Palmer from tl.eir son. Serin ant Jay Palmer of Cutlery C, :'lh artillery, C. A. C written at New York lefore he sailed for France: Camp Mills, l-ong Island, N. Y., Aug. Lith. l'.'lX. Dear Mother and fulka nt home: This ia tie last letter you will get from n.e in the V. S. The next one will probably be from France, al though there are serious rumors of ua going to Italy. Hope we go to France, but anything will do as long as we get out. All of ua arc feeling fine despite the hot weather. The Oregon boys arc marching with 00 poimd packa on their barks in weath er that is killing New Yorkers, and not a one haa been sick pretty tough bunch. There was a . woman in Wisconsin who said ns we came through: "Isn't it a shame thnt our Wisconsin boys have to associate with those rough Oregon lioys." One of the boys said, "Uml, Madam, we never saw a cow till we hit Wisconsin." That sound? like a atory but it's the absolute truth. Waa over to New York twice, took a sight-seeing auto and saw nil prin cipal parts of the city, the famous Chinatown nnd the place where Thaw- killed White. Spent moat of my time on Hroadway. It sure is wonderful. Took in "Ziegfields Follies," the cele brated musical comedy. Won't trv nnd explain aliout it now as 1 haven't enough paper. Was over to Conev Island Sunday night and srw some really wonderful sights, some things I'll never forget. There was lots of dances but we were all bnrred on ac count of our hobnailed trench shoes, and aoldiers can't have beer, so we merely looked on. We thought we were well outfitted before we left Stevens but have hnd dozens of things added to it, "tin hats" etc. Beauty has been sacrificed for efficiency nnd wo nro a hard-looking set. You enn hear ua coming for a mile with our iron-lined heels. We are all ns black aa Indians from thia pitiless sun, and we only have little overseas caps, juat liko skull caps. This is the last letter that won't be eens-ired, but I can't think of anything elae to write. Don't worry about me, for I'll get along all right ami I'm "OVER THE TOP" SAYS JU.

Because he had a picture of the Kaiser tattooed on his breast, Arthur Ran dolph Martin of Paden City, W. Va., is giing to undergo a serious and painful operation so that he will not be joshed nor his loyalty questioned by his fellow marines after enlist-, ment.

"I'm going to enlist in the marine corps in a few days," Martin told the recruiting sergeant, "but I'm going to the hoapital first and have the piece of skin that contains this thing re moved and new skin grafted in its place."

ADOPTS BUSINESS METHODS Practical Men in Charge of Big Movement in France Which Helps Boys By Clarence BudingUta K el land PARIS. Aug. By MaU. If you want a variety of things that ain't. what do you do ? If you have several thousand men on your hands who are asking for randy which doe not exist. for cookies and maccaroona and jam, and there isn't sugar or chocolate or flour or ovens to bake in, what's the answer? This is the situation in which Rov John, divisional secretary of the T. M. C. A., found himself. He had to take care of the American soldiers in a big district, so he took one long look about the country and got on the job. First, there was the everywhere present cry for candy. Sugar could not be had, chocolate could not be had. and John had no facilities, to manu facture. He discovered a candy fac tory that had been obliged to shut Jown. That was one point gained. He had the place to work but nothing to work with. Then he went to the army. "You want candy. Come across with sugar from the commissary. For every pound of sugar you furnish lie I'll return two pounds of the best candy." "You're on," said the army. So John got his sugar. But he had to have chocolate. There was a local .-hocolate manufacturer, but he could not sell to the Y. M. C. A. because all his product was taken by the author ities. This man, John discovered, had bought a machine to be used in his business. The machine weighed 600 pounds and it was a hundred miles away. The railroad would not deliver it. It was the war. Private freight of that weight could not be handled. The manufacturer had waited eight months for his machine. John went to him and said: "If you will manufacture for me 2,000 kilos of chocolate every four weeks, I'll get your doo-dad for you." "Oh, Monsieur, it ees eempossible," said the manufacturer. "You could not get me my machine." "Will you make me my chocolate?" "But yess. Monsieur if you deliver my machine." I That night John sent a motor truck and two men after the machinery and next noon it was set down at the door of the chocolate manufacturer' place of business. Since then the "Y has gotten all the chocolate it needs in that locality. Now the "Y" i turning out for American soldiers in that dis trict 600 pounds of first class choco late cream candy every week and the output is increasing. Cookies and maccaroons and cakes were wanted. John found idle baker ies. Again he went to the army. Let us have sugar and flour and we'll mnke vou sweet cakes. Caccaroons came firat because they require no flour only almonds and sugar. In a matter of days the Y. M. C. A. was able to furnish maccaroons at a figure two francs under the market price. Now they are making glazed fondant and cookies that make your mouth wa ter, and regular American biaculL Al. J ready they have turned out 8,000 kilos SPAIN TO TAKE Warning Sent by the Spanish Government to Germany; Break Is Probable INTERNED TONNAGE TO-BE SEIZED Status of Vessels Will Be De termined After Peace Is Declared MADRID, Aug. " a--V P. Th .-niniatery of th interior 'announced -hat Spain had n a 'to Germany declaring that Spain will temporarilv replace future submarine, sinking from interned German tonnage. The ministry dented rumor that . Germany had broken diplomatic rela .ion with Spain and stated that "th lecision ia but natural and an obliga tory defense of our essential interests. We cannot further risk prejudicing hit national dignity and life. W feel issured that Germany will neogniM that our decision 1 ia Una with our loyal neutrality. 'ire una I status oi in cosnmano .ered vessels will be settled when peace is declared.' saa if cakes, which translated into Amer ican means 16,000 pound, or eight ton. And all without material or .-esources, .or help from Paris. Jam waa wanted. Th district is rich in fruit. A jam factory shut town by th war was discovered and et to work. Tha "Y" bought th 'ruit and skirmished th sugar. Th nitial deal was for 12,000 thrse-franc pails of jam. This was underselling he local market by 60 cntims or ten tents. Another 25 eerutisoes was to as returned to th soldier when ha irought back th jam paiL In tw ireeks the 12,000 pails were sold to the Amex boys but not a pail was brought back. Every soldier you met had one fastened to his belt. The situation ha gotten to this point The colonel in charge of a cer Uain camp called up. "How about tandy? Hy men are yelling for jweeta!" "Two hundred pound on th truck for you this minute.' ' So the local enterprise of th Red Triangle ia recognized by th army of ficially. Men of a hospital train which make this town one in a while war coos plaining about their difficulty fat get ting cigarettes and chocolate - d supplies. " We're in plaea aa hoar then out. No chance to buy. Tnen we may be shunted off on an isolated sidetrack to stay for day until need ed. What can you do for us?" The major in charge of th train came to see about It. "We'll install a canteen on your train," said th "Y" man. "WU stock you up, and you pay for it as you see it Account to us when yon have a chance. Well be ready te re itock you at any time. Juat wire us when you'll be here and how long and what you need, and we'll have it on the spot" It worked beautifully. Now ever couple of week a wire come to th 'Y," "Be in town 40 minute. Arrive 4. Need this, that and th other." And always the stuff is ther for them. Incidentally the "Y" has provided a complete baseball outit to be used br the crew during those weary Interval when they are tied up on sidetracks. Again: Th tobacco supply gsv out. Train service wa tied np and no new stuff could be had. But th men must smoke. John went Into the French market and bought what th government would sell. It waa enough to keep th boy in smoking until their own supply of Amertcai tobacco was replenisitd. :i
