1856 SQUARES OF
EQUAL SIZE FORM
A GERMAN CITY

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 49,
Mannheim, the great commercial city
of the Upper Rhine valley which
French aviators are reported to have
raided recently. is famous as the
'ehess-board municipality of Germany
because of the precision with which il
is laid out in 1876 squares of equal
size, says war geography bulletin
which the National Geographic So
ciety issues from Washington.
with a population of 100000 OF its
own and 10000 in the town of Lud-
wigshafen just across the river, Man
heimm is not only the chief emporium
for all South Germany, handling vast
quantities of coal, petroleum, cereals,
tobacco, sugar, coffee, and timber. but
it is also great manufacturing cen
ter with chemical works, electric ma
chinery plants, iron foundries, and au-
tomobile factories. At the head of i'm
portant navigation of the Rhine, it is
not only the leading city of the upper
river, but is surpassed by Cologne
along on the Lower Rhine.
THE rapid growth of the shipping
interests of the city necessitated
vast expansion of the harbor during
the last quarter of century. The new
docks, quays and warehouses, con-
structed at the mouth of the Neckar,
which enters the Rhine at this point,
cover nearly $50 acres.
Grand Ducal Palace.
"The most striking building in
Mannheim is the famous grand ducal
palace, the largest of it's kind in the
German empire. Besides the apart
ments of the Grand Duke of Baden,
into whose possession the city passed
in 1902, the palace contains several in
teresting art collections. The orig
inal building was erected during the
first quarter of the 18th century, was
considerably enlarged a quarter of a
century later, and the left wing re-
stored following its destruction by
the bombardment of 1895 when the
Austrians captured the town after it
had been held by the French for a
year. The building covers two and a
half times as many acres as the ma
tional capitol at Washington, while
the extensive palace gardens give to
the city park and recreation ground
of great beauty The promenade sur
rounds the town following the line Of
the old Notifications which were razeC
when the grand duke of Baden came
into possession.
While Mannheim only dates from
1906, when it was founded by the Ell
ector Palatinate. Frederick w ant
chiefly peopled by protestant refugees
from Holland, it occupies the site of :
: village owned by the Abbey Lorsch il

distance to the south stood the oil,

castle of Eicholzheim. Here Baldas.
ARE Cossa, one of three churchmer
who claimed to be pope at the same
time, was imprisoned for three years
following his sensational trial by the
council at Constance during which
among other crimes, he was charged
(but not proved guilty. of having
poisoned his predecessor Alexander V.
Cossa exercised pontificial power I'M
der the title of John XIII from 1410
to 1415. After he bought his way out
OF prison he was appointed cardinal
bishop by Martin V, but died soon af-
ter in 1419.
Town Suffered Greatly.
During the Thirty Years War, the
struggling town of Mannheim suffered
greatly, owing to the strength and
strategic Importance of the castle
which had been erected by Frederick
", and which was coverted by all CON
tenders.
"The future of Mannheim was as
sured in 1920 when Electric Charles
Philip transferred his residence from
Heidelberg, 10 miles to the east, to the
ducal palace which he begun to build
in that year. The setback which re-
suited from the transference of the
court to Munich in 1878 was not tenn
porary.
"Mannheim's Theatre, which
was begun in the same year that our
Declaration Of Independence was sign
ed is famous as the playhouse in
which Schiller's first works-'Rob-
bers,' 'Fiesco' and 'Cabal and Love
were performed in association with
the noted Mannheim actor and
poet.
g" A tragedy which occurred in Mann
helm in 1919 resulted in placing the
in Germany under strict |
government supervision. This was
tie assassination of the noted drama
fist Kotzebue by Karl Ludwig Sand, a
student and liberty enthus-
last. Kotzebue, who had written 200 4
plays, many of which had enjoyed un-
success throughout En-
rope, had settled in Mannheim after he
rad been forced by his unpopularity to
cave his native city of Weimar upon
lis return from St. Petersburg in the
of a secret agent of the Rus
sian government.
Mannheim is 164 miles by rail south
sast of Cologne, SO miles north Of
karlsruhe, So miles south OF Frankfort,
md 12O miles northeast Of the forth
led French city Of Nancy"

LETTER FROM ALICIA DILLARD
Co F list Ark Inf

Mir. c. B. Andrews,
 Prescott, Ark,
 Dear Uncle Buck:
 Perhaps some of the people of i Nevada county would like to know a little about our army life on the border.
 We are located at Deming, a beautiful little town of four housand inhabitants. Deming 5 known as the city of wind mills. The people here. are very ind and generous to we soldier 3oys. We are camped between wo chains of mountains, and he scenery is most picturesque.
 When we first came the earth was covered with a mulch of dust about six inches deep. The next day after we had landed and pitched tents the rain began to pour, andlhas rained almost every day since. August and September are said to be the only rainy seasonssssof the year. The climate here is unexcelled, of course the sun shines hot. There IS a constant breeze that makes the climate pleasant. The nights are cold, and it requires two woolen blankets to keep us con- fortable. even in day time it is more pleasant here than in Ark. ansas.
 The first night we landed here we had to sleep in our "dog tents," as:we call them. After l had retired and most asleep, a big ant attacked me and I thought 1 was bitten by rattler, and you can imagine how prompt l was to arise.
 Our main sport is chasing rab- bits, which number thousands near our camp. We have had some experience with rattlers on top of the mountains. Coyote wolves. horned frogs and gCfers are plentiful.
 We have all kinds of accommo- dations, such as bath houses, lighted streets, good water at our door and sometimes plenty to eat.
 Most of the boys who enlisted from Nevada county. such as Dale Mcdaniel. Frank Grayson, James Hosbey. Keetsy Sales. Theodore Sandusky. Ed Blake. Aubry White, have made high score chasing rabbits. Anyway ve have a pretty good time when we are asleep. Lieut.. Scott has been lame for week, though he IS about straight.
 We are camped on the banks of the Memoirs river which sinks into the sand near our camp. We are S0C0 feet above sea level and the air seems to be very thin. Oeming is noted the world over IS a greet health resort.
 We have not done any patrol duty yet, although we are ex- pecting a hike to Columbus next week for twelve days duty. All the boys seem to be in good spir- it's most of the time. We were seventy-two hours on the road when coming here, although the boys seemed to stand the trip ine. AS a whole, army life is not what one might expect, and my advice would be to Iany boy, Stay at home. "
 With best regards to mysmany friends. 1 am still a candidate f1ur years hence.

HIGH QUALITY. BIG VALUE

All the enjoyment and satisfac-

The only way TO taste tobacco is

that gives you the most taste is
the plug form.
Compare a sweet, juicy chew of

away you'll see how much more
tasty and enjoyable is American
Navy.
American Navy is made entire
ly OF JOhole leaf-the same leaf
that is used in making good
eigars-and the sweet. sayorv
Juices that nature puts into the
Leaf are pressed evenly through
the whole plug, so that every
chew of American Navy fills yoy
plumb full of tasty satisfaction
