SOLDIER-EDITOR THANKS
FOOD ADMINISTRATION
Lud Roe, of the Montevideo News,
Says the Soldiers Are Strong on
Community Efforts

A. D. Wilson, federal food admin
istrator for Minnesota, has Just re-
ceived letter from Ludwig Roe, who
has been in active service overseas
for some months. Mr. Roe wrote the
letter from Y. M. G.. A. hut on Nov
ember 5, a date, which as the world
knows, opened the final week of fight
ing in the war. Mr.. Roe, who is
widely known through the state,
is the editor of the Montevideo News
and brother of Herman Roe, editor
of the Mortified News. His letter,
which follows, will be of interest to
the states people:
I'm not going to talk food to you as
| am sure you get enough of that.
However, it might encourage you
as state food administrator to get
my bit of testimony. I can say,
without any attempt at propaganda,
that we are being we'll fed here in
France, due to the great work you
folks are doing at home. During our
first weeks here the Service of Sup
plies had it's troubles, and as a re-
suit we thought we had ours, but of
late the trucks have rolled up to our
rolling kitchen loaded with the staff
of life and all the minor staffs.
LAS one Yank pointed out when
writing home, we are strong on the
community stuff over here Every
meal is community affair-as is
practically everything else we do
from drawing our pay and our smok-
ing tobacco to taking a bath. Ii is
making a great brotherhood of the
whole outfit and we scrap together
and enjoy each other as a real broth
erhOOd. It's a great experience. A
group of Orderlies in the next room
has just been having what would be
called a community concert in the
states. They paid special emphasis
to Hawaiian music. One of the fell
lows played plaintively on a bicycle
wheel minus the tire. Others used
their mess kits to beat an accompan-
iment, and the dancers cavorted be-
tween hunks, with a single candle
lighting the scene.
eve are all mighty proud of the
good work you folks at home are do
ing, and believe me, the knowledge of
it adds vigOr to our efforts over here
With best wishes and expectations Of
seeing good old Minnesota consider
ably sooner than I thought when we
came across"

Manv Women Killed

1t has been pointed out that the
vital part which women played in
this war is evidenced by the fact
that more than one-half neiltioa wp7
men have been killed in tie war.
They owe their deaths to causes con-
nected directly with warfare, as, for
instance, accidents in munition fac
tories, bombs, submarines, fatalities
behind the lines in France, starva-
ton, etc. This is a greater number
than the entire number killed in the
Civil War, says the Granite Falls
Tribune.

MUST EXPEL
 KUN OR POWER
 WILL CONTINUE

Vienna, Wednesday. July 3O-(By assume the definite policy of forcibly eNpelling Bella Kun. the communist leader. Americans here who are in formed as to the situation, believe he will continue as dictator for weeks, or months, according to his own will
 The allied represent atives here have doneall in their power in an attempt to reason with BeIa Kun and to move his patrio otism to persuade him to de- liver the government into the hands of the socialists, rather than those of q few minority communists.
 There have also been various con- ferences between General Boehm, the Hungarian war minister, Magoston, the Hungarian peoples commissary, and other reliable socialists in an at tempt to evolve a reasonable plan, but so far Bela Kun continues to par lev without accepting.
 Bella Kun is said to feel that his po- sition is stronger because of the new harvest coming in, which gives the soviet more food especially as tLou- sands of Hunga arians continue to ice, thus making fewer mouths to feed.
 President Seitz of Austria said to- cay that his country would not be quiet so long as Bella Kun was per mitted to disturb her policy. He said Hun garian soldiers were melting to disorder and that reuisitions of pri- vate houses and villages were going on near Vienna.

 At the meeting of the strikers from Cornwall x Patterson's last night it was decided to send complaint to the War Labor Board against the concern claiming that although they were or dered by the so-called Bridgeport award made by the War Labor Board to pay a minimum of 20 cents an hour to all women workers the operators have never received more than 20 cents an hour.
 At the meeting of the strikers from the Bryant Electric factory this morning a number of the women stated that the Bryant Go. also failed to live up to the award and were only paying 20 cents an hour, instead of the 32 cents fixed by the award.

COTTON PRICE SCARS UPWARD
 TO S10 A BALE

New York. Aug. 1.-Cotton traders, surprised by the Governments condi- ton report of 67.1, a drastic decline from last month, indulged today in feverish buying. prices for October reaching 34.95, an advance of 200 points of s10 a. bale from the lowest shortly after II a. m.
 Upon publication of the report from Washington prices immediately jump ed no points, or more than s5 a bale. Buying orders came in from all quarters and continued to the top notch. Further advance than the highest price reached was checked by the Exchange rule, limiting advances or declines in one day to 200 points.
 Traders expected a decline in the Governments figures, but not so great as the report indicated.
