Letter From Charley Nave in France France, July 10th. The Chronicle, Cottonwood, Ida. Messers: I was somewhat sur- poised to see my name in your pa- per, dated May 10, in the list of names of drafted boys from Idaha county. Long before that date I was on the fighting front in France with several notches in my gun. I en- listed asa volunteer a year ago with Co. E. of the 2d Idaho In- fantry and have been in France for 7 months—nearly all of that time in active service. The Cottonwood boys as far as I knoware all well and enjoying the big fight. Weare doing our best to put the Huns on the bum and bring the war toan endas soon as possible. The boys surely do appreciate the Chronicle’s weekly visits and we feel very thankful to your com- mercial club for sending the pa- per tous. It isthe best way to get the home news.

Last week Leslie heard three section men at work there cuss the government and every- thing in it from President down, and hoped that Germany would win the war. The boy very prop- erly reported the matter to the authorities. Before they could be arrested the thugs waylaid the boy and gave him a terrible beat- ing. Frank Bryan, the father, heard about it next day and left on the first train for ‘Tekoa, with the in- tention of “saying a few things” to the Hun sympathizers. He found two of them in jail, but for some reason the third one was turned loose—which proved an unlucky thing for him. Frank soon found him and tHe miserable wretch is now in the hospital so | badly “beat-up” that he resembles a chunk of raw meat. pele ls Ladies, Attention!
