M. BEMISH In the Echo Building THE LEAVENWORTH ECHO LETTERS FROM SOLDIER BOYS Bxccrpta from I,otter of Kd C Booth Dated May 2nd. Your letter of March 20th reached mo ten days ago and one you wrote on your birthday, just arrived an hour 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 more parcels, except under certain condi- tions, so don't bother about sending any more. I can tret alone easily without candy and cake, but will ap- preciate the tobacco. Received two papers of tobacco from you yester- day, which, judging from the appear- ance of the package had been on the way for a long time. Suppose you can't help worrying while all the big scrapping tfoc.-: on, and I know my letters should be more frequent, but it's an actual hardship for mo to write at all under existing conditions, so don't feel any anxiety merely because you don't hear from me often. For the last three weeks we have been playing the game of hare and hounds —with the Germans acting the latter rote. Of course, they are paying for it at an awful rate and we ought to be satisfied. Our old stamping ground around (censored) has been the scene of some of the most violent struggles of the war quite recently. We were mixed up in it the first day or two and then were ordered back and are now quartered farther to the rear of the line than ever before. The sight of droves of civilian refu- gees beating it to safety was one I'll never forget. Of all ages, from suckling babes to 90-year-olds, they deserted the only homes they had eevr known, only when the enemy shells came in a regular chorus of destruction. Many left their house- hold goods and livestock, taking only a bundle of clothes and food. After a day or two of rest, we went up to a point between****and ******and put in a week; when It grot too hot and we trekked for seven hours with full pack and fighting equipment to our present camp. This was by all means the longest and hardest march we've had since com- in gto France. We were in the ruins of*****a few times and it is certainly some tangle of wreckage. Four years ago, it was the home of 100,000 people; now it's a huge blot of battered stone arid brick, the abode of a few homeless cats and millions of rats. Still the Germans make it a target for a daily shower of shells. You folks are lucky with your fine weather; with us, it is just the op- posite. We have't had more than four or five sunny days for a month; nothing but mud everywhere. I always like the local news in the Echo; can't say, though that I care to have my letters publnshed in It, as I'm not in a position to write for publication. Must close now. Love to 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 his work; posthumous or otherwise. I see where its publication was forbid- den in Great Britain and Canada. Its ideas were taken advantage of by the conscientious objectors and other pro-Corman idiots. Julian I. Mayar, who is now in the officers' training camp on the University campus, Seattle, writes: "Our program dons'nt give US much time for letor writing. This is the first letter I have written this week. Will give you an Idea as to how we spend the day. Roll out in the morning at 5:30; answer roll call at 6:00. Then go back to our tents, make up the beds, put everything away in shipshape order. And another thing, we - scrub ' the floors of the tents every morning. By the time we have the tent straightened out it is 7:00 and time for breakfast. At 7:45 we line up and march out for inspection. After which comes a couple of hours of infantry drill. At 10 o'clock we go to school and wrestle with problems in trigonometry. At 12:30 wehave dinner and at 1:30 we are at it again. The after- noons are usually spent out on the field getting knowledge of ordin- ance and gunnery. Also boat drills and how to handle small boats. Then we must learn all about a ship and ist construction. We must also also learn three kinds of signaling. There will be more on the program as time goes on, but as yet I have not learned what it will be. The course covers a period of four months at the end of which tlmr those passing satisfactory examina- tions will be commisioned as "en- signs," which ranks with a lieuten- ant in the army. Am going up against the keenest kind of competi- tion. Men just out of college and of course 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 have a beter chance to study." Writing from Now York City under 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 the way 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. They tried to get us awful hard but couldn't make it. You see wo Eg- zag so much that they can't locate us and if they do we lose them by zigzagging again. Two or three dif- ferent times there was as many as six subs reported within H5 miles of us. We lost one ship, the U. S. S. Vaanand, .on the way. She was rammed by another ship. They got everyone off before she went down. We left our convoy when we were just out of sight of land and turned back. The destroyers and subchasers took the convoy the rest of the way. It was sure some exciting trip. 1 stood watch on one of the 3-inch guns. lam pointer on it. We ex- pect to go across again soon. Yon know the Charleston took the first American convoy across. She Is a first-class cruiser and neary all of her guns have a navy E. She is .some ship and I hope we can add a few subs to our record. I received your letters and the magazines, also some other letters (16 in all) the other day and was sure glad to get them. Friday, June 21, 1918 IS YOUR BANK ACCOUNT 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 designated banks 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 of its management? Do you know that the Washington Bank Depositors' Guaranty Fund is recognized throughout the Uuited States as the best protection yet offered bank 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 that it does not cost the depositor anything for this legal assurance that his or her money is absolutely secure against loss? Leading bankers of the state voluntarily asked for this model Washington law and worked untiringly to have it enacted. They wanted it for their own protection as well as for that of their depositors. They knew in advance the wholesome effect it would have, viz.: Greater confidence in banks on the part 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's vaults, 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 have been in force for a number of years, that not one penny has been lost in a Guaranty Bank. Washington's Guaranty law is even stronger than those of 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 been admitted to membership in the Guaranty Fund and others are coming in as rapidly as they can meet the rigid requirements. /^^^^^W^n.

Mrs. Etta Vessey, owner of enough sheep to be called the sheep queen of the state, spent several days here this week. Mr. Wm. Churchill, her manager, who usu- i ally spends the summer here, says the sheep went through the winter \u25a0 down in the Yakima country in fine shape. A heavy crop of lambs is a ; fact that brings a smile to all sheep I owners as broad as the hand of Providence.

Fields and other ranchers who are through put- ting up their hay, are spraying the trees with arsenate of lead. Mr. and Mrs. Alden Warman and young son arrived here Tuesday to spend a while with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Boston. Mr. and Mrs. Joe Kirby and H. HA Kelly attended the Pomona Gra^V at Wenatchee Monday. They Im- ported that the speaking was very good. B. L. Ryan is just commencing to cut his hay. Going on to the approach at the Dryden bridge over the Wenatchee river Fred Thompson and Fred Sherman ran into each other. Thompson's car went off the ap- approach. The car was badly dam- aged,'the lights and windshield be- ing broken and the top completely smashed up. One little boy had his arm broken and a big gash was cot in the Bide of the little birl. The others were not hurt. Mr. Sher- man's car was not seriously dam- aged. The Arbogast boys are spraying at different ranches this week. Several of the ladies attended the demonstration held at the Grange Hall Monday by Mrs. Alexander. Mr. McFarland has bought a fine milch cow from Logan's Leaven- worth dairy herd.
