My dear Mother:
Am going to try and write you a

be carried back on this boat. l was
just talking to the censor and tried
to find out what we could write
about, and have made up my mind
that we might as we'll not write, eX

recognize the handwriting and think
I'm still on earth somewhere. He
said we could tell that we weren't
going to France or Italy, so | think
if you watch the papers, as | know
you do, maybe you will find the
place.

thing like it was before the war, but
there are still people there, like in
our cities, that don't seem to know
there is a war going on. They are
mostly those that don't amount to
much, though.
When | first heard that we weren't
going to France and what the con-
nections were with the outside from
where we are going, was very much
disappointed, but after thinking il
all over, and of course we have nc
choice anyway, I've rather made ut
my mind that we are going to have
some great experiences after all. We
will have things to tell that all the
others never heard of, and there are
only few of us compared to the
number in France.

Dear Bob:-
Well, it's time again that | tell you
that with two exceptions, I'm in
pink of condition. One exception, a
boil on my knee and the other a
deuced cough. Two small matters
though compared with diphtheria
or appendicitis, so l claim I'm fine
and dandy.
Where is Fritz and where is Bill?
Have either one of them come across
yet? Funny haven't seen 'em, Ell?
I've walked through every nick of
France except 20 rods down in the
southern part. Guess since | wrote
you last we've moved twice. once 60
kilometers and yesterday rs or so.
I'll be used to hiking soon | hope
and expect if l don't die before I
realize I'm used to it. Can't kill
Hophaner very easy, though, and if
they do, it amt from working.
Well, Bob, you'd laugh your head
off if you could see some of the out
fits they farm with. Guess they
don't have manure spreaders here
because under each window against
the house and on the main street side
is nice juicy pile Of fertilizer The
longer man is over here the less
faith he has on the saying, Santa
ton is the road to health and old
age" The French grow old, but. it
isn't because of their sanitary ways.
If a Frenchman lives so years an
American should live 300 years any,
way. That is if sanitation has pull.
I'm O. K; hope you are, too. Must

and don't expect any for months now
unless it reaches US within the near
future. I'm not going to give up all
hopes, though. If you don't hear
from me for quite long stretch this
winter, don't be alarmed as that is
something that can't be remedied;
however, I'm going to continue writ
| ing all of the time and our mail may
reach you once in great while.
think that if / stock up or plenty
of warm clothing that I'll not have
any trouble while here. 1t has been
very cold on our trip; the wind blows
quite hard all the time. The sea is
rough always, but the waves aren't
very high. The boat rocks and
creaks great deal continually. |
think that after the trip back home,
I'll be able to go most anywhere on
the water and during most any
weather. I've stood all the trips fine
but don't care in the least for them
right now. Tt surely gets tifesome;
no place to go, and nothing to do,
and always going farther away from
everyone at home.
l just stopped to have tea. We
have it every afternoon English,
you know. They are strong for such
things in England. About all the
meats they have are mutton and fab
and you can imagine how much we
care for them. The only thing that
saves our lives is jam, and they have
a lot of that.
We have lot Of fellows of GER
tain nationality in the ships crew.
Don't see how they ever keep>warm
as about all the clothing they have
on is a few towels tied around them.
Only few have shirts and trousers
and most of them are bare-footed.
I wrote you from England but
suppose they will hold all our mail
until we are finally settled.
Our trip is about half over now
and I'll be glad when we land and
get settled, no matter what the place
is like. Then we can look forward
to the time we set sail again for
home. That trip won't seem to be
so long and it is going to be wild
day when we start landing some of
these in the states again. | think
the war will have changed consider
able by this time next year.
| won't attempt to write any more
now, as it's rather difficult to write
on the boat. Will write you lots of
news when we are situated some
where.
Give my love to the girls and every
one. Will write them all later.
Goodbye and best wishes

OBITUARY

William Francis Houston was
born Sept. 9Th, 1913, in Allegheny
county, N. Y. His father was Mat
thew Houston, born in Scotland,
His mother was Annie Rae. All his
ancestors were born in Scotland,
and he was always fond of Scotch
traditions. Before the civil war his
parents moved to Pierce county.
Wis, where he lived until his death
Oct. 9th, 1918.
Dec. 25th, 1873, he was married
to Priscilla Brackin. They resided
a short time in Oak Grove, 4 years
in Diamond Bluff, and 4 years in
Prescott, Wis, in 1886 he moved to
River Falls where he continued to
live until his death.
Three children were born to them,
Cora H. Houston, now Mrs. Newell
Powell; Charles E. Houston, who
married Florence l. Hull, and Ethel
II. Houston, now Mrs. Arnold
Kuenning.
This community, this state, this
nation, lost a good citizen in the
passing of William Houston. There
were few as good and no one bet
ter neighbor than William Houston,
a loyal citizen and helpful friend.
The writer of these lines has
known him in all these capacities
for more than thirty years and only
voices the sentiments of many, for
he was widely known.
In his line of business few were
so we'll qualified and very few SO
honest. | have never heard of a
shady transaction in his business
relations and l have talked with
many men who have had business
transactions with him. It is no
great moral strain to be honest
when it involves no sacrifice, but to
be honest for honesty'S sake
changes the complexion of most ev-
ery business transaction. In mat
tiers where honesty was involved
William Houston would hew to the
line no matter where the chips few
Square dealing was part of his
religion. For any man or business
tainted with dishonesty he had only
contempt.
Out of three score and ten years
of life about three score were lived
in Pierce county. Here he was
married, here he reared and edu'
Gated his family and here he was
laid to rest. He loved children and
they loved him. They were living
testimonials to his kindness, fol-
with the microscopic vision of child
hood they recognized in him their
loving friend. Fortv-five years of q
happy welded life in home where
love presided, in which the great
blessing of children came and grew
into useful men and women.
In the early afternoon Of life his
summons came. He wrapped the
drapery of his couch about him and
lay down to pleasant dreams.
Honesty, integrity, probity In
business, helpfulness as a neigh
Dor, friend and citizen, kindliness
to all, especially to children. These
characteristics of the deceased will
linger in our memory like the per.
fume of beautiful flowers that have
faded and gone and which if exem-
plifed in the attributes to the liv-
ing will be more lasting than monu.
ments erected in granite or marblel
He was a man.

Encouraging Reports Con.
tinue to be Received
Concerning Epidem-
lc Situation
Work Much Lessened at Emer-
gency Headquarters and Few
er Calls Being Registered
With Drug Stores

Yesterdays report of improv.
ed conditions concerning the
sick in Morgan City and vicin.
ity still holds good for today. A
representative of The Review
called at the office of the Emer-
gency Bureau, and Mrs. Burl
Clements in charge of the work,
reported the number of calls for
help have been greatly reduced
since Saturday. Three new
cases had been reported to this
office at II o'clock this morning.
None of them were believed to
be serious and according to in
formation received at the bureau
all of the old cases were pro-
crossing very satisfactorily.
All of the drug stores report
a very material decrease in num-
ber of calls received for medi-
cine and physicians. DR.. Nc
Clellan was asked for his opin-
ion concerning the situation and
he said it was very encouraging.
DR.. Mcclellan said he believed
the peak of the epidemic was
passed several DAYS ago and
that people might look for very
rapid improvement of general
conditions from now on.
One of today's new cases in
cludes one who has fought the
spread of the disease unceasing-
ly in the capacity of a Red Cross
worker, Rev. NJ. C. McLain. It
seems especially unfortunate
