If the Lord is willing, when T get ' i back I will ha-ve lots of interesting things to tell you all. V The country is beautiful to a cer-! ' tain extent. The weather is cool i '' here we wear our wool suits all the ! ; i, time. About all they produce here is ; ? % * truck and an abundance of wheat. Tell "Dad" I wish he could see the j good roads over here every foot is ce mented. *< i Also tell him to have a new car when I get back for I don't intend to : work for a long time, ha. ha.

Tell Do la md Bernice I expect they will be keeping when I get beck (that is) if all of the boys haven't been drafted.

Well, I've just eat^n a real good din ner and taken in a l.igr washing I did yesterday, you all should see rne tvash Ing- and frxing up rny bed. There are about filteen of us in one house, and when we all get to talking about home and the good times we use to have, there is sometime." We are having plenty of real drills these days, drill from 7 A. M. until 5 P. M. so you see I dont have much time for play, tho. as long as I am well I don't mind it, and will do my part whole hearted hoping all the while to return with victory won. Am lookng to hear from home now every day, as I have received only a few letters, and I know there are more coming- some where, z And now write me often as it does me good to hear from home. May God bless you all is the prayer of your soldier boy, FRANK. MRS OI)OM RECEIVES LETTER FROM SOX Dear friends: I enlisted in the Navy on.April 11, 1917 just a few day? after the dear old United States declared ^ nr with Germany. For a few months all I knew or saw was calm waters and prettty weather, but soon a change carr-ie. Duty called me across the sr-a-, i was willing and ready to go. leave all that was ner and door to answer the call of duty, I am always ready and willing to serve my country, no matter where, or in what way. In the month of November 191-7 T left the dear old U. S. A. serving on hoard the U. S. S Florida for foreign waters. After a few days of bitter weather we reached foreign waters.I found quite a change, not only in the weather, but in the country and in j fact everything. We thee row of the ; U. S. S. Florida spent one of the bit- | terest winters ever known of and i even now the month of June is as cold ! ?s winter months in some parts of the I is?i fE LOVE . | S2NBS BACK ROME: States. f'Ut friends the Sitter cold i months of rain ice and snow did not ! discourage us. "We closed our eyes, 1 and let our memories wonder across j the sea to dear old U. S. A. There we | saw our dear Mothers, sisters, wives sweethearts and friends and then I heard Uncle Sam say, "It is not only i T, you are striving- day after day i through these bittter months, to win | this war for. but it is them that are ; depending- on you." Then we opened I our eyes, held high our heads, and j went forward with our duties. After I all our hardships and critical circum stances, you would be surprised to ! see and know how happy we are. we J so about our duties willingly cheer- j fully and are as happy as can be.Our . every thoughts are, when the war is ! over, the victory won, and we can fly ] the homeward bound pennant, back to dear U. S. A. again. Xow dear mothers, wives, and sweet hearts rest assured with continuing patience for your loved ones to return , home. Give us your prayers, and as- j sure yourselves that we will come | some day. Your boys are there, and j wide awake to their duty all the time, i and we will, with Gods help win this j war. I will be glad for a line from anyone ' to cheer me on the way. A friend to all, C. A. BATES, U. S. S. FLORIDA, on foreign Service New York i CAMP \YA DSWORTH. Dear Editor: I love to wbite a letter in the old Lexington Dispatch-News back at my j dear old home where I love so well. | I guess you don't have much news j from me but I will write a letter in the j Dispatch-Xews for T know my friends ! will be glad to bear from me. I was carried to the camp on July j 15 and T certainly did regret to leave j home, father and mother and 1 were 1 worried about going to the camp. I But I am in old Wadsworth at Spartanburg,' S. C. I certainly was sur- ( prised to know that camp life was as good as I have found it. T like camp j life very well but not like my dear old very well but not like my dear old home. Let me toll you hoys there is no , place like home sweet home. I was brought to the camp like j every other boy and 1 could not stay j at home. It was my duty to go. T j love all the boys and if you can get j along all right with the boys you will j enjoy Camp life every well. I surely i do have some fine time in camp. But" we have hard work in drilling ! 7 to 11 a. m. and from 1 to 5 p. m. j !But we have as good a Captain as J ever lived. He is so friendly and I think everybody can get along with him. I think we will have another payday . iabout the last of this month and I love t ' to hear the call of theb ugle one for ' j eats,' and one for payday. I love to J j hear those calls but no more. | We havp good tnngs 10 eai anu , plenty of them. I I am so sorry and my heart broken j ; to see the boys go over the water but j ' I hope it will not take long to win ; this war, and then we can come back home with joy and live in peace a- j gain. So come on boys and help get old Kaiser Bill and then the war will be over forever. I I wish I was home now I konw the j girls are gettiing lonesome for all the ' boys are gone to the camp but I hope ' : we all can come back beofre so long, ! j so girls dont forget me. ! I hope to see you all before so long i T love to get a letter from the girl ! ! back at my old home. Well I guess I j that is about all for this time, i Hope some one will answer my let ter soon.

Mr. Eken gren, Secretary Lansng tonight issued j this fomal statement: "I a in autnorizea nv tnep resiuem i to state that the following will he the j reply of this government to the Aus- | tro-Hungarian note proposing an un- j official conference of belligerents: "The government of the United !

Mr. Lansing's statement was given out within half an hour after he had \ received the Austrian proposal. It | would have been forthcoming almost j immediately upon the delivery of the 1 Austrian note had t not been found ! necessary in order to avoid the possi- J bility of grave error to make a careful ; comparison between the official text and that which was received in press i dispatches last night from Amsterdam j Thus emphasis was added to the j declination, if any were needed: the quickness of the reply, ndcating the ' ~T j"... 5r> : existence 01 no siictuuw ui m j the mind of the administraton as to i what it should be.

This consumed several ! hours and it was not until 6:20 o'clock I that Mr. Ekengren appeared. He ie'mainod with the secretary only two 1 minutes. WILSON HEARS PROTEST TODAY Washington, Sept. 16.?Protest a-[ gainst any steps being taken by the government looking to the fixing of cotton prices are to be made tomorrow j to President Wilson by committees ap pointed for the purpose by conferen- ! ces or Moutnern senutuis auu icjucotu tatives last'Saturday, other engage-' ments prevented the president from seeing them today. This action resulted from the state- i ment made public last week by President Wilson upholding a plan announced earlier by Chairman Baruch of the war industries board providing for appointment of a committee composed of three persons to investigate the cotton situation and to fix prices if necessary. Senators and representatives declare no authority under the lav/ gives government officials such power. Arrangements for the conference i with the president were made by Sen ator Smith of South Carolina, who is chairman of the senate committee, Senator kobinson of Arkansas, in a j conference with the president late today, called attention to the harm that will come from such action, and opposed any effort that is to be made to fixing the price for the present crop. To Confer Today. Washington, Sept. 16.?The president today advised Senator Smith of South Carolina, Smith of Georgia and other congressman from the South j thnt he would seee them. Tuesday af- j ternoon for a conference over the cot- j ton price fixng situation. Since the president last week let become known that he favored "stabilizing:" the price of cotton there seems to be i;tt:e doubt here now that this can be done. Southern cotton planters poured into I "Washington today asking their representatives to protest against this ac- ! tion. Tomorrow's coherence will probably determine the situation. P. H.
