JEROME ROZEN GLAD
 TO BE "OVER THERE"
August 16, 1918.

August l6, 1918. Dear Ones:
 This is my second letter at sea, but l don't suppose they will be mailed for some time. l have been at sea for many days and will be for many more. Since the last letter we have had a variety of weather. It changes very quickly here. Yesterday and the night before it stormed and the waves washed the deck. don't get sick any more and the rolling of the ship and the breaking waves fill me with wild joy. The west taught me to like the wild more than l ever thought. It is wonderful the different changes of color the sea will take. Sometimes black and then blue and now it is a marble green with clear sky. Every thing stands out against the sky. The boys are singing and everything is wonderful. Our ship is only one of many and is the flagship for the rest. l cant write its name yet. Another sergeant and I bought three crates of apples and candies and cake and sold them to the boys at cost. At that we didn't get half enough, and buy more today. The boat is signaling to the others and it's great to watch the sig nals.
 l haven't heard any war news for days, but sooner or later the Germans will get theirs. Stories one hear of them makes the blood boil.
 A sailor said that one of the guard boats in the rear ran into a couple of subs. This is likely, because we are in the danger zone, but know the outcome of any sub that attacks us.
 It seems like ages since 1 got mail from home, but very likely 1 will get some shortly after I land there. This will be mailed when I land, so when you get this letter you will know I landed OK.
 Cheer up, dear, ones. When l land I'll write you all about England, etc. I feel fine and hope everything is going we'll there. What do you hear from Gorge? 1 read a book, "The Pioneer" which was pretty good.
 JEROME.
 Send mail as before until you get new address.

Dearest Ones:

Dearest Ones:
 Just a note this time. l didn't re- ceive any mail since I left Mills, but could not have yet, and may not for some days. We had a fine trip over the Atlantic and everything was fine. We landed somewhere" in England and then took train to a camp--the name l can't mention. England is a fine country, although backward. They have beautiful trees, and although cultivated, haven't an artificial ap- pearance. We marched from there al most all night and early in the morn ing got few hours rest. It was fine though, and I sure feel good. Later we left England and sailed for "some- where" in France. It, also, was a great trip, which l will remember forever. Everything clean and fresh. There were many English troops with us. and we had great time comparing equipment. As usual, Americans have the best. The people in both England and France sure are nice, and therc is no "put-on" about them. They linet the streets as we passed and cheered us along. It was great. In France we were given a hand-out when we stopped awhile. Such queer, yet nic.- countries. I believe 1 like the Frencl people best, though. l feel so good Mumy Darling, and hope all is wei there. I can't give you any exact ad. dress yet, but the old one will reach me, I believe. Mail may be littlc slow at first, but things will regulate themselves. Feel good and believe ev- erything will be OK. Don't forger that if there is anything that you should know I will write it to you, so don't listen to anybody's talk Things are not as you might think, but can't write them in detail yet, so try to feel good, and trust me. France certainly has some quaint villages. They have trees and cobble streets. Wooden shoes are used great deal and women do much of the mems work in all lines. Everyone has such free and open manner that it does one good. Little children hang on as we pass, begging pennies, etc. Had package of hard

ALBERT PITTS DIES
 A HERDS DEATH

James A. Pitts of Seligman received the, following telegram from the adju- tant general of the army, on Septem- Der 26th:
 Deeply regret to inform you that Private Albert Pitts, infantry, is off cially reported as killed in action Au- gust 29th.
 HARRIS,
 Acting Adjutant General"
 The readers of The Sun will remem- Der the very interesting letters writ ten to his father, James A. Pitts, which were published couple weeks ago, and were full of good cheer and much information overlooked by the average writer.
 Albert belonged to the 32nd Divi- sion, which was made up of Wisconsin and Michigan volunteer troops and was one of the divisions, as near as can be ascertained from reports, which whipped the Huns so completely at Jugnvey. While definite information is lacking, the date of his death would indicate that he was killed in this great battle. French officers who viewed the battlefield after the fight claim it was the bloodiest battle of the wal, where more men were killed than at the first battle of the Marne or any single battle at Verdun.
 Albert Pitts name will be honored among those of Arizona's heroes for many years to come as one among the first to offer his services to his coun- try and one of the first to give his all that liberty and freedom might pre- vail on earth forever.

