Dear Mother:
The censorship has been partly lifted
now SO that we may write as to where
we have been and what we have been
doing.
1t would be quite long story to tell
all about what has been doing here so
will not try to- tell much until get
home. We sailed from New York June
18th and landed at Liverpool June 24th.
After being in rest camp for two
days we went by rail to Southampton
and crossed the Channel from there to
Cherbourg, France; from there we
went to st. Blu by rail and stayed
there about a month training: about
Aug. LIST we moved to n place called
Lucey. north OF Toul. where our Div
;slon went in the trenches and remain
ed there until the st. Mihiel drive OF
Sept. 18th. when they advanced to near
Thiaucourt in front OF Metz; about Oct.
10 we moved to Commercy and from
C1mmercy to Recieourt west OF ver-
don: from there we went through part
of the Argonne Fores to Epiouville
where. the troops again went into the
line and were in the drive of Nov. LIST,
which ended when the armistice was
signed Nov. IL. with our Division on
the Meuse river>opposite Stenay.
We are now a part OF the the Army
of Occupation and came through France.
and through the lower end of Belgium
across Luxemberg and into Germany
where we are now located (at Kyll-
burg.)
OF course, we don't know when we
will leave here but hope to get home
by next spring or summer.
Wishing you all Merry Christmas
and Happy New Year. as ever.

USE COMMON SENSE NOW

The Anaconda Copper Mining Co. has
reduced its quarterly dividend from $500
to $3.50 a share.> says the Manufacturer.
Twenty-three cent copper means loss
of something like $500 a share In an
nual earnings.
The case Of the Anaconda company Is
simply typical of other mining and in
dustrial corporations. They are getting
back to normal basis.
The, thousands of stockholders have
therefore received a cut in their wages.
that is the return in dividends on money
invested has been reduced.
Although the fixed price of copper has
been 20 cents pound, miners have
been paid on basis of 80 cent
price.
Now copper has dropped to 23 cents.
ing scale based on metal price Of 90
cents at which rate wages wev $500
per day. The wage varied with the
price of copper just the same as diYi-
dends varied.
The thousands of stockholders who
have had their dividends or wages re-
duced by a peace time price for their
metal will not feel inclined to main
tain a wartime wage scale.
The sooner this fact is recognized not
only in mining but other lines Of indus
try. the sooner will the high cost of
living come down and business pro-
ceed on normal basis with plenty of
work for all at good wages but not
