Letter from Sergeant A. II. Dagger
Dear Mr.. Christensen,
You may wonder why / have not
written but to tell the truth a fellow
hardly has the time to shave him.
self after the days work is over. I
nave been In some places where we
were lucky to get a drink of water
and there have been times when we
went four and five days without get
ting washed. Believe me, I will be
glad of the day when I land back in
h good old u. s. A. where there is
plenty of water and other things a
fellow needs to feel like a human be-
ing.
We have done some travelling since
we got over here. 1 have been in
England and seen about all there is
to see of France.
We have been on the march for
about four nights, as all the move
ment of troops is done then, and were
coming up to go into the front lines
and follow up a drive that we did not
know had come off, when all of a
sudden the whole sky was lighted up
as IL the world was af1re.
Believe me. 1t tool all the nerve a
fellow had to stand up under the
noise. Then some one hollered for
ward march and we all started going
back until we got our wind and then
straight ahead we went. / will never
forget that night as long as 1 live; to
tell you the truth l cannot explain
the sight. I do not believe the Ger
mans will ever forget that night
either for they were chased back ~
far that u troops could not keep
up with them.
The other day I had a pretty close
call when Jerry dropped a shell about
ten feet from me. He got thirteen
in all-killing four and wounding
nine. / was hit with some small
pieces of shell and got a black y
and a few little scratches.
At this job of mine 1 work harder
and have longer hours than 1 eyer
had before in my life. After break
fast we have to go for rations. which
is a ten-mile journey, and also get
hay and grain for the horses. / also
have two wagons to look after be-
sides keeping $50 men in clothes and
shoes. so o see I am busy most Of
the time.
Your friend.

mcnts Between Government and La
Dor.
St. Louis, Mo-, April 4.-Warning
that the continuance OF industrial
strife in the United States may mean
the needless sacrifice OF the lives of
American soldiers in France was given
yesterday by Charles Duncan, member
of the British parliament and secre-
tary of the Workers Union of Eng
land, in an address before the st.
Louis Chamber of Commerce.
"If the United States wants to play
a dominant part in the war; he said,
"an immediate agreement between the
government, labor and capital must be
made to insure the production of sup
plies"
William Moses, a representative OF
the labor supply department of the
British munitions ministry, said that
feeling between labor and capital
seemed more acute in the United
States than in England. This is prob
ably due, he said, to an absence of dis
cipline en- the part Of labor, and lack
of sympathyand open-mindcdness on
the part of employers.

| New York, April 4.-are German
spies operating in some mysterious
way in causing the death Of their
spies in this country whose arrest

ment that has stricken Nine. Eliza

Junkcr family, at her cell IN Ellis Is,

1t was first believed that she was
suffering from an attack of appendi-
citis. The surgeons viii announce
positively their diagnosis some time
today.

head of spy system in this country,
died last Saturday after an illness of
only a few days. Pneumonia was
given as the cause of her death.

member of the band arrested. on

ment.
Comtc Robert de Clairmont, men,
Der of the band, is suffering from q
fatal disease, said to be cancer of the
stomach. He was removed yesterday
to Bellevue Hospital, and is under
guard.
Ii is believed by French officials
that an arm of the German spy sys-
tenn is seeking to carry off those who
may tell some truths about the Ger
man spy system if they face firing

The band was being detained at
Ellis Island pending their deportation

exquisite color and though the yellow
rose had seen many pink roses it was
sure 1t hadn't seen one of just that
very same shade.
Il don't believe you have" said the
pink rose. '>for I an new kind of a
rose. / have only been trained to do
what | was told to do lately. Ny grand
mother made her debut last spring"
What in the world is a debut?"
asked the yellow rose.
"a debut is when a rose makes It's
first appearance and first bow TO the
world.
They use that word" continued the
pink rose, when speaking OF girls
after they have become young ladies
and are ready 10 go to grown-up
dances and balls. But with rose they
use it meaning roses first appear

The yellow rose dropped a petal in
