Letter From an Edgefeld Boy
in Coblenz, Germany.

Dear Mr.. Minis:
will write you a few lines to let
you hear from me. am we'll and hope
you are too. Am still in Coblenz but
think l will be back in Edgefeld by
the middle of September.
sure have had a wonderful trip
since 1 left home. Was on two fronts,
the Meuse- Argonne and st. Mihiel,
and believe me, that country was
sure torn up. Of course | was not in
the trenches at all, was little behind
the lines dishing out c. C. pills and
painting the boys with iodine.
have seen French towns that did
not have a house standing at all. A
few rock walls were all that was left,
and all kinds of dug outs that the
Huns had dug. They did not think
they would ever have to leave them,
but when the Yanks got in after them
they left in hurry. l have heard the
big guns bark for 72 hours without
stopping so you know they had to
move. The Germans said it was the
Yanks that won the war, but they
| hate the French and English worse
than they do US.
You know the English tried to
move the Huns from the Verdun
front and couldn't do it, so we had
song about them being a bunch of
"Yellow Backs" Of course, the Brit
ish navy took great part in winning
the war-so did their army-but the
Tommies could not fight like the
Yanks, / have the Germans and
Frenchmen's words for it.
After the armistice was signed 1
left D. and came back down in
France as far as Dion. Then left
there in a Ford and came through
Toul and Metz to Coblenz. have
been to the outposts in Germany,
about 80 miles further in than Co.
blenz. was out there when the peace
treaty was signed. We were there
ready to go at once, further into Ger
many if they had not signed. Guess
we would have been in Berlin by now
for we were fixed for going if we had
to fight our way. But as the treaty
was signed, we vii get home instead
and all be happy.
have seen about two-thirds of
France and one-third of Germany,
Ibut me the U. S. A. for mine all the
time. France has lots of pretty girls
and some of the boys over here have
married few of them, but will take
an American girl or none at all.
Your friend,
JAMES M. WALTON.

TWO MORE PACT
A|MENDMENTSGO CO
DOWN To DEFEAT.
Fall Compromises Are Beat
en- without Record Vote
Only Two Remaining
Amendments Yet to Be
Voted On May Accept
Offer of Col. House to
Appear
LRepubiIean A. p. Leased wireI

WASHINGTON, Oct. 17.-After a
brief debate and without the formality
of a record vote, the senate today threw
out two more amendments written into
the peace treaty by the foreign rela-
tons committee.
The two amendments had been in
troduced by Senator Fall, republican,
New Mexico, and had as their common
purpose curtailment of the power Of
the American representative of the
reparations commission. an interna-
tional body set up by the treaty to fix
and collect Gernanys reparation.
The vote came sooner than bad been
expected, the leaders agreeing to it as
part of plan to complete the consid-
Grafton of amendments as soon as
possible so that the senate might get
down TO the real work of drafting a
ratification resolution. Only two Of
the committees 46 amendments now re-
main to be considered and it is hoped
to bring them to a vote early next
week They both relate to equalization
of voting strength in the league Of
nations.
Action on the two Fall amendments
came near the end OF a session which
had been enlivened by a sharp debate
over the dispatch of American troops
to Europe for service in connection
with the Silesia plebiscite and a new
move from administration quarters to
meet the objections Of Irish-Americans
TO the league covenant. During the
day some progress was made in the
formal reading of the treaty text, and
the foreign relations committee took
under advisement an offer from Col. r.
NJ House to appear before it
In anticipation of a roll call, both
sides had mustered their forces in the
senate chamber as the time for action
on the Fall amendment approached.
As the resolution was put, however,
Senator Hitchcock Of Nebraska. the
administration leader. asked Senator
Fall whether it was his purpose to re-
quest a roll call, and the New Mexico
senator replied that it would be useless
since he realized the measure would be
beaten. In quick succession the two
votes then were taken by acclamation,
no one asking for a count.
The only speeches made on the
amendments were by Senator Fall and
oy Senator Kellogg, republican, Mime
sofa, the latter arguing that the pur-
pose could be served sufficiently by
reservations. In the course of the day
various other features Of the treaty
and the peace negotiations were dis
cussed, Senator Brandegee, republi-
can, Connecticut, and Senator Wads-
worth, republican, New York, attacking
the dispatch of troops for Silesian duty
and Senator Hitchcock and Senator
Nelson, republican, Minnesota, defend
ing the action.

Women OF Nation
To Aid In Fight
On High Prices

WASHINGTON, Oct 17.-Attorney
General Palmer and his official asso
ciates in the fight on the high cost of
living determined today to enlist the
aid of the women of America.
By appealing to the comptrollers Of
household finances through the coun-
try it is hoped to inaugurate an epoch
of real economy which will offset the
buy now" propaganda of trades peo-
pie. Furthermore. an attempt will be
made to discourage the frequent
changes in styles dictated by makers
of women's apparel and thereby effect
a saving in clothing. Another impor-
tant decision taken at todays meet
ing was to release more surplus sup
plies held by the governmnt, if it can
be done without embarrassment to the
departments involved. Secretaries
Baker and Daniels and Chairman John
Barton Payne, of the shipping board,
were invited to the conference for the
first time for that purpose. Mr.. Baker
being unable to attend, the attorney
general and Mr.. Daniels will confer
with him next week. Mr.. Daniels re-
ported that he had sugar enough TO
run the navy six months, but before
he released any of it wanted to be as
sured of ample requirements.
