moving so much.
The patients started to come in just
few days. ago, and it surely is pitt
/ full to see them with their multiple
wounds, but the huns are running
again and perhaps there will not be
many more. I surely wish the war
could, end before cold weather be-
gins because the exposure is SO hard
on the men and they surely go through
enough without having pneumonia
and all other diseases which comes
from exposure. One thing l find aw-
fully hard, and that is taking care of
the wounded boche. The only ones
l have any sympathy for at 'all are
the younger ones and they surely
need it. All the time I am caring for
them l feel that perhaps they have
some Of our wounded boys and they're
not getting nearly as good care as we
are giving the prisoners we have here.
Am on night duty and was forced
to stop just now as all lights were
put out because boche plane just
flew over. He did not leave any souv-
enirs this time, however, and every
thing, is running smoothly again.
The line is moving so rapidly that
we will probably move again in short
time. Seems like this will surely be
over soon. am thoroughly sick of
it now and don't wonder at the French
and English if they are ready to give
up. Wish I were a man and could
60 over the top. I'd certainly join
the infantry.
Am perfectly we'll with the excep-
ton of my teeth and they are, better.
Everybody write. Love to all,
- Pearl

Dear Folks:
l have a little spare time so will
write a few lines this evening. We
are still in quarantine so there is very
little to do as usual. No movies at
the "Y'' or any congregating at all.
The quarantine is not very strict. You
can get outfit you have good reason,
though only fifteen are allowed out at
one time. The "f1u" is not bad here
and the restrictions are just to keep
it out. ..:
There has been haze around here
for several days. Some think it is
smoke from the forest fires up north.
l don't know how thick it is, now but
Monday it was a little over 1000 feet
through. Above it everything was
as clear as the clearest morning you
ever saw. On a cross country trip
yesterday down to Macon you could
scarcely see another ship over two
hundred yards. away and could only
see the ground that was directly be-
meath. Had to watch our business
and keep from getting lost. .,-..
Yesterday surely was a hoodoo. Had
four wrecks with two lieutehants
burned to death and three, Others in
the hospital. One machine caught on
fire in the air, one fell in a tail spin
and the other landed upside down in
a tree, and I don't know how the
fourth one happened. The one that
burned landed in the main street of
a town. Consequently we had no
cross country work today. In this
haze you have to fly entirely by feel
and evidently some of the boys could
not tell when they were in trouble,
when they couldn't see. their position
with reference to the ground. like
it and it is very good practice. !@
finished my stunts today; had
three hours and rs minutes of moth
ing but loops, Immelman and wing ov-
ers. Yesterday I went up $4,000 feet
and then made one flop after another
till | was down to 2200 feet. Made
about twelve in, all and could have
made more but l had an old wreck of
a motor which wouldn't carry me a
foot over $500 feet up in an hour. A
good motor would do between 5000
and 10000 feet or better. 1t was I'M
comfortably cold that high though
quite nice on the ground.
We have the same kind of ships
here as we had at Rantoul. We. call
them street cars" as they are made
by the st. Louis Car Co. We have
some Canadian Curtis too. It's more
fun to run them because they are
much quicker, but not so strong and
safe. We never do stunts in them.

Ny Dear Mother: g55
Well we are back of the lines now.
that is, we are not in the front line,
but we have been. We were. in the
drive and then held the, line for some
time. In the whole maneuver we were
out Is days and it sure was great
time. Our drive was so we'll planned
that it was like a picnic, and we had
everything in our favor with plenty
Of support from the aeroplanes, artil-
lery and tanks, so we walked right
through them. But you know all about
it of course from the papers.
We were paid today and I got an
old can and heated some water and
took bath and put on some clean
clothes and so feel fine.
am glad that you had good trip
out west. and that you are feeling
fine, as am and enjoying life. We
have many hardships, but I like them
and am glad that l. can stand them

and do not weaken, but seem to thrive
on them. l am getting along fine, am
contented and feel fine all over.
A good suggestion is to put about
five sticks of gum in each letter you
write, as it is so hard to get here. We
get tobacco issued to us, but as I do
not use it I don't get any satisfaction
out of it. Once in awhile get little
chocolate or gum, but not often.
Well everything is fine with me and
l will write more later.

WHAT CATARRR IS

Science has shown that nasal catarrh
often indicates general weakness Of
the body and local treatments in the
form Of snuffs and vapors only irritate
and do little if any good.
To correct catarrh you should treat
its cause by enriching your blood with
the oil-food in SCOTS Emulsion which
is a medicinal food and a building
tonic, free from any harmful drugs.
It is helping thousands. Try it. 4.

PAINTERS END
STRIKEOF DAY.
Men Return to Work when
Union Rules Walkout Or
der Unconstitutional.

