Il am always ready to take look in
on Birmingham" said w. P. Nichols, one
of Roanoke's leading citizens
Randolph county is in better financial
condition than it has been since the war.
1t not only made great food crops, but
the cotton turned out much better than
was expected. and the price has turned
loose lots of money that is being spent
at Roanoke, which is thriving"
Wants Light on Fifth Avenue
Il came first to Birmingham 81 years
ago. got my first sensation of it by
being walked by the glare from the coke
ovens.
Il am at loss to understand why the
city permits Fifth avenue to be dark
not only on Sunday and Thursday nights
but on every night in the week. 1t does
seem to me that it ought to be lit from
the Terminal station to the Tutwiler. 1t
makes it hard on those who walk up it
after dark, and it gives the Impressions
to those coming in that Birmingham is
poorly lighted city. Now would be a
bad time to start an agitation to have it
made into white way, but I hope it will
be done as soon as it is feasible"

RAN ACROSS BARRE MEN.
Soldiers from Granite City Had Reunion
Across the Water.

The following letter has been received
by Mrs. Robert H. Watson of South
Barre from her son, J. w. Watson, with
the l0lst ammunition train:
"0n Active Service with the American
Expeditionary Force, Oct. 80, 1917
"Dear Mother Just line TO let you
know / have passed through the dangers
of the trip and that / am enjoying my
self in France. We reached here Wednes :
day and, taking everything into consider
alton. it is a pretty good place to stay.
We are quartered in barracks. They are
fine and IL seems some different sleep
ing on soft hunks than lying on boards
as we did in England. We also get good
grub.
What do you knowf | met two fell
lows from Barre in another branch of
service They lived in Massachusetts,
when they enlisted. They are Dave Nor.
timer and Joe Averle. They were class
mates of mine when we first went to
Barre. Mortimer is married. II was
certainly pleasant surprise for me to
meet them again.
"The French soldiers treat us fine, but
We nave great uiilCuIti III UNDERSTANDING
them. / am sorry now that ] did not
study harder on French at school.
"This is a beautiful country. / wish
/ could come here in the summer time.
We came here the beginning of the rainy
season and I suppose it will be miserable
for three months. Everything is differ
ent here, the houses, the way they farm,
etc. To me they are about two hun
dred years behind. They have the same
kind of two-wheeed carts as pa used to
use in Ireland. Their horses are hitched
one in front Of the other.
Il went for walk one day and we
met a fellow with dog cart. One of the
fellows asked him what he would take for
i. The fellow was willing to swap il for a /
pair of our shoes. | wish you could see |
he shoes they wear. II would take a
derrick to lug them around
I'VE have not been paid yet, but if we
,ver do there is no chance to spend ii !
inless fellow spends it on booze and
believe me, / am not going to start that.

WILLI1M.STOWN
Appeal for More Red Cross Christmas
Bags for the Soldiers.

A new appeal has come from Red Cross
headquarters asking the Red Cross So
ciety of this town to increase their quota
from 40 bags, the number originally
asked of them for the soldiers, to go
bags. 1t is urgently hoped that many
viii volunteer to help fill these bags to
give our soldiers a joyous Christmas. All
bags must be in not later than Dec. 3, so
that the committee will have ample time
to inspect and pack them for shipment
on Dec. 5. Will anyone who is already
making or planning to make Christmas
bags notify Mrs. A. A. Cross right away,
that she may know how many to plan
on?
The Red Cross society wishes to thank
most cordially the Congregational So
ciety and committee in charge of the
chickenpie supper on Friday last for the
splendid gift of $50 that was given them
II will be a splendid aid to the society
toward buying furnishings for our sol
diers during the winter
Will all the drafted men who come to
their homes for Thanksgiving who have
not already been furnished with knitted
articles, such as sweaters etc, call at DR..
Cross office to be furnished before re-
turning to camp?

An Instance of Our Easy Ways.

Professor Anton II. Appelmann, tn
German professor at the University o
Vermont, who was so long and 81
strangely sheltered at Burlington
through the influence of President Ben
ton of the university, has at last re
signed his chair, and we are informed BY
the Burlington Daily News that in re
signing he let ii be understood that HI
was leaving Burlington and the country
at once "and would as soon as possible
return to Germany and take up wal
work there'-war work said to be In
behalf of American prisoners. The Bur.
/ lington Free Press says that che will
soon start for Germany. permission and
safe conduct having been given by the
state department"
In signed letter in a university pub
lieation. Professor Appelmann made this
/ statement, Oct. 81, 1914:
81. like a few others who have been
in this country before, was sent back be-
cause the government thought we might
be Of better service TO the fatheriand by
teaching and lecturing here than by
fighting in Germany, since there were
too many volunteers ANYHOW. I was
Instructed however, that | might expect
TO be called back ut any time.
Professor ApTelmann, in an interview
which he authorized, said also:
THE German government sent a num-
Der of men who were connected with uni
versities in this country back, the idea
being That their good work here in their
chosen professions and as diplomatic rep
resentatives of Germany would be worth
more to the fatherland than their serv-
ices in the field with the army. If there
are any German interests in the vicinity
he is to care for them"
In letter written about this time APP
pelmann laid down his governing prin-
ciple In these words: Anything for ones
fstherland and everything for it." That
Appelmann failed in his duty TO the Ger
man government as he conceived and
thus freely expressed it, there has never
been the smallest reason to doubt. Yet
he has been permitted TO exercise, mp to
this very week. his functions as an
American university professor, in close
proximity to large military camp and
in convenient communication with the
Canadian eenters Of operation. Has
there ever been a queerer case of easy !
American ways than this? And it seems
hat the easy ways are not yet at their |
