Dearest Mother:
Will write a note tonight,
while l am in charge Of study period
and haven't much to do. l general
" go to bed about eight o'clock
when 1 am not on duty in the even
ing, but my turn comes once in
while and I have to stay up until a.
bout 1920: I started to work sew
eral days ago, and am feeling all
right now. Still have little cough
but am taking good care of myself,
and think 1 will be rid of it entirely
before long. The weather condl-
tons have been very bad here for
anyone with d cold. We have been
having lots of rain and it has been
terribly muddy, but I guess one can
not expect anything else at this
time of year and for several months.
We have had no snow as yet. / can
lot get used to not seeing it at this
lime of year, for we always have
snow at home before this.
1 am awfully discouraged about
nv mail. Have not received a letter
rom home, with the exception OF
,harles'. for over a month. I can
Tot understand the delay, for they
| lave been sending my mail from the
Company regularly, and am sure
hey still have my correct address. l
uess l shall get it all in bunch as
did before. I certainly hope that
comes soon, for l am getting very
nxious for word from home and
me other people I know.
I see in some of the papers where
me Of the divisions have gone
eek to the States, but as yet have
.,cn nothing as to when the SOth
II leave. Should think that they
i'll go before so long, as they are
OF in the Army of Occupation.
ish I could go back with them, but
am afraid I will have very little
how of doing so. This school is
cry uncertain or at least I know
othing of how long it may run. All
get is the main rumors, and l put
o confidence in them. l may be
ere several months and may leave
nv time. However, you need not
xpect me home when the division
ONES, for it is very doubtful if
ONE with them. I am certainly
getting anxious to get back home.
| think this is the hardest part of the
war, waiting to go home. l think
80 much of Mother and Dad and all
he folks back home. 1t takes an
experience like this, think, to
make boy appreciate his loving
patient parents and his good home,
You all have been in my thoughts
| through it all, and have been more
help to me than anything in the
world, and l thank God that can
:ome back to you a much wiser boy
han was when I left home Oct, a
5ear ago.
There isn't much news, Mother;
| 50 I will close for this time. Will
write to you Sunday. Certainly
hope I get some mail from home in
The meantime. Give my love TO
| everybody. Take care of yourself,
! Ind don't get sick during the winter
| months. Love to all.
Your loving son,
John.

The constant drop of water wears
away the hardest stone
The constant gnaw of Towser masti-
Gates the toughest bone
The constant wooing lover carries
off the blushing maid
And the constant advertiser is the

Don't ever think that printers ink is
money to the bad,
To help you jail roll of kale there's
nothing beats an ad.
You can't fool people always, they've
been a long time born
And most folks know that man is

Amerongen, May 12.-An official alb
stract of the preliminary peace terms
published in the Dutch newspapers
which was retranslated and read to
the former German emperor has
aroused considerable excitement among
the members of the IIohenZOllern
party
An inkling concerning what the en-
tente intend to do in connection with
bringing William Hohenzollern to trial
had reached the German officials
earlier In the week. A special mes
scnger motored to Arnhcm to procure
copies of the local newspapers. Mean
while the former emperor continued
his usual occupation of saving logs,
but apparently he Is suffering from
ever growing nervous excitement. His
saw worked as never before, and his
physician, l'r Forester, who assisted
him, was completely exhausted at
lunch time.
How the former emperor took the
news, the correspondent was unable
to ascertain, as everyone in the castle
is sworn to secrecy regarding hap
penings. RumOrs We're circulated IN
the village that he attempted to com.
nit suicide by hanging, but these are
considered canar,ls, since his attend
ants are quite calm.
Paris.-TwO additional notes have
been sent by Count Won BrockdOrff
IeantZau, head of the German peace
delegation, to Premier Clemenceau as
president Of the peace conference.
The notes dealt with the subjects of
prisoners of war and labor legislation.
The replies which the council of four
sent to the preceding German notes
made public were drawn up. according
to the Temps, with the personal and
particularly active collaboration Of
President Wilson.
The German delegation at Versailles,
ir notes transmitted to NJ. Clemenceau
as president OF the peace conference,
proposes changes In the clauses Of the
peace treaty covering labor problems
and asks that prisoners of war be re-
turned Immediately after the signing
Of the preliminarics.
The notes suggest the holding Of q
Joint labor convention at Versailles to
consider the points raised. Satisfac-
tiOn Is expressed with the labor
clauses In general. but 1t Is pointed
out that they cover principles already
I'm force In Germany and that they do
not 60 far enough.
The Germans suggest that the labor
agreement he considered at the pro-
posed conference along the lines of
the conclusions to the labor confer
ence Of July, 1917.

