We miss sweets and pastries, etc,
dreadfully. We can get some Of it,
! but it is frightfully high. A package
OF dates costing sc over there cost 40
cents here; small bar of very poor
milk chocolate costs a franc to | 1-2
francs
Our week days are filled with rou-
tine from morning to supper time, af-
ter which we study French for two
ihours, and military lectures by French
officers. Weare so tired when we
turn in that we have no trouble hunt
around for sleep, We are thoroughly
accustomed now to the booming Of
cannon and the buzz Of aeroplanes
and pay very little attention TO it,
/ went to mass Sunday morning at
80 and never was SO mystifed III
my life. l thought I had some com
prehcnsion Of the right thing to DO at
the right time The church was filled
with America soldiers and French
woner, and we stood up when the Wo-
men sat and kneeled when they got
up; it was 50 different from our SER
vice. They take up a collection but
once q month which ] presume is on
accountpf the war. Then then strang-
est thing of al was during mass they
pass bread around for every one in
the church and, needless to say, we
boys did not know what to do. We
wondered if we were receiving holy
communion without going to confos-
sion but we concluded we would take
the tread and later we learned it
was customary for everyone to break
their fast together. It is pitifrl TO
look about the church Sunday morn
ing and see all the dear good women
in black, few wearing colors, and
it is plainly seen that the strain of the
war has told on them. They all be-
heve France will win and make Germ
any pay heavily for her sins. Be
ieve me, sincerely hope we al have
little whack a her TO make her feel
more the horrible crime she has COM
mitted. You are here but a few mo
ments when you are inocculated with
fierce hatred for Germany.
Your cigarettes were God-send
to al the boys whom l divided with,
will not be hurt if you send more.
Our captain is entirely out Of the al
lotment he brought over.
Also, Mother dear, we say God
bless the Red Cross for all of our
boys. I suppose we officers would
have hadfull and plenty were it net
for the work that you succeeded in
getting from the Red Cross and the
great kindness Of Mrs. Charles Dawes
and your good friends. l may have
had to see my men suffer instead Of
being fairly comfortable.
| must now close, my dears, with
all the love in the world to the best
father and mother boy ever had.
Your loving son,
! EDWARD.

RED CROSS ARD GOV GRNMENT

The article below, from today's
Saturday Evening Post, answers a
question that is repeatedly asked:
why doesn't the Government do
it," is question you sometimes hear
concerning the work Of the Ameri-
can Red Cross.
The answer is: Because tAe Red
Cross can do it much better than the
Government could"
II can DO it more cheapiy. 4 large
part of the personal services for the
Red Cross are performed by unpaid
volunteers Chairman Dawson re-
Gently declared that ten million peo-
pie were working for the Red Cross
without pay.
The Red Cross is much more fiexi-
ole agency than the Government can
be. It had no real organization in
Italy when the Italian armies WERE
suddenly disIod@ed and driven back
TO the Piave last fall. Some thous-
and5 Of families in the evacuated ter
ritory fled from their homes. 4
hurried summons brought the Euro
pean chief Of the American Red
Cross to the scene with aids. hmm
diately the Red Cross was picking ur
the children who had been separated
from their mothers getting helpless
families under shelter, providing food.
Three million dollars was spent TO
meet that unforeseen need.
shat would be fairly impossible for a
government. For example every of
icer and agent Of the French govern
ment will gladly assist the Red Cross
to help and find a mutilated French
soldier or a destitute French family.
The French Government might have
some qualms about accepting charity
from the Americas Government. No
question Of National pride or of pol
itics comes up when the Red Cross is
concerned. Everywhere it is re-
ceived without reservation as a
friend.
The American public subscribed a
hundred million dollars 10 the Red
Gross last summer. Our Government
might easily have appropriated that
sum for the work. It would have
been lest in the mass of war appro-
priations and meant nothing in par
ticular to anybody. It would have
been merely SO much impersonal,
| Of one per cent Of the Governmnt's s
total war appropriations it would
| have looked meagre and lifeless
| Freely subscribed by the people the
money is warm with human sympa-
thy. France, Italy, Poland see it not
as bookkeeping entry made by the
United States but as the generosity
| Of fellow creatures. It palpabls
means that to US. The American
Cross can do it much better than the
| Government could.

nous English beauty in her newest
World-Picture Brady Made ''Dia-
monds and Pearls" Of course, every
one Of them is right up to the min
ute in smartness. Every woman will
want to see these gowns and learn
from them the trend Of the present
day fashions. Kitty Gordon is always
not alone right up to the minute in
style, but is just little ahead.
Diamonds and Pearls" is what
the title would indicate, a drama of
high society life, of brilliantly gown
ed women, and Of wealth. But it is
not this phase of life alone that is
depicted in this ultra-successful dra-
ma. We also see the workaday world
with handsome young surveyor in
camp and on the job doing his bit
toward getting a great railroad laid
in virgin country.
The story is of Violetta D'Arcy, a
beautiful young girl, who preferred
| riches to love and who married a
wealthy man in preference to the
young hustler whom she loved. But
even though her husband was i'm
mensely wealthy, the strain of the wal
and Violetta's heavy extravagances
made such dent in his fortune that
| Violetta was forced to seek othe,
and methods of securing the money
necessary for paying her gambling
| debts and her bills.
| Diamonds and Pearls" is a thor
oughly fascinating attraction. See
it next Saturday night at the A. G. G
Theatre, Bay St, Louis, Miss,

Does our school look like a hotel,
lunch room, pri. ate nome, or the
like? A tramp on Wednesday after
noon knocked at the back door of the
mathematics room ari asked for
something to eat. We had nothing
but algobras, geometrias and a few
business arithmetics, bat they are
rather hard to digest.
