CONGRESS HAS BIG TASKS ON HAND THIS WEEK
Quick Action Expected on Man Power Bill in Senate Revenue Bill to Come Up. WASHINGTON, Ou C, Aug. 26 Knactment of the man-power bill extending army draft ages to 18 and 45 years; launching of the $8,000,000,000 war tax measure In the House, and probably definite action on national prohibition during the war are the big tasks before Congress this week. As passed Saturday by the House in virtually the form submitted by the administration, the draft bill will be transferred today to the Senate, reDorted bv the Senate Military Com
mittee with its "work or fight" and
other more minor amendments and
substituted In the Senate for thp measure which has been under debate there. Passage by the Senate Monday of Tuesday, quick agreement in conference and transmission to President Wilson before the week end Is the course planned for the bill. Ready For the House. The revenue bill is to be completed
Monday by the House Ways and Means Committee, formally introduced in the House Thursday and called up for Initial consideration on the following Monday. Its passage in the lower body by September 15 generally is expected. Prohibition will follow the draft bill and negotiations now are on between the "wet" and "dry" leaders of the Senate toward a compromise. As pending the bill proposes virtually "bone dry" prohibition for the country, beginning January 1 next, and efforts are being made to secure a respite of several months for the liquor traffic, which is important in connection with the Federal revenues and tho new war-tax bill. Sharp Contests Expected. Sharp contests were expected in the Senate Monday on the principal amendments to the man-power bill af-
recting youtns under 21, ana the work-or-fight proposal. Defeat of all amendments designed to raise the minimum of 18 or to defer service of those under 21 generally is predicted. The consensus of leaders' opinions, however, is that the work-or-fight amendment will be retained in the bill and sent to conference, where it will form the principal controversy with the House.

"This Certainly is a Great War" Writes Donald Clapp From France
Don Clapp, who has been in France since January, says this "certainly is a great war," In a letter written to his parents. Mr. and Mrs. G. L. Clapp, 226 South Eleventh street. "You can't begin to realize what it is, by reading all you can get hold of. You would have to see it, to be convinced of the great preparation the United States has gone to, for this war," he says. The letter follows: "Received sixteen letters this -week and five papers and magazines, but no spare time to read tem as yet. I certainly found use for my helmet. I wore it all the way over here. It was handy on the boat because the wind would blow my hat off. Lots of

PAUL KNOLL LISTED IN CASUALTIES Corp. Paul O. Knoll, listed in the casualties as "seriously wounded" was not wounded but gassed, according to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. William A. Knoll of this city. They received a telegram stating that he was gassed n fffv WAAlra turn onri o!npo then thev
have received two letters from him. J
Mo omcial word of nls being wounded has reached them. The last letter follows: "No doubt vou are worried about
me but I am all right," said the letter, "I have been on the front since the first of July and was gassed July 22, going to the base hospital the same day. But I am all right now, and getting along fine. You have read of the drive we started on July 18. I stayed in it until I was sent to the lspital. "I spent my birthday, July 21. chasing Germans. We hiked all day across ground that the Germans held In tho first nt tho rtriv nnrl rnmrht
up with them on the 22d, and started them on their way again. I hope they don't stop until we get through. The only way we will-ever get peace is to wipe the Germans off the map, and America can do that in time. "The prisoners we caught in this last drive said Germany was whipped and that the only reason they stayed at the front was that their officers stood over them with guns all the time. We caught some boys who were only 14 yearB old and I heard of one who was only 12. We hear that they have wonmen at the front operating machine guns." Knoll is in Company F, One Hundred and Third Infantry, A. E. F.
n.anrtro v Snvder. 319 West Main
street, now stationed at Camp Sheridan, has been made a mess sergeant. He is the son of John F. Snyder. Howard C. Reid, a New York lawyer, who lived in Middleboro, and who is now stationed at a naval aviation base near Boston, Mass., has written Miss Mary Vanzant of Middleboro a letter expressing his appreciation of a pair of socks, the yarn of which Miss Vanzant spun during the Civil war and knit recently for him. He spoke of them as his "go to meeting socks," and said he wore them to a church in Dn.tnn wMrh waa built a hundred
years ago. Miss Vanzant was Reid's Sunday school teacher when he was a little boy.
T.iovd A. Rust, a member
f o oii artiiiprv rnmoanv now in ac
tion on the French front picked up a
German gas mask and case togemer with a helmet on the Marne front near Chauteau-Thlerry on Aug. 2. He has sent this collection of war trophies home to his parents. Mr. and Mrs. E. W. Rust, of Southwest Second street. Rust was stationed at Ft. Harrison from April 1917 to October following service with the Indiana NatiAnoi fiimrds nn the Mexican border.
He has been on the firing line in
France for six months.
other fellows lost theirs overboard. I think the night we left for New York was the coldest one I ever saw. We stood from 10:00 to 2:30 o'clock before getting on the train and when we were on the ferry boat I was on guard outside in the wind. So the helmet came in handy. Our first supper on board was eaten out on deck and in about three minutes it was like eating blocks of ice cream so frozen. When we were out about a day it was much warmer, it remained that way for 10 days and I was on deck most of the time and did not need a coat. It was because we were In the Gulf Stream, but about
a day and a half before we made port
it gradually got colder and was down to freezing. We did not land In England as you thought. 1 We have a caDtain. lieutenant, cor-
poral, first class buck and a common ! buck private, that's me, in our camp. E . . . . . i . a
we aiso nave a uanu vi uui uu. c have two ladies and two men in our Y. M. C. A., and we also have a French canteen just across the street so we can get a very good meal when we wish a change. Our feed is getting better all the time. The Americans are thought a great deal of since they have shown themkpIvps ko good In actual battle. This

everything you can get hold or. xou would have to see it to be convinced
of the great perparation the United
State has gone to for tnis war. ii certainly has surprised me. I have heard it said that this comp is the largest one under canvas in France. You seem to think I am dissatisfied here. Well, I am just like every one would like to be back, but not what you call homesick. Am very well satisfied with the outfit I am in. If there was another war I would do just the same as I did in thi3 one, only would not wait so long, and Join a company that -went right to the front. I would have been in one now had it not been for my eyes. You
know I tried four times in Richmond but I will not get out of this company as they won't consider an ytransfers.
I guess General Pershing win be in
onmn todav and look over our camp
so I must doll up a little and get a sauint at him. I saw hi monce be

We have a few hundred German
prisoners in our place now, that do most of the heavier work, so we are having it easier. They are good workers; are some that our boys have
captured lately.

"The days here are barely warm enough to go without a coat, like the spring in Indiana, and the nights are cold and fine. While you are having 103 In the shade we are enjoying about 70 or 75, and maybe warmer at noon. The government owns about 43,000 acres of land here in Wisconsin. I dpn't know bow much is in military use. Camp Robinson is devoted, as I say, entirely to field artillery. "The organization of an artillery regiment is somewhat the same as infantry, in fact, it is sometimes spoken of as 'mounted infantry.' The main difference in in the squads. There are no 'squads' in artillery. A piece, rone eun) is made uo of sixteen men
under a sergeant. A battery, usually
made up of eight pieces, is under a captain, and is identical with a company of infantry. A major commands two batteries, as a battalion in the infantry. Six batteries usually form a reeiment of artillery and a colonel
is in command. A division contains three regiments' of field artillery, and the artillery (brigade) is under a brigadier general. As you know, the U. S. army is made up of divisions, each division having its quota of artillery, engineers, infantry, etc. These divisions are under a Major General. Maior fteneral Martin is in com
mand of the Blackhaw division, and
