Clyde Barton Says
His Regiment First
To Cross The
Mouse River

Mr.. and Mrs. Barton have received
the following interesting letter from
their son, Clyde, telling of his exper-
fences in the war zone:
Somewhere in France,
Nov. 81, 1918.
My Dear Mother and Father:
Have scraped up a few more pieces
of paper and will send you a few more
words. Guess you have gotten my
other two letters by now. Think I
have gotten all yours. Got "a the first
time since out of the trenches and
about half of them from you, and
have gotten two others since, but
not a single newspaper; am going to
write to Lester tonight. They have
gotten paper at the Y. M. G. A. now.
Am in a much different place to-
night than ten days ago. Just had a
fill. Of hot chocolate and cookies free
and there is a piano playing, too. Can
you imagine how much better feel in
place like that than huddled up in
a cold, muddy, wet shell hole, eating
the last Of your canned beef and hard
tack and listening to the bursting
shrapnels, expecting the next one to
blow you into eternity? I think you
can, SO 1t will give you some idea Of
how I feel and on top of that I am
in the best Of health. My eyes are
almost hidden in my face from fat.
You wouldn't know me. I must weigh
close to 200 pounds. My feet are all
that worry me. The doctor says they
will be o. X. soon. They were FROST
bitten badly. have no more cold
than usual. Mamma, you can never
imagine how good victory-real VIC
tory-has made us feel. When we
marched back from the front there
was a band on the road and 1t played
an old, familiar piece for us and that
night we built fires, the first time
since on the front. IT'S so nice now
to sit by the fires at night and in the
day time rest and not have to be all
the time lodging bursting shrapnel
and hiding from airplanes. The main
thing that ! feel SO good over is the
part my outfit played in bringing

The many friends of Mr.. j. R.
George were deeply shocked to learn
OF his death, which occurred this af-
ternoon at 1880 o'clock at the City
Hospital after a ten days illness Of
influenza, which developed into pneu-
Iionia. He was taken yesterday to
the hospital where he might receive
better attention. but the disease had
become too firmly rooted, and he
passed away today. The funeral ar
rangements have not been made, but
the body will probably be taken to

ground for a story of life as we see it
lived daily.
Some idea of the staggering mag
nitude of this achievement is gained by
the statements that more than 125, 900
men and women are used in one scene
that shows all the colors, life and
abandonment of a bacchanalian feast.
$500 horses take part in the thrilling
chariot races along the banks of the
Euphrates. 1t cost more than $3.50, 900

and the spacious bculevardS built upon
their tops; the wonderful halls in the
length, with giant elephants of alas

dor and luxury of these ancient days

spectacle.

1t is just such productions as Grif-

make this division necessary.
No more vivid and romantic picture
of life exists than that reflected in
the pre-Christian era, when Babylon's
walls were the boundary of a life of
passionate and mystic splendor.
