BOY WRITES.OF
LIFE IN PRANCE
Richard 0. Mori-loc k of Gold Hill,
of the 6'itli Hcf-'iiiii'iit of Artillery,
formerly of the .Seventh company of
Medforrl, writes an follows to his sis
ter, Mrs. Oris Crawford from "Some
where in France,"' April 28 :
"At last I tun here. We had quite
nn exciting trip across and I was
sink as the dace most of the way over
excepting the last few days. '.We
had beautiful weather -nil the way.
llavn't found my hatterj yet, ami
don't know just where they arc but
exect to join them wilbin a week or
Bo. Of course I'll not be able to fret
any mail here until I join them ami
that makes it kind of bad. trust
you people arc piltiiifr along alright.
It seems an iijje since I've heard from
you.
"There was a company of nctiroes
on board our boat ciaainir over. If
you know anything; about the charac
teristics of the black race which 1'
guess dad does you can ima.uine the
fun va had at those poor eoons' ex
pense. To bejfin with, they are very
Biiperstitioti s and feared the sea.
Afraid of the ocean and it fairly
made them sick to think of a subma
rine. I beard two of them talking
one evening on deck and one said
to the other "If the ship ever sinks
we are sure a goner, for no telling
what all is down there in the water,
just ready to swallow us." They had
church about three-fourths of the
time and the way they prayed was
really pitiful.
Kraneo n Beautiful IMnro
"Franco is a beautiful nlnru, what
I have seen of it. At least the coun
try is. Some people would admire
the cities and perhaps some would
not. Having a slight knowledge of
French history, the places to me are
picturesque and beautiful in their an
tiquity, but to mother, they would
probubly be abominable in their "in
iquity." One city larger than Frisco,
which we marched through, was near
ly all old buildings u snliil wall on
either side of the street about four
story structures and nearly all the
Fame in appearance. The streets arc
broad and paved with cobblestone.
You don't see the automobile and car
traffic of the American city, but you
hear the rumble of wagons as they
rre drawn over the rough pavements
by horses. The rumble recalled to my
mind what I bad read about the
wagon loads of prisoners during the
French revolution being hauled to the
Itustilc to the beheaded, and if you
ever read about the wine running in
the street and the people down in the
street drinking it up, (in "A Tale of
Two Cities," I'll tell you it is running
still.
"But I have left the best for the
last, you should see the farms and the
country, it is simply beautiful and
yon would feel as 1 did that you
would love to live there. Everything
fresh and green and clean as u
freshly blouunomed flower. Kvery
house looks so peaceful and ouiet and
all surrounded with beautiful trees
quite a contrast to the city. What I
have already seen, there is absolutely
no dead brush around, the land looks
rich and fertile, and I saw a kid out
plowing an'', instead of a span of
''orses he bad nn old ox hitched l
his plow. Two farms were the same
thing, so I infer that here they use
oxen more than they do horses.
"When we come down Ifie street,
the trench are all out on the street
to cheer us. They talk to us and we
talk to them and neither know what
the other is talking about. It is verv
irtcresting. This gosh darned jab
bering is driving me crazy, so if this
letter sounds as though my thought:
were hardly rational, you can gucsj
the cause.
"Our cam" is continually besieged
with peddlers. Men, women, girls and
, kids ot all sizes and kinds. All have
something to sell and each one a
highway robber. Everything costs a
franc (iillc) from a few Utile pieces
of candy to n couple of tiny oranges
"This morning I made a bargain
with a French woman to do my wash
ing. I said bargain though I don'l
knew what kind of a bargain it is 'til
1 come to pay her. You should hav
heard us. I knew what she wanted-
fo I got my -dirty clothes and gavi
them to her, but if you think I coub
find nut when I would get them bai l,
or how much it would cost von
must guess again. I onb- wish
hud studied French in school inste
of German.
Ifut I am writing ton much. 1 inn
enjoying it here very 11111M1 am
don't be anxious about mv safctv. It
will be a long time before I'll be
danger and probably never. I hope
my writing a lot will encourage vou
to do the same. Tell me cvcrvtliin
you are doing or going to do and ev
rything about everybody in Gold Mil!
Love to all."
WASHINGTON'. June 17 Support
for provost Marshal General Crow-
der's proposal to extend tho army
(lraCt to men between IS and 15 years
was given today by Senator Chamber
lain of Oregon, chairman of the sen
ate military committee on bearings
on the $12,000,000,000 army appro
priation bill.
Unanimous approval of the house
provision authorizing the president to
call all men of druft age who can be
trained and equipped, was voted by
the military sub-committee consider
ing the appropriation bill.
1 have always advocated having it
apply to men o those ages,'' said Sen
ator Chamberlain, "and think wo will
yet come to It. There aro lots ot
men over thirty who really are doing
nothing and ought to bo reached."

