LETTER FROM FRANCE.
Camp De Souge, France.
February IL, 1919

My dear Mother;-
l I told you in my last letter that we
were expecting to move. We lett Lee
COrneas, Feb, 9Th, about noon. There
! were 1900 Of us in box cars, pulled by
two little engines. We call them phe-
asant roasters. Well about nine
o'clock that night we got stuck on a
little grade, they ran back and forth
for about two hours trying to get
over the grade. Then the conductor
and engineer had to argue awhile be-
fore they could decide to cut the train
in two and AXE half Of thecars on TO
the camp and then come back after
the others. In the meantime we were
yelling at them to get us out, I was II
an old German car and the floor was
so muddy and dirty. 1t was raining
and the car leaked like a riddle.
We had to stand up all the way and
hang our packs on the wall. One of
the boys said, boys l wish we were
back in the states and could hear a
real honest to God engine make a pull
at this train. Well they finally got us
into the camp about one o'clock the
morning of the 7th and you can bet
we were hungry for we had not haG
anything to eat since ten o'clock the
morning Of the 9Th. We got supper
about three o'clock. There is Is of
us eating at one mess hall. It is
colder here than where we were be-
fore. We have better quarters here
there is some Flu in this camp,
mumps also. One of our men died
last week with the Flu. l have ha6
the Flu twice, once in the states and
once since 1 have been over here, bu;
my health is better now than it has
been since l have been in the army.
have got a lot of horses here. 1
don't think we will be here very long.
1 am in a casual company now, all
the men in my company are from
Florida, my buddy that left Jackson
vile, Fla, with me is still with me.
He is a cowboy from Texas. We have
been together in the same Battery
ever since we left Jacksonville. This
leaves me we'll and I trust it will find
you all the same. Give all the folks !
my best wishes.

The great Federal Reserve Acc,
which revolutioniZed the currency
system of the nation, is a most demo-
cratic law. It's enactment emancipar-
ed the industrial and commercial in

the smaller business man from the
o~verlordship of the special interest.
No one has been able to sustain a CRIT
icism of this act. Big banking con-
Germs protested and frowned ufon IL
at first, but they have come to see its
justice and equity. No Republican
would dare offer to repeal it.
The Democrats revised the tariff
downward. In the eyes OF the rulins
Republicans that was their worst sin.

Their Need for Safety Pins

An a~rcheologist recently dug up a
safety pin from the ruins of ancient
Babylon. Judging from the pictures in
the Babylonian section Of the histories,
however, it seems that safety pins
were worn mostly by the grownups in
those times.

Last Martin County Case Against
League Is Di srnissed.

j With the dismissal of the perjury in
dictment against Fred A. Harding
member of the editorial staff of the Non
partisan Leader and Minnesota Leader
the last prosecution against Non-partisar
league men in Martin county has beer
dropped.
Harding's Indictment was brought
as the result of an affidavit he made
at the time A. C. Townley and Joseph
! Gilbert were arraigned in Martin county
district court on the charge of circuIat-
ing disloyal pamphlets. The charge
against Townley and Gilbert was later
! thrown out by the supreme court and
they were not brought to trial Harding
swore to a statement he said was made
to him by a. deputy sheriff to the effect
that the grand jury was certain to indict
Townley and Gilbert because the mem
bers of the Grand Jury had been reading
a book attacking the League, written
by J. D. Bacon.
Harding was arrested without a
warrant and thrown into Jail. Bail
was refused until the following morning,
when the grand jury returned the perjury
indictment at the request of Albert r.
Allen, former county attorney
, Both Allen and the deputy sheriff,
| who accused Harding of perjury, have

Harding is we'll known as news
paper writer and publicity man. Judges
of the district court in St. Paul offered
to testify as to his reputation for veracity
| if the case went to trial.
