Dec. 9th, 1918.

Dear Mamma
Just line to let you know that /
am getting along all right. Suppose
you had very nice Christmas. We
had very nice time, but it would
have been much better if we could
have been at home. We had a nice
piece of pork for dinner, and l GER
tainly did enjoy it. The band play
ed for us until we had finished our
dinner. Considering the circum-
stances l suppose we did very well
for this place.
1t showed nearly all day long and
that made it seem more like home
to us. But as the old song goes,
"There Is No Place Like Home
Sweet Home For Me-"
I remember the war tales you used
to tell US kide, but little thought
that some time / would have to go
through the same thing. But l have.
l have killed men face to face and
thought nothing of it, because it was
either to kill them or be killed. Days
after days, and nights after nights,
without anything to eat or drink, l
have gone into battles. never saw
bed for months, and the only place
we had to sleep was in the woods or
roads, or most any place we could get
to lie down. 1t rained most of the
time. l suppose some of it must
have been caused from the firing of
our big guns. No doubt you read of
those big navy guns in the last bat
tie. They helped us great deal to-
ward winning the war. Now it is all
over, and | thank God that | am still
alive. l hope Martin is all right. !
hardly think he reached as far as
the front lines, because the troops
that came over just before the war
closed did not see the front. l hope
Martin in that lot.
When you write me again tell me
what camp he went to, and | will try
and find him. Also give me some
idea Of what month he sailed for this
place, and perhaps l can find out
just where he is stationed.
l don't think there is any need to
worry about him being killed, unless
he was killed by accident.
This is all for this time. Hope to
hear from you soon. This leaves me
in the best of health.
Your son,

We are glad to say Mr.. Willie Nc
Donald returned home Sunday morn
ing from France. He has been gone
seventeen months. He sailed for
France the 18th day of May, 1918.
He was one among the first boys to
leave our community. He was in
training camp at Camp Sewer eleven
months, and six months in northern
France, Belgium and England. He
was in the thickest of the battle when
they broke through the Hindenburg
line, and went over the top on the
morning of September 29th, 1918,
at which time he was wounded and
carried off the battlefield by four
German prisoners, He was then in
the hospital for four months and he
can tell some very interesting things
about the war, and like all the boys
has good word to say for the Red
Cross. We were all glad to see old
"Bill" back again. About fifty of his
relatives and friends were in to see
him Sunday.

A Word On War
Savings Stamps

After the great record Greene
county has made on increased pro
duction, Government Bonds, Rec
Cross, Y. M. C. A. and other war &C
tivities, it is humiliating to note the
attitude of many of our people ir
selling their War Savings Stamps anC
Bonds.
The Government agreed that they
would cash War Stamps on ten days
notice for any man, with the idea
that no patriotic citizen would ask it
unless he had met with misfortune
or reverse that made it necessary
and there is very little patriotism in
any man that withdraws his money
for the sake of making a little high.
er interest.
The war is not yet over, our boys
are still in France, our great war debt
is yet unpaid, our government faces
a loss of one billion dollars in order
to pay our farmers 1926 for wheat
which is 81 per bushel higher than
the world price. With these facts
before us, the man who sells his War
Stamps and cuts the price of his
Bonds, unless he is forced to do SO
from adversely, is almost as much of
Stacker as the man who did not
buy at all.
Your Bonds are good collateral
anywhere and so are your War
Stamps. The man who asks you to
cut the price on either is an enemy
to his Government.
Any man who has had sickness or
misfortune, and actually needs his
money can cash his War Stamps by
giving me ten days notice, land get
full price for same. There is no use
selling them at a loss.
In some sections of the county |
learn that small holders are being
told that they cannot possibly cash
their War Stamps, and that same
have been bought as low as $3.50
each.
This "Jockeying" in War Stamps
and Bonds is disgrace to our citi-
zenship, and every good citizen
should lend his aid in stamping it
out.
If through bad luck, misfortune or
sickness, any of our people are forced
to part with their War Stamps, then
bring them to me and | will give you
full value, after ten days notice, in
stead of your selling them to the un-
patriotic men who ask you to take
less than their worth.
These Stamps are not transferable
and / have instructions not to cash
War Saving Certificates unless the
names of owners be affixed thereto,
or when presented by persons and
firms, known to be buying them for
speculation, and notice is hereby
given that / will not do so.

ed to take his 1918 Stamps, if he will

is making practice of buying War
Stamps, and will keep as confidential

The Salvation Of Russia.

Are civilizations forces to be kept
leashed while the armies of anarchy
are permitted to march on and on to-
ward any goal they may set for them
selves?
This is the issue squarely confront
ing the world today as the result of
accumulating chaos in Russia. The
problem cast into the peace crucible
in Paris has SO far proven insolvable.
Unless some energetic, effective force
is used it will remain so.
In their arguments that Russia can.
not be restored and order maintained
there until the allies take firmer steps
than any yet devised; that Russia
otherwise will remain q potential
menace to the world and particularly
Europe, the French statesmen in the
peace conference have strong backing.
Though President Wilson and Premier
Lloyd George had hopes that possibly
discordnnt elements Of Russia might
consent to discuss their Emergencies in
conference at Prinkipos, the under
lying motive behind the Prinkipos pro-
posal was to prove to the war weary
peoples Of the world that they might
have to go farther in military endeavor
before they would be safe. The Ger
man problem was one thing, the Rus
sian is still another, ono which must
be met.
1t is doubtful that French, British
Evening star., 1919-04-15


and Italian armies under the banner Of
CONSUMPTION would have undertaken a
Russian expedition without protest,
rigorous as may. be the discipline in
all these forces. Statesmen in Paris
knew this. Hence the call for volun-
teers, q call which is being emphasized
in every country. Invariably these
volunteer forces are asked if they OBJ
ject to Russian service, all of which in
dicates the direction Of the European
mind at the present moment.
There are many objections to mill
tary endeavor in Russia. But if the
Russians absolutely refuse to discuss
their own salvation, refuse to accept
allied aid without stipulating many
unacceptable conditions, including
recognition of elements incompatible
with the best interests Of the world,
and they continue to remain firm in
this, the French argue there is no other
course than the sending of military
forces to meet bolshevism, this move
to be followed by really constructive
efforts along economic lines; efforts
which will acquaint the Russian peo-
Piles with the false standards they have
been following under the reign Of
Lenin and will show them the gulf that
lies between settled order and boil
shevism. The theory that this is the
only policy is finding more followers.
Practical application very probably is
the issue before the statesmen of the
world, and not decision as to the even
tual course
