FROM NEWARK BOY
OVER IN FRANCE
Following are extracts from
a letter received by Mrs. D. L.
Gibson from her brother Clem
mons Sturdivant, who is now
in France with the American
expeditionary forces.
Dear Sister.—Received four
letters from you yesterday and
was sure glad to get them.
With we boys over here, mail
from home is first in importan
ce, and next in importance is
pay day.
I have been here now al
most two months. I like this
country better all the time. I
imagine it was a great coun
try in time of peace. And by
the way, peace is in sight. All
the people of all the world
have their eyes on President
Wilson, and as peace is being
talked we are driving the Huns
before oiir victorious armies.
The Yanks are doing their
part in the great drive, which
is not only a drive to whip the
Huns but a drive for liberty,
permanent peace, democracy
and civilization for all man
kind.
Had a letter from papa and
he said they were getting
along fine. I has been a long
time since I saw any of them—
about three years this month I
believe. When I get out of the
army I am going to visit them
and you too, and stay until 1
eat you all out of a home. 1
get'plenty to eat here but you
know it doesn’t taste like yours
or mother’s cooking.
Don’t know' where I will lo
cate when 1 get cut of the ar
my. Wish I could make the
money in New York that I can
make in the w'est. I like New
• York but it takes lots of money
to get into business there.
I am in a little city this af
ternoon just three miles from
camp, which is only a nice
walk for a soldier.
Have gained about 15 poun
ds since I have been here. We
have a nice little camp here.
We were in tents but have
moved into the barracks.
Write me often. With love
to all. Your brother,
R. C. STURDIVANT,

More Truth Than
Poetry
THE
WA R
MACHINE
lifitti
itlHfill
BY JAMES J. MONTAGUE
When Mr. Wilson's war machine was building on the
ways,
Republicans regarded it with words of stern dispraise.
“The joints are wobbly,” Penrose said. “The wheels
are square,” said Root.
“The trolley’s loose,” said M unary Crane. “She’ll
never run,” said Smoot.
“They ought to junk the thing,” said Hays, “and build
a brand new ear.”
“1 can’t approve of it,” said Lodge.
“It’s rotten!” cried T. R.
When Mr. Wilson's war machine went rushing down
the road,
The G. O. P. lads gathered round to see the thing
explode;
But when it kept along its course, amid the people’s
cheers, ^
They gathered monkey wrenches up and tossed them
in the gears.
“It’s slowing up a bit,” said Hughes, “it can’t go very
far.”
“I think” said Lodge, “Its going to be”
“A flivver!” cried T. R.
When Mr. Wilson’s war machine got working over
there,
And presently the kaiser raised a moan of wild des
pair,
The G. O. P. came swarming up like bees from out a
hive.
“I really think,” said Mr. Lodge, “they ought to let us
drive,”
“Because of us,” said Root and Smoot, “it runs with
out a .jar;
We taught him how to make it go.”
“I built it!” cried T. R.
.■an help you finish it. Think
I will be home in time to help
make the crop next spring.
The war news we get every
lay sounds mighty good, and
its getting better every day.
France is a very good coun
try but I like Arkansas better.
Write and tell me all the
news and be sure and write
with pen and ink.
I will close, hoping this will
find everybody well.
Yqur son,
WALTER L. BR1DGEMAN,
France, Oct. 12.
Dear Folks at Home.—These
few lines leave me feeling fine
and enjoying life and having
all the fun that is alloted tc
one soldier boy.
I am sending you a Christ
mas Package coupon, but dont
use it to send me anything for
I believe we will be home by
Christmas or very soon after.
I have not time to write
much so excuse my short let
ters and write me often. The
more leters we boys get from
home the better we feel, as
letters from home have a won
derful effect in keeping up the
spirit of our boys. Letters
lrom home cheer us up more
than you could imagine.
Your loving son,

■annr.
W;s::: ' ' ' .J&W&S
Educational classes at the Army Y. M. C. A. huts are proving popular
vitli ihe soldiers. Thousands of young men who left school to go into the
service are continuing their studies and classes while in the army. Many
educational institutions are arranging to give credit for the work done In
this way, so that students may not lose anything while serving their country,
and can resume their studies on their return, with credit toward degrees
and graduation for the class-room work in the army. The picture shows a
group of college men continuing their study of trigonometry at one of the
Y. M. C. A. schools. It will make them better artillerymen.
In addition to advanced classes, the Y. M. C. A. conducts classes for
illiterates and foreigners^ teaching them to read, write and speak the Eng
lish language. The War Department is giving the Army Y. M. C. A. hearty
cooperation In this work.
The “trig" class shown in the picture Is one of the many educational
classes conducted by the Y. M. 0. A. at Cfamp McArthur, Texas.

one time my kidneys were
