People in France Will Demand Full
Reparation From Huns Writes Markley

ever, within the short time | have
been here, by using some French and
good deal of pantomime. I am able
to make myself understood, and am
getting along fine. suppose the
French are Mortified with the way
their language is being butchered by
the soldiers over here.
when we were advised before COM
ing overseas to provide ourselves with
plenty of wool clothing, it was advice
well given as we can now testify. The
climate here at this season is very
damp and chilly. We are told that
there will be six months of this with
colder weather than we have now.
The temperature is not low now but
the chill is very penetrating. There
are not many days that it does not
rain at some time during the twenty
four hours. There is heavy fog near
ly every morning and this does not lift
or disappear until nine or ten O'Clock.
Often in the middle of the day there
is sunshine, and the crops and all
kinds of vegetation seem to do well
here. Also one must learn to get
along without much fire. The free use
of fuel is not seen here as it is in
America. A little fire in our offices
and small fire once or twice week
In our rooms for the purpose of taking
bath is the rule here. When one
sits down to study or read it is often
with the overcoat on and we'll buttoned
up and cap on the head. The wool
things the American Red Cross are
making are truly appreciated over
here. However, everybody seems
happy and we are rapidly getting adj
justed to these conditions. There is
no Y. M. G. A. in our area, and we of
course miss that very much. This is
the first time since l have been in
the army that we have not had the
benefits of the Y. The Y. M. c. A.

ant in the motor transport service. A

signing maps used in the work, and
his maps have been highly recon-
mended by the war department"

transport school in the country. and

Lieut. Bayer with another sergeant at

please do not use French, the walters

is a statement made frequently in the
restaurants OF France, according to
letter received by Mrs. Stephen G.
Markley, from Captain Markley, who
is now stationed in France.
He says: You will see / am now
in France: / arrived here safely
fine, but there is no place like the
good old U. S. A. l am at present
billeted in a pretty French village,
and the people here are very kind and
hospitable to the Americans. It seems
that they can hardly do enough for
them, who they credit as having saved
them in this war. The men on the
streets tip their hats to the American
officers, and the women and children
all speak to us and say 'Bonour. mon
sieur PAmerican.' When they de-
scribe what awful things the boche
have done to their beautiful country,
tears often stand in their eyes, but
they are too brave to actually break
down and weep. l think the French
are splendid people and although
we cannot as yet understand their
language very we'll, and their Gus
toms seem strange to US, yet they
are so kind and obliging, and try
so hard to please, that it does not
seem that we are among strange peo-
pie, but rather among the very best
friends. Their ideas on world ques-
tons, government and freedom of the
people are the same as ours, and
therefore, they seem to us like
brothers
"The dispatches from the front dur
ing the last week tell of the splendid
things being done by the allied armies
and the papers state that Germany
seems about to yield to all the al
lied terms and conditions. Over here

nection Germany surely has lot to
aswer for.
1--WE get Paris newspapers every
day and also the London papers. The
news in the London ones, however, is
day old when we get it. but we like
the English papers because we can
read them so much easier than the
French. The Paris papers give the
fresh news, and l am learning to read
sufficiently we'll to get the main points
from the headlines, concerning the
war news. 1t seems to me that the
French language is quite difficult to
learn, especially the pronunciation, the
word arrangements, etc. | never stud

Save the Hens.

Washington, d. c. Feb. II, 1918.
Every laying hen sold from the
farms before the first of May means
a loss of about SO eggs to the food
supply of the Nation. These eggs
are valuable food, manufactured
largely from insects, weeds, and
grass, garbage waste. The eggs,
therefore, are almost wholly net

hen is just as good meat after she
has laid these eggs as before. "Save

SUPPLYING ARMS AND LEGS.

French mutiles (wounded soldiers

gather daily at the various American
Red Cross headquarters in France,
seeking assistance in securing arti-
fetal arms or legs. The ones supplied
by the Red Cross are the most prac-
tical to be obtained.
So great has been the demand for
this sort of assistance that the Red
Cross is now constructing near Paris
an artificial limb factory. Also in the

plants for the manufacture of splints
