LETTERS FROM SOLDIERBOYS

Bxccrpta from I,otter of Kd C BoothDated May 2nd.

Your letter of March 20th reachedmo ten days ago and one you wrote

on your birthday, just arrived anhour since.

Got part of a package from you \u25a0

week ago; it was broken open and all

that remained was a half-pound box

of chocolates and a few little cakes.I see that the U, 8. Postal authori-ties are refilling to accept any moreparcels, except under certain condi-tions, so don't bother about sending

any more. I can tret alone easilywithout candy and cake, but will ap-preciate the tobacco. Received twopapers of tobacco from you yester-day, which, judging from the appear-

ance of the package had been on theway for a long time.

Suppose you can't help worryingwhile all the big scrapping tfoc.-: on,

and I know my letters should bemore frequent, but it's an actualhardship for mo to write at all underexisting conditions, so don't feel anyanxiety merely because you don'thear from me often. For the lastthree weeks we have been playingthe game of hare and hounds —withthe Germans acting the latter rote.

Of course, they are paying for it atan awful rate and we ought to be

satisfied. Our old stamping groundaround (censored) has been thescene of some of the most violentstruggles of the war quite recently.We were mixed up in it the first dayor two and then were ordered backand are now quartered farther to therear of the line than ever before.

The sight of droves of civilian refu-gees beating it to safety was oneI'll never forget. Of all ages, fromsuckling babes to 90-year-olds, theydeserted the only homes they hadeevr known, only when the enemyshells came in a regular chorus ofdestruction. Many left their house-hold goods and livestock, taking onlya bundle of clothes and food.

After a day or two of rest, wewent up to a point between****and******and put in a week; when Itgrot too hot and we trekked for sevenhours with full pack and fightingequipment to our present camp. Thiswas by all means the longest andhardest march we've had since com-in gto France. We were in theruins of*****afew times and it iscertainly some tangle of wreckage.Four years ago, it was the home of100,000 people; now it's a huge blotof battered stone arid brick, theabode of a few homeless cats andmillions of rats. Still the Germansmake it a target for a daily showerof shells.

You folks are lucky with your fineweather; with us, it is just the op-posite. We have't had more thanfour or five sunny days for a month;nothing but mud everywhere.

I always like the local news in theEcho; can't say, though that I careto have my letters publnshed in It,as I'm not in a position to write forpublication. Must close now. Loveto all of you.

—Ed.P. S. Have skimmed over Russell's

so-called Seventh Edition. It is cer-tainly a libel on Russell to call it hiswork; posthumous or otherwise. Isee where its publication was forbid-den in Great Britain and Canada. Itsideas were taken advantage of bythe conscientious objectors and otherpro-Corman idiots.

Julian I. Mayar, who is now in

the officers' training camp on theUniversity campus, Seattle, writes:

"Our program dons'nt give US

much time for letor writing. Thisis the first letter I have writtenthis week. Will give you an Ideaas to how we spend the day. Rollout in the morning at 5:30; answerroll call at 6:00. Then go back toour tents, make up the beds, puteverything away in shipshape order.And another thing, we - scrub ' thefloors of the tents every morning.By the time we have the tentstraightened out it is 7:00 and timefor breakfast. At 7:45 we line upand march out for inspection. Afterwhich comes a couple of hours ofinfantry drill. At 10 o'clock we goto school and wrestle with problemsin trigonometry.

At 12:30 wehave dinner and at

1:30 we are at it again. The after-noons are usually spent out on thefield getting knowledge of ordin-ance and gunnery. Also boat drillsand how to handle small boats.Then we must learn all about a shipand ist construction. We must alsoalso learn three kinds of signaling.There will be more on the programas time goes on, but as yet I havenot learned what it will be.

The course covers a period of fourmonths at the end of which tlmrthose passing satisfactory examina-

tions will be commisioned as "en-signs," which ranks with a lieuten-ant in the army. Am going upagainst the keenest kind of competi-tion. Men just out of college and ofcourse they have the best chancr.

Still, it will be good schooling, any-

how.We are getting only one liberty a

week, Saturday afternoon and Sun-

day, and I am glad of it as we havea beter chance to study."

Writing from Now York Cityunder date <>f June I. CharleJ Hath-

B way says:

Just got back from across the

pond. Took a convoy of 27 whips

over. We only saw one sub on theway over, but she was afraid and.submerged. When sighted she was

out of range of our guns so we

didn't get to shoot at her. Theytried to get us awful hard butcouldn't make it. You see wo Eg-zag so much that they can't locateus and if they do we lose them byzigzagging again. Two or three dif-

ferent times there was as many assix subs reported within H5 miles ofus. We lost one ship, the U. S. S.Vaanand, .on the way. She wasrammed by another ship. They goteveryone off before she went down.We left our convoy when we werejust out of sight of land and turnedback. The destroyers and subchaserstook the convoy the rest of the way.It was sure some exciting trip. 1stood watch on one of the 3-inchguns. lam pointer on it. We ex-pect to go across again soon. Yonknow the Charleston took the firstAmerican convoy across. She Is a

first-class cruiser and neary all ofher guns have a navy E. She is.some ship and I hope we can add afew subs to our record. I receivedyour letters and the magazines, also

some other letters (16 in all) theother day and was sure glad to get

them.

IS YOUR BANKACCOUNT

GUARANTEED?Do you know that at the last session of the legislature a law was passed

that, rives absolute protection to money deposited in certain designatedbanks of the State of Washington? And that this protection is limited to

banks that are members of what is now known as the Washington Bank De-positors' Guaranty Fund?

Do you know that a bank, to become eligible to membership, must first sub-mit its entire affairs to a Board of Examiners, wholly apart from the regular

State Bank Examiners, and undergo the most rigid test—not only as to its fi-nancial strength but also its moral and ethical standing and conservatism ofits management?

Do you know that the Washington Bank Depositors' Guaranty Fund isrecognized throughout the Uuited States as the best protection yet offeredbank patrons—so good, in fact, that the Comptroller of Currency has select-ed some of its strongest features in framing his proposed law for the pro-tection of depositors in National Banks.

Have you been told by YOUR banker that there is such a law? And thatit does not cost the depositor anything for this legal assurance that his or hermoney is absolutely secure against loss?

Leading bankers of the state voluntarily asked for this model Washingtonlaw and worked untiringly to have it enacted. They wanted itfor their own

protection as well as for that of their depositors. They knew in advance thewholesome effect it would have, viz.: Greater confidence in banks on thepart of the public; a weeding out of "wildcat" methods of speculative bank-ing.

A large fund, being constantly increased, is kept in the State Treasurer'svaults, at Olympia, to secure prompt payment of deposits in case of emer-gency.

It is a matter of official record that in the states of North and South Da-kota Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas, where Guaranty Laws havebeen in force for a number of years, that not one penny has been lost in aGuaranty Bank. Washington's Guaranty law is even stronger than thoseof other states.

The Washington Bank Depositor's Guaranty Fund is positive protection,plus faith and trust in the honesty and integrity of your banker.

A large number of the most carefully conducted banks in Washington,with resources aggregating approximately Fifty Million Dollars, have beenadmitted to membership in the Guaranty Fund and others are coming in asrapidly as they can meet the rigid requirements.
