My Dear Madam: Your note Of in
quiry concerning julius F. Muller was
handed to me for reply.
Private Muller was killed Instantly
by an enemy she'll which killed and
wounded some of his comrades at the
same time.
He was carrying food to the COM
rades in the front trenches when the
enemy opened shell fire upon them and
the result was very disastrous to the
little band Of food carriers. Julius was
one of those who was instantly killed,
and therefore was spared the agony
of long suffering from any wounds.
His comrades extend their heartfelt
sympathy for you in your loneliness
and wish you to know that he was
well loved by all. If there is any way
in which can serve you, I will DO
only too glad to do so. These exper-
fences bind us all together in a COM
mon family because we are all sharing
in these sacrifices, which are greatest
to those whose loved ones are taken.
Fraternally yours,

A large number of the Spanish In.
fluenza have been reported in town in
the past month, although the cases
here are very light. The physicians
are doing all in their power to check
it before it becomes seious epidemic.
Several neighboring cities have re-
ported deaths from the epidemic and
the men who were o have been called
early in October, have received notice
not to report. Many schools have
been closed and others are under quar-
antine. The disease seems to be sweep
ing the whole country but it has
proven much more fatal in the east.
And the next day it rained, but that
didn't bother the Liberty Bond buying
any as all three wards were more than
busy putting Mo Valley over the top.
Everyone seems anxious to appear
today to find out their quota and al
seem surprised how small an amount
it takes from each one to make up the
grand total All three Of the headquar
tres were working four or five men
and nearly as many stenographers
but even then they were swamped
most of the time. The drive promises,
to be the most successful and easiest
handled one pulled off SO far. Every
thing is perfectly organized and is
working like clock work. After this
when the government wants funds,
they will simply send out the word
and the money will be there in less
than twenty four hours.
