No Hysteria
in Paris

Jamestown, n. D., March "A
picture Of Paris as it appears to the
American traveller today is drawn by
Charles Boise, a former jamestown
resident, in letter to his father, w.
10. Boise, of this city.
The spectacular is missing-but
Paris presents a remarkable saudy,
says Mr.. Boise, who is en- route home
from the diamond fields of Africa.
"The spectacular side of life here
is subdued, now that the nation is
engaged in such serious business, and
one obtains glimpse of the real
France which was little known in
the pre-war days" writes Mr.. Boise.
There is not hysteria here, but every
one goes about the days work with a
calm and cheerful attitude sustained
by deep confidence in the final out
come. Even in such serious times.
France has time to be courteous to
strangers, and we have met with SYM
pathetic consideration everywhere.
"One encounters soldiers every
where, and they are all remarkably
we'll equipped Most of those we see
are home on furloughs, or have been
recovering from wounds. presume
we see none of the real badly wound
ed on the streets. though some of the
Scared faces one notes gives an idea
of what horrible mansling is going
on at the front"

BACHELORS SEEKING
COVER OF EXEMPTIONS
Baron Harris, a Big Farmer, Says
Single Men Are Not Needed
on Farms.

London, March 2.-Keen disap-
pointment as to the results of re-
cruiting under the voluntary scheme
proposed By him was expressed in
the house of lords today by the Earl
of Derby, former chief of the recruit
ing service. The earl laid the chief
blame for the failure to achieve the
full results at which he had aimed
to the easy exemption Of single men,
belonging to the starred trades-men
required for work necessiiated by the
war, and agriculturists. He made an
emphatic plea to the government to
prevent bachelors of military age
from evading military service by
transferring themselves to specialize
ed occupations, and declaring that a
strong effort was necessary to obtain
a requisite of fighting men, without
whom the Empire might fall.
Agriculturists, the Earl Of Derby
said, were the principal class to avail
themselves of exemption under the
plea that they were Indispensable for
the production of foodstuff and that
such exemption should be watched.
Baron Harris, who has large farm
interests, expressed the opinion that
no single man was necessary on a
farm.
The government promises to revise
the list of reserve trades with view
to releasing more men for the army.
