A LETTER FROM JOE K0UBEK.
San Francisco, Cal.
June 23, 1918.
Mr. Anton H. Koubek,
Dear Brother: I received the
.
Plattsmouth Journal O. K. an was
ture glad to receive it.
Well I guess that it is a good
thing that I joined as I see that I
would of have had to went nnyhow
snd I sure would rather be in the
navy than in the army. I see in
vour last letter that you are figur
ing on joiinng the navy. It isn't a
bod idea to join if you like to wear
white suits and wash them every
day and another thing they sure
give .you a lot of clothes when you
orrive into camp. But you have got
to pay for part of them yours-.lf.
The bill is eighty-one dollars and
forty-eight cents and the government
stands sixty dollars and you stand
the rest. But don't come this way, I
unless you like cold weather as the
nights here are sure cold. We sleep
in tents and it is sure cold in them
especially in the morning when we
i?et up a3 we all are almost frozen,
talk about a person's teeth chatter
ing, they sure do here.
I thought that when they sent me J
out here that we were going into a I
warm climate, but it seems Just like I
going to the north pole. I
Well I guess I will have to close j
Tor this time as it is bed time. Give I
my kindest regards to everyDoay 1
know. From your brother,
JOSEPH JOHN KOUBEK.

A LETTER FROM FRANK MILLER.
Camp Funston, Kansas,
Dear Mother:-
The boys had the time of their
into Tails City we were starting to I
eat dinner and as they were eating. I
a new bunch of fellows took our I
eats, and we had to stand up. They I
looked like pretty husky, so we didn't I
bother them but I. didn't want to I
have trouble so let it pass over some I
cf the boys in other bunches tried
to tell me something of army life,
Just leave it to me, I will get by if
there is any -show at all. Ha Ha.
The Red Cross served us at T peka, I
Kansas, with lunch and good hot I
coffee and I will sure tell the world I companied by his uncle Louis Swo
it sure braced the boys up and a fel- I boda, who went with the little fel
low wouldn't hardly believe it was I
the same outfit that rolled into town. I
I kindly forget to tell you about the I
Joke on the bunch as they got into I
Kansas City. They expected to get I
a drink, but they held us over there I
and wouldn't allow no one to go to I
town and there was a sore bunch,
Vat it didn't take them long to get
ever it. Ha, Ha. The boys are fine
and dandy and there are sare a
husky lot when this bunch starts
out, the Kaiser will say who thought
that bunch .would come over here.
Ha, Ha, Ha. We all got into camp
at about 10:30 in the night and the
best part of it the sergeant met us at
Ihe station and we walked Just about
two or three blocks and beds and
blankets all ready, but the bes part
of it, we had our cold shower bath
some or us, due laugp, 1 thought
would die. Bill Brinkman says, gee
this is sure life, but he wouldn't get
into the cold water. The funniest
part was I heard revielle first and as
I jumped out I woke the whole crowd
and it was about a quarter of six
and then we all washed up and went
up and had breakfast and it
was
just like being at old Camp Cody
Deming, N. M., again, but i. will
never look like the old camp to me
as they're all wooden barracks and
wr. are right up in the second story
from where I set there is hills. The
camD is hemmed in by a row of
hills or rather encircled by a chain
of hills rather, that ?s like it,
think. I think the cabin on the hill
ig General Wood's home. It is some
place. I may try to get in as a
stenographer. I don't know yat. Ha
Ha. There are about four thousand
new rookies in here like myself that
ame in the last two days. The old
41 infantry is down here, but they
are rather blue, because they can't
pet on over and do there bU.
think they are all determined in the
camp now. Ha. Ha. This is fine
down here, compared to Camp Cody
I haven't saw much sand to mount to
anything, but I hope it is a? good
as this so far, but I haven't saw it
all yet.
It would tickle the bunch of citi
zens trom home if they could step
in and see how well satisfied the
beys are here, especially Bill Brink-
man, he is sitting over there, talk
ing and laughing, but he don't want
to talk about Platt9mouth thi' mor
ning. I think he has made rp his
mind to stick around, maybe he can
get on steady and I hope he can. Tell
Mrs. Cotner I haven't had a chance
to pick any gooseberries, as I spoke
of at the statipn. I feel more at
home here than when I was an en
listed man. The boys are more Jol-
jpllier, the people, do all they can for
yau and I will never forget the good
time we had - the night before we
went away. The Fort Riley bunch
from Plattsmouth were disappointed
when the rest of them got off at
Camp Funston and if any of them
write, I sure, want to keep track of
some of the '.PUUtsmouth boys and
if they leave I would like to keep In
touch with them. They have a lot
Df negroes stationed here and they
are driving teams and one thing
and the other, but they are stationed
by themselves, so it is so much the
better. The interurban runs right
past the barracks and into Manhat
tan. Everybody got the habit this
.norning, they are writing home. The
captain said that about in four days
they would assign us to a company,
hut at the present time we haven't
no outfit yet,. so all we have to do is
Just stick around and do the best
we can. I think I will write as
much as I can this time as I have
plenty of time with no end of a real
jolly good time. There is Ewerett
Ward sitting over there with smiles
all over his face, he is using all of
paper the Y. M. C. A. has, so don't
be alarmed if there isn't no news in
this letter. Here it is about chow
time. I am as hungry as a bear,
but I suppose I can stand a little
while longer and then some. Tell
everybody around there that I know
hello and that this is the life I
hope Libershal sends some mo'e. I
am glad to see them all come, there
is always room for another good man.
W ell I will bring this to a close.
hoping and trusting tfcla reaches you
in the near future, I remain.
Your son,
FRANK A. J. MILLER.