Washington, May S.-Presldent Will
son issued proclamation by cable
Wednesday for special session of
Congress to meet Monday. May 10.
Secretary Tumulty In making the an
nOuncement said 1t would be impossi-
BILE, of course, for the President to be
here on the opening day. The day
fixed for the special session was much
earlier than Democratic leaders had
expected.
White House officials said that In
naming an early date for the season,
President Wilson was guided largely
by the advice Of Secretary Glass as to
the necessity of passing annual apprO-
priatiOn measures which failed In the
closing days Of the last session.
There was no Information at the
White House as to the probable time
Of the return of the President. but
some administration leaders believed
the President had called the session
earlier than had been anticipated In
order that Congress might dispose Of
the more important appropriation
measures before the treaty was ready
for consideration.
Republicans OF the House virtually
have completed their organization. hut
the Senate has done no organization,

dts went to the home Of Mr.. Almada,

go to the bank with them.
When he attempted to demur, they
are said to have exhibited business
like bomb which they threatened to
use to blow him and his family Into
eternity" unless he consented to do
their bidding. First reports were that
approximately $4,000 was taken from

TA0EelATT SAYS "TREATY SUR
PASSES OUR WORST Ex-
PEcTATIoNS."
Western Newspaper Union New. s.rv,c..


London, May 9.-Under the impress
sion that the peace conditions are
crushing, the Berlin stock exchange
committee has resolved to close the
exchange for three days, according to
dispatch received here. Advlccs state
that at meeting Of the peace COM
mittee. held In Berlin, the German gov
ernment declared Itself In favor of u
commercial treaty with Russia.
Berlin.-The Berlin papers publish
summary of the pence terms, which
are condemned by all from the ex-
treIne left to the ultra conservative
right. DR. TheOdor Wolff, In the Tage-
blatt, says: "Although we were pre-
pared for good deal, even for every
thing: we can only say that the treaty
surpasses our worst expectations"
BerlIn.-The National Zeitung pub
fishes what It terms the official
standpoint the government expects to
take regarding the pence terms. The
government, according to the news
paper. will refuse TO sign any point
OF the treaty which provides for ''Op-
preston Of Germany" For instance,
the entente's standpoint regarding
Danxlg md the Snar valley will not
he accepted. The German delegates.
however, will make every effort to In
stitute negotiations on these and other
unacceptable demands. says the Ma
tIOnal Zeltung.
Paris. - limitations reaching the
peace conference from Versailles lead
to the belief that two or three men,
hers Of the German peace delegation
probably will return to Germany to
consult their government. the others
remaining AT Versailles Germany has
not submitted any communication with
regard TO the peace treaty. All the
exchanges between the delegation ut
Versailles and the home government
nre being kept secret.
The delegates said they had expect
cd from the newspaper reports that
the demands In many respects would
he far-reachinK. but were not prepared
for the terms a. actually laid down
In the printed copy Of the document.
After the conference at Versailles
william NJ Hughes. premier Of Aus
tralin. said. according to Reuter- dis
patch: THE attitude Of Count Won
Hrockdorff. .tantzau was an Intoierabie
insult to the conference. for while
Premier CIemenceau spoke standing.
the German spokesman did not rise
while making his address. In spite Of
their intolerable arrogance. the day
WAS one Of humiliation for the Ger
mans, which we could see had entered
into their souls"
