when it comes to selling booze. Over

no more, but they are also allowed
to have as many wholesale licenses.
Iron River was filled up with the
allotted number of saloons but With

Mrs. F. Arseneau,
Dear Madam;
1t is with great regret that
/ must write to you of the death
of your son Fred. Fred was
taken sick on board ship on the
way to France, and the sickness
developed into pneumonia, and
although he made a brave fight
his strength finally gave way on
October Sixth. 1t was a severe
blow to myself and the whole
company, as we'll as a decided
loss to the Army. Fred was a
good soldier, always glad to do
his duty in the great cause for
which we all, mothers as we'll as
sons are fighting.
You may be always proud o
your sons record both as a SOL
der and a man and may always
feel that his good work was ap-
preciated, and that your sorrow
is not forgotten, especially as
am sure can understand how
heavy it is.
Very truly yours,
E. P. Miller,
Capt. Ord. U. S. A.

GERMANY HIDING
AIRCRAFT LOSSES

Paris.-(Correspondence of the
Associated Press. )-Germans are
trying to conceal their airplane
losses and augment those of the en-
tente allies, according to French Of
ficials Their last communique on
the subject said that lin December
the enemy aerial forces have lost
119 airplanes and nine captive bal
looms. We have lost in aerial COM
bats 50 airplanes and two captive
balloons"
- French authorities report that in
December the English brought
down 65 German machines and the
French Al, making a total of 100 in
stead of 81 admitted by the Ger
mans. The French claim of enemy
machines does not include 35 Ger
man machines which were seen to
fall but the loss of which has not
been fficially confirmed. The COM
bined British and French aerial
losses during December were 43
Germany. or these the British lost
80 and the French II.
The German "camoufiage" in the
communique is found in the words
''in aerial combats." It is pointed
out that the Germans forget to in
clude the number of their machines
brought down by anti-aircraft guns
of the allies, while they claim as
losses all allied machines seen to
fall within their own lines and
many of which are virtually undam-
aged.

A team of horses belonging to the
Mccarthy improvement company
of Davenport, narrowly escaped
death in the Mississippi river this
morning, when they tumbled over
the embankment in the rear of the
pumping station of the waterworks
1t was only after half hour of the
hardest kind of work that the team
was finally dragged back onto the
shore One of the horses was
nearly drowned.
The company has been dumping
for several days at this point near
the waterWorks. This morning the
driver piloted this team too close to
the edge of the embankment and
the earth gave way, carrying the
team, wagon and driver with it.
The horses were thrown in the
water, but the wagon kept them
af1oat. Attracted by the cries of
the driver, several other men came
to the rescue and succeeded in
keeping the heads of the animals
above the water until they Olsen
tangled them from the harness and
finally pulled them back to the
shore with ropes.
Several hundred people collected
on the shore to watch the rescue.
