on the flag, one for you and one for Wallace. Of course, I can't claim both stars but Mama does, and she is so proud of them! We find today that the war is not so nearly over as we thought. When school closed Friday night the kids tiptoed all the way home, because the minute the whistles blew they were all to meet at the H.S. and form in line for a parade. Since then we've all been holding our breath and speaking in whispers for fear we'd not hear the first toot and some one would beat us to it. It looks now as tho we'll have to keep waiting for some time. I used to be proud to say I knew Admiral Wilson. At present I'd like to bump him good for starting all this mess. I stood on my head on the corner today and read the extry, instead of buying one. Five cents cheaper, Aha! But there was nothing to it. Simply that Germany is in the midst of revolution and that has been the topic of at least
