time we were at the front.
Hope you both are we'll. Don't
worry about me any more; / am in
no more danger, and feeling fine;
have not been sick a day since
have been in the Army. l am trying
to take care Of myself. We don't
have very much work to do now; all
we do is eat and sleep. we get eX-
ercise in the morning. Don't worry
about me not sleeping warm; l have
plenty of nice warm blankets to sleep
under. 1t is very cold over here now,
but nothing to compare with last
winter in the U. S. a.
Tell Herbie to write to me. l re-
ceive mail from you and Myrtle
quite often. l, received two letters
from sister. 1 sent all my brothers
cards last week.
1 don't know when we will be
home; sometimes 1 think we will
start in a few days, and then l think
we are never coming home. l new
er had an idea we would be IN
France this long after Tho armistlce
was signed.

Dear Dad:

January u. I9l9.
Dear Dad:
Your letter received and you are
expecting me home at any time now.
Well. am not on The way homeland
there is no bright outlook ot my set
ting back ii he very near future.
Every mothers son OF Us over here
.is mighty anxious to get back, l can
tell you, but we have no vcioe in the
matter. 1t is up 10 the people OF the
United States who sent Us over here
to get US back. 1t appears to me it
is about time you people woke UP
and started something. W. are over
here, fiddling away our time, and
spending your money, waiting and
hoping in vain for the time 10 come
when we can come back.
1t seems the people CT America
have forgotten their boys over here,
now that We have come across and
done our bit in the way they wanted
it done. This may sound strong,
Dad, but we boys are all sick OF false
rumors and shattered hopes. It. is
up to you people in the States to get
us home.
1 see where one or two Senators
have had the nerve to set up and
speak in our behalf, but most Of the
country seems to be deaf to the earn
est call of their boys in the 4. L. Z.
We often read of the ships and IA
cilities you have for transporting US
home, and yet the latest reports state
that only some 100000 Of Us have
returned, and most of these were
casuals. When they needed us to
win the war and save the world for
democracy, they rushed us over at
the rate of 100000 a month. Now
nearly three months have elapsed
since the signing Of the armistice,
and only about three weeks quota
in war times have been taken back.
Where are these ships and transpor-
tation facilities the papers tell US
about? If this letter gets thru the
censor all right, and you want to put
it in the paper, go ahead, and if this
letter was large enough l could get
the signature of every man in my
organization that these are our uni
fed sentim ents.
I am well, and still hoping to get
back. l must close now, with all my
love to you and mother and brothers
and sisters, l am, your sou,

Mrs. Lucy Creighton, of Fishing
Creek, has received the following
letter from hre brother, Private
Charles Creighton, Co. y, 313th Inf,
A. E. F.:
Dear Sister:
Just a few lines to let you know
l am well, and hope when this rea-
ches you you will be the same. L
don't guess we will get home as
soon as we would like to, because
this country has many duties for us
TO perform.
Sis, my mouth is watering for
some of those oysters you were
speaking about. I believe l have for
gotten how an oyster looks. l am
certainly glad to hear that Mother is
well, and also all the rest of the fam
lily. 1 am very grateful that you all
remembered me, and send my best
regards to them all. When L get
back again, believe me, l will stay
in the dear old U. S. a. for while
Yes, 1 was lucky to come out with
out a scratch, and there is no more
need to worry about me now, for
| am in no danger at all. l have writ
| ten Virgie letter, and suppose she
has received it by this time. l will
, keep you posted as to every move we
make, but hope tn enext will be to-
ward home.
Hoping to hear from you real
soon, I am. your loving brother,
CHARLES.

