a letter, written to friends. He saysr
. -i .mrmm mm ariad to set your pictures
k m about, the first thlnas that
looked like civilisation that I have seen
for three months. Mostof the soenery
we la battle f lelda. ehell holes, dead
and prisoners, and' quite a large number
of the latter. We have been on four
fronts since landing-. Over three months
of continuous f Ishtlnar. with only 10 days'
rest, which! was spent In moving-from
one front to another. Have been In all
the bUt American drives and am in. in
other at present- In the first one we
were going- day and night keeping up
with the retreating- Huns. At times our
batter was ahead of the third line In-
fntr tranches.. We could ee the In
fantry going over the, top. ,
, la reriklBg's Fleked DItUIob ,
"We are In one of Pershing's picked
rilviatons. .We have had several casual
tia in the. battery, but lost none.-.Have
lost several horses. We have been under
m aaveraJ -times. .although no heavy
concentration, and under every kind of
ahell-flre from maebine guns to railroad
artillery and air bombs. Yesterday
morning about 4 SO Frits sent over 20
shells, but only two exploded. We saw
an alralane battle' this afternoon. One
' Hun . plane i and one allied plane fell
, Although we control the air here, they
.. sneak over and burn up a balloon occa
-sionally. - i
W haveChad eeveral meals of string
040 and potatoes, also our norses nave
feasted on the grain that Frits planted
''and . "expected to harvest. The, fruit
Isn't ripe yet. There Is not much in
tfc Is- pact -of 4 the country, anyway.-the
trees' having been cut down by heavy
shell'flrW.- The towns are. In terrible
condition. I'haven't seen a house that
was all together for a long time; The
best thing In France la the roads. They
have the best roads I have ever seen
good roads wherever you go.
Oeti Service Stripe
"At the front, as soon as a shell tears
a hole In the road, the German prison
ers are put to 'work filling It up. It
surprises them to see the number of
Americans , that are really over here.
They all seem to be glad to be prisoners
and out of the fight My mate Just
esme with; a tlg earn of p itches and
some hardtack and we had a feast. I
am writing this on amy bed, I am on a
sldehilU dug In a ways for protection
from the splinters. But It makes a good
place to sleep. It isn't half bad after
you get used to it Last night they
were bombing and shelling on all sldee
and I slept through It all so late that I
missed my breakfast, but I made it all
up at noon. We had steak, sweet corn,
bread, pickles and coffee. Generally
the food Is good here better than we
had behind the lines. We got our first
service stripe some time ago and are
among the vets' on the American front

TWO BROTHERS MEET

bugged and kissed each other and eriea
like babies. . The last letter 'I bad from
htm he was 100 miles away, and I won
dered If I ever would see him again. He
walked about six miles to find me' -
Charles, la describing the happy meet
ing, aald j Tha almost impossible has
happened. I have seen Arthur, and I
cannot tell you what happy meeting
It waa - W cried, like kids with Jon We
visited for about six hours, and-toe cer
tainly hartnad some interesting experi
ences, ' JT little rolled brass program
which J got at the Biacksione notei
dance the night 'before I left saved bis
life. A, bullet bit it and crumpled it
but did not penetrate It How glad he
Is that he happened to pick - It . up to
carry stamps and notes in! Another
narrow escape was when a ouilet nit
his helmet made a dent glanced off
and wounded a man next to.him.
T-n off the firing line and on the
march. It is surely a relief, because
we were' in one of the hottest sectors of
the whole front - We were under fire
from July SI to August 1. the night we
started - on our present - hike;. We are
now about 6(f xllometera from the front
"Those pretty French girls we : used
to talk about well, they are a myth.
Girls are scare and those I have seen
haven't made me a wild man -yet
writes Private Henry Hudson of Urapr
oua. who is attached to Company C,
143d Infantry. The French people treat
us very well, but they have some nngu
that I am afraid I will, never get. onto.
They have some fine stock here, but
their farm Implements and tools are
such as were used in the states 100
years : ago. Ail of their bouses and
fences are built of stone, even to. the
roofs. Wood is a very scarce article.
The trees do not grow very large and
they are kept for lumber, and only the
twigs are kept for fuel. They build
long farmhouses and the family lives
in one end and uses the other end
for a barn. Fifteen or -twenty farmers
will build their houses close together,
and that is the Way villages are built
up." ' ..

It will profit Oregon wheat growers to
seed larger areas with expectation of in
creased yield in 1919, due not only to
the government's guaranteed basic "price
but because of this year's wheat failure
in other countries.
This is the deduction made by Wil
liam A. MaoRae. president of the Bank
of California, Portland, from informa
tion which has reached him from the
federal food administration by way of
the federal reserve system.
There is no wheat in the Black. Sea
region, according to the Information re
ceived by Mr. MacRae. There have been
crop failures in Bulgaria. Roumania and
the Ukraine and this fact together with
the opening of the Dardanelles may
necessitate the Importation of wheat by
me auiea governments Into countries
whose population may thus need pro
tection irom starvation during the oom- i
ing winter.
Banks have been asked to communi
cate the facts to wheat growers in their
respective territories and to give all
possible encouragement to increased pro
duction. : Mr. MacRae has no doubt that
growers who follow the suggestion to
increase the yield for next year will be
glad they did so, both from a patriotic
and a pecuniary viewpoint
