A WOMAN DOCTOR
WRITES FROM FRANCE
MRS. j. B. GILCHRIST OF MOSCOW
HEARS FROM HER DOCTOR
DAUGHTER

The following very interesting let
ter was received by Mrs. J. B. Gill
christ from her daughter, Dr. Martha
Virgil Gilchrist, who has been work
ing in hospitals back of the battle
front in France for many months. The
letter is full of interesting facts con-
corning the great war and the part
the doctors and nurses took in sal
vaging the sick and wounded of the
allied armies. The letter follows:
Marsille, France, Dec. Is, 1918.
Dear Mother: Here it is almost
1919 and I've hardly cotton used to
writing 1918 yet Won't it be nice
when / get home again and can tell
you everything instead of having to
write it down and now that the CEN
sorship has been discontinued perhaps
they will get through a little more
regularly. You asked me if l came

you anything before about our trip and
rot much yet. Yes, was in convoy
of Is boats, including some 10000 SOL
diers. On the boat | was on were
1000 soldiers and SO women from Col
orado and California and the north
middle states. We had very I'M
eventful trip. 1t was a wonderful ex-
perience. All the vessels except the
one l was on were camoflauged. Ours
was a big English passenger boat and
was making it's first trip as a trans
port. After we landed at Liverpool

PLAN MONUMENTS
FOR OUR SOLDIERS
LATAH COUNTY MEN IN LEGIS-
LATURE INTRODUCE BILL TO
FORM A COMMISSION

Representative Homer w. Garfield
of this county, is the author of a bill
providing for a commission to secure
the erection of monuments to the SOL
diers from each county of Idaho. This
bill was introduced by agreement, by
number of members of the lower
house. The bill is known as house bill
No. 46. Both of the lady members of
the house appear as sponsors OF the
bill. A copy of the bill follows:
can act creating a commission to
decide upon a uniform style and de-
sign of memorial to be erected at
each county seat in the state of Idaho,
to the memory of the deceased SOL
deirs, sailors, and marines from the
state Of Idaho, who lost their lives in
the late war with Germany and her
allies, making an appropriation there
for, providing the amount to be con-
tributed by each county, desiring to
receive a portion of such approprla-
ton, and declaring an emergency.
s'Be it enacted by the legislature of
the state of Idaho:
"Section 1. That there is hereby
created commission to consist of
three persons to be appointed by the
governor within thirty days after the
close of the present session of the
legislature, said commission to receive
no compensation for their services,
but shall be allowed reimbursement
for their necessary expenses while
performing their duties, but not to
exceed five hundred dollars to each Of
said commissioners, said commission

pointment at Boise, Idaho, and de-
termine the kind, character, design,

port. We had everything just as nice
as though we were crossing in peace
times except we had boat drill every
day and had to carry life preservers
every single minute day and night. At
night the boat was in total darkness
| heard of an officer who absent mind
erly struck a match on deck to light
a cigar and had to spend five years
in prison for it. 1t was as much as
ones life was worth to make any
noise after dark for fear of subma-
rines. The boats that crossed after
we did had so much trouble with the
flu hundreds died on board and were
buried at sea- We lost only one boy.
We brought him on to Liverpool with
us. We we're Is days on the boat but
this included the first day in New
York harbor and the last day in Liver
pool harbor Kaiser Bill surely made
a mistake when he reckoned that the
United States could not send an army

plan. have not seen person on this

Now if the censor should get hold of
this letter there would only be left
the date and address.
What sort of a celebration did you
have November 18th. 1t was a won
derful day here. MarseilIes is one of
the greatest places in the world. The
streets are always full. You see peo-
pie of every nation and color in the
world, all dressed In native customs.
There are hundreds of soldiers here
and the day the armistice was signed
they had parades from morning till
night. The different uniforms were
a most interesting study in them
selves, all colors and shapes. Issaw
the formal parade that morning,
standing up on the seat Of big high
American auto truck. Being an Am
er1can woman and with lot of Amer
lean soldiers I came in for large
share Of attention from the crowd as
they passed us. Everyone was beside
himself with excitement and / saw as
many people in tears as in smiles. All
day they thronged the streets so thick
one could not get through except on
foot and when we went to bed at mid
night we could still hear the noise
over in the main part of town. I'm
told 1t did not cease until daylight.
There were many funny things hap
pened that day for anything went,
everyone was in such a hilarious
mood that you could not tell the drunk
from the sober. A few days ago sew
eral carloads of refugees we're ship
ped in so l have been very busy maxi
ing calls on them for they all have
cold and coughs, nearly the whole
bunch. This afternoon we issued out
invitations by putting sign in the
Red Cross work room window that
food would be given out to the refu-
gees at 8 p. m. today and at the hour
we had a crowd of about 200 lined
up. We gave each a plate of lard, a
quart of tomato sauce for soup and a
big chnk of sailed beef, all from Am
erica. 1t was the greatest treat in
the world for they have such small
quantity of miserable food to live
on and are SO thankful to get the
really good sort such as we handed
out today. AS we came home we saw
dozens of them eating bread spread
with lard. Butter Is a thing unknown |
to them.

Gently received a carload Of children's
splendid clothing and some of these
little wretches have not enough on
to keep the flies off, let alone keep
them warm. So you can think of me
very often dressing one of them in
the nice things the folks are making
over there and wondering il they re-
ally ever will get to the children of
France. I like this end of the work
because I see the pleased little faces
and hear the really thankful little
"Mercie Madam" as we put the clothes
on these little folks. 1t is the chill
dren that really count for they are
the future of France and they have
suffered horribly. One poor boy, /
know, was given a bomb by German.

fell away perceptibly during the

two-thirds of yesterdays dealings.
Prices in the main showed decided
improvement, however, rails of the
better class as well as several
minor issues, stiffening, presum-
ably in anticipation of a favorable
outcome of today's conference at
Washingt Steels also improved
with allied equipments, motors,
oils, tobaccos, feathers and distill-

MARKET QUOTATIONS.
CORN GROWS WEAK
AFTER EARLY GAIN

Chicago, March 11.-Weakness
developed in the corn market today
after a moderate advance. The ini-
tia1 strength resulted from asser-
tons that any prospect of excess
s.ye arrivals of hogs had been dis
PEELED. Bears, however, contended
successfully that recent sharp up
turns in the corn market had more
than discounted all bullish factors,
and that further buying of Argen-
tine corn to be brought to the Unit
ed States would have TO be reckon
ed with. Opening prices, which
ranged from the same as yester-
days finish 70 11sc higher, with
May az 1854 to 1876 and July at
1881 to 100, were followed by a
material setback all around.
Oats. like corn, receded after a
minor upturn. Buying was of only
a scattered sort. The market open
cd unchanged to &c higher, with
May at 63l4c to $3.50, and then
sagged well below yesterdays
close.
Radically higher quotations on
hogs lifted provisions. Maximum
gains were the rule.
Reports of long shoremen' S
strike at New York counted as d
depressing influence, but the mar
ket later reboUnded hard when the
report was denied. Prices closed
unsettled, 1ac net lower to 21sc ad-
vance. with May $685. to $1.37l4,
and July S1.3114 to S1.31%s.
The bulge in provisions brought
out realizing sales. Downturns,
however, failed to last.
