Family Hears From Henry Luers.

The family of Henry Luers received a letter from Mr. Luers Thursday morning which was written August 3. He was still at Vechta, Germany, and stated that he had three nephews and one brother-in-law in the German army, and that the conditions there were very sad, so many people mourning the death of relatives and loved ones in the battles or the departure of others for the seat of war. He said that he was going to try to reach home by Sept. 1, and if he is successful in getting out of the country he will probably arrive here next week.
