Emery Hiatt, son of W. E. Hiatt
of this city lias written the following
interesting letter concerning th
great fight that our boys are now
putting up on the European battle
'clds: Dear Folks:
Will write you a few lines as I
am trying to write to all the folks.
I received mail today and again I
was disappointed as I didn't get any
.etters from you and haven't for a
long time.
Tiny is a pretty good place, we
have all kinds of sport watching the
air battles. Already today we have
:;ot seven of old Frlts's planes in
this immediate vicinity and had
ought to get three or Jour more be
fore night. This war will soon
break Fritz in trying to supply our
aviotors with machines to bring
down. The Americans are sure good
aviators and go after all of the
Bocfce machines.
Old Fritz dropped a few shells in
around us, wounding one of our men
and killing one Frenchman and a few
Amex, and one came close enough to
knock me over and I was rather
flighty for several hours. One of the
boys just said "Hiatt, you are going
to lose your horseshoe some day."
These few lines leave me well and
hope all at home are the same.
This is sure a great offensive and
some terrible hard fighting Is going
on now. This is a very Important
place and means a whole lot toward
the defeat of Germany, which Is not
far away now. Our division had to
be brought ln again to. start the
Germans and right now we are on
soil that the Allies haven't been on
for over three years.
Well, Dad, I sure wojht love to
be home to patUke of a ew mcro
home cookeJ m-als like ;-u asi
mother put up when we- lined to go
out from Portland. "
Will have to close and go un to
the gym with provisions as It Is al
most dark and we wait until dark as
Fritz can see us in the day time and
would shoot at us.

THE l'(K)l) QUESTION.
The coming of peace calls for the
most careful conservation of food
stuffs. Do not think that the food
supply will be increased at once.
Crops can not be raised in Europe
until next year, and thousands of
acres can not be put Into cultivation
for two or three years. Tho demands
upon America will be enormous. So
continue the Hoover program with
out any relaxation ot effort.
