trance into this court and it is by the
court gate which is marked by huge
square pillars. The buildings are
usually of stone overlaid with plaster
and whitewashed and in some cases,
red brick is used. The buildings are
overtopped with tile roof and the
caves are so low that they can be
reached with the uplifted hand. THIS
arrangement is strange enough when
you see the barnyard animals passing
into the living room as freely as into
their own quarters but when you see
that great mat Of manure lying in the
courtyard and see the urine from the
stable draining out you wonder how
the people tolerate it.

LETTER FROM FRANCE.
Member of Lumber Bridge Company
Writes Interesting Letter
Life in France.

The following letter received by
home folks from Mr.. Guy A. Plott,
son of Mr.. and Mrs. J. NJ. Plott of
Lumberton, r. !, will be of interest
to Robesonlan readers:
"The danger to US is not half that
which the folks at home imagine. If
you could talk with men, who have
seen two, three and yea, four years
of service in the British army and
come so far without a scratch; if
you could see the splendid morale of
these men, after so protracted a
period of intensive military service,
you would spare the agony of heart
in picturing your boy as in grave
danger and too, to live as we do,
billetinC in these old quiet villages
you would be effected by the strange
sense of peace and security that pre-
vades them too.
France, as l have been able to OBJ
serve is q rolling country, the pockets
or ravines usually holding little
village concealed among great old
elms and black buches. The soil
is altogether unlike any l have ever
seen at home; the subsoil is a solid
bed of some hundred feet of soft chalk
rock covered with brown mixture
with broken stones and particles Of
this chalk rock. Washing of fields is
probably unknown owing to the grad
ual rolling country and the solid char
acter Of the soil. 1t is a wonderfully
peaceful view that one gets by stand

pattern for a crazy quilt. The
narrow, white roads crossing and re-
crossing each other and the hedges
dividing the field make the seams.
AS the crazy quilt is made bright by
some gay patch of silk, so the i'm
mense pattern stretched out before
US is colored and made gray by the
yellow mustard and red poppies
which dance among the grain. Off
in the distance it seems but a step
in the haze, is a church spire and It
marks a town.

we get up at reveilee and find them

Campaign for Third Issue of War
Bonds Opens April 6-McAdoo
Urges All to Help De-
feat Huns.

Washington, March 26.-Secretary
McAdoo announced on Monday that
the amount of the third Liberty loan
would be $3,OO0,0OO,OO0, the bonds car
rying Az per cent interest and that all
oversubscriptions will be accepted.
The secretary Of the treasury out
lined his plan following a conference
with Representative Kitchin, chairman
of the ways and means committee Of
the house, and will ask congress for ap-
prevail.
Will Be NonconvertibIe.
Outstanding features Of the third
war loan plan as announced are:
The bonds will be nonconvertible,
but bonds of the first and second war
loans may be converted into the new
AZ per cent securities.
The bonds will be acceptable at par
and accrued interest in payment of
United States Inheritance taxes.
They, will have the benefit of a
sinking fund of per cent per annum
during the period of the war and for
Ouo year LnerodILer.
Authority to issue S4,5OOO0O,OOO in
bonds in addition to the $3,666,000,OO0
already authorized and unissued is
proposed in new loan legislation pre-
pared for submission to congress-, so
that the total amount which may be
issued is $8,166OOO,OOO.
Congress, the secretary announced,
will be asked for authority to make adj
ditional loans to the allies during the
coming summer. The decision to make
the new bonds nonconvertible, he
said, was reached in order to put an
end to the expectation Of higher inter-
est rates.
Mr.. McAdoo said expenditure of the
United States and the allied govern
ments had been below estimates and
that consequently a greater loan than
that planned was not necessary. Up
until recently expectations outside of
government circles as to the new is
sue had ranged between $4,OO0,O0OO00
and $6OOO,OOO,OOO.
Cites Big Battle in France.
In a statement issued when making
the announcement the secretary de-
clared that the great events now
happening in France must fire the
soul Of every American with a new
determination to furnish all the dol
lars and all the material resources of
America that are needed to put an end
to the execrable atrocities of German
militarism.
Defeat faces the kaiser" he de-
clared. 'Let US hasten it by assert
ing Americas might with increased
vigor in concert with our gallant COM
rades. I am sure that the people will
respond to the third Liberty loan with
the same loyalty and enthusiasm that
characterized their support of the first
two loans"
