1 have seen a great deal of Europe
and am very anxious to get back
home, as now the war is over.
We have walked from central
France to Germany, which is very lit-

These people are about 40 years be-
hind the U S. This town which we
are stationed at now has a church six
hundred years old. All of the towns

that I will not write about and will
wait to tell you when I get back,
which I expect will be about the tim$ i

It is v$Xf quiet ill Germany and food

everything is high. I bought a can-
dle tonight and it cost me one mark 60
Pfennings, which is about 30c or
more. Shoes cost 300 to 400 marks,
$100.00—that is common shoes you
would not wear. Butter cost 35 marks
a pound, $7.00
I have written you several times, but
do not know’ w hether you got my let-
ters or not. I haven’t heard from you
or no one else since I have been over
here and have not received a pay day.
All the money I have had is what I
brought over with me. This is one

Austin, Tex. jan. 26.—The residence
formerly owned and occupied by
Colonel E. M. House, a member of the
American peace commission, now in
Paris, which was sold last March to L.
Lancaster of Corpus Christi, has been
sold by Mr. Lancaster to W. A. Que-

which was property in Georgetown.
This is one of the finest residences
in Austin and is famous as beautiful
specimen of architecture. It was
Paris.—The conference has unani-
mously adopted tbe league of nation*
project. President Wilson and Col.
‘House are the American members of
the commission thereon. V
The peace conference opened in
the La Salle De U Pmlx of the for-
eign office with tbe same imposing
sitting as tbe first session, but with
little ceremony and the manifest
purpose of business.
| M. C-emencesu was again in tbe
chair, with President Wileon and the
full American delegation at hla right,
and Premier Lloyd George and tbe
British delegation at his left.
President Wilson addressed the
peace conference In part as follows
“Mr. Chairman: I consider It a
distinguished privilege to be permit-
ted to open the discussion In this
conference on tbe league of nations.
We have assembled for two purposes
—to make the present settlements
which have been rendered necessary
by this war and also to secure tbe
•peace of the world. We'are bidden
kby these people to see to It that this
-strain does not come upon them
again. It Is s solemmn obligation on
lour port, therefore, to make arrange
sente that justice shall be rendered
.and peace maintained. This is the
ceatral object of our meeting Set-
tlements may be temporary but the
action of the nations ip the interest
{of peace and justice must be peraia
nent. We can set up permanent
processes We may not be able to
set up a permanent decision.
"In coming into this war the Unit-
ed States • never for a moment
thought that she wss intervening in
jthe politics of Europe or the politics
of Asia: or the politics of any part
of the world. Her thought was that
all the world had become conscious
that there was a sing-.e cause of
justice and of liberty for men of ev-
ery kind and place.
"Therefore the. United State*
should fee! that this part in this
war should be played In vafn if there
ensued upon it abortive Epropean
^.settlements. It would feel that i*
cou.d not take par; in guaranteeing
these European settlements unios)
that guarantee involved the continu-
ous peace of the world by tbe asso-
ciated nations of tbe world.

A Letter From a Sailor
S. Comfort, Dec. 26, 1918.
ASKS FOR $750,000,000
DIRECTOR GfkEfiAL MINES SAYS
*19*4100.000 OF THIS IS LOSS
Y6 GOVERNMENT.
Washington—The railroad admin
iatratioR needs 17M.OOO.OOO more tor
its revolving fund to supplement tip
$500,000,000 originally provided and
now practically exhausted. In pre-
paring this estimate for congress i;l
rector General Hines explained that
$190,000,000 of this sum represents
loss to tbe government. Incurred in
operations last year, and tbe remain
der represents advances to ralirroui
companies to be repaid eventually
with interest.
Congress will be asked immediate-
ly to appropriate this amount, which,
Mr Hines declared, would be neces
smry retardless of whether the rail-
roads were returned to private man-
agement within a few months oi re-
tained longer.
Tbe director' general estimated tha;
$3«*,1S3.<K*0 would be required tois
year to finance capital enterprises,
such a* improvements and purchase
of cars and locoa olives. This figure
al«o includes *12 840,000 for contem-
plated expenditure* on inland wat-
erways and lid,ftf*0.000 to finance a
reorganisation of the Boston A Maine.

My Dear Mother:—Just a few lines
to let you know I am Wrell and happy
and had a fnerry Christmas out at sea
Of course, it was a new kind of
Christmas celebration for most of us.
Nevertheless, we had Christmas on
board the U. S. S. Comfort.
Our Red Cross was Santa Clause.
Everything being conducted by the
Chaplain. A program was rendered
by the Ships Co., which was enjoyed
by all. After the program, gifts
were distributed to every one. A bag
containing presents from the Red
Cross and a box from some lady or
girl in different parts of states were
the presents received by the Com-
fort's crew out at sea.
I was thinking of home all day, for
I knew the folks at home were •wan-
ing for me and I certainly do hope
that another Christmas will find me
at home and in school. I am simply
wild to get back in school.
We have had fine weather up to-
date, and are making good speed com-
pared with our present trip, which
was one of seventeen days back,

It is a good thing that married
couples do not live to be 150 years
old. If they did, a man’s tongue
would have rusted out and a woman's
tongue would have worn out .
It is hard to make a 40-year-old
woman believe that she can’t make
herself look like she is 20 by claim-
ing that she is 30.

“My husband got a bottle of
Tanlac for me and I started tak-
ing it and began to improve. I
have taken eight bottles, have
gained twenty-two pounds and

Country ham, onions—just any-
thing and am just feeling fine.**
I just want everybody to know
what Tanlac has done for me.”