as Possible.
Washington. 1). C, July 5 The
oit resolution authorizing the pres
ident to take over and operate, until
ho end of the war, all telegraph,
elephone, cable and radio systems in
the United States, was passed to
night by the house.
It now goes to the senate, but in

ney and McLaughlin of Michigan,
Sterling of Illinois and Woods of
Iowa, all republicans. -
By a viva voce vote, the house
adepted the rule providing for im
mediate consideration of the resolu
tion and limiting debate to two
hours.
President Wilson wrote Senator
Martin, majority leader of the sen
ate, late today, that if practicable he
would like to have the resolution en-
acted'as soon as possible, but d!d not
nsist that congress abandon it plan
for a recess in order to pars it.
Plans for adjournment from late
tomorrow night till Augut 12, it is
understood will be put through to
morrow in both houses unless the
president insists on passage of the
telegraph resolution by the senate.
Representative Pou, presenting the
rule, said: "I imagine all th:s has
become necessary on account of the
proposed strike."
FARMERS TAKE NOTICE.
Home Guard Company A of
Iattsmouth, has organized a force
of forty men to assist the farmers for
shocking their grp.in.
These men. or any number of them
needed, will 'be available on any
evening from 6:30 to 9 o clock.
Transportation also will be furnish
ed from Plattsmouth.
The plan is for any farmer to
notify C. A. Rawls, the captain of
the Company, of the amount ot
grain he will have cut and ready
for shocking. on any evening, giving
notice by phone the evening he will
be ready, and a sufficient number' of
men will be sent to his farm to put
the entire amount of his grain in
the shick that evening. With each
squad there;will be seme one, who
understands shocking grain; the
farmers also may be present, and give
such direction as he may desire
These men are cheerfully volun
teering this service, and the farmers
need not hesitate to give the call. A
prompt response will follow. '
Be sure and give the amount of
grain to be shocked on a given even
ing, so that it may be known just
how many men to send.
Similar arrangements wil! be
made to assist in the threshing, but
of course not so many men, because
most of them are working in the
shops, or have business of their
own, where they could not well get
away for the entire day, which would
be necessary in threshing, but there
will be a given number, perhaps
eight or ten, who will be available
for that service. C. A. RAWLS.

Peoria, 111., July 6. The number
of persons lost by the slnkin .; ot the
steamer Columbia is pWM ' y the
chief of police of Pekin at 17:". A
message from him says h s estimate
is based on information gi'hercd
to rescue work and the number vf
passengers aboard.
Peoria, 111., July 5. Thirteen
persons are believed 10 hae been
drowned when the excursian st'imer
Columbia overturned in th Illirio'r
river five miles south of heie to
night. All available nurses and p'i v "cians
have been summoned f rot" Pekin,
111., near the scepne of the a'Mdent,
and from this city.
The boat jammed aain-t the Pe
oria side of the river in a fkg an:' a
huge hole was torn in the bow. It
sank almost immediately.
Miss Pauline Bineuel, of Pekin,
who was abroad the boat i 'd the
following story of the disat'."r:
"The steamer had three le -l:s. I
was on the upper one On iiat be
low dancing was going on. 1'e bot
tom deck was occupied pri:iipally
by men who were talking av fmok
ing. "I do not believe many of the per
sons on the first two decks who cop
ctituted by far the larger portion of
the crowd could have escaped.
"I was chatting with friends. We
felt the boat rise out of the r;ver. It
was clouded with fog."
Many May Be Lost

At 1:20 a. m. about 75 had been
rescued from the steamer, which in
turning over went away from the

boats available were so few that res
cue work was proceeding very slow
