Soldier 5 Letters

Mrs. Winfield Murphy, of Bishops
Head, has received the following let
ter from her son, Private Geo. Milton
Murphy, of France:
France. December 80, 1918.
Dear Mother:
1 thought 1 would send you few
lines to let you know l am well and
enjoying the best of health, and hope
when this letter reaches you it will
find you all the same. All the boys
that left home when I did are well.
Floyd Jones and Asbury and Luther
Todd, and we have some nice times
together. We have been with each
other all the time ever since we left
home 1 certainly hope we will go
back together. Mamma, you know
how kind and easy Floyd'c mother
is; that's how he is, and Luther is
the same way; the best old boys
ever knew.
Since we have been oyer here, we
have been to the front four times;
the first time we stayed thirteen
days, then we went back again to
/ rest; the second time we stayed six
teen days. the third time, which was
Sept. 26th, we went over the top and
captured several German prisoners;
, this time we stayed at the front six
days, and during that time drove the
Germans back twenty-five miles. We
! went to the front once more, staying
ten days. We are in the thirty-sev-
enth division, and believe me, we
have done our duty. The war is now
over, and 1 don't think it will be
very long before we come home, then
that will be a grand time. We have
had some narrow escapes, and L am
glad to be alive, but it is all over
now, and there is nothing more to
worry about except getting home.
We are having some bad weather
now; we get up at seven O'Clock in
the morning and the sky is very
clear, but before nine o'clock it will
be raining a storm. I received my

CAMBRIDGE. MD. FEB, /. 1919
Why the Peace Convention?

From the manner in which certain
United States Senators are discuss
ing the results of the sessions of the
Peace Conference. which is being
held in Paris. aud to which duly ac-
credited representatives have been
sent by all the leading countries, one
may we'll ask the question, Why
The Peace Conference" Why not
Just let Senators Lodge, the antigua
ted gentleman who halls from the
State of Massachusetts; Hi" John
son. who halls from California, and
Borah. of Idaho, just take the mat
ter in their own hands and settle the
whole thing?
OF course, it is truth that cannot
be denied, that these gentlemen vary
their opinions from day to day; that
if they find the President of the
United States, who really does hap
pen to have official information about
the various matters under discus
sion, happens to agree with one or
more of their opinions, they immedi-
ately change their views, but all of
that is foreign 10 the question with
them, anyway; the whole gist of the
matter is that they know it all
they fused and fumed because we
did not go to wa earlier; they storm
ed and ragged because the war was
not properly conducted; they now
shake with real Indignation and
righteous anger because the Peace
Conference is actually being conduc-
ted by the duly accredited 1epresen-
tatives of the various natoins, and
without consulting them.
While it may be in poor taste to
hearken back to a disagree cable sub
ject, nevertheless it is an acknowled-
ged fact that the President left these
gentlemen problem that will tax
their intellectual capacities. superior
as they are, to their utmost limit to
settle-either rightly or wrongly
namely, the railroad problem. So far
they have done nothing with it.

the following letter to his sister:
Kaiserlssch. Germany,
December 25, 1918.
Dear Sister:
After several attempts, and very
often thoughts, l now have the op-
portunity to drop you few lines on
this beautiful Christmas night.
Well, sister, times sure do seem
strange. to be spending Christmas
Day in country like this, that at
this time one year ago seemed al
most impossible, but we reached our
object, as always, and there are glad
hearts tonight and sad ones, some
expecting their loved ones to return
and others have received the sad
news that puts all hpoes and wishes
in vain But thank the Lord all is
we'll, and if nothing happens, at the
budding of the trees, 1 will be back
once more, and forever, for 1 under
stand things as they are ale favor
able
We are having quite time travel
| ing through this part of the world;
| believe me, all kinds of scenery and
! mountains. valleys, castles, rivers,
creeks and all other things imagin-
able. Hills galore, all sizes and
lengths. Imagine going up a hill 8
miles long, not a mountain, and then
going down the other side. Well,
that's me; you should sea me, for
such is what 1 like, excitement, for
always was game, you know. Never
scared but once, and / will tell you
| all about that time when / get back,
for the space and time don't allow
me now.
Say, 1 have eaten so much today
that 1 can hardly get my breath. So
you know l am in a critical condi-
ton, for what I have eaten would
make the preacher buck his eyes.
| Not any turkey, for never did care
anything for that kind of fowl
Well, have just written to mo-
Their, so you can exchange notes with
her and see if there is anything that
would interest you, for the news is
scarce here, for / am not acquainted
with this country, this being the first
Christmas l ever spent here. you
know. 1t is real warm for this time
of the year, cloudy weather is what
we have all the time. I don't believe
the sun has shone more than ten
days in the last fifty, but if it stays
like this, we will be all right.
Well, sister, am all o. K. now in
regards to mail, got eight letters
the other morning, one with the
home picture. and my Xmas box. l
couldn't have put one up to suit my
self any better; just what I wanted.
1 am so glad you are getting strong
once more, for 1 feared you would
leave me, and l would not get to see
you any more. I am well and fat as
ever; haven't been sick since I went
to Camp Meade. Believe me, this is
history we are living, and war we
have won that will never be forgot
ten, so it is a great experience.
With love to my sister.
