Peterson of 2102 Jefferson avenue has received a most intorest- ing letter from her son Fred Morri- son who is with the 1st Gas Regiment in France. Fred enlisted with the 30th Engineers December 10, 1917 and was in training at Fort Meyer, Ya., until 1 June, 191S. and has been in active ser vice in France since July of the pres ent year. He says: "Dearest Mother Just a few lines to let you know that I am still alive and well, and have not forgotten you. I have been looking for a letter from you every day, but it seems all in vain. I have, not had a letter for three months. I hope this finds you well and happy. "I just got back from the front where we have been doing some very heavy fighting. The Bodies fight good ten or twelve miles off but when it comes to hand to hand fighting tho Sammies are a thousand times better. I saw ono sadly wounded Sammio bringing in eight Bochc prisoners the morning I came down. "A few nights ago another soldier and I were sleeping under a tree when old Fritz started to shell that locality and we jumped up and ran for a dug out and just as we did he hit the tree and cut it off about a foot from th.1 ground. My bed is still under it. I also got gassed the same night but it was not serious, just a couple of little burns. Little things like that are common occurrences up at the front. I only'wlsh I were allowed to tell you more about it for I am sure it would be interesting reading, but I will have to wait until I return home which will be the day of my life. I do not think it .will he so very longfor'wo arc giv ing the Fritzes just about all he can stand and then some. How is every thing in OgdenJ I met Harry Phil lips, he is sure a nice fellow.

It is the only place they have, and besides it is home, and that is ev erything. "Well, dear, I must close, with love. "Your loving son, "FRED MORRISON. "1st Gas RgL Co. E A. P.

SecretaryNyicAdoo has prepared a survey of the government's financial situation as affected by the termina tion of hostilities. Most government departments, ho found, wcrfe not able to forecast what reductions might bo made in their previous estimates. This cannot be done satisfactorily, it was explained, until the government's pol icy of cancelling war contracts is de fined. The treasury now considers it un necessary, it is sa.ld, to raise $S,00"0, 000,000 by taxation on this year's -business, as provided by the revenue bill passed by the house. Since the sen ate has'reduced this amount to about $6,250,000,000 the treasury Is" inclined to believe that little change should be made in this total. Many minor revenue sources, such as stamp taxes, and special taxes on different business lines, which arc dif ficult to administration and yield comparatively little revenue, might be abolished without great reduction in the total tax burden. Whatever sum may be cut off as taxes, treasury officials pointed out, must be raised by Issue of bonds. Consequently, the amount which must be forthcoming next year will not bo affected. oo GERMAN CROWN PRIrVCENQT SHOT LONDON, Nov. 14.
