Crowdor, at Washington, has written complimenting the press of the country on the manner in which the newspapers have risen to the principle of assisting in the workings of the selective draft. His signed statement is as follows: "It is with genuine pleasure that I take this opportunity to convey to the newspaper men of America my appreciation of the valuable assistance they have rendered this office in the administration of the selective service law. "I ftel that I am quite justified in saying that no statute ever enacted in this country has more thoroughly depended, for Its effective operation and enforcement, on public opinion. A public consciousness of the veryvital need for this law and a public faith in the machinery set up for its operation has made it possible for the government, with a minimum of delay, to enroll the names of approximately 23.000.000 individuals the entire manhood of the nation between the ages of IS and 43 on a roster of available man power. Practically every home in the nation has been affected, yet so strong has public opinion been In support of thi3 method of raising our army that we have been able to proceed with the utmost smoothness and lack of disorder. Truly, no more inspiring demonstration of the inherent power of popular government has ever been v itnessed. "In the development of public opinion in support of the selective service system, the newspapers and the newspaper men of the country have been rnainty responsible. The measure of their service in this direction has been the actual result obtained in the operation of that system. As to this I gladly and ungrudgingly testify. "E. H.

As none of the folks around here who have boys in the 313 Ammunition Train, which was the first Camp Purdue quota, have heard from them for some time, we print the following from Corporal Milton Take, formerly of Whiting but now of Valpo, dated September 9: My Dear Mother: I received another big bunch of letters yesterday and surely enjoyed them. We have been moving around so rapidly that I haven't stayed in one place long enough to get much mail. At present we are on active service at the front, hauling ammunition. For a while I was assigned to a truck as the driver, and most of our work is done at nights, driving without lights, but the roads are good, although hilly, and It is not so difficult after all. We made several midnight drives through shell-torn villages, which were sure ex-

Since then I have been taken oft the truck as a driver and am now a mechanic, so the only time that I am out is when a truck is stalled or wrecked. Several times we have been raided by German airoplanes. but no one was Injured and all day long we can eee the German and American airplanes duoling hiph up in the air and can hear the booming of the big guns all the time. At present we are staying in a typical old French village and aa usual our sleeping quarters are located In old barns and houses (mostly barns), but we don't mind a little thin like that. Sometimes I sleep In the trucks and sometimes along - the roudsid. but we always carry a couple of warm blankets with us all the time and any place we stop is our home. I will not know how to act when I can stick my feet under a real table and sleep in a renl bed, but in spite of the rough knocks I am receiving I seem to thrive and am feeling fine, and cannot help but think that we will all be home by spring. Harold Martin ar.d I are still together, but Claude- Beach. Ralph Wilson. Walter Jacobs and the rest of the bunch that went to the Purdue camp together are in some other company end we have not heard from them for several weeks. Harold is some gam kid and no matter how dangerous a trip we are sent out on he never complains one bit and his folks'1 can well be proud of him when he returns. Purdue was like a country club compared to service in France, but we are all getting along fine and it won't be ! long until we have everything cleaned up over here, an dthen the old U. S. A. for us. Now that I am working at my for- ' mer trade I am mighty glad that I am j in active service. 1 NO CLUE TO LIEUT.