In connec- tino with the idea of wrapping one self around the national bird on my natal day, allow me to suggest that in honor of my memory the family put in few spare moments eating cornflakes and cream. All I thought of during the hours of direst hunger was cornflakes and cream.
 Affectionately,
 ALBERT. Write often and tell all the news, even at the risk of telling it the sec ond time. You might even send me copies of the Gazette. If you wish, you may send these sketches to Harvey and Charlie. If you wish them returned, they would probably be obliging in this regard.

 We were the only British troops to land at Ostend, and, being the first the Belgians in that part had ever seen, we attracted a great deal of attention. Our horses and equipment seemed to amaze them. They would come up and handle the saddlery and ask, "ofn- cler?" When we would tell them that 1t was just q troopers equipment and that all the others were the same they could not seem to get over 1t.
 Although 1t was after 1 o'clock in the morning, everybody seemed to be up and at work. The Belgian peasant has no interest in the eight hour law. He works from before daylight until long after dark. The peasants seem to be very poor, and a frar, means more to them than several dollars would to our farmers.
 We left Ostend about o'clock in a hurry. No one seemed to know where we were going, and all sorts Of wild rumors were flying. As a matter Of fact, we left ct Q and the Germans

Warfare In the Air.

A high powered airplane engine of the best type-say 12O to 150 horse power-canuot be purchased for much less than $3,O00. And the whole air plane, big one, may readily cost $10,- 900 to $20,000.
 A fast modern airplane has an aver- age life of only about two or three hun dred hours of active seryice-say two months at the outside This means that to keep 10000 airplanes on bat tie line you have to be able to build 5000 per month or more. The cost would be almost unthinkable. That Is why warfare in the air for any length of time would bankrupt the world. And that in turn is why warfare in the air means the end of all warfare.-Collier's.

were In there at the same night; but we didn't know this until long after ward. The Belgians were most kind to us. They would bring us bread, eggs, wine, etc, and would not take any pay for the things. They were kindness itself and couldn't seem to do enough for us.
 We did most of our travelling at night, and 1t wasn't much fun. We were not allowed to show a light Of any kind and were even forbidden to smoke. As 1 said before, we hadn't any idea where We were going, but We were all sure We were on our way to meet the Germans, and there was great deal of speculation as to when the meeting would come.
 On the morning of the third day we came to the town of Roulers. A halt was called, and we went about mak- ing ourselves comfortable. The peo- pie were extremely cordial, too, and there was nothing that was too much trouble for them to do for us. l got into 6 house where the man spoke English. He had been in the shipping business in Antwerp and knew a great many of the firms my father had dealt with. I really felt quite at home.
 They asked me if thought they had better move or whether the Germans would ever get as far as ROulers. I'll never forget how I scorned the idea and assured them that they were as safe there as they would be in Eng land.

PROVEN SWAMP-ROOT
AIDS. WEAK KIDNEYS

The symptoms of kidney and bladder
troubles are often very distressing and
leave the system in a rundown condition.
The kidneys seem to suffer most, as al
most every victim complains of lame back
and urinary troubles which should not be
neglected, as these danger signals often
lead to more dangerous kidney troubles.
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root which, 80
many people say, soon heals and strength
ems the kidneys, is a splendid kidney,
liver and bladder medicine, and, being
an herbal compound, has a gentle heal
ing effect on the kidneys, which is al
most Immediately noticed in most cases
by those who use it.
A trial will convince anyone who may
be in need of it. Better get bottle from
your nearest drug store, and start treat
ment at once.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.

