en- Somewhere in France" Nov
ember 10.
My Dear Parents:
We have moved again, and are
now in a new locality.
For the past few days we have
been seeing real interestings
things. | had appreciated more
or less what we had been seeing,
but to have left France without
seeing what | have seen for the
past week, would have been
equal to doing the work, while
someone else reaped the harvest.
wish could tell you just
where we are, and all the condi-
tions and circumstances which
attend US. but it is not permit
ed, so | will have more to tell
when | return home.
might tell you that | have
souvenires of Boch aerplanes.
That | have seen all kinds of air
battles. That | have learned
the tune of the -8-inch shrapnels
passing thru the air and over
head, but don't get excited about
it, as it is mere sport, and is a
necessary relish to army life.
We think no more of a Boch
plane flying over us than if they
were SO. many birds, nor of the
shells than if they were stones
tossed by US.
So far our regiment has lost
comparatively no men, except
from disease or accident.
| might tell you also, that |
slept two nights in the fam
Gus 'dug-outs. F" They are fine
place to sleep, and | had two
good nights rest.
We are now behind the lines
in a town, or the remains of it,
that has been shot to pieces in
previous years of the war. All
of the civilian population is gone
gone, and its a desolute place.
Hundreds of these towns are
scartted throughout the part of
France the Boch have invaded.
The most interesting thing |
have see so far, is one of the
famous battlefields, or a portion
of it. The ground is blown full
of shell holes, some of them sew
eral feet deep. The sharpnel and
small shells cover the ground.
The trees are all shot to pieces,
and the whole area has the ap-
pearance as thou a fierce storm
had sweep it. There are the old
trenches, in front OF which is
the barbed-wire entanglements;
the dugouts, and everything just
as they were before the battle
began, except where they are
torn up by shell fire. Taking it
all together it is very impress
i've scence, and one that a per-
son will never forget.
We are having a good time,
and plenty to eat and wear.
am getting as fat as Leonard
Fox.
| heard from you about q week
ago, and am expecting to hear
again today.
wish | could see you all, and
have a good long conversation,
but the longer we are kept apart
the gladder will be the meeting.
and the more | will have to tell.
With best wishes for your
health, happiness and content.

year. New York. Wisconsin,, Masss-
chusetts and Missouri were the pro-
gresslve states in labor legislation. and
two Southern states have raised their
education standards. Mississippi passed
for the first time an education bill, sub
ject TO local option and applying TO
children between seven and sixteen
years of age. Virginia has extended
her law to apply to the entire state.
Several negative gains are enumerated
as well. consisting in the defeat or
bills that were calculated to break

The bulletin also announces three
more state surveys now being made by
the national child labor committee in
Michigan, Ala bsma and North Caro-
lima following the one made in Okla

been TO study and report on all the
conditions surrounding child life, such
as child labor, Juvenile courts, moth

care of children in institutions. These
surveys are part Of the rapidly grow
ing movement for the drawing UP Of

GRAND JURY ADJOURNS
UNTIL NEXT FRIDAY
Former Detective Fred r. Krcngle Is
Before Investigators During Yes
tcrday's Hearing.
ASKED OF VICE CONDITIONS
Was Busy in Former Probe OF Situa-
ton In Underworld In This City.
Witnesses still Called In Large
Numbers.

The grand jury last night at 7
O'Clock adjourned to Friday morning
at 10 o'clock. Foreman Clarke ex-
planned that several members of the
jury had business matters to attend
TO. and desired the two days interim
for that purpose.
Other witnesses embraced Abe
Jacobs. who was mentioned in the or
iginal affidavit filed by former Police
man Frank Waller, and two colored
women.
Mr.. Clarke stated that he had no
report 10 make at the time. He hand
ed the commemorative attorney a list
of witnesses to be summoned for Il
hearing on Friday morning. 1t Is be-
lteved that the hearings will close on
that day, and that in the meantime
the tury's report to Judge Richard
son will be prepared and ready for
presentation on Friday.
Former Detective Fred r. Krengel
was before the jury yesterday for a
short time. His appearance proved a
surprise to the hangers-on around the
courtroom. but II had been announced
the day before that krengel would be
sent for Conjecture is that his testi-
mony was along the line of alleged
gam bling, and that he may have been
asked questions as to the vice condi-
tons, from the standpoint OF an ex-
pert in the working on this line when
he was connected with the secret ier-
vice department Of the city govern
ment.
Krengel was moving figure in the
investigation as to conditions in police
circles several years ago, and the city
council named a special committee on
investigation. and when the police
board was abolished Later Krengei

The hearings yesterday developed
no sensations. Izzy Gershan, who has
been before the body on several o.
casions, and who has spent most of
his time since the jury assembled II
and around the City Hall, was recall
ed. 1t was not believed he had any
thing left to say, but the grand jury
evidently wished to connect detail.
Other witnesses were G. r. Jones'
Andrew keck, and Willie katz, all
believed to have knowledge OF the
mysterious orgies attending upon
nocturnal visits of policemen to the
Price farm.
1t was stated that practically all
the evidence is in. and that little time
will be consumed In hearing the fag-
end witnesses Friday
Persons who have been in close
touch with the movements of the
grand jury. and who have some
knowledge of many OF the witnesses
who have appeared before that body.
are inclined to believe that the jury
will hand in a number of indictments
against policemen who have been de-
scrfbed by witnesses as having stood
In" with bootleggers.
1t is believed that several policemen
who II has been stated took liquor to
the Price farm, and "whacked Ip"
with Price, who is known as the
prince of bootleggers" and several
who Overlooked" stocks OF liquor on
hand in places they were supposed to
raid. will be indicted and that
voluminous recommendations as to
i'm provements in the conduct of the
police department will be made. The
report, 1t Is believed. will point out
the fact that Bookkeeping is going on
in many sections OF the city: that
gam bling is rampant, and that the
vice condition is beyond belief. The
jury will probably make recommended
lions as to better methods for the
of these questions.
The various workers in the pro-
posed awakening to duty, are now
sitting still in the trenches. ready 10
proceed to their posts. and to take up
the cudSel the moment the grand
jury speaks. This tribunal has had
the machinery OF the department OF
safety and that OF justice In its pos
session for nearly three weeks, an
the eyes of the city are fastened up
on them.
No move has been made by the
mayor. nor has he called his special
committee to meet. This will be done.
It was said last night the moment
the grand jury report has been made
public.
