LA PAZ, Bolivia, Casilla 8, July Il,

Dear DR.. and Mrs. Bragg,
Mexico, Mo.
II is my sad duty as a pastor to
write, you about the death Of Nh.
I O'Rear.
He was infected with smallpox, fall
ing sick July /, but we did not know
until July 4th what was the matter
John D., jr., was Immediately taken
out to the house Of a friend, two nurs.
es Ga man and his wifel were imme-
diately employed and the doctor and
all of US thought it best for Mrs
0'Rear to leave the house also, so she
came to stay with us, and has beer
here since the 9Th Of July.
Friday we employed another mar
experienced in nursing smallpox t
help. | have gone several times {
day to the house, and twice went il
to see Mr.. 0Rear, taking every pre-
caution to disinfect myself well wher
| came out. Mrs. 0Rear, although
prostrated at first, has borne ul
bravely and gone every day two o.
! three times to see if she could do any
thing. Mr.. 0'Rear insisted on he
staying out, for her own sake AM
also for John D., jr.'s. 1t was only tn
. baby that kept her out. Although
she knew that she could do nothing.
Last night, the 18th, the doctor toll
me he was uneasy but still hopeful
At O'Clock this morning there wa
no charge and we were hopeful tia
/. the crisis has passed, but at 4 o'cloc
! the disease struck his heart and l.
4 passed away quietly. He himself ha
4 thought before that he could not re
i cover and had become resigned. w
: thought he surely would recover, sy
S en- until the last.
s We have all, including Mrs. 0'Rea
: and John D., jr., been vaccinated agai
: and have taken every precaution t
disinfect very thoroughly. So yo
r need not worry about Mrs. O'Rea
e and the boy.
r As you probably know, Mrs. ORES
= and Mrs. Hartzell have long bee
+ friends and Mrs. O'Rear Is being care
for and helped in every way possibl
:. John D., jr., will come here now, ar
! has only been kept away until nil
d days had passed since his mamma hs
: been in the house, to be sure she W.
= not infected. There are many frien,
II who will help in every. way possibl
l. you can be sure Of that.
IS Words cannot express our sorro1
Il and trust that you will impart
y Mr.. o'Rear's people our expression

RUSSIA WILL
EVENTUALLY AID ALLIES

Judge Alex Carter. presiding judge
Of the Audrain county court, had as
his guest Monday Witold Powlowski,
civil engineer and a member Of the
Russian Commission sent 10 this eoun-
try by the Prince Lvof government,
the first democracy Of Russia, to H.
spect conditions here Mr.. Powlow-
ski says that as soon as the peasants
Of Russia realize the necessity Of CO.
operating with the educated elasse-
there, Just that soon will stable gov
ernment be established in that nation.
Kerensky, who later became secro-
tary Of State Of Russia under the B' !
wiki was Minister Of Justice under the
Prince Lvoff government Mr.. Pow
lowski says Kerensky is an idealist and
does not believe in force to overcome
those who oppose stable government
in Russia. He would not state wheth-
CT Kerensky was subsidized by TIE
Germans.
Mr.. Powlowski speaks only broken
English. He says that Nthere was
practically no bloodshed connected
with the revolution when it first de-
vcloped ard as he left Russia almcst
Immediately with the Commission ne
saw 70 rioting. He states that some
Of the BolsheVikl leaders were from
4 New ork "for wlrch Russia does MT
/ thank The United States" he remark
ed smilingly.
He says the educated people of Ru,
sia are friendly with the Allies aaj
w4fen the peasant classes understand
what the Allies intend doing for Rus
siaythey will cooperate. The Bolshe.
wiki, according to Mr.. Powlowski, is
made up of the industrial classes Of
Russia, which is but two per cent Of
the population. Many of the Bolshe.
vik leaders are from other countries
and are undeniably in the pay of Ger
mafy, having no thought Of Russia:
future and being internationalists car
ing little for what may be the out,
come of the revolution other than tha
it satisfy their own ambitions.
Mr. Powlowski was in Petrograt
at the time of the Revolution, He say
most of the regular soldiers Of Rus
sia had been killed early in the wa
and that the army at that time wa
composed of, men who had been civil
ians and who were not in favor of tn,
Gar as was the regular army or mel
trained for years as soldiers.
He says the government of the Unit
ed States must be satisfactory as tn
people generally seem pleased with J!
