Clias. S. Miller, president of flic
Ballinger State Bank and Trust
Co., today received a lengthy let-
ter from his sister, Miss Rosa
Miller, who is in Montreux,
Switzerland. Mr. Aiiller of this
city l'ecently wired there in eare
of the nearest United States con-
sulate, at Geneva, relative- to her
welfare. He received the letter
Tuesday in reply, stating that she
was well at the time of the writ-
ing, but at tin* same time ringing
throughout her letter, ’the deplor-
able conditions of the country in
which she was remaining during
the terrible European War.
Miss Miller was m France at
the time Germany declared war
on that country, hut managed
get out of that republic and ar-
rived in Switzerland safely. Since
the war has been in progress she
has been making her home in the
the Swiss republic where she has
seen many sights that the ordin-
ary travelor does not have the op-
portunity of witnessing. Some
parts of her letter deplict the de-
plorable condition into which even
Switzerland has been thrown, al-
though that country is not di-
rectly involved in the gigantic
struggle of emperors and kings
and president.
Portions of the letter follow:
“I hope that, when you re-
ceive these lines, you will have
judged that probably you would
find me at the nearest American
consulate. You know 1 was at

Geneva, whence 1 hastened at

war) to Geneva. Since Geneva is

ing in their hearts. If they bad
