LOUISA BOY WRITES
FROM GERMANY

4 z
ceived the following letter:
| Company "I<', 4th Infantry
| A. l.. F.. Army OF Occuption.
| February IL, 1919.
| Dear Mother:
Seven months ago today boarded a
steamer for Europe and am wonder
ing If within seven months from today
| can board one for the good old U.
S. A. But my chances are very slim
| as | am a member of the Army of
Occupation which | will tell you more
about later The greater part of the
seven months | have been in Europe
has been spent in active fighting with
the Hun, and / have the honor of be-
| ing a member of the regiment that
helped turn the tide, of the war by
stopping the Huns in their bold at
tempt to cross the Marne river near
Chateau Thierry July 15, 1918.
The Army of Occupation is compos-
ed of seven Regular Army Divisions
which will remain on German soil as
long as needed. but Army officials say
that If peace is signed in June the last
American will be home by Christmas.
Sure had a grand time on our march
to the Rhein. Was one month on the
road hiking at the rate of ten kilo-
meters day.
There has been some loose talk here
lately the Americans marching on
to Ben and imaginative minds have
pictured an American army marching
through Germany and thence through
Russia, and finally landing not at Ho-
boken, but at San Francisco. Ger
tainly we feel no enthusiasm for the
project striking though it may seem,
for we prefer the quicker route across
the Atlantic. To get out of Germany
and once more home is all we desire
The part of Germany we are now in
is sure more attractive than the shell
shattered regions of France we once
knew, but life is very dull here and
there is nothing to show for our pa
thence. Meanwhile we are making
ourselves at home as much as possible
but there is no evidence that we are
in love with the Germans.
Received the Big Sandy NewsStoday
Although 1t was several weeks old II
was precious news to me. Give my
regards TO all. Trusting you are en-
joying the best of health / remain,
Lovingly your son,
CPL. SHAFTER JUSTICE.

President Wilson's
Speech in New York

New York President Wilson told
the American people in an address
here on the eve OF his return to Paris
that he was going back to the peace
conference to battle with renewed Wig
or for the creation of a League of
Nations.
THE first thing / am going to tell
them Is that an overwhelming majority
OF the American people Is in favor OF
the League OF Nations" said the Pres
dent
Spea .IIs after former President Taft
had pounded the main features OF
the prop aed covenant OF nations, Mr.
Wilson told the vast audience, which
filled the Metropolitan Opera House
his opinions of opponents of the league
plan in America.
No party has the right TO appro-
pirate this issue. and no party will in
the long run dare oppose it," he as
serted
Asserting that the League of Nations
is meant as notice to all outlaw
nations that the great peoples Of the
world no longer viii tolerate interna-
tional crimes, the President said that
Europe is a bit sick at heart at this
very moment, because II sees that
statesmen have had no vision. and that
the only vision has been the vision of
the people"
And am amazed--not alarmed, but
amazed, that there should be in some
quarters such comprehensive iguor-
ance OF the state of the world" con-
tinued Mr.. Wilson. Those gentlemen
do not know what the mind of men
is Just now. Everybody else does.
Il do not know where they have been
cioseted, / do not know by what in
fluences they have been blinded but /
do know that they have been separated
from the general currents OF the
thought of mankind.
And / want to utter this solemn
warning, not in the way of a threat;
the forces of the world do not threat
en-. they operate. The great tides of
the world do not give notice that they
are going TO rise and run; they rise
i'm their majesty and overwhelming
might and those who stand in the way
are overwhelmed. Now the heart of
the world is awake and the heart of
the world must be satisfied"

MEXICAN MURDERS
Ambassador Fletcher Says so Ameri-
cans Have Been Killed and Their
Slayers Are Unpunished.

WASHINGTON, July 22-Henry
Fletcher, American ambassador to Mex
leo told the house rules committee today
that since his appointment three years
ago, about 80 Americans have been killed
in Mexico without single transgressor
being punished by the Mexican authori-
ties.
Replying to questions by Chairman
Campbell, Mr. Fletcher said withdrawal
of recognition of the Carranza govern
ment by the United States would only
increase the turmoil in the southern re-
public He added that he did not know
of any revolutionary leader capable OF
establishing a permanent government.
The ambassador said he had not no
ticed any special anti American feeling
in Mexico and explained that the pres
cnce of more American citizens there
than other foreigners probably account
ed for the greater number of outrage.
