Everett Rundlett Writes

Everett Rundlett. now in camp at
Long Island, N. Y, has written his
parents. MIR. and Mrs. Dell Rundlett, a
very interesting letter descriptive of
his trip thither from Camp Custer and
of the strange scenes in the great camp
where he is now located. He tells of
the beauties of the Hudson river, flow
ing majestically along at the foot of
mountains and cliffs for many miles, as
he saw it from the car window, and of
the carefully cultivated crops on the
hillsides, which looked like small gar
dens. He also describes his trip
through the Allegheny mountains and
of passing through several tunnels.
This part of his trip, he says, was
especially charming and wonderful.
From New York to Long Island the
trip was made by ferry boat, and Ev-
erett says Camp Mills is merely "rest
camp" where soldiers get their full
outfit of clothes and equipment, pre-
paratory to going overseas, that he may
be there week or possibly month.
The men sleep in tents, on cots, eight
men to tent, and eat their meals
while sitting on the ground near the
kitchen. Everett says it reminds him
of school days when he held his dinner
pail on his lap. He describes the aero
planes as being much in evidence and
says he counted fifteen of them in the
air at one time, sailing above the camp
like great hawks and diving swiftly, at
times, as the hawk dives after chick
en-. He says they have always a cool
breeze from the ocean and that the
crops look poor in that section of the
country, with the exception of grapes
(which are grown in many large vim
yards) and potatoes. He also states
that the Y. M. c. A. men who were
with his regiment at Camp Custer are
going to France with them and that he
is as anxious to go as anyone. He fur
ther says that his health is superb and
that sickness is rare thing among the
soldiers.

Burglars in Clio

Sometime last Friday night thieves
entered three places of business in Clio
but secured, so far as is known, only
small amount of booty. The places en-
tered were Diamond G. Co.'S store, Ste
vens' pool room and the interurban
station office. At Diamond e. Co.'S
store the thieves took pole and smash
ed out one of the panes of glass in a
rear door, entering through the aper-
ture thus made, but they must have
been frightened away before complet-
ing their work as nothing of value was
taken so far as has been discovered.
At the pool room entrance was forced
through rear door and here about $1.50
in cents, quantity of tobacco and two
pipes were taken. At the interurban
station the marauders smashed in a
rear window with chunk of coal from
a nearby coal bin, raised the window and
looked for valuables, but as what small
change there was in the office had been
put in the safe and nothing else of
value was in sight, their quest was
fruitless. There is no clue as to the
identity of the criminals, but this much
seems probable: that they were &C
quainted with the places they entered
and that they will continue their GRIM
nal operations until they are caught,
the latter prediction being based upon
the usual course of such people.

itself to his lordship, the President

offers to conclude with him and his
allies an armistice on every front on
land, at sea and in the air and to
enter Immediately upon negotiations
for peace for which the fourteen
points in the message of President
Wilson to congress of Jan. 8, 1913,
and the four points contained in
Wilson's address of Feb.
