ON AMERICAN SOIL.
October, 1918.

bCdi ulOtiiCI -
Here ! am back in the u.
S. A., and it seems good to see
American soil once more. l am
unable to write much in details
as to where I will be located for
the time being, but as soon as l
receive my orders and get per-
manently settled, can then write
more fully.
This return trip has been a
very pleasant ocean voyage. and
many privileges have been ex.
tended to US by the Navy men.
In view of the fact that We have
had plenty of time have made
use of this by reading some good
books and playing various games.
I naturally have been thinking
of the folks at home and trust
that you are all well and happy
and will write as soon as you re.
ceive my address.
Be sure and remember me to
all my cid friends and tell them
that am anxious to hear from
them.

these com modities which reached
this country a few days ago, was
announced by Butler Bros, a

with branches in Chicago, St.
LOUIS, Minneapolis and Dallas.
Declaring that "long ago we
eliminated these goods from our
catalog, accepted our loss and
forgot all about them,' Walter
Scott. vice president, said his
concern has Set itself against
German propaganda designed
to re introduce into America
German made articles.
The shipment was part of a lot
of goods purchased by the firm
early in 1914. he said, some of
which was received, while the
balance was detained at Rotter-
dam by war conditions. 1t was
forwarded, Mr.. Scott added, with
out instructions and has been
abandoned by notice to customs
