MINERAL POINT IN RUSSIA.

Another letter from Roy j. (Peck)
McMurrough has reached Mineral Point
from way off northern Russia where he
is not only enduring trials and hard
ships, but where his life is endangered,
as his letter proves. This method of
our foly-mad government managers of
sending Wisconsin boys, or any other
American boys for that matter, into
an ice bound, God forsaken country
with which we are not nor have been
at war, is worse than folly--lts heart
less, display of Indifference to the life
of Americas splendid young men. The
nearer it reaches home the easier it is
to realize the reasonableness of our con-
tention. This community we feel sure
will agree with The Tribune in its claim
that Peck's life is worth more than all
the miserable, almost inhabitable coun-
try over which he has been obliged to
tramp and in which he had to sojourn
in comfortless barracks and tents, and
even more than the lives of the whole
tribe of natives with which he has come
in contact. Take moment and com
pare Peck's experience and trials with
those of the various government Of
ficials hobnobbing with British and
French nobility during the same time.
And remember, no matter who they
are or where they are, they are on a
par as American citizens when in good
standing, especially when serving the
country in distant lands. By the way
how many presents will be showered
upon Peck and his comrades? And,
which would you prefer, tramping in
three feet of snow or on a velvet carpet
with four inch deep nap?
The letter mentioned was received on
Tuesday of this week and here follows:
Archangel, Russia, Apr. 4, 1919.
Dear Friend, Mrs. White
Received your very welcome letter on
the LIST of the month. 1t was the first
mail we have received since about the
middle of January. Maybe you think
we weren't watching for it.
| Was very sorry to learn of SO many
deaths around home and that you hac
been so sick. guess they were few
and far between who didn't have this
hu in the States, judging from reports
Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1919-06-05

we have had. There were forty-seven
Americans buried in four days at Arch
angel when we first came here. so can
imagine what it was like in the States.
Starting the lst of March we had
an eight day hike from the railroad and
a couple of days after coming up here to
the front. Have been under consider
able shell fire nearly every day and had
one piece of sharpnel pass within six
inches of my face and hit the side of
the building. Guess got off lucky.
Have had some experience working
on the front line at night stringing barb
wire and building Notifications, so you
see we are still busy.
Saw some clippings from Wisconsin
and Michigan papers and they seem to
want US out of here as soon as possible.
1t sure will be one welcome day when
we board the ship, but guess that day
wont come for some months yet, as
there is still about three feet of snow
everywhere hereabouts and it has
only melted the least bit in three days,
but | hope the most of it will be gone
by the last of the month.
Am sure glad that the Fessendens
and most Of the other home boys didn t
get to experience much action, as
don't know of anybody who cares very
much for it.
Well, must close hoping to be back
by fair time, if | have the good luck to
keep running till then.

Although the Victory bonds are not

are doubtless above par in value. Tax
free 81 per cent bonds of former loan
were sold recently at s99 60. The Vic
tory tax free bonds call for interest at
81 per cent and should therefore be
worth about l04. Hang on to your Lib