PA II IS. June 17. Aiaazias fails
concerning the unprecellenteil out
break of erimo amouk elviliaas in
Germany are Biadually eomiim to
light despite the efforts of the liun
authorities to suppress them.
1 tual tarts of the lawless wave from
tns German press itself, as revealed
in aopies just made available.
That Juvenile crime in a typical
industrial district of Germany has
increased 000 per cent during the
war. that tho number ot thefts in
lierlin aro averaKiiis! lino a day, and
that many cities at tiiaht aro terror
ized by armed bands ot robbers, aro
amonK tho facts shown by German
newspapers.
This orny of violence and pillage is
i all the moro startliii'; because of the
i ti'Miai lull nmcii tiiu viut m.iiin ji.i i
claimed, boforo tho war, of beini; a
law-aliidiUK peoiile. it seems that tho
precedent set by tho Prussians in
their assault upon llolKiuin anil
France lias been used as a model by
tho civilian populace, and tltat tho
large-scale reii;n of vandalism, bru
tality and rohhery iiiaui'urated hy
tho Hun army In compiem) territory
! i.s now being followed on a smaller
scala by tho women and children in
Germany itself.
Prisoners Till .lulls
According to the Deutscho Tages
zeitnnB" of April lfi, litis, it was
declared at llcrliu in 41 report by
Prosecutor 'I'lasclike to tho associa
tion for the betterment of prisoners
that tho jails which were practically
empty in 1014 are now crammed Willi
prisoners, uud that women and ciiil
men under IS rorm the greater pro
portion of all persons convicted of
crime.
Tho "llhelnisch-Wostfaelisclio .el
tung" of April 22 says:
"Among the consequences of this
long war, whichi, If thoy are easily
accounted tor are nono tho less pro
foundly deplorable, may bo cited the
great increaso of child crime. In a
conference recently held at 1 latum,
statistics on this subject woro given
which reveal a really frightful state
of ari'airs.
"From these documents It appears
that the number of convictions oi
young people mado by the lower
court in the judicial district, ot Arns
heig was So for the first quarter of
10111, and bad readied L'OS In the
third quarter of 1917. In the district
of ltlclefeld, tho number leaped In
tlie name period from 177 to 507. In
the district of Uoehum the figures
were respectively GS5 and 20011.
Increases M1 Per Cent.
Tho figures are all tho more
alarming it tho wholo period of tlie
war is taken into consideration, la
tho district of tho superior court of
a in m tlie number of convictions of
young people was in 1!)I4, 4227; in
1!I.-,, etill; In llil.O, 12,(i:)7; and for
1017, 2."i,000. Juvenile crime has
thus increased (!U0 por cent in four
years of war! ''
The nature of tho (rimes reflects
... ,uitiLiuiin tu iiuni-ry nun 100111
sliorlago In tho central empires. Hoys
and girls, often organized In bands, irs:
plunder clothing stores, steal fuori!:
from shops uad private homes, bold
up passers-by at night, and oflen
start a small reign of terror In ihe'
quarters where they operate. The
police are potverlci'3 because so many
of them liave been called to the colors.
LOAN A BIG ONE
In preparing for the fourth Lib
erty '"J" campaign, which will proh
iddy he annoiiueed for some time in
Cetober, a eonterenee of Libel I v loan

of that city's participation in the

Dear Sirs:
I am p!er.jed to send you a few words of
what N.ijol has done for me.
It has given me new life, strength, hope
and comfort. It possesses a wonderfully soothing ef
fect upon tlie bov.vls, without any of the hot, burning,
weakening sensauons that usually result from the use
of pills or other purgatives.
Go on, and preach the propaganda of
Nujol. It is all it is claimed to be by its makers, and
if more people knew of its efficacy there would be
less sickness and suffering in the world.
Respectfully,
Tice, Arizona
