blew "fit to kill" and the newsboys all yelled "War's over!!" Needless to say, I rushed out and sunk my money in an extry, but I couldn't believe what it said. I'm glad now that I didn't, and I absolutely refuse to be moved by anything in the papers until the old boy in Washington says it's the truth. I do hope you cable me soon. Julie and Martha both called soon after noon, and Julie said they were celebrating at school but of course I wet-blanketed the whole thing. Then she suggested the possibility of your being sent to Russia. Good Heavens! Such an idea. Tell them you simply have to come home because your wife is dying and your children going to the dogs. I wonder what is wrong with me. Most people are flying around like frightened geese, yapping about peace, peace, peace. I wish my feelings on the subject were not so deep seated and would come to the surface because people must think I'm absolutely devoid of all sensation. I can't run
