Camp Valdohon France-Dear
Dad,- Don't guess / will be with
you Christmas. so you can read
this letter that day and think Of
me especially at dinner. l am sure
we will have a good dinner
though we are over here. You
know Uncle Sam doesn't forget
his boys on Christmas and Thanks
giving, besides we have one of the
best mess sergeants when it comes
to fixing something good to eat.
Will tell you a little about my
stay in France. We landed at
Brest, there wespent several days
in our little day tents. They call
ed it a rest camp. but was but
little rest we got. We had to get
our details day and night, and it
rained all the time then. From
there we went to Messac and there
we found rest camp. We had a
girl college to live in. and was To-
Gated right in the heart of town.
There was only one thing that
could bother a person and that
was the church was right next
door to us, and it had some four
or five bells in it that rung day
and night. Just about the time we
got use to that we moved again.
AS you know the car shortage
oevr here caused us to hike to the
next camp which was about TWEEN
ty miles from there, camp de Caet-
quidou. Then we got some very
good training and had pretty nice
Barracks to live in. We got plenty
of good eats and all got fat. On
the 18th of November we came
here whore we found one of. the
prettiest and best camps in France
We are right along the Swiss bor-
der in the foot hills Of the Alps
mountains. We were three nights
and two days making the trip. We
came through Paris and several
other good towns. besides we saw
some of the prettiest country in
the world. Up near Paris was the

1T is impossible to describe the

out life by his system of cruelty
desperation. At the demand Of
Turkey these people refused to de-
ny Jesus Christ, and adopt
Mohammedanism, and completely
extinction seems to be the penalty
they might pay. These people liv-
ed in good homes, were prosperous
and happy until driven out BY the
brutal Turks. Husbands, sons and

children left to die. II the people

WHY is SUCH A SCHEDULE
MAINTAINED?

The attention of this paper has
been called to the present schedule
of the train running from Ontario to
Crane, and we fail to understand why
it is permitted or what is gained by
the railroad company to continue 1t
thus when the disadvantages are
pointed out. 1t is possible we are
misinformed, but If not there is
every reason why strong protest
should be made to have 1t changed.
The Times Herald is informed that
this train leaves Ontario just twenty
minutes before the east bound train
from Portland comes in, thus passen-
gers have to remain over in Ontario
almost "a hours. The same il the
case with our mail. Portland papers
which are the largely read papers in
this place, are that much late, where,
if the schedule were changed it would
bring them in earlier
The railroad people get very little
passenger travel to and from this
point because of this bad connection
and people will continue to drive
across $50 miles to Bend when roads
will permit rather than submit to
the delay occasioned by the trip via
Crane and Ontario.
The train is supposed to arrive at
Crane at $50 in the evening but
according to people who are familiar
with conditions 1t is seldom it ar
rives at that time. almost always
hoing late. So far as that is con
cerned, what difference would 1t
make whether the train arrived at
that time or half an hour later. so
long as it served the patrons?
The matter should have the atten-
ton OF our citizens. and If it could
be shown to the proper authorities
of the railroad that it was not only
disadvantage to this country, but
also to the interests of the railroad,
the schedule might be changed.

MILITARY PUNIsHMENTs.


A civilian investigating the oues-
tlon of military punlshments ap-
proaches the subject with point OF
view utterly different from that of
the military man. An infraction of
discipline which seems to one trif-
ling matter appears to the other of
great Importance and deserving of
severe punishment.
The soldier must learn to obey In
stinctively. He must subordinate
his own thoughts and wishes and per-
sonality to the word OF command.
An army moves as a unit, and 1t can
not do so unless every individual
composing 1t is absolutely subject to
discipline.
If your son refuses to pare potatoes
when you ask him, you can reprimand
him and refuse to serve him with
potatoes at dinner. and the matter
practically ends there. II your cni-
ploye will not pare potatoes at your
command you have only to discharge
him and hire some one else who will
be more accommodating, and the mat
ter ends there.
But the soldiers refusal to pare
potatoes may be the little end of a
wedge whose large ond is the sacri-
flee of the lives of ten thousand men.
The example of breach OF discipline
spreads rapidly. SO the punishment
must necessarily be far heavier in
proportion than In civilian life.
