Keller Ald to British Captain, ( Continued from first page ) bandaged nearly all the time, They are just little outs here and there, and principally consist of little pieces of skin ploched away. I non't mind that in the least for it 1s nothing com- pared to the chances I take with the men at the end of the course, Every one says that he has more confidence in golng foto battle now than they did before taking the course and many of them will say that they think they would stand at least an equal chance with a German In a bayonet fight, When they eay that I tell them I must test them, so I tell them that I am going to put the point of a bayonet four inches from their bremst and if they are brave enough and good enough they should be able to defend themeslves with only their bare bands. They always backed down and were afraid to try it. Then is the time that I must face the men and prove to them that one must have confidence in bls ability to defend himsell, As an example I bare my chest and have anyone in the class come up to with- in six inches of me and defy him to slick his bayonet In me if he can. Bo far Ihave bsen able to ward off all blows made at me in that manner, but at the expense of several nasty cuts on my hands. That works wonders with the men and they lsave the course feeling that they are not going over- sons handicaped ae far as the use of the bayonet is concerned. I will sd- mit that this work requires lots of nerve to back it up and I would refrain from telling anyone but you, for not understanding all the facts other people would naturally say that I was trylog to camouflage them, To sum it up In a few words let me éay that the Infantry soldier relies mainly on fire action to disable the enemy, but be should know that per- sonal corn bat is often necessary to ob- lain success. Therefore he must be in- structed In the use of the rifl: and bay- onet in hand-to-hand encounters, The object of this instruction is to tesch the soldier how to make eflective use of the rifles and bayonet in personal combat ; to make him quick add pro- ficlent in bandling the rifle; to give bim an sccurate eye and a steady band ; and to give him confidence in the bayonet in offense and defense. When skill in the work we give them Is acquired, the rifle will still remain a most formidable wespon at close quarters should the baponet be lost or disabled. Before closing I want to tell you of Dy success as an Insurance agent, Beveral weeks ago I was appointed 10 talk Insurance to the men of my Com- pany and realizing that delay wae dangerous, for insurance mesns pre- pardoess, and prepardness means vie- tory, I put In all the spare time I bad, talking it over with the men snd met with great success.

F, 3823 Inf, in. sured, The amount to date, counting that of the men on detached service and those tranefered from the Come pany, ls $795,000.00, We have been having ideal weather bere of late and it reminds me of late spring weather you have up north. Yesterday was realy very warm and I bad to give the class frequent rests so a8 not to over work them. For the last ten days we have been working without coats and I can’t help but re mark to the men about the cold weather you are baviog at the same time, Yesterday I had a colored sol dier, olherwise known ss “Bhines , here in camp, working on the bayonet course and sometime during the fore. noon I noticed a number of blue birds fiylog over head. I ssked him what that was a sign of sud he answered by saying, “That's a eign that cold weather Is all done gone, The bugler has just blown * mess call” so I will close, hoping this finde you erjoying good health.

In order to borrow under the farm-loan act, it ls necessary for farm: ers to organizs cooperative mmtional farm-loan aesocistions in thelr local communities.

NEGLECTED OPPORTUNITY FOR PEACE The Committee on Public Informa- tion has received the following excerpt from a speech in the Gorman Reich- stag by Herr Ldebor, joint leader of the Independent Socialists: * Again has an opportunity been neglecled to satify the world’s longing for peace. It is plain that a step bac k- ward has been taken and that the po- litieal authorities have completely adopted the military views of the Conservatives. It is very disquiting for frienas of peace to hear the Char cellor say that we now have sa free hand in the west. Czorin's speech is a striking refutation of Hertling'e, for Czernlo accepts Wilson's proposals ms the basis of undemtanding whereas the Carcellor rejects them, We hope, nevertheless, that we shall soon have the negotistions, which Czernin’s sot - fon permits us to expect. We can not sgree in Czemnins aod Kueh i= mann's interpretation of the right of self-determination. We want general pesce on & democntle foundation. The pretended populsr manifesiations in the occupied territory were brought about under the influence of the Ger- man administration, The creation of the kingdom of Poland was a treme dous mistake. The German Goverm- ment must give up its false methods, and we shall soon bave peace in the east. The true opinions of nations can only be expressed by a referend ux after evacustion., The Fatherland Party wanted to replace Hertling with Prince Buelow, but that Is no longer necessary. Militarism bw won the day, and the proletariat most foroe peace on the basis of the reconciliation of all nations, Beversl additions have recently been made to the list of trains discontinued in Canadas, Hecrelay Lane has recommended = bill for the farther protection of men engaged in the present war who prior to entering the service had Initiated claims on public lands, Men who are capable of handling horse: are still wanted for the Veteri- nary Corps.

It Is the opinion of the United Btates Food Administration that the gross maximum profits for wholesalers In flour should not exceed from 50 to 760 per barrel, The profit to the retail desler in original mill packages should not exceed from 80 cents to $1.20 per barrel, depending upon the character of service performed.
