BACK FROM "OVER THERE'
Corporal Leland M. Tonic waa In
the flrst ware that went "over the
top In the drive that started Sep-
traWr 12. In a letter recetved by
Mis McGaher, he reports that he
receives good food, and U glad to be
mhere he U.
The resourcefulness of the sol

development mhen thej- are allowed to

September IS, 11$.
Dear Miss McGahey:
TKr leiter came at a pleasant sur
prise last evening. AH the newa you
wrot concerning the U. of X. was new
tie. It seems that my frlnda at
tached to the university have desert
ed tie.
The last news that 1 received wa
concerning the graduation exercises.
Ivy day, etc. Since then I have heard
nothing. So, tndced your leUer was
very welcome, rot only because :t oon
tained the (r. form a lion I wanted, but
because it was from the university
ar.d the 1". of X. contains more than
memories for me.
I am In tio mood for writnig a pleas-1
ant letter. We are row in the reserve
lines but ndcr the German artiliervi
fire. A half hour ago a German shell
dropped in our midst. I am, as you
Vr.ow, rot allowed to mention carnal ,
ities.

Your cousin Jim, the ambulance
driver, has written to you abr.t his
work. I can fully appreciate what he;
Is doing. He ought to receive all the
credit in the world. i
We were in the first wave that went
"over the top" in the 3rive that start
ed September 12. I cow know what
war Is. I remember that I once toad
a little argument with Dr. Hyde about
Red Cross and V. M. C A. work. I
don't suppose she remembers me or
the Incident, but I humbly concede
that I waa all wrong.
From what I hart seen, the Salva
tion Army and K. of C should be put
on a par with the Y, M. C A. and close
to the lied Cross. This la true at
least close to the front.
We are now quartered or billeted,
or whatever It may b railed. In the
side of a hill. In little dugout which
we dug. Most of them hold two men
The comfort of the same depend en
tlrelr upon the Ingenuity and work of
the Individual soldier. The one that
another corporal and myself have Is
made entirely from German equip
ment, and material, and I quite a lot
better than sleeping ta mud and water
filled shell holes.
. Our food la quite good, our officers
reliable, and all In all I am glad I am
here and will be ready to come home
only when the war ts over.
I aaw John Duncan the other day
He Is quite as well at usual.
My kindest regards to the office.

NEW SUBMARINE HORRORS
COME WITH PEACE DRIVE
Since the German government hss
asked President Wilson to arrange for
which over 100 went down. The sink
ing of this ,h?p Aroused Indignation
in London almost as great as did the
shirking of the Lusitania.
"Brutes they mere and bruits they
remain," is the way in which Arthur
J. Balfour, English foreign secretary,
characterizes this latest atrocity.
"It is well to bear in mind that while
the Germans are putting forward
peace proposals they murder more
than 5f0 men, women, nd children,"
declared a high British naval author
ity. "This is conclusive evidence of
what the German protestatlona are
worth and of the fact that pseudo
civilian Germans art unable to control
the nary or the army,"
Americana In open boats were fired
on by a German submarine after It
had sunk the American" cart, J ship
Tlconderoga, according to an official
report given out by Secretary Daniels.
The submarine acted with extreme
barbarity, contrary to all rulea of
naval warfare, declares Chief Quar
termaster H. S. Tappley of the Ticon
deroga. More than 100 lives were lost
on this ship. Over 500 lives were lost
when the Japanese liner Hlrano Maru
was sunk by a German submarine,
"SHIP FOR ship; town
FOR TOWN' SAYS EDITOR
"Ship for ship, town for town, man
for man!"
"That must be the law," sayt the
London Dally Mail, "and th Hun
must be told plainly that thN Is our
fixed determination. Ship for ship,
every German submarine and every
German merchantman must be surren
dered as one of the conditions of
peace. Town for town, a German
town must make good each tYivnch or
Belgian town destroyed or Itself bej
expropriated and be svlted and held
as Belgian or French property. Man

suffers hunger a German off icer thouM !

Hack once suggested. Identical with jj

Germany; and If a British soldier is j
ill-treated or murdered, a German !j
should te shot. These are methods a
the Hun would understand." -1!