Dear Mother:

ICCCi -hiclL4CL
AS l have a few spare moments, 1
will endeavor to write you a few
lines to let you know that / am well,
except little cold, and I have had
cold ever since J have been here, SO
I am getting used to it by this time.
Well, we had little snow here
last night, for change. Fer about
one week, | think, we haven't had
much snow, yet we do not have as
much here as we do at home, but it
rains almost all the time, and there
is always any amount of mud, but
we always look forward to the day
when we won't have to be here in
the mud. We hope anyway to get
back by the middle of the summer,
but I am in the army for occupation,
and can't tell how Ions we will have
to stay.
1 am still on detached service with
the 10Th Division; I haven't been
back to my company since the 18th
CT December, so 1 haven't received
any mail since then. 1 hear some of
the boys are home already, and be-
ing mustered out; I wish that [ were
among them, but my day will come
sometime soon, / hope.
l guess the boys that had just gone
to camp when the armistice was
signed were happy to hear it, and al
so glad when they were back home
again. They were pretty lucky, don't
you think?
1 have lots OF things to tell you
when 1 get back home; I can tell you
more than I can write, but I will say
this much, l do not think the Franch
are treating the boys exactly right
over here, and anlglad that ] dcr't
have to stay over here around them
all the time:
Is the "fu" still bad in the States?
How is everybody around home?
heard about Clifton Pearson being
bumped off o-er here. Tell Mrs.
Simms I met a boy the other day
who knew Leon. He said he was
slightly wounded in the hand, but
was getting along fine. 1 don't know
whether she has heard it or not.
There is a fellow by the name of
Mackentire, from Mt. Vernon, who
knows them. He is in my company.
Well. will close for this time, as
there is nothing of interest to tell
you. Hoping this finds you all well
and enjoying life, am. your loving
son. GEORGE F.-VANE.

WILSON PLANS
TOUR OF U. S.
President Seeks Public view on
World League, Says Paris
Dispatch.
may MAKE TRIP IN MARCH
Plans to Return to Peace Conference
After Learning coantry's Opinion
Gives Dinner to Members Of
American Commission.

Paris, Jan. 16.-President Wilson Is
considering speaking tour of the
United States when he returns home.
1t Is said that this trip will take him
into many Of the principal cities and
ii is possible that he may touch the
Pacific coast. His plans are not as
yet matured, but it is believed that he
has discussed the plan with his nd
yiSers
With congress out of the way early
in March Mr.. Wilson would have an
opportunity for such tour before re-
turning to Europe should he follow his
original plan and II his return should
be necessary. He would also have
time for his proposed trip before the
convening of an extraordinary session
of congress- shJula he decide TO call
one.
So far as Known. MIR. Wilson has no
plans for an extra session, but he still
holds 10 his idea of returning to the
peace congress. IL IL Is felt his pres
ence is necessary TO the success of
the league of nations.
The object of his proposed speaking
tour would be TO inform the country
by personal contact Of the proceedings
at Paris and at the same time sound
out and encourage public sentiment in
support Of the peace principles he has
enunciated and which he feels have
, hern acclaimed by the masses in Eu-
rope.
There are rs vet no official announce
ments of the presidents purpose. bat
some of those ciisse TO him suggest
such trip Is feasible in view OF the
fact that 1t is aow certain that the
peace congress will still be working
on its problems during the summer.
Mr.. Wilson's friends believe that pop
ular expressions In the United States
might support those of England.
France and Italy and have great in
fluence on European statesmen.
The president das told his friends
that he considers the receptions given
him ny the people of Europe, not as a
personal Endorsement but an approval
Of his peace principles. He Is being
tour to give opportunity for popular
manifestations of public opinion in his
own country.
President Wilson gave dinner to
| members of the American peace COM
mission and its technical advisers, In
Guiding e. n. Hurley, Il. n. Baruch,
Herbert c. Hoover and Vance McCor-
mick. E. NJ. House was the only ab-
sentet. being still too III to leave his
! home.
The first question to come up be-
fore the actual peace conference next
Saturday will be that of the proposed
league OF nations. and 1t was made
known today that 1t had been planned
for the conferences to devote II hocrs
daily TO this work IL necessary, until
it is on the way to completion.
