The daily star-mirror. (Moscow, Idaho) 1911-1939, 1918-11-05

Jis composed of hotels and barber
shops and big Casino, which is now
la Y. M. C. A. where they have
canteen and put on vaudeville and
dances.
''The main diversion there is to
CLIMB what the French call mountains
4 but which are nothing but ant-hills
compared to the Rockies or Cascades,
You could go with big party in a
wagon with Y NJ G. A. guide or
you get little donkey and cart or
| you could walk I hadn't lost any
scenery up there any place SO | didn't
go on any of their mountain trips.
| went up on top of one hill tho, but
rode up in a cog. CARE They call |
| it the 'Funicular' road whatever that
means.
"The hotel we stayed at was very
good. A French bed has no equal;
they are about three feet thick, feath-
ers and silk | played that / was
wounded and couldn't get out of bed |
in the mornings A French break
fast is nix anyway. | had one the
first morning | was there, two sar-
dimes, a piece of punk. and a cup of
chocolate. After that | used to sleep
until almost dinner time. The other
meals were very good but breakfast
is just ceremony.
We had cute little French made
moiselles waiting on US and we felt
very much at ease. Real millionaire
style you know. The hotel is head
quarters of the aero club of France,
and the English Cyclists and Auto
Club. Rather sporty, what?
t'(Will finish this tomorrow, it is
time to turn in now.)
Here l am again. Just finished
Inner
swell we stayed in the town seven
lays and then left for home, via
Paris. Arrived in Paris early in the
morning with just seventeen francs
n my government jeans. 1t seems
unny to me that every time | hit
town l arrive broke. | had exactly
eventeen francs and about twelve
ours in which to spend it.
'sThe cheapest thing we could find
0 do was to walk, so we did the
act and took in as much
f the beautiful scenery as is pos
lble in a short space of time.
The first thing l spotted was the
re de Triomphe, built by Napoleon.
e shouldn't have anything on me, :
lerefore / walked in under it couple liz
times and came to the conclusion s!
lat Old Nap had good idea for n n
eauty and originality. The Arc de 81
is at the top of the Avenue Il
hamps Elysees and you can look n
,wn the Avenue and see Cleopatra's 81
eedle and The Louvre. You no uE
,ubt have read about those places n 4
French history. The Louvre is ST
ry beautiful piece of architecture, llE
was started by some king, whose III IN
me l can't recall, and was finished 5T
grand style by The Little Cor G5E
ral' All the famous old paintings III
Rembrandt and Van. Dyke, ETC., I'D
ere kept there until the war started, "
nen they were moved to places of III
fety. El
"Other places of historical interest S5fd
lich we saw were the Place of the ~
lstile, Eiffel Tower and Place de la III

Zone cannot begin to describe the IS
auty of the place, it has to be seen 0e
be appreciated. If ever get IN
ance am going to spend about 56
lr months in that village. / can ~
adily see now why the French ~
light SO valiantly to keep the Huns 4f]

We'll, such is war. l am now back 11
the job, and ready for fight or S@
ything else that might come up. Us
