Went out today TO a hospital where
there are $50 U. S. boys. 1t certainly
makes the war seem real and really
mine when | see these Americans in
Hospital Blue" and in bed as | did
today. Most of the toys to whom j
spoke today have been over only a
few weeks-many Of them had been
'smacked" on July 4th. ("Getting my
smack" is an expression for being
wounded). Some of them were very
badly wounded, indeed. saw the
wounds and dressed parts Of few
poor fellows. | won't write details,
but il is pathetic. But by the way the
whole allied force i5 going at the front
these days, especially the Americans,
there may be some ground for hope of
reasonably certain peace in a reas-
enable time--but not this year or the
next was talking recently with a
British colonel, and he was highly en-
thusiastic about the IT, S. boys in
action; said they had serious dash
and feryor aboyt them that was quite
different from the spirit Of any Of the
other forces. He had just come from
the front and had seen some Of the
Americans in action, and had talked
with L. S. officers. The whole attitude
Of the English people, both civilian
and military, is quite enthusiastically
and generously favorable and grateful
toward the U. s. boys.

OclOueT lOIf.
1t may not be long now before we
may have finished our part in the big
task that God has given us to finish
over here. Events are moving so rap
idly these days and hours that it is
quite impossible to foresee the next
weeks turning. ] may come home
from my war work without having
seen any war at all and without being
sent to France. For my own part |
cannot see how peace before Novem-
Der 1st' can possibly come-and you
know | am a chronic optimist, too
but it may come sooner than that and
it may be a tangible thing before this
letter reaches you-so swift are
changes coming. It's certainly giorl-
Gus to know that it is coming with
such certainty and promise of thor
oughness and promise Of permanency,
OF course we knew all the time that
it would, but il has looked far off at
times. Thank God for its nearness
now.
cannot say much more now about
my home coming than | could two
months ago. There are several things
on foot either one Of which might or
might not send me home by the end of
the year, or keep me away much
longer. The social department Of the
Y. NJ. c. A. headquarters is talking
of sending me out as a part Of a
Concert Party" TO entertain the boys
at the scores Of camps in North Eng
land and Scotland and along the Irish
coast among the sailors. And the re-
igious department is considering
sending me out TO do straight scrioIs
religious speaking in the same camps
and places. Then just today it de-
yelops that ther is a clear call from
over there" for 200 secretaries from

II ought TO be found peeping out at Us
I from some angle Of the crooked
streets. There is, however, at Epson
IA town in between London anc
Dorking--an inn with the famous
Dickens name, and we really did have
the pleasure of seeing the swinging
sign Of the Marquis Of CRANKY
EPSON is the place which for many
years, perhaps centuries, has been a
famous racing town; the place where
the Derby was run every year-a very
swell sporting town. am told that in
pre-war times the roads between Lon
don and EPSON during racing week
would be one continuous procession Of
horse vehicles: singles, doubles,
four-in-hands and stages, with all
sorts Of gay deckings and bright col
ored costumes, and merrymaking and
fashionables. The races lasted several
days, ! believe, and were sort Of
horse show and circus combined, with
the usual annual fellowship gathering.
It's about ID miles from London and
looks sporty" but decayed. Dorking,
however, is alive and awake, and is
evidently not dependent upon spas
modic sports for its welfare. 1t lies
in between rolling wood and grassy
hills, which are very attractive to look
at, and most enticing on a day like
this. So you see have had quite a
day in the open--at least five hours.
Reached home in time for my evening
program, Of course, and have been do
ing the usual things around the floor
since the program closed. 1t is good
to get out in the open, and every mile
of road. while it is quite modern with
its up to date suggestions for suscep-
tible travellers to try all sorts Of pills,
papers and appliances whose merits
are displayed with the customary in
sistency, is still-at least to me just
alive with suggestions Of the old days
when Tony Weller and his ilk swung
Mostly along with their assumed care
lessness and real responsibility, and
the sound of the "taly-ho' rang over
the fields and rolled and reverbrated
over the distant hills and valleys.
While we waited for just minute
at Westminster Bridge here in London
for tram car to connect US with the
"bus," we saw the Lord Mayor Of
London in full state regalia, attended
by three golden coaches with glitter
aass~eaparisoned horses and bedecked
drivers and assistants or "staff," drive
by on his way from some grand func-
ton at Westminster back to the Man
sion House-his official residence,
where he was to entertain the Mayor
of Rome, Prince Coloma who was with
him in the swellest golden coaches.
This is Italy's week in London, and
the Princely Mayor of Rome came to
town yesterday with the Italitn Band,
called the "Royal Band of Caribun-
iures' and all courtesy is being paid
to the flag and representatives of
Sunny Italy.
1t was a pretty sight yesterday to
see the band march past the Hut, at
ended by the Royal Scotch Band, all
n full dress-great red and gold for
he Royal Scotch with those immense
zig furry high hats that we used to
all the pioneers" and the Italian
Band in subdued but rich uniforms.

JAMES JOHNSON

1t was with considerable surprise
that Mlnot citizens learned Wednes-
day morning that James johnson, one
OF the pioneers Of Ward county, had
consented to become candidate for
president Of the city commission and
his entrance into the political fight
at this time, makes the situation
unique and in many ways most, inter
estlng.
Mr. Johnson did not seek to become
a candidate and in fact it was with
considerable reluctance that he con-
sented to run. A number of promi-
nent men of the city, representing
various interests, called on him at his
office Tuesday night and urged him
to allow his name to be used, pledging
MN their support together with thai
OF many others. 1t required a good
deal of persuasion to get his consent.
At the time that Mr.. johnson con-
sented to run, it was thot possible that
w s. Shaw, who had already made his
annonnceemnt, but who had left the
city, might possibly be induced to
witNiraw, leaving the field to Mr..
johnson alone. Since the return of
learned, however, that he has no in
tention of Withdrawing, aud the result
Of the contest between these men will
be watched with a great deal of inter.
est.
Mr.. Johnson is making no pledges
as to what he will do in case he is
elected, except that he will give the
city the same careful business admin
istration which he has given to his
own affairs.
"Jim" Johnson, as he is familiarly
called, has lived in Ward county since
the early eighties, living on a farm
near BurliS,rton until about a year
ago, when he moved to this city. He
has practically been resident of Mi
not all Of these years, however, as he
has always maintained law office
here. He was states attorney of
Ward county for many years, but has
held no public office for the past ten
years or more. He is regarded as one
of the most successful businessmen
in Ward county and is man who has
many warm friends.
