from Newport News, one from Lynchhure ana
CIR from -Clpeinus.i That being the case ii is
inevithie that this road should play q large
part In the development o. Richmond and the
surrounding territory, Added 70 this ia sne
fact that the general Offices OF fne road are 10
Gated here, and large part Of IT'S general busi-
ness is necessarily handled through Richmond
Far all Of these reasons the Chc5afeake OHIO
has as large az interest in the development o.
the city as any Of the other roads, and large"
than most Of them.
But with all these ties between The city and
the road, there Is littlo opportunity FOR citizens
In outlying territory 10 mako use OF the road
in doing business in Richmond because nc
schedules do not provide for early morning and
late afternoon travel to nearby points. The
rates are As good as any one could ask, but the
schedules do not accommodate themselves to the
use Of men who desire to live on the lines Of
the road and work In the city.
Why il IL desirable 10 have such residents?
Because al present they are most valuable citi

few years Few men go out OF the city TO small
farms and at once give up their occupations In
the city Most Of them retain small job
that does not require all their time and give
tile rest OF their attention to the development
OF small country estates, FOR the eitys purposes
twenty thousand citizens in the territory imme-
diateiy contiguous to Richmond jus, al present
would be of much more value than twenty thou.
sand citizeus IN the city itself, Truck farms
near a city are OF It's most valuable assets
Farms OF this sort also pay well 10 the railroads,
and while there are not many fortunes TO be
made from their shipments in the beginning
yet as the number ei value of the products
or the farm increase. both city and railroad as
well AS citizen, share in the benefits
Fer all these reasons, we feel that the Chesa-
reake Ohio viii be doing service both to
itself and Richmond by providing a scnccule
OF local trains bring men to Richmond In time
for their work in the morning and take them
back to their homes IN the evening We should
be glad 10 see such schedule worked out as

Paris.-The correspondent OF New
York Sun with the Foreign Legion
at the front writes:
A postcard came from Torole say.
ing that he is acting as mechanic for
an American aviator with the fifteenth
squadron OF the royal flying corps at
Farnsborough, England. He adds that
he has been granted ten days vacation
and received $40 advance pay and that
the feeding is fine, especially the ham
and eggs.
Fred Stone, a New Yorker has been
wounded by shrapnel while On sen.

of ---. Two bullets entered his body.
but DR.. Van Worst, who attended him,
assured us he was all right.
A later letter says:
This is my birthday. Heavy snow
has fallen. Strange, for only yester.
day as we were on our way to the
shooting trenches from the sugar re-
finery on the canal, where we had all
taken hot shower baths, l was think
ing of writing to ask you to send us
a baseball outfit. Spring was in the
air, and everything was beautiful, so
no wonder we all got baseball fever.
Many of the Americans here are col
lege men. There are at least three in
the rear and thirteen here. We had

Is in the hospital at Mont Meriel.
Olinger is at the depot at Orleans, and
so is Collins, who is still i'll. Narwich
has just joined us again with some
others who have come to fill our ranks
Ganson Is also at Orleans. Casey has
gone for an eght-day rest.
You may think the idea of baseball
here is crazy but why not? The kAg-
lish play football in the rear of the
lines. Do not forget that this war Is
the most remarkable war in many 9TH
er ways than its size. 1t has been
pointed cut often enough that the
firing line is 200 miles in length. but
not much attention has been paid to it's
width. Its depth is SO comparatively
Insignificant that VIC can play ball If
we will when out of the trenches.
Or course shells fall in this village
where am writing, where we rest, but
we can go another half mile or SO to
the rear and be entirely out of the dan
ger zone. People are living there
again as before the war. They hear
the distant roar of cannon, but the
noise becomes a habit. Anyone who
wants a fine reproduction of the front
when firing is going on-not a battle
but the ordinary firing-has only to go
10 some big construction work in New
York, where he will hear exactly what
We hear every day.
The blasting initiates the cannon,
the hammer striking the steel girder
gives the rifle shot, steel girder
when dropped reproduces cannon
Gre effect, especially through the vi
brations caused. But the most re-
markable initiation is the hydraulic
