Damvillieres, France.
' Jan. rs, 1919.
My Dear Mother:-
Well, have been moved again, and
am now permanently assigned to Co.
+, 314th.
Capt. Smith, who was formally in
command Of G Co., returned from the
hospital and was very anxious to get
his old company back. 1t made very
! little difference to me, so l was glad
to make the change with him.
The Captain of this company was
killed November 10th.
My company is detached from the
rest of the regiment and is about
forty miles from Regimental Head
quarters. We are guarding German
ammunition dumps in an area of about
twenty miles. This town, before the
var had population Of about fifteen
hundred Q5O0), now there are only
Two buildings standing in which my
men are billeted, formerly used for
flee buildings by one Of the German
Regiments.
| There are three civilians in the
| town, old French women who We're
prisoners during the war and have
| returned In the area we are guard
ng there are the ruins of twelve small
l Sc hn
1 single building standing.
Every day there are a few of the
old citizens down from Belgium to
! look over where their old homes were.
1t is certainly pitiful to see them.
For instance, yesterday at noon an
I'D woman about sevcnty-five years
lid and girl about seventeen came
nto my Office and requested that a
| couple of soldiers go with them over
| % one of the little towns where they
lad lived that they might try to find
box of money and jewels they had
buried in 1914. They spent the night
| 1ere and went back this morning.
The girls mother, father and three
brothers were killed the first year of
the war and the old woman (who was
the gil's grandmother) and the girl
had been prisoners ever since. -
This country is shot to pieces-one
shell hole after another-with not
even tree left standing.
1t is hard to tell just how long this
Division will be over here, but we do
not expect to stay much longer and
we are all getting very anxious to get
back home.
am glad however, to have had the
opportunity to come up here and see
this country-war swept as it is-and
be with men and officers who have act
ually been in the war.
| could get car load of souvenirs
up here if ! only had some way to
carry them back with me. German
rifles, helmets, bayonets, shells,-and
! in fact anything l could want.
l will try to bring as much of it as
possible.
Give my best regards to everybody
and my love to each member of the
family.
With lots of love to my dear moth

Peter tried to decide on the way to
Mrs. Martins whether to tell her Of
his strange adventures OF not. Al
last he decided to say nothing about
it., So when she asked him about the
pail that he took the -four in, he said
They didn't say nuthin' about giyin'
u hack to me-"
Mra. Martin was frying doughnuts
when he came back and she gave him
q saucer OF the lHtle round ones.
They were hot and crisp and covered
with sugar. and Peter went out on the
south porch to enjoy them and to
share them with Pan. When the
plate was empty he took it back to
Mrs. Martin and found her at the tele
phone. She hung up the receiver just
as he came in and though she gave
him a queer look she said nothing.
When they were all at supper, how
ever, girl Of about Is knocked at
the door and handed Mrs. Martin the
flour pail.
MAS awful sorry," she said, "but
you know how Mandy Is"
Mrs. Martin closed the door and
turned to Peter with comical ex-
preston.

our domestic relations cannot be
harmonious, II Europe remains in
volved in turmoil and strife.
I'VE have benefited enormously be-
cause Of the war, becoming the acute
ly wealthy nation Of the earth, and
we must so conduct our business as
to enable Europe to buy, to pay and
to reconstruct. It therefore is the
part OF wise statesmanship and busi-
ness acumen to limit our immediate
future proflts at home and in Europe
to more modest percentages. What
satisfies US in the way OF profit for
our domestic trade should satisfy us
for our foreign trade, pending, at least,
the completion of a readjustment.
Europe cannot pay in gold: gold
does not and never has existed in suf-
ficient quantity. Therefore we should
make II possible for Europe to pay
in trade as far as may be feasible
and for the balance arrange credits IN
whatever amounts may be necessary
1T needs only constructive planning
harmonious cooperation and efficient
Government effort to make this possi-
Bile. AS part Of the programme educa-
tional propaganda must be undertaken
in order to show the fallacy Of the
thought that high wages benefit labor

Then. after the esta blishment OF the
central and distributing points. we
must determine the wholesale prices
for the products listed, through study
OF those prevailing in the three pre-
war years. Prices during 1915. 1916,
1917 and 1918 also would be found and
charted. Having done this the figures
SO obtained tincluding the price of la
bor), must be chafted as the normal or
100 per cent. line and a reasonable diff
ferential then must be determined as
between these wholesale prices and the
retail price properly to be demanded
OF the ultimate consumer. Then we
should be prepared to begin our price
adjustment in each city and each zone.
mo doubt some commodities would
be found much out OF line and subject
to immediate correction, but once hav-
ing established the proper relationship
their price would be frozen; agencies
would be established in each city, the
price chart would be set up and an
nounced and the public would be
urged. as a voluntary act, to demand
from the retail dealer that he observe

A close up of the pin removed all
doubt. The initials "V. T. w" blinked
at him in letters of fire.
Yet Mix hesitated.
"What,"-he asked the dealer diff
dently-"what happens to be your
name, pardner?"
The dealer squinted, followed Mix's
gaze to the pin, looked up at the Fox
Star again:
"Merrick." he, answered briefly.
"why?"
"Then"-Tom Mix pressed nearer
"these are not your initials?"
The dealer grunted. "Naw-it's Just
pretty ! got from bad man who
thought he could bet"
Whereupon Tom Mix opened nego-
tiatlons and for 5000 obtained possess
sion of the pin, which had been gam
bled away for $25.
THAT dealer was square," says Mix.
HE let me have the pin at tenth its
actual worth when he heard the cir
cumstances and how highly 1t was
treasured by the Major.
But don't imagine that my Job was
done. II had taken me nine years To
come across this loot, and now that
had it l wasn't any nearer restoring
It to the Major. His ranch friend
down at Lubbock had died in the
meantime and couldn't get a line on
where his family had gone. So I was
up against It when I couldn't find out
where to get in touch with the Win
tons.
''If ia had any gumption I would
have realized that the British War
Office would have a record Of Major

and conform to these scheduled prices
He would comply.
Changes permitted and made effec-
tive by the licensing system would be
promulgated only by the central
headquarters in Washington and
when made would be announced in
terms Of percentages so adjusted as to
make the decline equal. Two per cent.
on one commodity might be found to
equal per cent. or 3 to upon another
when translated into terms Of equality
OF reduction. Thus it follows that
each article would have to be con-
sidered separately in the preparation
Of a blanket order covering a general
alteration Of prices. AL commodities
would move upon a sliding scale and
| as a unit.
by organized effort of this nature
and a fixed policy of reduction II is
possible that much lower prices for all
articles listed might be expected with
in comparatively short time and that
within two years the system might be
abandoned"
SHOULD foreign prices be con-
sidered?"
II think so, although some might
contend otherwise" Mr.. Requa an
