LETTER FROM
ALBERT LAUER
France, April 6.

Dear Mother:
Wen it has been a long time
since | have written, and a longer
time since | have heard from you,
or any one else. L have had just
two letters since | have been over
here-one from Helen and one from
Lily, and they were sent to New
York.
We have been in the trenches and
are out again. 1t isn't nearly so bad
as you imagine it to be- Nothing like
you think it is.
Have W heard from Homer yet;
| haven't seen him since we left the
old company but some of the boys
that are with me have seen him.
There was someone over TO see
me the other day, but | was not here
think it must have been Homer.
Well what do you think ot this
paper or stationery; l should say,
it gets me, but it is the best | can
do. What is the news at home; l
hope every one is well
l am feeling fine and happy Am
at the Y. NJ. C. A; we just had
prayer. Oh, you don't know how it |
makes a boy feel because We all
know that you and every mother is
praying for her sons. A boy never
knows what mother is to him, till
he gets over here, then he finds
that a mother lis everything a boy
has got. So you see when he hears
anything spoken about a mother or
what they are doing you can ina
gine how we feel.
Well l do not know what else to
say, so will close for the present.
With Love, Your loving son,
Albert Lauer

DEBATE THROUGH DAY
PROHIBITION ADVOCATES CON SENT TO DISPLACEMENT OF PET MEASURE AS WIRE CON TRoL IS CONSIDERED MORE IM- PoRTANT AT PRESENT
By Review Leased Wirel


 WASHINGTON. July 11.-Adoption tomorrow by the senate of the house resolution empowering the president 10 acquire telegraph. telephone. cable and radio systems and a summer va cation for congress. with national war time prohibition legislation postponed until after the recess. was the pro gram framed today by congressional leaders
 Senate debate on the administration wire control resolution was began to- day after the $1l 100000 emergency agricultural prohibition bill with it's prohibition amendment has been laid aside temporarily With a vote ex- pected tomorrow or not later than Saturday. approval of the resolution without amendment almost universal ly conceded. Leaders of the senate and house renewed negotiations to postpone the prohibition issue and car " out original plans for a recess or adjournment until about August I2.
 Prohibition advocates assented to temporary displacement sof the agri- cultural measure because the wire con trol resolution is regarded by the ad- ministratiOn as an urgent necessity. If prohibition managers finally insist on immediate disposition of the pro hibition legislation. leaders believe vote might be recorded early next week and congress then start on it's vacation.
 The wire control resolution was de- bated in the senate virtually all day. Opponents emphasized lack of infor- nation regarding its military necessity and insisted that further hearings are necessary before intelligent action can be taken.
 Pressing the resolution on the ground that President wilson regards its grant of authority as a military ne cessity. Senator Smith and Senator Underwood of Alabama said no pres ent exigency Is known to require it's use but that 1t Is to arm the presi- dent with power for it should it arise Opposition came principally from re- publicans. Senator Smith of Michigan vehemently declared government con trOl of communication systems was a step toward socialism with dangers Of press censorship. while Senator Kel- log Of Minnesota declared congress is asked to act without opportunity for information or reasons for it's enactment. Senators Borah of Idaho and Harding Of ohio. also de- manded information regarding its ne cessity.
 Amendments proposing to except telephone systems and telegraph wires leased by press associations from the resolutions operations were intro duced by Senator Watson of Indiana, republican.

POSSES FAIL TO

(By Review Leased Wire)
 PAOLA, Kans.. July 11.-After an all day search of the brush wood bordering the Marais De Cygne river, home guards, sher- ifs posses and volunteers, num- bering about 250 men, returned to- night without having found a trace of the bandits who conducted the spectacular midnight robbery near here of a passenger train on the Missouri, Kansas & Texas rail road. Some of the searchers ex- pressed the belief that the band its, who escaped in a motor car, had probably reached Kansas City.
 According to posal and express company employees, the bandits obtained only a small amount.
 Four persons on the train were wounded during the shooting, which it seems was indulged in by the robbers to intimidate the passengers. The injured were taken to a hospital at Parsons. It was thought all of them would recover.

WITH THE AMERICAN TROOPS ON THE MARINE, July II (By The Associated Press).-A large German patrol which attempted to raid the American trenches on the Marne front this morning was broken up and routed in confusion.

 In recognition of the valiant services of the American troops when they stopped the German rush on Paris in the second battle of the Marne, cap turing Bois De Belleau, routing the German machine gun nests and estab- fishing themselves in commanding po- sitions on the Marne sector, the French authorities have officially changed the name Rois De Belleau to Bois de La Brigade de Marine and nave ordered all maps changed accord ingly.
