LETTER FROM FLOYD RIGGS.
Philadelphia, Pa,
 April 29, 1917.

Dear HomefolkS,
 Will drop you a few lines to- night to let you know 1 am still alive and having good time.
 l guess you see by the heading of this that I have left the Mis- souri. Ileft the old tub Friday morning. Went to Norfolk on or in the water. The tub we left on was small. When we got out on the lake we struck storm. l thought the old boat was going to break in to. We had our clothes-bags and ham mocks on the bottom deck and it was covered with water. Now you know what a muss our clothes were in. 1 spent nine weeks on the water. Sometimes it was just fine snd sometimes it wasn't so fine.
 The next day after l was at Norfolk. we went out to sea again. A new bunch has just come aboard. Now you know feed the fish. but they sure did l laughed till my sides hurt at the salty sailors.
 guess you would like to know where we were when we wern't travelling. We were at the place History speaks about so much - Yorktown, Va. The Government has a monument about 75 it. high. Then they have another one where Cornwallis surrender ed to Washington. And the old battle grcund-you never saw such a beautiful place. Corn wallis cave is still there. It sure did seem funny to see those places that 1 have read so much about. The first custom house that was ever built in America is there.
 We left Norfolk Saturday morning on a little old tub. It was a passenger boat. Had some soldiers on it. and they surely did get sick. We got on the train at Cape Charles. l don't know how many states We crossed but l sure saw some good looking country. We got here about dark. They called the roll, opened the gate ant said, go now. You know scatter. but we sure did. We got back this morning about 2 o'clock. Nearly all the boys have gone tonight. We can get liberty every night. and AS hours Saturday and Sunday.
 guess you would like to know what 1 am doing. 1 am a fireman ? class, and my pay is $41. % per month. You ought to see me when we coal ship. When we get through there is not a white man on tile ship. The only way you can tell an officer from a private is by his cap.
 1 have bought a Liberty Bond. Nearly everybody on the ship bought one.

THE BOURGEOIS

The word "bourgeoise" has been given several vary
ing applications, but until recently, when it was extended
in Russia to include the aristocrats, it has been generally
used to designate the great masses of what may be
called middle class people, those who have been given
neither poverty nor riches, but whose condition is be-
tween the two. Growing out Of this common use Of the
word has come the custom of using it to describe the
mental and moral traits which characterize people Of the
middle class.
The bourgeoisc have been the target for many a
sheer, and it cannot be denied that it has been possible
20 find in their ranks the SNUG conplacency and opposi-
Non to all change which, had they prevailed, would long
Mnce have caused the world to perish of dry rot. On
he other hand it is to the commonplace virtues of the
sourgeoise that the world owes most of it's solidity and
ecurity.
In every age men have here and there thrown OF
he shackles Of convention and found new truth by tray
Fling on new paths. But it has usually taken the bour-
yeoise to test these new discoveries, and often to use them
IN making working plans for the human race. The bour-
yeoise have their limitations, but the world could not get
along without them.

A Broadway street car conductor
was about to forbid a man carrying a

the bundle was so huge that the con-

deposited, his long parcel so promptly
at the far corner Of the platform that
the conductor hadn't the heart to re-
monstrate. This was at Thirty-third
street, opposite a department store.
At Forty-second street the passenger
shouldered his bundle and walked off.
He carried it to one of New York's

NO POPULAR REVOLUTION

We must not overlook the fact that there has been
no popular uprising in Germany, no revolution on the in
itiative of the people. Ebert. who has assumed charge of
that which passes for a government in Berlin, has talked
OF the new liberties which the German people have won
for themselves. The German people have won nothing.
They have not given any evidence that they desired to
win anything except the success of the armies by whose
means they had been promised extension of power, ex-
tension OF trade, and prosperity unprecedented.
The German armies were whipped, and the German
monarch ran away. That is exactly what happened. The
German people had nothing to do with it. 1t may be that
the kaiser ran because of his fear of popular anger. His
fear may have been warranted. In all probability he would
not have been lightly dealt with had he remained. But
the only estimate of the German attitude warranted by An
inspection of the ascertained facts is that popular dis
pleasure would have been manifested against the kaiser,
not because he had led them into a needless and wicked
war but because he had not been able to win.
The Germans will have, presently, a government that
is modern in form, professedly, at least, a democratic gov.
ernment. For that they will have to thank, not their own
courage or their own passion for freedom, but the mill.
tary proves and the unfaltering resolution of the Allies
The Germans are having a government, free in, form
forced upon them. What they will do with it remains to
be seen. Outside influences can govern forms, but the
the form Of freedom is vslueless.

