THE MODKlt.N HAItllAKIAXS. - - The soldier's luttor from Herbert A. McGlunis, who Is with the hos pital unit, tells something. This boy is from the La Urundu high school ami what he relates as to the barbarous conduct of the (lor ajun' sohliors may be set down as absolutely true. In the reference to the Irish girl who is nurse tlioro are many things In the way of Cruelty that can be gathered out; by Inference.

This Is not an ordinary affair und is worthy of inore than passing notice. It Is one grand . ball" of the year that should bo attended. II should bo attended whether the participants care anything about the mazy gyra- ions or whether they do not. It Is enough to know that tho affair Is for the benefit of the Red Cross. The work of tho Rod Cross women goes on and on, but there must be some funds to supplement the needles and the ceaseless labor of those engaged In silent devotion i when "every stitch Is a prayer." All tho German propogatcd stuff in regard to the Red Cross efforts be ing misapplied and other attempts at discrediting tho motives and dampening the efforts of the work ers has been proven over and over to be the rottenesl kind of "bunk." The dance this evening should be a shining success not because it la anu i wisn I could write one us good and long In return. It was a new Inspiration to me und am more willing than ever to "got tho kai sor" now. We all too hopo to soon arrive again In "God's country" but we will fight for her as long as she needs us. I have often compared our coun try's government with that of our enemy's and have always been thankful I belonged to the first mentioned. Hut the whole world must surely awaken to the fact and justice of what we are fighting for soon and then there shall be peace. Of course we are all very busy over here doing our little parts as they come, whether it is In training camps, In tir.nsportatlon Bystems, nt the front, or In the air. It was a befitlng illustruion when you said we will go over Germany liko a plague of grasshoppers. The fly ing machines can very readily sim ulate that part in the air. I would like to tell you about the place we are quartered but It Is a part of tho beautiful France, and If I ever do get tho opportunity to go to Switzerland I will expect to find that as beautiful, und I will try to go to the top of that beauti ful mountain you mentioned. Am studying a little French each evening. My Instructor Is a French soldier who speaks a little English which he has learned the last two months, besides he speaks German, so between us we make grand progress. Funny German should be lly Paul H. Splllman. The following statement has been Issued by tho United HtateB Em ployment .'lervlce of the Depart ment of Labor: "A new draft of about -80,000 men shortly will he culled to tho colors. The provost marshal gen eral has ordered that 'men actively assiduously and completely en gaged In the planting or cultiva tion of a crop but who are listed ill Class 1 of the drart and within the new quota should be deferred until the end of the new quota. ' Must .Make Affidavit. "The local draft boards, being judicial bodies, pannot defer the call of such men, however, unless the farmers employing them sup port their claims for such deferred classification with affidavits. It is therefore of vital Importance that farmers immediately execute and file such affidavits with the local boards. Immediate Action I'rged, "If farmers whose hands are af fected In this new call fall to follow this advice, they should have no cause for complaint if their men are taken from them at this crit ical time. It will be useless and unreasonable later to protest If they have done nothing to retain their help, Immediate action on the part of every furmer whose em ployees are affected is essential and should not be delayed under any ciraimstunces."
