UNCLE SAM LOOKING UP ALL WHEAT
WASHINGTON, Monday, May 12.—Argentine’s plea
of a wheat shortage prevents her from exporting her crop
to the allies. This is under investigation by the state de
partment and if the reports prove true that there is an
actual surplus, a way may be found to prevent further
American coal shipments to Argentine. ,
LITTLE TRICK BY HERR FRITZ
BUENOS AIRES, Monday, May 21.—The German
minister has asked the minister of agriculture to place at
his disposal 100,000 tons of wheat which is to be exported
at an opportune moment. It is believed, however, to be
an attempt to prevent the entente allies from utilizing the
grain.

REAL SPIRIT OF
FRANCE SHOWN IN
SOLDIER'S LETTER
MANISTEE, Mich.—(By mail.)
We Americans pride ourselves upon
our patriotism. Are we more patrio
tic than some of the soldiers in Euro
pean trenches?
A copy of a letter written by a
French sergeant as his last message
to his wife anti babies, and found on
his body after a Somme engagement,
has just been received in Manistee
from a fellow officer of the fallen
man. Censors have deleted the name
and address of the fallen hero.
The soldier wrote:
“My darling:
“I am writing this letter to you in
any event—for one never knows. If
it reaches you it will be that France
will have needed me unto the end.
You must not weep, for I swear to
you that I shall die happy if 1 need
to give my life to my country.
“My only care is the difficult situ
ation in which you will find your
self—you and the children. How
can you provide for yourself and the
babies? Happily you can count upon
your former profession of teaching
and the full assistance of all my peo
ple. How' I should like to feel sure
that some arrangement will be found.
“As to the education of the little
ones, I am not worried. You will
know how to direct it as well as I,
I hope that they can create for
themselves an independent position
as I had hoped to assure for them had
I lived. Kiss the dear little ones for
their father; tell them that he has
gone on a long, very long, journey
without ceasing to love them; to
think of them and to protect them
from afar. I should like to have
Cotte at least remember me.
“There will be the baby whom J
shall not have known. If it is a boy.
my wish is that he should be a doc
tor, unless after the war France
still has need of officers. You will
tell him when he is old enough to
understand, that his papa gave his
life for a great ideal—that of our
• country reconstructed and strong.
“I think I have written the most
necessary. Good-bye, my darling, my
love. Promise me not to bear a
grudge against France if she has :isk
ed my life. Promise me to console
papa ami mamma and to tell the lit
tle girls that their father, however
far he may be, will never cease to
watch over them and to love them.
“We shall find ourselves one day
reunited, l hope, ne«u* Him who guides
our lives and who has given me, near
you and through you, such happiness.
“Poor darling, 1 have not even tinu
to think long of our love, so great,
however, and so strong. Good-bye.
the long good-bye, true one. Be
strong. Y’our. JEAN.”
