asked for increased service rates.

Brassil Likes France.
Sergeant Leo Brassil, who is cook
ing for an artillery training school
in France, speaks of the large num
ber of Americans who are now "over
there" in a letter he has written to
his brother, John Brassil, 514 Ex
change street. It's going to take a
lot of them to win the war, he says,
for the French soldiers have gone
to the front and none are left
Here is his letter:
"Wen, John, I am not with that
F. G. company any more. I am now
cooking at an artillery training
school, and it is a fine place. It is
about 300 miles from where" I was
before and not far from the great
mountains that the people from the
United States come over here to see
every summer.
Having Good Time.
"I am surely having a good time,
for I am not far from a big city,
which I visited Sunday. But it costs
one a lot though yon can ride on
the trains a distance of thirty-five
miles for 20 cents. The country
over here Is fine and there is a lot
to see.
"I consider I am luckier than lots
of the fellows, for many have to go
right to the front and in this way
haven't a chance to see much.
"There's a lot I would like to tell
you, but I can't put it in this letter.
This war is hell, but you people will
never know how had it is until It Is
over.
Take Lots More.
"Many of our soldiers are here,
and it is going to take lots of them,
for the French soldiers have gone to
the front and none are left
"I have been here nearly four
months and haven't received a let
ter from anyone. What is the mat
ter Please write and tell me all
the news. Ten everybody around
home to write to me."
Stack Writes Again.
Private "Tommy" Stack, in France,
under date of June 16, writes to Wil
liam Montgomery, deputy sheriff of
Lee county.
"Well, Bill, It is getting real warm
for the Huns sinee the Yankees got
warmed up and 'No Man's Land' is
sure some good hunting grounds. But
I shall be glad when the hunting days
are over and I shall see the Statue of
Liberty again."
Private Stack Is seeing service with
the 168th regiment.
Seeing the Big Show.
Corporal Clyde C. Bnffum. former
Keokuk boy who Is now seeing mili
tary service In France, says in a let
ter to George Sanford of the Keokuk
Electric company, who also enters
the national army tonight:
"Since writing you last have moved
a couple of times and am now up
where the big show Is going on.
"Am only about fifty miles from
Paris now and hope some day to be
able to make that city a visit.
"Bursting shrapnel and the boom
of the big guns does not bother me
any now, am always more concerned
when a gas attack is sent over.
"Most of our work now is done at
night so we do our sleeping and rest
ing during the day unless something
Important comes up. All this country
where we are and for miles around
has been abandoned, the towns, vil
lages and farm houses all deserted
except for the soldiers that may be
quartered In them.
"We have a hard time now,In get
ting tobacco and a little candy and ev
en paper enough to write a letter on,
no "Y" around here though they try
to get to all the troops once or twice
a week in trucks but their stock nev
er lasts long. Am quartered at pres
ent with three other fellows in what
was formerly an implement shed,
sleep on a pile of straw on the
ground, am getting so used to sleep
ing In such places that I dont believe
I could rest good in a regular bed un
less there was a couple of rocks un
der me.
"Have witnessed quite a number of
thrilling air fights, seen a couple of
observation balloons shot down and a
number of other equally Interesting
things.
"So far haven't met anyone from
Keokuk, though rah onto your friend,
Matllcks of Kahoka. Where is Van
Hayden located?
"Tell Mrs. Perkins that I was very
glad to get her letter and hope to
answer it as soon as I make the
raise of some more paper. She told
me that Swenholt was married and it
sure surprised me. I am off of him
now for life, as It means an end to
our happy times together. That has
Always been my luck when I had a
good side kicker all broke in he spoil
ed the parade by getting married.
"Would have liked to have seen
Ham when he was there.
"Do you expect to be called soon?
The Sammys are sure over here to
droves, the more the merrier and the
sooner the finish.
"Well, give my best regards to
your folks and Mrs. P. and all the
gang around the Keokuk Electric. Am
always glad to hear from Keoktfk and
wish I was situated so I could write
oftener."

in the Union. This time It will be
based upon his first-hand observations
and experiences In the actual theater
of war.

WARSAW, III., July 22.—Saturday
night the crowd was as large as the

was there and the best of good feel
ing and good order prevailed, just
like one great, happy family no
jostling, no impatienoe, but a kindly,
tolerant feeling for "the other fellow"
and his rights. The sight Is worth

ONE SONG RAISES $100,000.
Pictorial Review It was during the
third bond drive that John McCormack
was giving a concert in Buffalo. Ia
the hotel where be was stopping lived
a very rich gentleman, blind and a
hopeless invalid. He had always long
ed to hear the great tenor. His se»
retary had read that McCormack had
offered to sing a song for anyone who
bought a |5,000 bond at some rally.
"I'd give a good deal more than that
to hear him sing." said the invalid.
'Td give *100,000." At noontime the
secretary of the invalid met Mr. Mo
Oormack in the lotoby of the hotel, and
told him the incident, just by way
of a bit of flattery. But Mr. McCormack
was for America first and flattery
could go galley west He found out that
the Invalid could be moved about in
a rolling chair. "Bring him down to
,the ballroom where I have space for
my voice and Til sing any song he
selects. Uncle Sam needs that money."
The invalid was brought, down and
asked for "God Be With Our Boys To
night." And in less time than it takes to
tell it, the McCormack voice was
rounding up $109,000 for Uncle Sam,
