Fiiop Monday's Daily.
Captain G. H. Gilmore has writ
ten the proprietor of this paper a
very interesting letter, which we
reproduce for the many friends of
that gentleman in this country:
Somewhere in France,
November 11, 1918.
Dear Friend Bob:
My promise to write you is an ob
ligation which must be fulfilled to
day. I have received but one letter
from the U. S. A. in two months,
which seems a long time. A copy
of the Journal would look mighty
good. I get hold of an American
j paper published in Paris occasion-
i aily, and get the war news in a
general way. Get a French paper
every morning and can make a fair
interpretation of the news, provid
ing I know what has happened.
Have made three moves since arriv
ing in France. Have been billeted
in horse barns with a pine board for
a mattress, with the stars to look
at when not rolling to keep warm.
We are now nicely quartered in
tents, mud ankle deep all about the
camp. Have taken care of the sick
for the past month, wearing hip
rubber boots.
On leaving the states our regi
ment was split; and I have had
command of the medical detach
ment, with all its paper work and
worry. Have three officers and a
fine line of men in our detachment.
One of the most interesting sights
to me at first was the German pris
oners. They have been brought in
such big quantities in the past
week, that we have lost interest in
them. They are well taken care of.
good quarters, plenty of good food
warm clothing, and a hospital for
them. They are treated as well as
our soldiers. I have had occasion
to make sick calls among them and
find them in good spirits.
The German prisoners are glad
that America is in the war, because
they claim now Germany will get a
square deal. The Allies are glad
because they would have been de
feated without America's help and
the American soldiers are very glad
to "deliver the goods." which Ger
manv mistook for bumcomb. So wc
are all glad.
In an emergency I volunteere.'
the services of our detachment to a
base hospital for a day. At there
hospitals some wonderful work is
being done, the best specialists from
America are working in these hos
pitals. These hospitals have stem
eat, clertric lights and are eiuip
fed equal to any hospital in Oma
ha.
The patients are brought in from
the field hospital in Red Cross trains
taking a very few hours.
The Red Cross, the Y. M. . A
and the K. C. are doing some wonil
etful work here in France. The
.American soldier will hold a wo -in
pla-;o in his heart for these organ
izations. One day when marching"
1 1 a new camp, we halted for a lest
at a K. C. hut. I was hungry to the
seventh degree, and the lunch serv
ed was a blessing showered upon us.
'i he rejoicing of the French peo
pie over the visit ory of the allies,
is equalled only by a football game
in America, on Thanksgiving day.
The French people realize the part
the American soldier has taken in
the war, and show their apprecia
tion in many ways. At one place
where we camped the graves. of the
American soldiers were decorated
with flowers. The flowers were
gathered and placed there by little
school children. There is a beauti
ful sentiment in this. On thj whole,
army life agrees with me. I have
gained in weight and feel fine.
When we return, nobody knows.
The song among the troops is
Where do we go from here." Give
my best regards to your father,
with best wishes and Merry Xmas.
Your friend,
CAPT.-G. H. GILMORE,

THE SECOND TIME
A BIG LAND DEAL
For the second time within the
past few weeks there was a big land
deal pulled off between the same
parties and the same property, when
a few days ago J. W. Edmunds re
purchased his farm from Alf Ganse
mer. This farm lying just east of
Murray was sold to Mr. Gansemer a
few weeks ago at what was consid
ered by all a good price, but evi
dently Mr. Edmunds did not figure
the land had reached its highest
value, although the consideration
was in the neighborhood of $50,000
or $250.00 per acre, and this week
he buys the land back again paying
therefor an advance of $2,100.
RETURNS FROM NORTHWEST.
From Tuesday's Daily.
Miss Caroline Lahoda who has
been in the northwest for some
time past visiting at the home of
her sister Mrs. Dewey Zuchweiler,
where there is the sweetest little
nephew, named Henry Dewey Zuch
weiler, that one ever saw. While
there they had a siege of the Flu.
Henry Zuchweiler, Mrs. Dewey
Zuchweiler and Miss Lahoda all hav
ing the malady at the same time.
They all have recovered from it and
are doing nicely at this time. Messrs.
Henry and Dewey Zuchweiler and
families are both well pleased with
the northwest, as they have done
nicely while there.
