A Letter From France

Good thinga still come out of Germany the following letter is sufficient proof of that. It was written by Capt. John w. Morris, of Somerville, Tenn. assigned. to the British Army in June, 1917. and in medical charge of the Ninth Battalion, the Black Watch Regiment, until it was cut to pieces on March 28 of this year, when he and his entire staff were captured.
 The humor of his first letter, lately received ..from a German hospital where he is attending British wounded, is of the the subtle, fine-edged Yankee sort. It would be interesting to know how many Teutonic censor struggled to understand his re- marks, and on what ground they decided to pass them.
 We quote the Captains joyous epistle as it appeared in Memphis News Scimitar:
 have been transferred to the German service. 1 was expect ing to be transferred to the American Army and this came as a complete surprise.
 The change came 80 sudden ly that within an hour after dl essing our own wounded and the wounded British prisoners of war.
 Il, then. without being con- suited as to what climate agreed with me, took Cooks tour of the French and German border, staying in nunneries and brewer ies at night and finally was sent here to assist in looking after British wounded.
 Everything is decided for me. All matters of importance are looked after without my aid. in fact, 1 don't even have to worry about what 1 write. be- cause if it doesn't suitt, he censor makes lot of erasures.
 Already 1 have solved the problem of why suspenders are so popular here. l have con- tributed one-third of my belt to the salvage-dump and could spare more. only 1 notice that it is beginning to look juicy

A Letter From France.

Dear mother and father, Il will write you all to let you know 1 am still a live and getting along fine at the present time. 1 guess you will be surprised to get letter from me now l have been on the front and am now back in the camps and as l have got rid of the cooties and got away from those big shells be- lieve me old Fritz sure did send some big shells over. And be- lieve we are like moles it don t take us long to dig in, We are sure giving old kaiser H. now l have written enough about the war now. 1 cant write much as my letter might be censored. l guess you know enough about 1t any way. Have you heard any thing from my Liberty? Bonds l have them paid out. Let me hear from you as soon as you can. will close by sending my love to all of you. Give my. best regards to all the folks at home.
 Your son,
 Riley Edgin.

and nice, so 1 retain 1t.
 As to parcels that are sent me, allow me to suggest that they be securely packed and that not many days elapse before sending another. There IS an other officer here, but he eats his nails all the while, and con- sequently he is looking we'll.
 I will be contented here as soon as the mail begins to come, but just nowsI feel dramatically sealed up from the world. Understand me, if become dls- couraged will continue to stay. This is one job l can't lose.
 1 won't say how many British wounded are here because the letter might get destroyed and delay the parcel. but we work from 8:30 in the morning until ' i'll the evening and do only the urgent dressings. 1 didn't know there were so many broken legs in the world.
 Regarding the soap that you are going to send: Don't go to a drugstore for 1t. A grocery is where you will find the kind l want. By confining myself to behind the ears and back of the neck ablution l will probably be able to make this piece of soap do until l hear from you.
 l have discontinued the use of cigarets, not that they were doing me any harm at all. but 1 decided to quit until that par eel comes My cigaret case thinks it IS New Year, and my stomach has decided that l am either wounded in the neck or that 1t Is Lent.
 II am glad Im alive. 7"

The Fourth Liberty Loan.

The campaign for the Fourth Liberty Loan begins September 28 and closes October 19. While the amount has not yet been an- nounced, it is generally conced- ed it will be for a larger amount than any of the preceding loans. The American people, therefore. are called upon to raise a larger sum of money in a shorter length of time than ever before. There is need, therefore, for prompt action prompt and efficient work and prompt and liberal subscrip- tions.
 We have a great inspiration for great effort. The news from the battle front inspires every American heart, not only with pride and patriotism but with a great incentive to do his or her part. There is no shirk- ing. no shifting of the individu- al burden, no selfshness by American soldiers in France; there should be none here. We are both supporting the same cause-our Army in one way, ourselves in another. Theirs is the harder part, but at least we can do our part as they do theirs.

LIBERTY LOAN INTEREST RATE

Secretary McAdoo has definitely an
nounced that the Fourth Liberty Loan
bonds will bear Az per cent interest.
The secretary has been insstent that
the Government interest rate should
t.a stabilized at Az per cent. He
points out that a raise in the rate
of interest of only one-fourth of per
cent on s10,OOO,0OOpO0 of govern
ment bonds would mean an annual
increase of s25,OOO,O0O in interest
charges, and that this money would
have to be raised by increased taxa
ton and paid by the people of the
country. 1t would not be paid by
one class only, because there are con-
sumption as well as other kinds of
taxes, and the consumption taxes
reach every class of people.
GAS an intelligent people," said Sec
rotary McAdoo during the Third Lib
.arty Loan campaign, 1--WE should now
make stand for the financing of our
Government during the period of this
war at a stabilized rate of interest
say at AZ per cent per annum, SO that
all business and all investments may
be adjusted to that basis, and so that
we ourselves may protect ourselves
against successfully increased rates
of interest on Government loans.
Neither our patriotism nor our sup.
port of the Liberty Loans are meas
ured in fractions of per cent.
