Letters from Soldiers Written to the Home Folks From This Side and the Other Side of the Water.

From Edward Schutz. The following I- tt-r has t--'-n received by Mrs. Mary Soliutz, 152 Siato street. Hammond, from her son. E-'wari Sohutz. of the V. S. S. New Mexico: r. S. S. Xc-w M--xioo, July CI. 1918. Dear Mother: I received your rarr that you sent me the day I left Hampton Roads. While at Hampton Roads I h-lpod load a transport of colored sldirs for Franca. It sure was an awful j"b did not get any eep for 9 hours. I am row on the battleship New Mexico, the largest on afloat. It is in Xew Tork harbor ar.d it will make its trial trip about th t'.rst of rest month for six wfk!. then will come hark in

harbor, and I am told will get 15

days' furlough. Leo Smith is on the same ship, but not in the same section. I am to get off Tuesday from 5 o'clock !n the evening till 8 o'clock the next morning every other day while 1n harbor. I am going over to see Uncle Tom and Aunt Jennie. "We sure had soma exciting trips from Hampton Roads to Xew "Fork. We came by ship a Jamestown excursion ship. It had no guns on it and the first night out of Chesapeake Bay we were stopped by a submarine chaser and sent hack in harbor to await orders, as the cruiser San Diego was sunk by a submarine about fifty miles from where we were a few hours before. We then waited

till morning and wore told to go ahead. Wo went ahead all day till evening, when we met another submarine chaser

who told us a submarine was sighted jG

r.head and to put out all lights arid not to go out more than 15 miles from shore. We arrived here this morning O. K. I went to bed last night an never awoke up till this morning, so the sub did not bother me much. I saw quite a bunch of man-eating sharks in the water yesterday. This is a fine ship and I hope I can stay on It till the war is ever. I am sending you a picture In the paper of Bailors at the Great Lakes that I was In. I marked the spot about where I stood. You can call The Times and tell them that you received word from me and that Leo Smith and I were assigned to the V. S. S. Mexico. AVell, I will close as I have quite a few letters to write. Tell Rose and John and Mary and little John I will write them later as I will have more time on this ship than I had before, as I did not have a minute to myself before. Let then read this one. With love to all, ED.

Mountain Home depot at 11:40 (midnight) the first to greet our party was Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Reuss. president of the above company. We stayed for the night at the Mountain Home hotel and at 8:30 a. m. (the 19th) we started for the last lap of 37 miles of our journey over rough and ragged mountain roads. Their steepness did not seem to have any effect upon our powerful Oldsmobile as it climbed to an elevation of over 3.000 feet above the above city with ease (total elevation above sea level is 5.700 feet). Our rarty consisted of C. W. Dingman. secretary-treasurer of the Armour Grain Company; W. C. Reuss, of the Home Insurance building, Chicago: J. A. Crotty. of Geneva. 111.; Dean Edgar and the writer.

We arrived at the camp at 12:20 and

Chicago. After the inspection of mine No. 1 is completed Xos. 2 and 3 will be taken up, and it will take from six to Eeven days to accomplish this arduous task. The company will increase their working capacity in the near future by putting on three shifts. They will also offer the investing public an opportunity to become stockholders, as they propose to put on the market 50,000 shares to meet the cost of a new mill and concentrators at price much below the value of their assets. The party will go from here to the copper regions of Utah and Butte, and before returning home will visit Yellowstone Park. Yours truly.
