TO RAISE $4,000 900 FOR RELIEF
TO MANY NEEDY THOUSAND

| The war is over; victorious peace
has come. bringing with it great cause
! for rejoicing, but at the same time
sober thought for the citizens of this
country.
While our Losses have been heavy,
they are small indeed compared with
those of our allies. though America
will share equally with other nations
the victory.
However. let US not forget that
those peoples whose lands have been
devastated, and the mainstay of their
pros perity gone through the loss of
their young manhood. are looking to
America as the one source of relief
The needs of France, Belgium and
Italy can be reached through govern
mental relief measures. and to this
end steps are being taken, but the
starving peoples of the Near East are
dependent absolutely upon the sup
port of voluntary organizations.
The American committee for relief
in the Near East has been organized
throughout the length and breadth of
free America. 1t has been endorsed
by President Wilson and Secretary
Lansing. This committee is to raise
during the week of January 18th to
18th. s3O.000.006 with which to pro-
vide for 100000 starving Armenian
and Syrian refugees.
The amount asked for has been ap-
portioned to the various states. and in
turn reapportioned to the counties of
those states. Delta county is asked
for Se.295- certainly not a heavy toll
for Delta county. Mortimer Stone
has been named chairman for the
county. and Rev. George F. Klein is
the manager for the city of Delta and
immediate vicinity. There is no time
to lose Just call up either of these
parties and make arrangements to do
Your little part.

about this war it is not safe to trust

Dear Folks: There has been very
little to write, except that / have

days of the war, and anything !
might add would be only a repeti-
tion of that written by writer's with
| far greater vocabularies and powers
of description than | possess. Since
the eighteenth of September our reg
iment has been occupying positions
| in the territory delivered by the
Americans in the St Miheil drive.
and during the period from that
date until the armistice was signed
we have shelled the Germans and
been shelled in return. The first
day we spent at the front was the
unlucky one for us. Our regimental
headquarters was established in a
village about two kilometers behind
the lines, place at which the Ger
mans seemed to have a particular
spite. During the day the Huns we're

At one second TO eleven on the

the Allied guns were pouring

from the sea to the Alps and in our