the end.
Foe to be Equal But Not Master.
For such arrangements and cove
nants we are willing to fight and to
continue to fight until they are
achieved; but only because we wish
the right to prevail and desire a just
and stable peace such as can be Sc
cured only by removing the chief
provocations to war, which this pro-
gram does remove. We have no jeal-
ousy of German greatness and there
/ is nothing in this program that I'M
pairs it. We grudge her no achieve
ment or distinction of learning or of
| pacific enterprise such as have made
her record very bright and very envi-
able We do not wish to inJure her
or to block in any way her legitimate
| influence or power We do not wish

| the world in covenants of justice and
law and fair dealing. We wish her
only to accept a place of equality
among the peoples of the world-the
new world in which we now live-in-
stead of a place of mastery.
Must Know Who Is Represented.
Neither do we presume to suggest
to her any alterations or modification
of her institutions. But it is neces-
sary, we must frankly say and nee
essary as a preliminary to any intel
ligent dealings with her on our
part, that we SHOULD know wlom her
spokesman SPEAK for when they
speak to us, whether for the reichs-
tag majority or for the military
party, and the men whose creed is
imperial domination.
Aims Clear; Ready for Test.
We have spoken now, surely, in
terms too concrete to admit of any
further doubt or question. An eyi-
| dent principle runs through the
| whole program L nave outlined. II
is the principle of justice to all
peoples and nationalities, and their
right to live on equal terms of liberty
and safety with one another, whether
they be strong or weak Unless this
principle be made its foundation no
part of the structure of international
justice can stand. The people of tie
United States could act upon no
other principle, and to the vindica-
ton of this principle they are ready
| to devote their lives, their honor
and everything that they possess.
The moral climax of this, the cul-
minating and final war for human
liberty has come, and they are ready
to put their strength, their own
highest purpose, their own integrity
and devotion to the test.

Splendid Work by Woman.

Valuable work was done by DR.. Elsie
Inglis, who died recently. She was the
organizer and head of the Scottish
Women's Hospital units, stated en-
tfreIy with women, and offered early
In the war to the British government
for service with the forces. Refused
at home, they were accepted by the
French war Office, and in the first year
they did valuable work in France.
When typhus broke out in Serbia, Doc
tor Inglish took unit to that country,
went through the hardships of the re-
treat and was taken prisoner by the
Austrians. Released in 1915, she set
out for Roumania, where again she
shared in a retreat. From the Dobrud-
ia she eventually took her unit to
southern Russia, but the rigOrs of this
campaign had told on her and she fell
q victim to overwork and disease. She
brought her unit safely away with her,
but died when port was reached. Doc
tor Inglis was born in India and edu-
Gated in Edinburgh and Paris.

AFICHT FOR LIFE

It has been fight or die for many of us
I'm the past and the lucky people are
those who have suffered, but who are now
well because they needed natures warn
ing signal in time to correct their trou-
BILE with that wonderful new discovery
of Dr.. Pierce's called "An-u-ric." You
should promptly heed these warnings,
some of which are dizzy spells, backache,
irregularity Of the urine or the painful
twinges of rheumatism, sciatica or lum-
bago. To delay may make possible the
dangerous forms of kidney disease, such
as stone in the bladder.
To overcome these distressing condi-
tons take plenty of exercise in the open
air, avoid heavy meat diet, drink freely
of water and at each meal take DIR.
Pierce's Anuric Tablets double strength.
You will, in a short time find that you
are one of the firm indorsers OF Anuric,
as are thousands Of neighbors.
Step into the drug store and ask for
a Coo bottle of Anuric, or send DR.. ". M.

PLANS GUERILLA DEFENSE
Russia May Resume Military Opera
tons of That Kind.

Petrograd, Jan. AT Russian army
headquarters in the field, war codn-
Gil is being held. Steps are being dis
cussed that may lead to a resumption
by Russia, not of military operations
on a vast scale, such as offensives of
the Brusiloff type, but of active, ener-
getic guerilla defense of the Russian
lines.
In this defense Russia does not ask
Allied aid. She rejects it, even.
She proposes to throw chaos into
the teeth of any military move the
Germans may make. She will give the
Teuton commanders the thing they
fear more than organized armies-a
crippled land of endless vastness, that
has no food-no transportation, and
whose productiveness is paralyzed, a
land, peopled by human guerillas, "ev-
cry one of them armed with a rifle"
as Trotzky puts it.
