VACATED CITY IN HANDS
OF AMERICAN CITIES

One of the most interesting letters
from 'over there" which has reached
the News was handed in by l.. X. ia.
cobs, a cousin of the writer. The let
ter was written TO his mother who
forwarded same to Mr.. Jacobs:
Somewhere in France.
Dear Mother and All:
I'm still travelling around like n lost
soul. | canno tell you where | am.
In fact, if ! could, by the time the
letter reached you | would be

present surroundings in such a way

pearing. The stores open, the homes
just as If the people were occupying
them. The theatres and everything
open, but not a single person in town.
Some times it seems like a dream.
Just think, | have the whole city for
a home. ! can live in a hut or Il palace
a mansion or u flat I'm very modest
so have just selected u chateau. Per-
haps you think by now I'm out of my
head. There is just enough excitement
here that the whole city has fled. q
mean the people,. They left the city
and everything they could not carry,
Speaking of living-we are. The
gardens are full of potatoes. beans,
onions, and the orchards are full of
ripe plums. Apples, pears and grapes
will soon be ripe. We have plenty of
kitchens to prepare our meals in, and

SOMEBODY'S DOLLARS
WILL DO IT

| will tell you what will happen
some night this winter in France,
Some night when it's cold and dark.
There will be a rustling through
the front line trench, where our boys
stand guard. And a heaven ladened
Secretary will make his way along.
In his hands will be great steaming
pots; in his pocket chocolate and ciga-
rettes.
From n man to another he will

hands that tremble with the cold
bringing the comfort Of a bit Of sweet
and a smoke.
Men will hail him cheerily, slapping
him on the back; and when he has gone
things will be a little easier in that
trench because he has passed that way.
How much will it cost to make that
trip-do you suppose? Counting the
pittance that the Secretary is paid,
and the cost Of the chocolate and the
cigarettes and all?
Five dollars? Twenty-Five dollars 4?
! do not know.
But whether it is five dollars or
twenty-five, I'd like to think that it is
my five or twenty-fve-wouldn't you ?
That some night when its cold and
lonesome, my money and yours might
send a Secretary out along that front
line trench. Let's make up our minds
hat we are going to pay for a score
of those trips. A score of the nights
this winter shall be our nights.
nights when the boys greet joy
ously the chocolate and cigarettes that
our money provided; and are happier
because our representative mas passed.
