MIR. WILSON'S INFLUENCE

President Wilson may be an ideal
list. Some say he is just that Hi.
influence and power may be overes
tlmated. Some think it is &C. New
erthcless, his voice and counsel is no
tent throughout the world. The ma
tons are not at all willing to under
take the great work of the peace
conference in his absence. 1t hhs
been said, and to his honor, that he
Is not n politician. What is infinite

Christian statesman, who believes in
and worships God and Jesus Christ.

Dear Mother and Father and Kids:
Received your letter few days
ago, and was, of course, always glad
to hear from home and more than
glad you are all we'll

man hardy ever writes many letters,
but we are all working dreadfully
hard, but hope l can hold out ut it a
while yet, which, of course, l will,
for Jerry" don't want to hurt me.
There are Il few things along that
line | would love to tell you, but
guess l can't just now.
All the soldiers seem to be in n
great mood now as peace is being
quite a conversation among the boys,
but think it will be some little time
yet before the right peace is made.
Had letter from papa since had
one from mama, and the rest of the
Kids, and | sure am proud you are
getting along so fine. Many times
| wonder and worry about you hay
ing so much work to do and Kemu
end my self both away. But lets hope
that the Lord will soon end this
struggle and we can be as we once
were, for once we had happy home,
but many changes have been made in
the past year and half.
| am doing all that's in NV power
to make good soldier, as | know
that's what you all expect of me and
you shall never be disappointed. This
IL Il hard road to travel, something
that not many of us were ever IN
against before, but we have too much
read blood in us to worry much about
hardships.
Capt. Stras is still in command of
our battery. | know you are glad that
am still with him, and we have n
very fine, cool-hcaded man for an

from, but he is fine military man
and perfect gentleman, too. | heard
Dewey Bowman was killed. Is that
fact or just 4 rumor? Where is
Ed, and his mother. Give them nv
best regards. Gee, but | wish YOU
could have seen the place slept in
last night and seen me when crawl
cd out this morning. John Whitaker
was IL good looking man to the side
of me and thousands of others in the
same fix.
Where are Grace Daniel and Pearl
and did Jim have to register? Is
Josephine at home and how are thcv
getting along.
Give me Kemp's, Grandma Presley
and Sallie's address and / will write
to them and Hates also, and see if
they will write me once in a while
And give me the address of all the
boys from home that's in France,
and some day | may run across some
of them. would give anything to see
VIII Reese over here, and hear him
express his opinion of the German
American war
Mother, don't have chance to
write you very often and papa is
hard to get a hold of, so don't blame
me when you all don't hear often,
Tor l write every chance I have.
There is nothing of interest can
write, unless you could read between
the lines, SO ! had as well quit for
