where the lumber is cut for the aero plane wings. My duty is to keep a record of all the men, their present and previous occupations. Say for instance they come to me and say, Il want a truck driver and electrician" or whatever they want. look on my directory and tell them where they can find ond and how long he has worked at it, according to his version. Work only eight hours per day. Tomorrow is holiday, so l do not go to work till eight Monday morning.
 We have stove in our tent, also electric lights. Real stylish to be in the army, don't you think? It's bet ter than to be in the woods, whole lot. There are several trainloads of spruce here on the tracks waiting to go through the mill, but we do not work on holidays. signed the pay roll last Saturday week ago. Guess ti I'll be getting my army pay in about a week and the mill pay in another week. am sure I'll be glad when it does come.
 It was sure hot here yesterday though it was real cool this morning. Guess it must have been hot there yesterday.
 It is not like being in the army here at all. It is not compulsory to drill and we never stand retreat. We have supper at 5:30 and after that one can sign the book and go where he wants to if he's back by eleven. Woe to him though that is not back by then. When a man is here thirty days he is given special pass with which he may stay out till 6 a. m. Guess I'll get one of them in about three weeks though do not suppose I'll ever need it. I've not been over in Portland since we came through on our way over. It has population of about 300,000. Vancouver IS about 5000 I guess.
 I do not know where any of the bows are now that came with me. They are all scattered. There is a boy in the 18th Squad that came from Jonesboro last November. He was sent from there to Kelly Field in Texas and then on out here. There sure is a bunch of boys here from Michigan. In my report yesterday l had 3420 men. That is pretty good number for one man. l must make a report of all new assign ments, all sick men, all office men. All absent without leave, all in the guard house from each of IA squad rons. Quite task, I'll say, too.
 Guess I'll be issued some olive drab clothes next week, also raincoat. I've been issued an overcoat already. Got my uniform on Monday after l got here. I do not intend to buy any clothes if I can keep from it,
 It's ten o'clock here now and | suppose you are about ready to eat dinner. On Sunday we do not have to get up if we do not want to. got up about 7:30 this a. m.
 I do not know how the papers look there but the way they look here the war will be over before long.
 I guess I've written enough today, so I'll stop. Guess maybe I'll hear from you soon. Hope so anyway.
 With Love, Your Brother,
 Earl.

 I arrived here safely. I had a good time on the transport, what time l was not seasick. We had some rough weather and the waves looked hAy mountains.
 The country is pretty what part l have seen, but people have queer ways The girls and little boys are always selling chestnuts, candy, etc. l know little French language but not enough to amount to anything. Am trying to learn all can.
 We never see any men of our own age nobody except real old men, women, girls and small children. The farm houses and barns are combined here and all the wagons are two wheeled and in most cases women and gills are driving them. l don't know how long we will stay here or where we will go from here.
 Jaw some German prisoners in the town where we disembarked. We are all anxious to go further toward the front, for there is nothing i'm portant here. We saw lots of fish, including flying fish, but did not see 2 single submarine. I don't know much news to write. We have news papers every day but nothing like the Gazette. am we'll and enjoying my self. Be sure to write soon for I want to hear from you. Lots of love to you all.

Editor Missoulian:
Often has the empty assertion been
made by some deluded individual who
likes to term himself an apologist that
this, our war, is war that bodies III
Tor the common people. They will
say that this terrible conflagration Is
one that Is commercially engendered
and inherent in our commercial life.
that 1t Is war brought about by the
accumulation of profits which, in
search for c-investmemnt, comes into
conflict with the world market and
finally, to escape humiliation, flour
ishes the sword.
Mr.. Editor. simply wish to OBJ
serve to my Socialist friends that this
struggle. as fought by America, is one
with which we may well align our
selves and fight to the last drop of
blood. IL necessary until that scion of
tyranny in Germany has been tram.

arbitrary aristocracy existing, has
developed an industrial state of eff

mated as typicalIy of Socialstic ideals.
unparalleled, an albatross hangs po-
litically on the neck of her people
Their individual liberties and rights
are as nothing. And when we have
liberated the world and humanity from
that cruel plague of kaiserism and
miiltarism. then we will live bv the
side of state that exceeds the fond
est dreams of an Utopian. Social.
ism in all it's phases will be a real
ity in Germany.

This rib bound oligarchy has u,ti,

systen1atized production and distribu-

This Is the Gravest
Of Our Nations Needs
BY EDITH NJ. THOMAS
Of the Viuilautes,

l take 1t, that the 'gravest OF our
country's needs is not so much pre-
paredness" In the military sense
Though here the need is sufficiently
great as the preparedness of soul -
of outlook, of apprehension of world
issues, all which 1t is SO difficult to set
before the average American. Woe
unto them that are at peace in Zion,''
is an old charge which we might well
take to heart. Our Zion has too long
been at peace, at comfortable, remote
indifference to the immense issues, and
the causes tina: are behind those issues,
racing Il world-an Old World to be
sure. but so closely connected with our
own New World as to render every let
ter of any mere Monroe Doctrine"
forever null and void.
What is the matter with America
that this psychic preparedness" should
be so lacking at time when the souls

Are you still agonizing over the war In

What is the matter with America ~
II may be permitted to answer as well
as to raise the question, would say
the lack of moral "preparedness"-to
recognize, and to "agonize'' in the
present struggle, is due to lack Of i'm
agination. otherwise, of the power to
project situation other than the one
where one finds oneself. Spite Of the
