country:
February 1, 1919
Mr. Thomas K. Gllsliauntiun,
Alliance, Nebraska.
My Dear Mr. (illshxunun:
You have, of rou'se, been notified
of the death of your son, Thomas A.
(Ilphaunun of Company II, 138lh
Infantry, but I want to write you a
few lines because I am at the hospi
tal w here lie was brought, anl where
he died at 8:10 p . m. January 22nd
of bronchial pneumonia, right scapu
lar. lie was quite seriously III from the
beglnnnlng, but everything ponHible
was done for him in the hope that he
might take a turn for the better. He
made a good fight for his life, and
was very appreciative of everything
that was done for him. The doctors
and nurses in charge, who are among
the best to be found anywhere, did
everything possible for him.
He was given a military funeral
the afternoon of January 23rd. Ills
srrave Is Number Slity in the French
Military Cemetery here In Commercy
This cemetery has in it the graves of
nearly three thousand French men,
si of whom died either from wounds
cor sickness fli the French hospital
here during the war, so you ran have
some Idea of the work done in this
little village alone. I
Ills casket, wrapped In an Ameri
ca n Ilea, was reverently lowetecl by
Ms comrades o Its renting place, an 1
aTter the service beside the grave ,
one of the boys blew his hist taps bid- '
illiiK Mil IM'ilceful Sleep. There is
something most appealing in the.
notes of the bugle as they echo taps!
ot rthe hills, and It always brines to ,
me limit keenly thoughts or the peo
ple at home who would give so much
to have my place at I hi? side of the
grave.
Ills grave is inaiked by a cross
bearing his name an l military rank,
to which Is also affixed one of his
met ul miss. T o'her is always left,
n run nil ihe n c ! A v-v careful re
cord Is kept of all graves, so they
limy be located at any time.
I want to assure you ai'nin all pos
sible was done for your boy while be
was here in the hospital. The doctors !
and nurses ore most conscientious,
and take the deepest Interest In the
boys. They all feel responsible to the
folks at home, and are most careful
and attentive In each individual case.
He died for his country as surely
an If he had fallen on the field of bat
tle, and you may wel be proud of thfa
hero boy of yours. His country will
always honor him, and will love and
honor you good people for the sacri
fice you have made.
The hosphal Is known as Base 91.

France. I am going lo enclose a pos
tal card view to give you some Idea
of the buildings and grounds. There
are seven large buildings similar to
those shown.
From myself and the hospital
force who knew and loved your boy,
accept deepest sympathy nnd regret.
Most sincerely,

. TELEPHONE RATES
MUST BE HIGHER
INCREASED OPERATING EXPENSES REQUIRES MORE HONEY
Telephone expenses have gone up rapidly the last few years.
Telephone rates have not advanced in proportion to the cost or
furnishing the service.
. The cost of furnishing telephone service has advanced because of the
increase cost of material to the telephone company and the increase
living expenses of employees.
Everyone realizes the necessity of paying more for rent, for food, for
clothing, for wages and for transportation
The telephone industry has been affected by the same conditions
which have produced higher prices in all the necessities of life.
If this Company is to continue to furnish dependable tele
phone service to the public it must obtain such rates as will
produce a revenue sufficient to cover the cost of providing the
service.
