The Shepherdstown Register discusses Senate boom for Sutherland and President Wilson’s dealings in Europe. It urges Victory bonds as patriotic savings, defends Postmaster-General Burleson against attacks, and notes impending enforcement of liquor laws after June 30. It comments on German indemnities and Italy at the peace talks, urging cautious diplomacy and national unity.
The editor’s family rejoices as Sergeant Wm. B. Snyder arrives on the Texan at New York and proceeds to Camp Mills for preliminaries toward discharge. The Register’s readers know his France letters and await his homecoming to Shepherdstown. He describes Beau Desert near Bordeaux entertaining wounded soldiers with a show “The Gloom Displacers” and Red Cross hut performances. He recalls hospital life, US nurses, and a longing to return home as he tours camps and sees vineyards across France.
Private Earl Benner, recently discharged after recovering from gas exposure in France, is home in Sharpsburg. Local residents display John Brown relics and discuss toll gates, a bank cashier change, and town business while the Liberty Loan drive draws crowds and funds.
A letter notes France’s grape surplus and crowded fields leaving little room for food crops. The writer muses if farmers would switch to raising food, they could feed the world, and expresses longing to return home while sending best wishes.
