TO PROSECUTE
ALL DESERTERS
FROM SERVICE
STATE FBOVOST MARSHAL AND
ERSON ATTENDS CONFERENCE
IN WASHINGTON; DRAFT
BOARDS THRU BY MAR. 1.
Lincoln, Neb.. Dec. 23. Desert
ers from the military service are to
be prosecuted,! Provost Marshal
Anderson cf Nebraska was told at
a conference of draft heads in 26
states with Provost Marshal Crowd
er and his assistants in Washington.
Thousands of men classified as
deserters actually served in the war,
,aud some gave their lives in France,
it was learned. It was explained
that this is due to the fact that
when questionnaires were sent to
men who had been enrolled for the
draft but who got into various
branches of the service before they
vere; called the documents were
thrown away by their relatives in
the supposition that nothing had to
be done with them. When the
questionnaire failed to come back
these men were listed a deserters.
It will require six weeks or two
months nure time for draft boards
throughout the country to complete
their records and finish up all of
their work, so that the boards can
be discharged, it is estimated by
Washington officials in the War de
partment. HENRY LAMPHEAR WRITES.

My Dear Mother and All:
Will drop you a few lines to et
you know I puiied through the war
alive. This letter leaves me feeling
pretty good, although I have been
pretty sick for the past two weeks.
I hope you are ail woIIjm home a.i.
we hear of so much sickness in the
Stales. We are at Laneville now
right across the Muise river from
St i nay one of the places yon prob
ably have read about but w e , are
leaving soon. We -are going to
Germany I rrness. I wish w:e were
going laek to the U. S. A. but no
such l;ick. We have had seme
pretty tough times over here and
had a few narrow escapes but out
side of that everything is great. We
were at Beaufort when the wrr
ended, came pretty near getting rne
there. Got somewhere around 41
there in one day. I, was just lucky,
that's all. There v ere several timer
when they made me think of all the
bad things I had ever done. I cun
think back now and if all seems
like a dream. We were under shell
fire about nine weeks, so I guess
I've Keen, and done my part in this
war. I can shake hands wjth my
self the rest of my life and say
lucky boy. WgII I look to be home
soon, probably iu January. I don't
think they will keep us over here
after peace is signed. I want to
get back to New York by New Years
Day if possible, for I want to start
the New Year right, right across
the states for 8o. D:k. Any place
in the states would be home com
pared to this forsaken" country over
iiere. Of course, we haven't fern
any country over here, but what
was pretty well shot up, but now I
guess we will get to see some real
country, if we go up into Germany.
If you have a big Xmas dinner,
think of me, but don't think that I
am not eating, for a cook always
eats. If you write to Eave, tell her
she can look for me any time. Tell
ber to" have about a dozen pumpkin
pies baked ahead and a loaf of
home-made bread and some goad
bntter would go good tco. Well I
suppose George and Roy will be
coming home soon, 'probably before
I do. There is not much more 1
can write, only leave the back door
unlocked for I might wander in
some cold night. I will have to
close with a good place to sleep and
plenty to cat. and plenty to wear. I
am etill a soldier of Unc'e ani.
