Letters Which Show the Spirit
Of Our Boys at the Front

French girls are really beauti-
full"
This is the verdict of a frank
American soldier after passing
through Gay Paree on his way to
the grim battle line in France.
OF course he conflded this truth
only to his sister; but then, what's
the harm? For he generously
adds: "All are very nice and very
easy to get acquainted with"
MANY other interesting little in
cidents since the American troops
arrived in France are related in the
following letter, just received by
sister from her soldier brother:

BURNS
DOWN THROUGH
LACK OF WATER
Scant Supply Results in
Damage of $3.50 to
Three Structures.

Lack OF water Is ascribed by the fire
department as the cause of the total
destruction Of a two-story frame
building, occupied, by Matte Howard,
at I2s Sheridan avenue. Hillsdale, Ana
costa. yesterday afternoon, when the
structure burned to the ground with
a loss of $500
Buildings on each side of the dwell
ing were damaged to the extent of
$50.
Firemen ascribe the inability to
handle the blaze to the absence OF
. fire plugs and the scant supply of
water furnished by a little stream
which runs through the valley. This
stream had to be damned in order
to get enough water to prevent further
damage to other structures.
The cause of the fire is not known.
1t started in the latter part Of the
afternoon, and, famed with a brisk
river breeze, had almost burned the
structure up before Engine companies
Is and . and Truck Company No.

LET'S WASHINGTONIAN
VISIT FAMILY HERE
Marshal Splain Grants Permission
to Absentee Enemy Alien.

United states Marshal Splain gave
one of the city's prominent residents
premssion to visit his home and
family.
That sounds strange. but the permis-
sion was necessary. since this resi-
dent is classified by the government
as an alien enemy. He was in Colo
rado when the alien enemy edict went
into effect. Under the law he could
not come into Washington without
permission, as he was not registered.
Cases sim lar to this continue to
occupy the attention of the United
States marshal and his stan. 1nvesti-
gators OF the Department of Justice
have not disco 'ered any Germans who
evaded the act. but the general round