After a strike of one day. $50 paint
ers returned to work yesterday. The
decision was made at meeting held
at Planters Hall. Four-and-a-haf
street and Pennsylvania avenue
northwest, on Monday evening. At
that time the action Of the union in
declaring strike on last Friday was
declared unconstitutional.
The painters constitution calls for
q sixty to ninety days notice TO all
employers In case OF a strike. This
is to allow the employers to rush
work under contract to take on
extra men IL need be and to finish all
such work under the old scale OF
wages. New contracts can then be
made under the new wage scale.
The painters. who are now receiv-
ing rs cents per hour. are asking for
81 per hour to make the wages from
an eight-hour day approximate those
of the former time and overtime day.
Overtime work has recently been
dropped.
A committee was appointed to meet
the employers of the painters and
request higheA wages. The commit
tee consists Of Hugh ID. Digney.
George N. Miles. f. G. Hancock.
Harry Burd. Harry Peter Bender and
William Zell.

OWEN FAVORS
TRADE DRIVE
Senator Leaving for Europe
Given Farewell Dinner
By Friends.

4 A program for Americas readjust-
ment after the war was outlined by
Senator Robert L. Owen in an adj
dress at a farewell dinner given 20
him yesterday afternoon by the Ma
tional Popular Government Leag DE.
of which he Is president.
The full employment OF labor and
capital must be maintained" he said,
',a.d at wages which shall ec Iitabiy
distribute the national product. To
this end the volume OF our interna-
tional trade should be kept up. using
government-owned ships and provid-
ing for cheap transportation to the
seaboard. including good roads
throughout the nation"
But the main factor in an effective
and lasting reconstruction, he said.
'tis to be the rapid extension of the
mechanism of popular government so
as to enable the peoples representa-
tives to open up the avenues of COM
merce and permit the free develop
ment of Individual Initiative"
He cited the large annual production
in the United States as basis from
which high wages are logically due.
There was an amusing introduction
of the Senator by the chairman. Will
lam Kent. former Representative, now
of the Tariff Commission. He pre-
sened a huge bunch of transportation
tickets and coupons, also large trav-
cling bag. and requested him as the
leagues representative to travel widely
and report fully European conditions.

COMEBACK"
COMES OUT
Society Girls to Sell Paper
Published by Soldiers at
Walter Reed.

The "freakiest" newspaper ever pub
lished will make its appearance on the
streets of Washington today. II is
the Comeback, written. edited and
printed by and for wounded men at
Walter Reed Hospital
The paper is freaky in half dozen
ways. In the first place, though nomi-
nally a newspaper. news is OF second
airy Importance. Cheerfulness and hu-
man reconstruction come first.
In the second place. though the col
umns of it's first issue today are filled
largely by writers OF the dollar-a-
word class. the writing didn't cost one
penny nor ever will. The Come Back
pays no salaries to anybody.
Finally. the paper is freakiest of
all, perhaps. in that it hopes soon
to be forced out of business-the
sooner the better.
For when IL goes out of business.
that fact will mean there are no
more men at Walter Reed needing
treatment.
Circulation isn't going to cost a
penny, either Nevertheless. it prob
ably will be large for it will be sold
by some of the prettiest girls in
Washington.
The "Venus-news-b boys" will have
Stands" at strategical points all
over the city. One or two will be
in the Hobbies of each of the the

will be canvassed. and finally a squad
will patrol the Union Station. so that
no one will be able to come in OF
leave town without buying a Come

HERMAN'S REPLY

Emil Herman was bro't before
Judge NeNterer Of the Federal
District Court on Monday, June
Bird for announcement of SEN
tence. During his spare moments
while confined in the King County
jail he had prepared some seven
teen reasons why sentence should
not be imposed. These he there
upon presented to the Judge. They
are as follows:
"Why | Should Not Be Sentenced
l. Because / did not have a
fair and impartial trial.
2. Because in arriving at their
verdict of "Guilty" on counts
and A Of the Indictment the jury
were swayed by prejudice instead
of by the evidence in the case
3. Because | have no knowl-
edge or feeling of wrong doing
OF violating any law, or of intent
to violate any law.
4. Because it will hamper the
cause Of Democracy and of per-
manent world peace to confine me

5. Because | have always been

6. Because to sentence an in

will create doubt in the minds of

FOR HERMAN'S DEFENSE

We feel quite certain that we
will secure reversal of Com
rade Herman's conviction i'm the
Circuit Court of Appeals. Not
only is that our opinion, but we
have gotten good tips that the
attorneys for the prosecution are
OF the same opinion. althO they
would not openly admit it. We
have secured the services of Judge
w. X. Bell, of Seattle, to perfect
and carry on the appeal. Judge
Bell is the best man that could
have been gotten for this work,
being well versed in Federal
Court procedure, and experienced
in this class of cases.
Now, it will take considerable
money to pay the costs of this
appeal. To give you some idea:
The first thing to be done in
appealing is to get a transcript
of the testimony, instructions,
etc: In Herman's case this was
estimated to cost S145. The prelim-
mary expenses of the case were
paid from the General Defense
Fund of the Socialist Party. This
fund was established by the late
Convention, to be kept up by the
sale of soc Defense Stamps. The
amount collected in this fund up
to date has been completely ex-
hausted 1t must be replenished.
The purchase of these stamps is
voluntary, but anyone may buy
them and in any number. Send
your order or contribution to the
