From, Our Fighting Jack.

Prum. Germany. January Is, 1918,
Dear George: Your reply to my first
peace note received and I was some.
what amazed 10 see that you be-
lioved part OF what I told you II !
can only get folks to believe what |
tell 'em, this war will not have bcen
fought In vain. guess " | am to
get away with anything at all II
will have 10 be by correspondence
from present indications. By the
way the gang is flooking back, tho
civilian population will quickly learn
tho use OF the gas mask for promptly
neutraliEing gas attacks, and about
the time some bird reafs back with
when ! was In France" tho gen
erAl alarm will be sounded, Sure
will be tough on the last ones 10 get
there and from all indications vel
be In n row-boat towed behind the
last boat 10 leave
he only excitement we have had
since I wrote you last In the way OF
artillery was 21 guns In honor or T.
r.. and II was pretty tough work Try.
Ing to keep the OUTFIT at attention"
when they cravcd prone position
from force OF habit.
The Dutch held a general election
last Sunday, and I guess Bryan was
beaten as usual They let tho women
vote over here, but ! suppose It's the
same system they use In New York
state, whste they donJ count 'em
unless they wanV 10.
We Just got word that the states
have gone dry. and several cx-bar-
tenders have declared themselves as
being In favor OF starting "A private
war when they go back, Some OF
tho others have gone 10 far as TO
state that nothing on earth could
coax them togo back They seem
10 thing II unfair to draft all the
drunks into this mans army and
thon let the W. CT. L. pull a bush
league trick Ike that,
That bird from South Dakota who
offered resolution to congress TO
make the world dry place Tor the
democratic party Ia also as phpula r
with some OF the boys ha an N, y
And on top OF that We read with
some amaIement where the W c.
r. U. has started a clgsret crusade
| guess maybe when we do finally
get there, about the only tough thing
guy can do II wear a brown derby
hat We are allNin favor OF saving
tho country, hut us a waste OF time
trying to save some OF tho people
in II, the way figure A. or. II say
ing Is TO become our national char
acterlstic, why not get some sense to
II and save us each blonde?'
As for making France and Ger
many dry, they might better start
on n simple problem OF evaporation
like tho Pacific ocean or Great Lakes
first. These birds inhale beers and
light wines from the time they prop
them up to mess In high chairs un-
III the cha plain, llftins his eyes aloft
says. "ltnd he lived until 80 days
from today, nc would lavc been dead
just one month" Every place wherc
our meny cards read Coffee the
Frogs read vim and the Dutch In
their palmy days read bier" |
watched set OF frogs hold up "A
battery of 75's. about an hour while
they took turns trying TO wire bar
rel OF wine or one OF the cslssons.
Now George, YOU havc had enough
experience with barrelcd booze, both
internally and externally, to know
its some job fastening a big barrel
up on a box with wire so It will ride
over shell torn roads Sort OF looked
for a while as though they might
have TO dismount one OF tho 75's to
make room for ~, but they finally
got Il on o h, aDd Inc war went
nerrily on hat the point is they
could do more destruction with three
guns and one barrel OF wine than
with four guns and no vino. guess
maybe Il will take a trlflc moro than
congressman from South Dakota
10 separate these crows from their
''pInk elephants wearing blue sun
bonnets
! note from your letter that YOU
sent Uncle Woodrow over tuv make
sure that the war was oyer Begins
TO look AZ though he started a fairly
good one over there by leaving Also
understand that you are investigating
tho Y. NJ. &. A In fact when they
get going good on the various invita-
ttons, I'm afraid they'N decide To
fight the war all over again In order
10 demonstrate how much better a
republican congress can handle the
hing I'm not "a knooker but II tho
Y, NJ &, A can prove an alihl 1'U
never get hung for murder either
Personally | believe that II IuClc
Woodrow can do any good hy com.
ing over here, that here ts where hr
belongs. He owes that much to thN
good men who are staying over here
permanently Precedence D. "a fine
thing, especially in the mess line !
