Cong don, of the Home Rest aurant, la In reclpt of another letter from Mi eon, Carl, who li with the 18th Engineers Railway Company in France. The letter Is a follows: France, June 6, 1918. "Cher Pere: "I have been writing to you rather regularly of late but I am Just mak ing up for the time when I was not so punctual besides one never knows when a move will take place, then let ters are few and far between. "I have nothing new and exciting to report The war is still going on and the end seems as far away as ever. I certainly would like to start for home, but eo long as it does not last mora than two or three years. It will not worry me any, but after that I believe I would begin to get a little home-sick, but even that would not do me any goon, because there is no remedy over here for lonesome boys. Ton should hear me "butcher French. I sound about Ilk a 'chink' I imagine. Any way I 'get by with It, besides I learn a word or two every day, bat I can understand most every thing. It sure is a hard lingo' to get onto. Don't believe I ever could learn to apeak it properly, as they turn every thing backwards for us, but saying that I dont learn It I think that I will con tinue to enjoy life Jast the same. "We are still having good weather just fine war weather. It looks at present as tho' the Germans were taking advantage, don't it, but I think nevertheless they are determined to put up a fight to the last Well the harder they fight the harder It will be for them to say enough, and we want to make things just as hard and dis agreeable for them as possible, so that they will change their leads about having war as a pastime, because I am sure that it Is no fun for some, and that they are ready to quit play ing. "The Americans have made a good showing in every battle they have been in. That sounds pretty good, doesn't it? Am sure that as time goes on they will gradually do even better, but it looks as tho' it will be neces sary to have millions instead of thous ands. I dont know where old Bin gets all his men but he sure does rake them up from some place or other, but what gets me is how he can stand to loose so many, but it seems that the more he looses the harder he fights, and as history shows, the harder he fights the more men he looses and I say "LET HIM FIGHT.' "Nevertheless it is a crime to see so many men killed even if they are Germans and do all they can to ruin the peace of the world. The fact still remains that they are human beings, but they love their kaiser and insist on doing it but I really do believe that they are over a barrel now. They bave gained a little ground in the last month, but that really means noth!ng. He has put all his strength into it and Learn to Dry Uncle The government publication shown here explains drying of fruits and vegetables a method of food conservation doubly Important this year. Drying is easy to do, calls for simple equipment and requires no sugar. Methods tested and proved good by Government specialists are explained in this bulletin, a copy of which belongs to every American housewife. FARM 4 MO ME DRYING f FRUITS VEGETABLES JOSEPH S.

Please send Farmers' Bulletin 984 to (Name) (City This space Is contributed by Morning Enterprise it is nothing more than natural that they should gain a little. Any time the allies care to win it back they cer tainly can do so, but as I understand It they rely on their artillery to do the work because the losses are very light that way, but the Germans come over In swarms and are mowed down like hay. "They are often sent over the top and are given orders to face the ma chine guns and just keep going. They are sent over in such numbers that they can't shoot them fast enough and they pile np around the guns so that It is necessary to move back to get solid ground to work on. You know they can never win that way. I believe the kaiser's Idea la to gain atl the ground h can just to satisfy the people, or in other words, make them believe they are winning the war. He realises that his neck wtll be stretched as soon as he loses, so he wants to keep It in place as long as possible. "There is nothing real Important that I can tell you. The facts are that the only real important thing I can think of Is the day when we start for home, and until then it will be the same just fight "I have not been moved up to the front and hardly expect to for a while, possibly never, bat I hear the big guM now and then. "I can't think of any more to say at present but will write to you again before long. Give my love to the 'gang and write often." CARL. NORTHWEST PAPER MILLS HAVE NOT T WASHINGTON, July 15.

Dlspatchs ar riving in Ixmdoo this evening say that at only one point did the Germans succeed In advancing today and then at enormous costs. The dispatches assert that at 11 o'clock this morning, after two un successful attempts, the Germans, on a front of sit miles, pushed Into the French lines to a depth of one and one-half mtlaa at Us deepest point, at Rhelma mountain. A semi-official report from Paris reads: , "While the enemy losses were frightful, ours was quite light, espe cially east of Jlhelms. Whereas dur ing the previous offensive we had to send for reinforcements from other parts of the front this time those on the spot sufficed to sustain the shock. "This Is partly due to tho constant arrival of Americans, which reduces the unequal proportion of the forces." HIE SI GROWERS IK TO HAVE DRAFT DELAYED WASHINGTON. Jul: 15.
