We saw many German dead and some
Americans that they have now had

Just got back yesterday from a

several letters waiting for me, amoug
them were some from you. Krnest,
Marie and Ruby so will drop you a
few lines altho there is really noth
ing so very much to say. I bad a
good trip, stayed at Chatteau two
uites. The Germans pulled off an
air raid the last nlte. but very little
damage was done. Gee, I wish they
would send me up to that Reck of the
woods to stay for a fellow at least
realizes that be Is doing something
to help win tho war when he la up
there. Kveryone Is busy almost da
and nlte. and" yet you hear no one
kicking. Ail any one thinks of is
getting a few more "bosches." We
only stayed about 8 hours In Paris
this time and slept most or that time.
I wish they would get everyone of
those slackers in tbat country and a
lot that I know in Spokane. I can't
see what a young fellow is made of
who will stay at home now. I really
believe mother, that Dec. 1st will see
the close of this war. Most of the
French seem to think so too, now,
and two months ago, you couldn't
cnvlnce one that it would be over
within a year. Here's hopln'.
It has been raining most of the
day today. You asked how much I
weigh. I haven't been weighed for
some time but am lighter than I
was this spring.

(JencraJ Crowder saya to State.
County and Ixical Councils of Defeie-.
"1 want to have every Klug fliying
and every bund playing on Ileiclstrii-

tj)n Day."
President Wilson, by official pro
clamation, has set Thursday, Septem
ber 12, an Registration day.
On that day every man in the Unit
ed States and its possessions between
the ages of 18 and 45 years, inclus
ive, who has not already registered,
or who is not already In the military
or naval service, must register.
This includes citizens as well
aliens. There are no exceptions.
Registration will be held between
the hours of 7 o'clock a m and 9pm
on Registration Day.
Local draft boards will be in full
charge of registration. It Is the duty
of the local boards to name the place
for registration, and to give proper
publicity as to their locations.
However, faiTute on the part of any
man subject to registration to leara
bis proper registration place will be
no excuse for his failure to register.
Failure to register on Registration
Day is punishable by Imprisonment.
up to one year without option of a
flue.
Men who will be absent from home
on Thursday September 12, should
consult the nearest local board at.
once for instructions.
Wm. Farre has received instruc
lions from the State Council of De
fense thut it is the desire of the gov
ernment that the coming registration
day be given fitting recognition by
i very citizen of the United States.
The letter says in part:
"It is desired that this day, when
the manhood uf our Nation shall
consecrate its lite upon the altar of
humanity. Justice and freedom, shall
bn specially observed, and to thi.
oiid you are earneitly requested, on
the Sunday preceding till-3 date, lit
set aside and mark by spec. a! service'
'be duties, privileges, and obligations
resting upon each and every eltlaaa
of our land, affected either direi tiy
or ind'rectly by registration. Tl .
observance may be by sermon, song,
or prayer, but whatever the meant
or method, it should constitute an
appeal to the patriotism, loyally a. I
conscience of each and every citlzei.
of our Nation. There should be
plared before them a clear concept
of the causes which led up to thi.
struggle in behalf of humanity and
the mighty task which the Nation
now faces and the necessity of a uni
ted purpose in bringing this struggle
against cruelty and autocracy to a
victorious close.
The form of this service Is left to
your individual Judgement. Let it
be one of solemnity, and patrioic ob
servance. It is suggested tbat not
alone on 8unday, the date for this
service, but on registration day itself
bells may be rung, flags fly, and that
there shall be patriotic music by
voices and instruments wherever pos
sible." . ,
