Dear Mrs. Smith:

Dear Mrs. Smith:
I just received another letter and
one-dollar bill and am certainly de-
lighted I don't know what excuse
can offer for never having written be-
fore and thanking the men and women
of Ray for the tobacco and money sent
me. 1t is not because did not appre-
ciate it (far from it, because l was
always looking for it, but 1 kept put
ting it off, until 1 was almost ashamed
to write, so l want 10 express my heart
felt thanks for the tobacco and money
Was very glad to see the way that
Ray contributed to the Fourth Lib
erty Loan. You don't know what a
great and cheering feeling it is to be
away over here and know that the
folks at home are backing us up the
way they are doing.

division was made a depot division as
soon as we reached France and had

Langres to study for commission

left here about three weeks ago, pre-
sumably going to the Second depot di-
vision, but am not sure. John Brown

got letter last night from you, con-
tanning the familiar one-dollar bill and
was certainly pleased, as this was his
first.
That set us to talking of old times
at Ray and the different people who
were still there, and it certainly made
me homesick. You may rest assured
that 1 will be back there when we ar
rive in the U. S. and I have spent a
few weeks at home eating up all moth

sized town by now and I am anxious
to see it. France is very pretty and
interesting, but not half so much as

SECOND DAMAGE
SUIT RESULT OF
HILTON STAGE WRECK

The second damage suit to be filed
as result of the Hilton stage line
accident on the Ray-Kelvin road last
July was filed in the superior court
of Maricopa county this week Rob-
ert H. Herring, pastor of the African
Methodist church, is the plaintiff He
asks $10,68785 in damages for injur-
les alleged to have been received
Concerning this suit the Arizona Re-
publican says
Robert H. Herring, pastor of the
African Methodist church, has
brought suit against the Phoenix Ray
Junction and Sonora Stage company
for $10,687.85 for injuries alleged to
have been received while a passenger
on stage. The negro preacher claims
to have sustained serious injuries in
an accident which occurred on July
27 which kept him confined in hos
pitals IN Ray and. Phoenix for a period
of four months.
His loss of salary for the third of
a year, during which he was unable
to stand in the pulpit, amounted to
$50, he says, claiming $327.85, the
sum paid out to physicians and SUR
geons. The balance of $4,000 is the
amount the plaintiff seeks to recover
in damages.
The trip made by Herring covered
little more than a mile. He boarded
the stage at Ray and, en- route for
his destination, Ray Junction, ap-
preached a road that was being re-
paired He charges that machinery
and mule teams occupied position
in the highway so as to preclude pas
sage to the right, and leaving but
limited passageway on the left side,
where the surface Of the road was
loose.
The driver of the stage is alleged
to have carelessly, negligently and
recklessly attempted to pass on the
left, and that the surface gave way,
precipitating the automobile and pas
sengers with great force and violence
down the embankment to the bottom
of the arroyo.
The plaintiff states he sustained
many body bruises and injuries, his
left thigh being broken. He was TAX
en- to the hospital at Ray and later
removed to Phoenix.

''Nobody Can Drive Allies
in Sea"-Gen. March;
Plan u. S. Men Out June 80

Declaring that the Archangel situa-
ton from a military view was we'll in
hand, Gen. March today said it was
incredible that the allied force there
can be driven into the sea by any
body" He announced that the War
Departments plan was to have the
American forces out of that portion
of Russia by the end OF June.
The chief of staff's statement was
made in connection with reports from
England that the allied and American
forces combating the bolsheviki were
in a serious situation.
Several months ago. when the plan
for sending a contingent Of railroad
engineers to reinforce the force in
northern Russia was first announced,
Secretary Baker said the duty of the
engineers would be to prepare for
the withdrawal of the American
forces "in the spring" Gen. March's
statement today is the most definite
announcement of the government S
purpose.
There has been no statement of the
conditions under which the Americans
will withdraw. nor any announcement
to indicate that they will be accom-
panied by all the allied forces now op-
Grating in cooperation with the anti
bolshevik north Russian armies.

"On all territorial questions a satis-

In leading up to this declaration the

heretofore for one another.
Lloyd George are Of the same heart

continues Nevertheless, different

bootleggers are in enc and the same
gang-when they are officers.
Their procedure is this: They get
liquor and they sell it to a customer,
enc or two of them watching the tram
saction from q distance. The money
is paid for the liquor. and it is good
liquor. The purchaser then proceeds
on his way. and before he has gotten
very far he is intercepted by the al
legged officers. They arrest the man
with the liquor. and after hearing ''ex-
plantations" the officers agree to let
the man go on condition that he sur

There is no question that this pro-
cedure is being operated here, for one
man has been found who made the
purchase from the bootleggers, paid
the money and was arrested. and then
released after making the usual prom
ises. That the statements of the man
are true and that the bootleggers have

use on such occasions are supported
by a discovery in a patrol wagon

Purpose of Conference.

The conference at Spa between
Marshal Foch and Matthias Erzberger,
head Of the German armistice commits

mand OF the allied powers that the
three divisions of Polish troops in
France. under Gen. Haller, be permit
ted to go to Poland through the port of
Danzif .'he Germans offered other
ports in East Prussia and Pornerania
for the use of the Poles, and during
the negotiations just concluded, ac-
cording to German advices on Friday,
the Germans proposed that Gen. Hal
ler's forces be taken by the land route
from Luneville, France, across Ger
many to Poland.
The German attitude regarding the
proposed landing at Danzig had been
that the troops might clash with the
population. but Berlin dispatches on
April stated that the government had
informed the party leaders that the
Polish troops might be landed in Dam

have free access "to the territories

eastern frontier either through Dan
zig or by the Vistula, in order to con-
vey supplies to the populations of
those territories and for the purpose
of maintaining order"
From the outcome of the Spa con-
ference, as reported in today's dis
patch, it seems probable that the al
lied representatives insisted as a mat
ter of principle and consistency that
the Germans keep their agreement
regarding the use of Danzig. and that
at least portion of the Polish troops
will be sent into Poland through that
port. while the others will go either
