The Robesonian., 1918-06-24
France, May II, 1918.


Dear Papa:
I had a right good laugh when /
read my last Robesonian and found
out that I'd been in battle and CO RE
through with only broken arm. My
arm isn't broken and never has been.
/ had right severe sprain last fall
but it is all right now. Where my
regiment is stationed Pm as safe as
if / were at home. don't know how
long we will be stationed here. One
never knows in the army but l think
we will be here for some time yet.
I don't know when we will get our
chance on the front but hope we VIII
before the summer is over.
I am still driving truck and ike
it very much. ! had nice trip
few weeks ago, something over 3oo
miles through the country. There
were four of US in the convoy and t
took US more than three days and
nights. We would spend the night IN
any village we were in when night
came. One village we stopped IN we
had to get permission from the mayor
to stay over night, but he was kind
cid fellow. We found him working IL
his garden. When he saw we were
Americans he couldn't do enough for
us. / don't think he had ever seen
one before. Our trip back on the
train took almost as much time as It
did in trucks, they were so awful.y
slow. One place on the way back we
reached about II at night. 1t was cold
and raining and we were broke, SO
couldn't go to hotel, but there was
an American camp. However, fney
had no place for US and we d1dnt
have our blankets, so they told US
there was fire in the guardhouse
so we told them to lead US to it. we
were tired and sleepy, so we spread
our overcoats on the floor, which was
concrete, and slept en- them. l don't
think / would have slept better IN
bed. =,
wish / could tell you of all the
the interesting things and places l
saw but don't suppose it would get
through.
Your affectionate son,
OLIN EDENS.
(Glad to know the information OF
The Robesonian was in error about
the broken arm-Editor.)

WhOOpIng Cough.
In this disease it is important that
the cough be kept loose and expectora-

Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Mrs.

gave them Chamberlain's Cough Rer.-

Donna Easley, whose singing has
thrilled and cheered thousands Of SOL
diers In national army and national
guard camps throughout the United
States, will sail for France on January
20 to sing to the American soldiers in
the trenches.
Miss Easley is a coloraturo soprano,
and her singing so aroused the appre-
citation of the men that the name of
the Nightingale of the, Army Camps"
was given her.
Miss Easley has covered the coun-
try from Cody in the west to Devens
in the east and she has toured the
south, covering practically every large
camp.
While at Kelley field, the aviation
training ground near Fort Sam Hous-
ton, she was taken up in one of the
new biplanes by the birdmen and CIV

Whenever the arrival Of Miss Eas,
ley is announced in camp a large
throng Of soldiers, all who can pos
sibly get off, manage to be present at
the concert.
The boys "over there" will get some
real entertainment.

proving Fuel Administrator Garfield's order follows
Il of consulted by Mr. Garfield before the fuel
order of yesterday issued fully agreed with him
much regretted the necessity This calls
for sacrifices and sacrifices of the called by this
order infinitely less than sacrifices of life which might
wise be involved 1t absolutely to get the ships
is absolutely to relieve the congestion at the ports
and the railways absolutely to great
quantities of food and it absolutely that people
should be warmed in their homes nowhere halfway
would not have accomplished the desired ends.
M action such this had not been taken should have
mped along from day to day with slowly improving
of affairs with regard to the shipment of food and of
without such immediate relief had become absolutely
because of the congestions of traffic which
the last few months.
Il have every confidence that the result of action
sort will justify and that the of the country will
and pariotcay respond to necessities of this kind they have
other sacrifice involved in the
footing and confident that the people of the United

Will RELEASE
SHORT LINES

WASHINGTON. Jan. 19.-Director
General McAdoo. summoned before the
senate interstate commerce commit
tee today to explain the operation of
government administration of rail
roads, said that certain so-called short
line railroads would be released from
government operations as soon as in.
vestigations now under way determin-
ed it was not necessary.
In explaining the purpose Of the ad.
ministration railroad legislation Mr.
McAdoo said he did not propose to
keep control of any unnecessary lines
and not have the government confis-
cate those not taken over.
CAS- far as I can say after three
weeks preliminary investigation, said
Mr. McAdoo, II don't contemplate TAX.
ing over any road not necessary for
the governments war purposes and if
some interest necessarily gets hurt
by it. they will have to stand it,
Director General McAdoo said that
if it should develop that operation of
canals was necessary they might be
taken over. He added that operation
will also be extended to inland water
ways.

CONGESTION
ON EASTERN
ROADS BEING
RELIEVED
Bunker Coal Being Unloaded,
But Few Empty Cars Are
Being Sent Back to the
Mines Yet.
THEATRES ARE RELIEVED

WASHINGTON, Jan. ia steadily
increasing flow of coal to ships, house
holders and public utilities was report
ed to the fuel administration today as
a result of the second days enforce
ment of the fuel restriction order
Apparently the railroad congestion
had not yet been much affected by the
order but miider weather conditions
had improved the situation in the east
and at the same time bad weather
paralyzed traffic again in the middle
west.
Business interests today seemed to
feel better about the governments ac-
ton and hundreds OF kilograms reach
ed the White House and the fuel ad-
ninistration assuring the government
of cooperation and a willingness TO
undergo sacrifices as patriotic duty.
In Greater Volume.
Coal was reported today reaching
the seaboard in greater volume than
at any time in the last few weeks. The
movement, if kept up, it was declared.
will make it possible to bunker and
send out all ships now held in port by
lack OF fuel
Homes and public utilities were re-
ceiving supplies of fuel diverted from
the industries closed down.
The diversion was delayed deliver
les and unloading and slowing UP the
movement of empty cars back to the
mines. Coal production for the next
few days probably will be far below
normal but fuel administration offic-
ials expect it to increase as soon as
the flow of empties is under way.
The railroad situation in the middle
west was so serious that Secretary Nc
Adoo, director general of the railroads.
decided to suspend passenger train
schedules to relieve locomotives for
freight. At the same time the railroad
administration was rushing locomo-
tives out of repair shops and from
railroads In the west to help get trains
through the heavy snow drifts in
states along the Ohio river. The rail
roads OF the middle west were report
ed moving only from twenty to forty
percent of their normal freight.
Will Continue on Seaboard.
Freight congestion on wharyes along
the Atlantic seaboard officials said.
will continue until ships are bunkered
and set free. The shipping board and
the war and navy department turned
their attention to speeding up loading
arrangements and perfecting 4 plan
for more efficiency in loading and un-
loading.
Theatres today won their appeal
for a modification of the closing or
der to permit them to remain open
on the Monday holidays and close on
Tuesday in the week.
After request from the shipping
board the fuel administration TODAY
ruled that lumber mills working ON
emergency fleet contracts are exemp,
from the order and at the same time
1t refused to exempt a long list Of in
dustries which government officials
wanted excepted because they are de-
clared to be working on war orders.
