Cd q lot.
he had the hump about Germany.
lie said that they seemed to have = lot
q victories. bat none that led 10 any
thing. and he said the news from his
home was very bad. His fathers
business had al gone. and food was
awful scarce with the folks at home.
Lots Of his relations were sick and
couldn't get better. and i seemed 10
be pretty general in German all over.
He said that the Gerries in the firing
lire were fed up with the letters they
got from home, always grOusing
about no food and about being sick.
Too Many Victories"
"He couldn't understand how is was
il they were winning such a la Of
victories that there was no peace. l
told him they'd had no victories worth
talking about and asked him about
Vimy and Messines. He said it was
just because we had such a lot Of
guns that no troops on earth could
stand the fire. Then l spoke about
Cambria with TO artillery fire, and
he seemed to think that they'd won all
the ground back. l told him what a
little bit it wss they'd taken back,
and that 1t e.dat make much differ
enre, as we we're still holding Mr..
Blooming Hindenberg's line-only I
spoke rccpectf3'-like about linden
ourg, l didn't like to hurt a chap that
was down and a prisoner. 1t wouldn't
be good manners-we leave that sort
Of things to the Gerries.
"He praised up Hindenberg, but still
| could see that he was not too sure
everythiI g was all right; he seemed
to thi,k that the Germans were be-
ing dlddled by their superiors. He
was a decent enough chap, that Ger
ry, and had the makings of a good
soldier. He said a queer thing, too,
something about me making our
wounds a bond of sympathy He
couldn't get over me being decent to
him, though he'd shot me in the side.
az cannot understand you, Eng
lishman,' he says, you are generous
too much
81 says to him, That's all right,
Corporal. If you hadn't shot me,
you'd have been dead. l was going

COMPILE STATISTICS
Figures Concerning Casualty POSI-
biIities Are Interesting

According to statistics compiled by
the local draft board from the percen-
tage of casualties in the trenches, the
sixty-eight men sent out from Au-
drain county in the first contingent of
the first quota would be in the
trenches for two years before there
would be a single death among them,
providing that the law Of chance
worked out as it has since the war be-
gan,
There have been two deaths among
the PIT men who have been sent out
by the draft board from here. There
have been six deaths and two per-
manent injuries among the 1881 other
men included in the first draft who
have not yet been sent to camp

MEXICO LITTLE GIRLS
HEAR FROM ENGLAND
By Reciprocal News Service

LONDON, April 10. - When little
Sheila Maxwell of Londan, chewed her
pencil and thoughtfully contrived an
ode to the American soldiers, she had
not a glimering idea that she was
doing anything more than giving ex-
preston to a deep feeling of joy that
Together we will go,
The Union Jack and Stars and
Stripes,
To fight, and beat the foe!"
Then Sheila bashfully showed the
four strident stanzas of "Sons of
America" to an American living at
her hotel. The American suggested
it should be sent at once to Ambas-
sador Page, whom it would be sure to
please. This was done, and soon
Sheila was t%reasuring a fine letter of
appreciation from the Ambassador.
She didn't know that the Reciprocal
News Service had sent the verse to
all its papers in the Middle West.
The verse has since been coined in
New York, London and Paris papers.
That was early in February. Early
in March Sheila began to get some
mail from the United States, two or
three letters a day. They were from
school girls of the United States, of
Sheila's age of 10 or thereabouts, all
saying that they were so moved by
her verse that they just felt they
must write as American girls and tell
their dear English cousin how much
they loved her for it. "How sweet"
said Sheila's mother, who is the wife
of 1t. Col. P. G. Davies, C. M. g.,
A. o. !.
But more mails boats came in from
America about the middle OF March.
And now Sheila is getting letters at
the rate of ten to twenty a day. The
letters passed the ITO mark last
week, and there were still many towns
and several states, in which the vers-
es have been published, that are sure
to contribute a few letters each.
Shelia's mother, though deeply touch
ed, had to ask her to put off her let
ter reading until Saturdays and Sun
days so that her school lessons would
not suffer.
One letter was from Mildred West,
Alb East Promenade street, Mexico,
Mo-, and another from Julia Minerva
Kelley, daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. T.
S. Riley, of this city.