NO SINKING OF SHIPS

The rumor that sprang into circulation some days
Ho that the sinking of the German fleet was advocated
by American delegatesrto the peace conference, and that
Me British authorities concurred in this view, is pune
Mred by the apparently authoritative statement that no
mch plan has been advocated by the American delegation
r will be approved by the president. The chances are
Mat the attitude of the British authorities will be found
70 have been similarly misrepresented.
Apparently the only fact which can serve as even
l flimsy foundation for an argument in favor of sinking
The German ships is that because Of certain fundamental
differences of construction those ships cannot be adapted
readily, and perhaps not at all, to the requirements of
any other navy. That fact, if it is a fact, lessons the
value of tho ships. But it does not by any means rem
der them worthless. Even if it should prove to be i'm
possible to use them for either naval or commercial pur-
poses, they contain some thousands of tons of good ma
terial which can be used in somebody's business.

PERMANENT CHRISTMAS TRfEs.

Washington, Dec. 24.-Why not the
permanent community Christmas
tree. is the question being asked many
times of the American Forestry asso-
citation which is urging memorial
trees for sailors and soldiers in the
world war.
In urging this, G.. p. WILDER, acting
state forester of New Jersey, says:
ITO do this will stimulate the get
together spirit locally by insuring an,
annual gathering in the holiday sea-
son because the tree will command
recognition as a temporary provision
fEom year to year may not. Origin
ally set with definite memorial pur-
pose. it will further emphasize in a
public way the recognition by its
planters and those who come after
them, Of the gratitude for loyal. pa
triotic service rendered in the crlcia!
period Of the nation and the wofld."
The American Forestry association
points out the great waste in setting
up community trees every Christmas
aid then throwing them away and
suggests that permanent planting be
adopted in suitable locations wher-
ever possible. The Memorial tree idea
is being adopted all over the country,
reports to the association show, and
being considered as the proper setting
for other forms Of memorial plans.

EVERYBODY HELPED

The boastful note is noticeably absent from state
ments made by responsible officers of the American
forces who were actually in the thick of the fighting.
AS a rule the private soldiers who were at or near the
front discuss the subject with commemorate modesty.
But occasionally, and usually from other sources, there IS
heard the sound of boasting, and with it some sighting
played in the war.
Instead Of the gigantic combat which has been in
progress for four years, and whose proportions are such
that the human mind cannot grasp them, let us suppose
a battle between two armies Of the size familiar to peo-
pie or a century ago. The forces are arranged in accord
ance with we'll known rules, and each has some thou
sands of men in reserve. The battle progresses until,
hard pressed, one general has been obliged to bring up
all his reserves, and his entire force is in action. Then.
his reserves, fresh and eager for the fray, and these men
turn the tide and the battle is won.
Would it be proper to say that the battalions com
prising the reserve won the battle? Decidedly not. The
ssinful use of these battalions by the commanding gen.
eral was the deciding factor, but it was as necessary that
the enemy should be hammered by the men who engaged
him earlier in the day as that his ranks should finallv
be broken by those who were called in at the last mo-
ment.
In the great war the American forces were the re-.
serves. The armies Of the other nations had fought hard
and we'll. They had been decimated in the struggle. bu.
too, they had administered terrible punishment to the
enemy. Then. when the right moment had come the
Americans were brought in, and they turned the scale
The war was won by no single group of men. 1t was won
and won gloriously, by all.
