France, December y, 1913.
Dear Mother and All at Home: Just
few lines to let you know / am
still among the living and we'll at
present and I hope this finds you all
enjoying the best of health. Guess
you are busy about this time getting
things ready for Christmas dinner.
Well 1 hope to be home for next
Xmas. Are you having turkey?
Guess I viii eat Christmas dinner
in my shanty here back Of Old Fort
Charney We are going to have tur-
key any way and I don't know what
else but the best that il to be had,
that is one thing we cannot kick
about anyway, we get plenty to eat.
I received your letter Of November
%, also Edith's letter from Balti-
more. Glad to know that all are
getting along all right. You told me
what you were having for breakfast
and not to get hungry, well to tell
the truth / hardly know any more
what it is to get hungry. How is
the weather over there? It is still
raining here this morning. The
ground was frozen a little for the
first time. r guess we will soon
leave our diggings for some town.
Don't know just where yet, but we
are to 60 i'm a couple of days. Well,
I'm going on little vacation the
last of this week, somewhere in the
southern part OF France and will be
gone week or ten days. T will get
out OF the mud for little while at
least. Don't have any idea when we
will get home, the Armistice has
been extended until January LIZ, so
L guess that will mean a month
longer I guess we can stand 1T.
There IL nothing TO do now but wait
our turn 10 return, Of course II will
take time. T don't think there IS
any danger OF the Germans trying
any tricks now. If. they know when
they are well off they won't, for if
this bunch has to get i'm action again
there won't be anything left of Ger
many. will close for this time by
telling you that IL l. showing now
for change, maybe we will have q
white Xmas yet. Wishing you AT A
Merry Christmas and Happy New
Year, il remain a. ever,
Your son,

END Of NAT|ON-NI!D]E: COAL STRIKE
BR|GHTENS LOCAL FUEL SITUATION

Il
and the Committee asks the coop
GRAFTON OF all in this urgent matter
The committee has furnished the
dealers with list showing the ac-
tual amount of coal in the bin of
every householder. and deliveries
will be made only to those in i'm
mediate need"
Reached Acute Stage Tuesday
The local fuel situation reached
al acute stage Tuesday of this week
when, with practically no wood or
coal in the hands of the dealers, so
families were found to have less
than three days supply on hand.
Following a full discussion of the sit
uation ar the meeting OF the cham
Der OF commerce fuel committee
was named 10 make an inveSti-
cation and authorized to take any
steps necessary to conserve the
fuel supply and prevent suffering
from cold B. H. Douglass, presi-
dent of the chamber of commerce,

tee upon motion of the chamber and
the following co-workers were
named j. n. Emerson. II. v Car

prompt Action by Fuel Committee
Prevents Suffering on Account
of Lack of Fuel-IwO Cars
Wood and Car of Coal
Relieve Acute
Condition

With the receipt of two cars of
wood and car of coal the most
critical fuel condition in the history
of Pullman was relieved Wednesday
and Thursday of this week. With
the end of the coal strike, it is be-
lieyed that the crisis IL past and that
the local dealers will be able to sup
ply enough fuel, in small lots. to tide
the citizens over until the normal
shipments are resumed. Two more
carloads of wood are due to arrive
late this week from Viola and Troy,
and the city has been promised two
cars of coal for weekend delivery.
One car will be Canadian steam coal
and the other coke. While not by
any means choice coal. the two car
loads, burned with wood, will suf-
flee to keep the people warm until
better fuel can be secured.
THE danger of a coal famine,
which doomed big the first of the
week, is probably past, said B. H.
Douglass yesterday. With the fuel
we were able to get we have supplied
each of the families which were in
immediate need with small quanti-
ties, and by continuing to send out
small lots in cases of actual short
age only, we can very probably keep
each family supplied with few
days run and prevent suffering 1t
will be necessary, however, to con-
serve every pound of coal possible.

COAST|NG ZONE PRO-
POSED BY CHAMBER
Would Patrol Crossings on Campus
Avenue and Opal Street and Let
the Youngsters Coast to
Their Hearts Content

The establishment of a coasting
sone on Campus avenue and Opal
streets, on college hill, is proposed
BY the chamber of commerce as a
means of affording healthy recrea-
tioon for the youngsters of the city
with the danger of accidents re-
duced to the minimum. The plan
was suggested by DR.. L. Gille-
land before the chamber of COM
merce session Tuesday and after full
discussion the matter was referred
TO the board of trustees, with the
recommendation that they cooper
ate with the city council in an eff
fort to make satisfactory arrange
ments for coasting.
1t is proposed to station watch
men, preferably ex-soldiers who seek
employment, at the crossings, to di-
vert the automobile traffic to other
streets and to see that the coasters
follow the rules that would be laid
down for them.
The city council is reluctant to
take any formal action in establish
ing a coasting zone. as such action
would make the city liable for ac-
cidents, and for this reason it is con-
sidered not advisable to place bar
riers on the street crossings against
automobiles but to employ patrol
men to watch the crossings. Senti-
ment in the chamber of commerce
was favorable to paying at least a
part of the expenses of these patrol
men. and to permit coasting only
during specified hours. 1t is
thought probable that an arrange
ment can be made between the cham
Der and the council that wiz at ieast
make coasting. on Campus avenue
and Opal street safer than at pres
emit.

TALENTED DRAMATIC
READER COMING
Mary Pendefast Mclean to BE Heard
in Pullman Shortly After
Christmas

Margaret Prendergast Mclean,
dramatic reader of rare ability, for
merly of the faculty of the Leland
Powers School of Spoken Word, Bos-
ton, Mass, has been engaged to give
a recital in the college auditorium
Friday evening, Jan. 16.
Mrs. Mclean is one of the lead
ing interpreters on the platform to-
day. She will select her program
from a broad, repertoire which in
cludes the following
Under Cover -. Roi Cooper Megrue
A comedy which teaches that
honesty is the best policy
The House of Rimmon .....
......... Henry Van Dyke
This play is founded upon the BIZ
BILE story of Naaman of Damascus,
1t is a powerful dramatization in
which the glory and magnificence of
that period. with it's corruption and
sin, are contrasted with the unselr-
ish love and simple faith of a beau
tiful maid whose belief in the true
God can not be shaken.
Scenes in the Life of Jean Val
jean from Les Miserables.
........ victor Hugo
Modern poetry from the works of
Browning. Tennyson. Longfellow,
Kipling, Noyes, Masefield, and
Tagore.
These programs are chosen espe-
cially for use before college and uni
versity students. They are primari-
ly for entertainment but are so ar
ranged as to give a definite idea of
the poets work. They teach valu-
able lessons in literature in the most
delightful, and at the same time,
the most successful way.
Mrs. Mclean is an artist, schol-
ar. and a beautiful woman. Her
broad sympathies and universal out
look, combined with a thorough I'M
derstanding of her art, make her be-
loved throughout the country by
pupils, friends, and audiences. Miss
Melcena LaFollette, instructor in ex-
preston in Washington State, stud
led under Mrs Mclean at the Leland
Powers school, and recommends her
very highly.
Student passes will admit to the
entertainment. The general public
will be admitted for SO cents.
