Richard-
We in a there every
rarely mention politics, and then nonpartisan way, but wo feel is a great responsibility upon voter this fall when he comes
to vote for congressman. First, we should vote only for loyal congressmen, no matter to what party they belong. Men should forget they are Democrats or Republicans, Jmt ask whether the candidate for congresss has supported, or would, if elected, support the war and uphold the hands of the administrating Everything else being equal, we would prefer the man already in the office if he has proven himself. He will have had the expedience, and the very fact that he has voted right in the past gives us confidence as to his actions in the future. Iltu aside from this theie is another phase that is worthy of serious consideration. It is so well put by the Washington Post that we will quote from it: "There will not be any great change in the Ohio delegation in the next congress, in my opinion," said John F. Giddings, of Canton, at Washington. "I have been a life long Republican but I expect to cast my vote this year for a Democrat for Congress. I believe that if the Republicans should succeed in carrying the House this election the news will be flashed abroad that the president, the commander-in-chief oi our army and navy, had been repudiated by the American people. This would hearten the German official class and the German army, the war would as a result be continued six months or a year longer than it would otherwise and our boys in France would be kept from returning that much longer. There is no argument to this, and while I am for the war and the decisive defeat of autocracy, I also want our boys back home as soon as possible. Hence I shall sustain our commander-in-chief by voting for a Democrat for Congress this fail my first vote of the kind." We are fighting the propaganda of Germany here at home, so why give them the best kind of propaganda material to spread broadcast over Germany by seemingly repudiating the President and his war administration. That is a serious thing in the election of congressman. It is far more important to win the war than to elect any particular man to congress, yet a mistake in this election might help to delay the speedy victory.

them. At that, I had about three days under pretty heavy shell fire, but was lucky. We have been staying the biggest part of the time where we were likely to have been bombed at any time by hostile airplanes or long range guns, but weren't bothered. But several flew over. We always aim to hide when they do come. Ha! Ha! I've sure seen some pretty and interesting fights in the air, for we were not far from the front. We were holding possession of support when we were up, if you know where that is. We wert taken to a side hill and told to dig in and about the time my pal and 1 had our hole about one foot deep the shells started flying over our heads and some fell not far from us, we were scared for a few minutes, then we got tickletl and laughed and joked the rest of the time. Most of them were gas shells and we were kept busy for some time putting our gas masks on and taking them off. Between times you may know we kept very busy digging our way towards China, Ha! Ha! Some of tho fellows that said they wouldn't use a pick and shovel will sure do so if they get on the front, I say. The fellows of this Company went through one of the hardest bombardments that has ever happened and, of course, we were posted on what to tlo when we got on the front, so it was not like knowing nothing about it. We are about seventy miles or more from the front now and will be fok a while I guess. I have been over lots of ground, where' the Germans had been a few days before. You can see the nice dugouts which they had stayed in for some time. And where heavy bombardment had cut down woods ' antl rooted the ground up by big shells, also small towns the American artillery bombarded to rtiase them out. It looks as if lots of cyclones had been visiting here. Well, I have said enough for this time, I guess. We have meetings led by the Y. M. C. A., and also get chocolate, cigaretts, tobacco and cakes from thrm. They are entertaining us with a picture show this evning, they have a sheet tacked on the side of a house. The other night there was a French lady who sang some songs to us and a Y. man played a guitar, some were French songs and others were American, it was a very enjoyable entertainment. It looks as if it might frost to-night for the first time. Well, I must get to bed. I am in the best of health and getting along fine and hope to continue. With love and best wishes to all, Your brother, "BUDDY." P. S. Answer soon. Tell Mother, I received her letter answering the one I'wrole on the ship coming over. Private Sindley F. Sizelove, Co.

PRESIDENT WILSON. Washington, D. C. President Wil-jlrol of instrumentalities of their own
sou has appealed to the country for a vote of . confidence in his leadership "botk p.t home and abroad" by returning the Democratic Congress. In a statement addressed to "My countrymen" he said that the Republican leaders have unquestionably been pro-war, but anti-administration, and sai4. election of a Republican majority to. either house of Congress would 'certainly be interpreted on the other side of the water as a repudiation of my leadership." The text of the president's comiBuuication Is as follows: President's Communication. "Fellow countrymen The congres. slonal elections are at hand. They occur In the most critical period our country has ever faced or is likely to face In our time. If you have approved of my leadership ar.d wish ni to continue to be your unembarrassed spokesman in affairs at home and abroad, I earnestly beg that you will express yourselves unmistakably to that effect by returning a Democratic majority to both the Senate and the House of Representatives. Accept Judgment Without Csvil. "I am your servant and will accept your Judgment without cavil, but my power to administer the great trust assigned by the constitution would be impaired should your judgment be reverse, as many critical issues depend upon your verdict. "I have no thought of suggesting that any political party is paramount In matters of patriotism. I fcl too keenly the sacrifices which have been made in this war by all our citi.ens. irrespective of party affiliations, to harbor such an ideal. I mean only that the difficulties and delicacies of wir present task are of a sort that makes it imperatively necessary that the nation should give .its undhided support to the government under a unified leadership and that a Republican Congress would divide he leadership.

present Congress have unquestionably been pro-war, but they hav been ant i administration. At almost every turn, since we entered the war, they have sought to take the choice of policy and the conduct of the war nut of my bunds and put it under the cm-

"The return of a Republican majority to either house of Congress would moreover, certainly le interpreted on the other side of the water as repudiation of my leadership.
