(Continaed from last week;*
During tbe laet two or  three yeara
tbe Japanese government baa furniah-
*d  China   bnudreds  (if   millions   ol
dollars   of  loans    whlcli   have   been
sought  on   one   pretext  or   another,
bat wbicb have been largely used for
military   pa-pones  and now   tbere Is
nothing  to   show    tor   them   except
more and  more of tbe   claims which
tbs Japaneee government is pressing
oa the Chinese government. It la tbe
Military party   which bae to  bear tbe
ajreattr responsibility  for tbese loans
aod now 1 note that they are pressing
tke  Preaident to  make another  loan
for  $70 000.000   which will be   for tfce
•reoreanization   of the "Array",     ine
President io tbe main bss stood firmly against these   militarists,   r,ut it ie
hard tc   see bow he   can resist   them
at all points as tbey have tbe military
power in their hands.
One often hears of  China as a verv
peaceful   country,   and   eo   sbe is   as
Tar as bar external  relations are concerned.   She bas certainly stood more
from  the otber   nations of the   earth
than moat any other uatioD would bo
willing to take.    However   her inter
aal affairs   bave not   always   been so
peaceful and now we   see her divided
atiil   by civil war.    If it bad not been
for tbia  tiresome   struggle   between
the north and the south China would
have  likely  done   more  to  help   the
cause of   tbe   Allies in   France.    Sbe
did declare her   intention of sending
an army over tbere, but wben it came
to  the actual   sending  of one,   some
objection   was always taieed,   chiefly
by the Military   party who were promoting the  civil w r and   wbo wonld
bave been thwarted   in some of their
pians   bad an armv   of any size   Deen
sent to   France.    The Military   party
said that tbe troops were not trained
well  enough   or    were  too   pooriy
equipped,    Hence  tbey  secured    instructors  from   Japan   to  come  and
train  the  army   and  also  made  big
ecutracts in Japan for Runs,   cacncn
ate.    Tbese   loans   were    eecured   a*
were many others on some cf China's
aatoral  resources   and so  more and
mars of China's valuable aseets went
ever into tbe  bands of ibe Japaneae.

getting ber name and address from a
Red Cross garment on which it appeared. He writes now more al

St. Nazarie, France
April 19.b, 1919.
Mr. and Mre VatSlckleo and son Jack
Farwell Mion, U. _. A.
Dear Friends :-
It bas been some time ago that 1
received your letter, but it wae my
misfortune to misplace it, eo you c»u
eee wny it never was answered.
I have dated   tbis   letter   tbe   19tb,
eo 1 will  wish you   my   Easter   greet
togs.    Now to tcl! ycu all  about  myself.    Well, I came   from   Hammond,
Indiana, and have sawtwenty months
in tbe army and I 6uppoee   it  will   be
twenty more before I get home.    Our
regiment   landed   in  Glaegow,    Scotland, Sept.   20th   and   from  there   to
Winchester, England.   We camped at
Winchester for a week  from there we
went to   La  Harve.     The   ride  from
1 Southhampton to La   Harve   is   some
rough   one,   never    again   over    the
English Channel for me.    We   rested
up four hours at La Harve      It  took
ns tbree days and   nights   to   ride to
our destination,   which   was   a   littie
town lo the southern p*»rt of   France.
Tbe name of the town is St. Germain
and one hnn-lred mod fifty miles from
Spain.    Here our regiment was taken
down with th*- flu   and   we   were   out
In   the   sticks,   so     we    put    up    an
emergency hospital,   and   had   about
live hundred men reporting  for   sick
call and seventy in the  hospital.      So
wben   we  received   the   order  to   go
to tbe front, tbe higher   ups  said   we
had to wait until tbe regiment was in
better   condition.     Ten   of   tbe   men
died of tbe flu and I am sorry   to   say
two of them   were   married   men.      I
saw one of tbe foneralc.    Tfce soldier
that was married bad a wife and   two
child/en so they had a French woman
and   two   cbildren   to  represent    his
family in tbe states.    We got to  give
it to the French people.     Tbey   bave
the greate-t of respect for   the  deiid.
The most of our   boys   got  well   ax.d
we reported reedy for  tbe   front   bat
they sent us to this port to belp on sn
engineering job.    We got tbree  here
and was In lino to   go   up  -again   aud
would have   got   tbere   only   for   the
armistice.     We   were   to   be   on   the
fiont line Nov    12tb.     I   don't know
wnat you people would  call  it,  good
luck or bad, but the most of us call it
bard  luck       Moat  of  tbe   boys    are
graduates from college or engineering;
schools and we bave a great   number
of    men    wbo    bave     beeu    acbool
teachers, so   you   can   imagine   wbat
kind of men we bave.    The  regiment
bave done some   great   work   around
tbis port siDce tbe armistic was signed.     Tbey   put   a   saw   mill   up,    lta
capacity ie four million feet of lumber
a day, and au embarkation camp tbat
has accommodations 'or forty   thousand troops.    The three mess balls  in
tbia camp can take care of  4KG0   men
every 15   minutes   and   rebuilt   roads
from St. Nazarie to Nantes   which   is
forty miles and we have  another job
putting in a sever eyetetn  iu   two   of
tbe camps in tbis baee.
Well to answer your questions as to
whether we pay for things received"
from the Ked Cross, well if you have
beard tbat, it le untrue. Tha reason
you dldnot bear from the boys yoo
had made (things for was that tbey
may bave been very buey up at tbe
front. Tbe only thing tbat tbe Ked
Croea aell is eats at tbeir canteens
around railroad stations and yon get
quite a feed for a few cents. One
would hardly think of paying a few
centa for a feed, wben moat of tbem
spend more tban tbat for wine.
Weil, Mr. and Mrs Van and Jack.
I could write a multitude of tbtnga
about tbe army and things that have
happened while In the army but I
guess I bave told you enough at thle
writing.

May Specials.
Tbe page ad of Wm. H. Bicknell
and Oo. tbis wsek telling of their
"May Specials" will no doubt attract
mucb attention. It should be bonis in
mind thst not sll tbe specials are
eon mora ted  bers,    only   a   few   of
you will   promise   to   not   let   anyone
eee it outside of the family.
How doee the prospect look for
epring fishing"- Gee! I would love to
be able to carry out tbat agreement 1
made with you to spend thle June at
your Bungaiow at Houghton lake,
bat bave some misgivings ae to tbe
possibility of it tbo, as there is not
even a proepectv ot starting in tbat direction yet, and you know it is an
awful long ways back tbere. Now
yon muen't feel eore at me if I dlsaa
point you, tor J made tbe promiee in
perfectly good faith, and I can't tell
you how I would love to keep it; but
you know tblnge are against roe, and
clrcumstancea alter cases. So we'll
let ttlnge develop and maybe I'll be
able to keep my prorniso "only" a
year later.
Hope tbie finds you sll in the best
of health and spirits. Love to every
one.    Sincerely Your Nepbew
