A Letter From Over There.
Somewhere in France,
April Sth, 1918.
Dear Sis and Adeline:

Dear Sis and Adeline:
[ have just received your sweet
letter and also one from Charles
and real glad to hear from you all.
| am just fine. Have been up and
done my bit in the trenches and of
course it is not like home by any
means. Bullets sing so fast over
our heads / sometimes think it is
raining bullets. | was awakened
last Thursday morning by some
large shells bursting around my bill
let. No one hurt except the ones
killed a month ago. Nine killed in
my company and one got his leg
blown off, broke the other one and
one arm and got several flesh
wounds. If he gets well he will go
back to the States. That Vas caus-
ed from an explosive shell. Killed
two mules and wounded several
others. You have asked me what
we have to eat. Have one can con-
densed milk, one box hard bread is
something like a cracker only hard
as a rock. | have broken some of
my teeth eating them. Sleep in a
barn, sometimes on the ground.
Sometimes we have rice cooked in
water. No butter, sugar or salt,
and fire, no such good luck. |
received one box of cigarettes
about one month ago. Sister,
believe we will conquer the Ger
mans but we will be some time do
ing it. ! believe we will be over
here for two years. The Germans
have shot some of the French towns
down even with the ground. 1t is
a shame the way they have treated
the women and children in France.
The Germans have been on French
soil all the while until the Sam
mics came and now they have them
back on their own soil. Have been
very few American soldiers killed.
| am sure glad that Tom and Win
have such good positions and are
not over here. But | am real glad
that | am here and would not ac-
cept an honorable discharge, for l
think it is my duty to be in this
worldwide war,
They had a hard battle all night
last night. You could hear these
guns for miles and miles. | was
only three kilometers away from the
third line trenches and Just could
not sleep al all. noticed one of
Germany's so mile guns which had
been shooting in Paris, was blown
up. | have been in one German
town, also Ireland, Canada. Eng
land, France, Russia, and one town
in Germany. Sister, l Just wish
you could see some of the dead
people on the battlefield some time.
Some blown all to pieces. Pick
them up piece by piece and put
them on litter | will close for
this time. Write real soon and a
long, long letter.
As ever your dear brother.

STOCKS SHOW F|RMNESS
SH|PP|NGS ARE FACTOR

NEW YORK. July 12.-Shipping
and specialties impaired some degree
of strength to the general list in the
early dealings of todays stock mar
ket.
Marine preferred gained almost a
point, while Atlantic gulf and Su-
matra tobacco rose points.
Industrials showed perceptible i'm
provement under lead of United States
Steel and Crucible Steel. and equip
ments were fractionally better.
Most of these gains were materially
extended during the first half hour
Trading settled down to its recent
sluggish course after the early de-
mand had been satisfied, subject to
variations in some of the more specu-
lative issues.
For example. Sumatra Tobacco's g.
point gain was followed by a reac-
ton of that much. and other special
ties yielded some of their advantages
United States Steel featured an
other moderate advance in the second
hour with shippings, American
Woolen, American Can and United
States Rubber. but another setback
ensued at noon on the heaviness of
Reading.
Liberty 3Ks sold at $3.50 to 1854

94.os to 9+.15 and AIS at 95.sS to
1896.
The midday reaction carried Read
Ing a point under yesterdays final
price. but this was soon retrieved.
Lackawanna Steel broke rs, and
United States Steel lost all but small
fraction of its advance. N

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

CHICAGO. July 12.-Sharp advances
in the value of corn took place today,
owing more or less to active demand
from millers and to prospects that the
movement of corn to primary centers
might soon be curtailed. Continued
need of greater heat and moisture
tended also to put the bears at dis
advantage. Most of the purchasing
was ascribed to shorts. Opening
prices. which ranged from u to rs
higher. with August 1.60 to 1.6o12 and
September LEO to 1.60A, were fol-
lowed by decided further gains.
Oats bulged with corn. In the ad-
vance. however. hedging sales became
noticeable and acted as a check on
the bulls. After opening unchanged
to &c higher. with August II to 72K I.
the market steadied at a slight fur
ther gain. Higher quotations on hogs
and grain lifted provisions. Offerings
We're light on the way up.

where the fighting has been the hot
test. The Germans know the country
and are able to drop big shells with
great accuracy on the roads the ambu-
lances must travel.
"Our work Is never out Of range Of
the big guns" said he. I'VE 60 up to
the third-line trench, gather the
wounded and take them back mile to
the dressing station. Here only the
toughest bandaglng is done and then
We start back another mile or so to an
other station where the most desperate
cases are operated upon.
I'm the first week we handle the
wounded four or FIVE times and finally
leave them In the evacuation hospitals.
From there they are carried to the
base hospitals, usually on trains"
Thus the Red Cross ambulance driver
risks his life to get American soldiers
to the surgeons. Lieutenant Dempsey
had his ambulance blown to pieces
while he was a short distance away
picking up wounded man.
When the wounded soldier gets to
the dressing stations or hospitals he is
assured Of the best bandages because
loving hands in America in Red Cross
chapters have prepared them. And a
CHEEKY Red Cross nurse will smooth his
pillow and make his convalescence
pleasant.
The dollars given to the Red Cross
are doing more than 100 cents worth
of good. .....

STEP TO VEIL TARTAR WOMEN
kerchiefs to Hide Face Of
Wives and Daughters.

Petrograd.-The Mohammedan Tar
tar men of Tchistopol district, province
of Kavan, have ordered their wives
and daughters each to sew half a
square Of extra material to the hand
kerchiefs with which they cover their
heads.
The women long ago ceased to veil;
but when meeting unknown men they
took tab Of the bow formed by tying
handkerchiefs beneath the chin, and
held the tab before the face In place
of q veil.
Unluckily, as the handkerchiefs with
the passing Of time grew smaller. the
tabs ceased to cover the face, and the
act became only a symbol. To make 1t
again q reality husbands and fathers
are insisting on bigger handkerchiefs.
