NEWARK BOY WHO SAW
ACTIVE SERVICE WRITES
HOME FROM GERMANY
Has Seen all of France and is
Now in Germany But
Longs for Home
Mrs. J. T. Rutledge has re
ceived the following letter
from her son, Olaude, who
saw service at the front in
France and is now with the
American forces in Germany.
Bodenback, Germany,
Jan. 22, 1919.
Dear Mamma.—I suppose
you will be some surprised to
hear from me, but just because
you haven’t heard from me
don’t think I haven’t thought
of you for you haven’t been
forgotten since the day I left
you April 26, 1918.
I suppose you know this war
is over, and no doubt you will
be surprised to learn I am in
Germany. Well mother I sure
have seen a great part of this
country.
When I landed, I landed in
England, and after staying
there for about seven weeks
we moved to France, and I
sure did see France, as we
traveled from one end of it to
the other. We wasn’t in any
regular outfit when we land
ed in France and they kept
moving us from one camp to
another. One trip we made in ;
France took us two days and :
two nights riding in box cars,
and when we got to our stop- j
ping place we were almost into
Spain, and then we made the 1
same trip back again, and so j
we kept moving around France
until we were put in a regular
outfit and then our troubles
started, as we went to the
front. I’ll do my best in trying
to explain my life in the bat
tlefields to you.
The Germans were sending
big shells over to us and the
only way we could protect our
selves was to get some place
in the ground. Just think of
me living in holes in the
ground. It sure was some hard
life. I’ve seen a great many
dead Germans and also a good
many Americans dead in the
field. I tell you, mother, when
I think of it, my life was in
danger a good many times.
Just think, we were eating on
the fields in rain, and in mud
over our shoes, so you see us
boys w’ere some happy when
we left the front. But now,
since we entered Germany, we
have good places to sleep, but
the eats aren’t the best, but
will do till I get home.
So far the Germans have
treated us fine and we are new
stopping in a small town. The
main thing to write and let you
know is that I am in the best of
health and hope when this let
ter reaches you it will find you
the same. Of course I am
longing to get back home but
it don’t look as if I would be
home till spring, as that is the
talk now.
I can’t think of much more
to write now as I am going to
turn in 'or the night. I wrote
quite a few letters but don’t
seem to get any answers from
them. I suppose it is because
I am moving so much and
changing my address so often,
they have hard work to locate
me. Will close hoping to hear
from you soon. Best wishes to
all my friends.
Your loving son,
Private |Claude Rutledge.

GOVERNOR
FAVORS PLAN
FOR ROADS
Will Include it in Call if He
Convokes Special Session
of Assembly
Little Rock, Mch. 17.—A
general road measure for the
entire state will be included
in the call for a special session
of the legislature, which is con
templated by Governor Brough
for July or August.
The Hester Bill, the only
measure providing for a com
prehensive system of State
highways died on the legisla
tive calendar in the House
leaving the State without a
general road bill. A measure
to take its place will perhaps
be provided for in the call, in
case it is made, Governor
Brough su'd.
n_
vjuveiiiur nrougri aiso inui
cated his opinion that the limi
tation to a 60-day session is
unwise, resulting in much
crowding of legislation, and
should be changed so as to put
legislators on a salary, and
held until necessary business is
transacted.
“A harder working body of
men never assembled in Ark
ansas,” Governor Brough said
of the Forty Second General
Assembly. “The House had
many night sessions, and com
mittees of each body worked
tirelessly night and day con
sidering measures for the bet
terment of the State, because
of the congested condition of
the calendar important reve
nue measures such as financ
ing the State penitentiary and
putting it on a cash basis, and
the question of caring for the
excess of approximately $700,
000 appropriated beyond tho
estimated biennial revenue of
$3,000,000, were hurriedly
considered and thrown in the
wastebasket.”
Because of the importance
of these measures ann the gov
ernor's ^pinion that the consti
tution framed by the constitu
tion makers of 1918 should be
resubmitted, it is likely that
the governor will call the legi.<A
lative body together in an ex
tra session some time, in July
or August to consider the ques
tions of providing adequate
revenue, financing the state
penitentiary without issuing
deficiency proclamations, re
submiting the constitution and
may include a general road
measure to cover the entire
Btate and curative local road
acts. This extra session, it is
estimated, will cost the state
$600 per day and will not ex
tend beyond a period of 10 or
15 days, the members serving
on one-half pay.

SHERIFF NAR
ROWLY ESCAP
ES BEING SHOT
Is Fired Upon as He Sits in
Railroad Coach- at Ken
sett Saturday
Searcy, March 17.—Sheriff
Tatum Plant of White county
had a narrow escape from as
sassination about dusk Satur
day night at Kensett. Sheriff
Plant was fired upon as he sat
in a railroad coach, by some
unknown person at the station.
The would-be assassin escaped.
Sheriff Plant and Deputy
Sheriff Leland George were on
their way to Newport on offi
cial business and while the
train was at Kensett a bullet
crashed through the window
where he was sitting. The
bullet missed his head only a
few inches, and probably
would have struck him had he
not turned his head just as the
gun was fired.
Bystanders told the officers
they had seen the man who
did the. shooting run away. It
was getting dark and they
were unable to give any des
cription of him. Sheriff Plant
has been active in the supres
sion o f bootlegging in this
county and it is believed that
his energy in this direction
caused the attempted assassin
ation.
