Since heing here I have made this trip twice daily for the life there is a ureat deal like Paris and is very enticinjr. Bordeaux the second city of France has a population of ahout 300.000 and is full of history. The most striking and interesting thing I have seen so far is a collection of rcventy-five mummies in a cave un der the helfry tower of St. Micheals Cathedral. These bodies were bur ied in the church yard there over four hundred years ago, and after one hundred fifty years were ex humed and since them have been on : exhibition in this same place. AI tthouuh bodilv withered the skin in I most cases is intact and is a very , fine parchment. The ears and ton- fines of a few- of them are quite flex ible and the hair and nails are quite well preserved. In a great many : things the city and its people are j as far behind the timed as those j mummies. It has but two or three lines of street cars and these are ; mere tovs as compared with those I over there. The conductor or con , duetress uses a small tin horn as a warning in place of a gong or bell In the barber shops one sits down in a small straight back chair with a slightly raised wooden slab to rest your head on and after being lath ered regardless of eyes. mouth or ears with cold lather and shaved with a very dull razor you are told t get up and wash your own face in more cold water. After being again Heated he comes at you with a small atomizer spray and covers y-uir with n sort of liquid Lewis Lye and without drying, powders the face with a very dainty powder puff. Oac- is too often and they are all alike. The language is but a mere stutter and has got the Russian backed ofT the map. Vooly Voo. and sil voo phi arc common expressions bul their meaning is still very vague to me. and I think always will lie. It is really a pitiable sight to see the children which swarm the camp, earh with an old tin can and re questing all the soldiers to empty their leavings from the mess kits into them. A second slice of bread is obtained in aDOUi me same as boot leg whiskey there as it is a great offense. The cafes and hotels however, are supplied with abund ance OI ail KllldS OI IOOU auu uue can obtain a meal there for live francs or about one dollar that would cost $3.00 there. This in cludes a quart of wine which the French consider a necessity with his meal. There 'is not a wooden struc ture in the entire city, the buildings being of stone or cement and are very old. From the number of large trans ports of all nations seen in the har bor here one would judge that the submarines had a huge task ahead of them and when one considers the fact that not one American convoy- er has met with disaster, they are to be feared but little. Our American torpedo boat really welcomes the . . - i sight oi one auu are so arraugeu iu.il before one of them could maneuver into position to do damage it is sighted and immediately pounced up on. These boats having a speed of 35 to 40 knots .go straight to the submarine and without firing a shot drop a depth bomb which is set to explode in about fifteen seconds. This explosion is so great that any thing within 150 to 200 yards is totally destroyed. A periscope is sighted almost as soon as it appears. The crews on these subs know what these depth bombs are and when a transport is accompanied by an America torpedo boat they take no chances. Although we know now where we are going from here we are forbidden to let it be made pub lie. but if I am not mistaken in Comte's address we will be very close to the scenes of his childhood. We have at least a twenty-four hour ride hy rail irom here. lhere are so many interesting things I rtnild write about that are under the ban but am keeping a record of events and hope to be able to relate them to you personally soon The number of American troops in me service over nere. their location and the rapidity with which they are arriving is not for the public hut it would indeed be surprising to those who are criticizing the administra tion. The Hun hasn't a ch: nee in the world, but one would be foolish 10 even propuesy me time tor a successful allied termination of the war. 11TMI J - mm . . win give you an address that in all probability will rench me end would enjoy very much a letter from anyone.

The fate of true democracy everywhere depends upon its being won. Its object is to rid the world once Tor all of the threat of violence and injustice which must hang over it so long as there is any where an autocratic government which can disturb its peace or domi nate its fortunes. They have threat ened right fand liberty everywhere and must be brought to terms by such a victory as will leave no doubt in the minds of her rulers and her people as to what forces control mankind. We shall not abandon it until our objective is definitely at tained. 2. Keeause we mean to win the war. it is our purpose to support and sustain to the utmost the adminis tration of Woodrow Wilson. His ad ministration; can better be supported by those who believe in it and trust it than by those who are constantly eager to make a selfish use of what they conceive to be its mistakes. It is, therefore, our purpose to supply the administration in our nominees with men who are its real and un questionable friends. We are confirmed and streng thened in our supported of the ad ministration, and are in full har mony with it, not merely because we are at war and must stand behind the only common instrumentality through which we can win it, but al.vo because the administration has deserved our confidence by its rec ord. 4. Our purposes look also beyond the period of the war. We recog nize that the war must of nccessity be followed by a period of recon struction, to whose problems it will be necessary that the best, most sym pathetic and most liberal minds of SEE THE LITTLE RUNAWAY.

Their play this evening will be added to the feature of "Our First Quarrel." SETTLES LOSS CAUSED BY FIRE l'roiii Thursday s Daily. The State Mutual. Insurance com pany, in which Mr. Warren A. Tu lene has his property insured, and the barn of which was burned. promptly settled the loss, paying the full policy of insurace on the loss. The insurace was lour hundred dol lars, while the barn was valued at ahout twice the amount, and there was a loss of three tons of alfalfa, and a set of harness which was well worth one huudred dollars. While the company were prompt in settlin the loss it is but small compared with the damage which Mr. Tulene sustained. The matter of the settle ment was in a way promoted by the agent Mr. James Dvorak,, who has sold a large amount of insurance for that company. WENDALL HARTMAN HERE ON FURLOUGH From Thursday's Daily.
