| Thursday evening.
We take pleasure in publishing the
following letter from Reinhold Ul-
brick, to his parents, Mr. and Mrs.
August Ulbrick:
Somewhere in France, March s, '18.
Beloved Parents:
Well l got back from Paris Mon
day night and will begin to write let
! tiers, also have some washing to do.
| Well l struck bad weather while in
Paris and the sun never shone. It
wasn't cold but Friday afternoon it
began to snow and showed every night
since until last night. Left Friday ev-
ening at o'clock and got to Paris
Saturday morning at about o'clock
I stayed at the Y. M. C. A. which was
the hotel pavilion and a very nice
place. Ate breakfast at the Y. and
then went and registered. Then I
went and sent Dora a box and also
a message. Had diner and then went
to the Invalides where some of the
captured guns and trophies of war
are kept. 1t used to be the old SOL
diers' home and a very big place. AL
SO Napoleon's tomb and chapel are
there. I went to the Eiffel tower and
| l.
had ride on. Then we came by the
national exposition building that was
built in 1900. Was at the Orleans
| railroad station then I went to the Y.
M. C. A. and had supper. After sup
per the American star actress Miss
Elsie Janis, gave us little program
and 1 enjoyed it very much I was
very tired but visited with boys of
| orr 0crin re nd cd
Cross workers who were American
girls. 1t was II o'clock before I got
to bed, being up Friday morning un-
til Saturday night. I paid nearly Sc
to send that box home and $3.50 for
message to Dora. Sunday morning
I woke up at 9, had breakfast and
then to the Notre Dame Cathedral to
Mass at 10, and to the Pantheon where
the great men of France are buried,
also saw some fine paintings hung
there. Was in the tomb where Vol
taire and Victor Hugo are buried.
Saw a gold wreath that was a present
of the Car of Russia. I don't know
what history many more of those
things had attached to them. Had
dinner and went by the Invalides but
it was closed I intended going to
the Versailles but owing to the wealth
! er conditions no one was allowed in
there. It was there where the king
built the big palace that bankrupted
France. Went to the Invalides again
and saw all the flags that were cap
tured from the Germans. Had my
hand on the casket that brought Ma
polion from st. Helena. Also saw the
hearse. Saw a swell painting in the
chapel where Napoleon is buried.
Walked back up town and came &C
ross the famous big bridge just op-
posite the large and small palaces,
then we walked over the square to
the church of st. Magdalene which
has the finest music in France. Then
we walked UP to the opera square,
down Rue De Italiens and Rue Bonnie
Novversil where I had supper. Co
ing back to the Y. NJ c. A wrote sew
eral cards and saw the Arch of Tri-
omph and most all of those big stat

cry, at least for this season. The ac-
ton was taken by the Union at a

While Mr.. John MEME was attend

day evening his team that was tied
in the shed near the church broke
loose and backing out upset the rig
and went up the street at mad gal
Top, upsetting Geo. Liebfried's buggy
and frightened Yves Longmeier's
team SO it ran away. His team was
stopped before getting away very far
but Menne's team kept on their mad
pace toward POtOsi village. The box
of the rig came off near Pluemer's
blacksmith shop and the running
gear was left at a hickory tree near
Yves Hymer's gate. The horses were
finally stopped by parties in the vii
lage of Potosi. With light damage to
Mr.. Liebfried's buggy and the demol-
ishing of Mr.. Menne's buggy no other
damage was done.

RARE AS A JUNE DAY.

When grandchildren demand an an
swer to James Russell Lowells in
query, What is so rare as a day in
June?" grayheads will nod wisely and
grandfather will reply something like
this: "My child, 1 remember a Sun
day in March, 1918, (the 17th,) which
proved to me at least as rare as any
June day 1 have ever known. The
sun shone as bright and the air was
balmy. The only difference of note
was that the trees lacked their green
leaves.-Ft. Atkinson Union.

As all the nerves center in the brain, so all the
activities of this nation more and more will center
and find their representation here.
-
Here will be fought today the great war of the
battIefields, for democracy.
. And here will be fought, tomorrow, the other
war that is coming, the great war for industrial
supremacy throughout the world, one in which
not as enemies, but as brothers, the nations will
compete.
Who would dare set limit to the greatness of
this City, chief among the cities of this Continent,
and greatest among the capitals of the World9
The most conservative mind sees here within
the near future one that in population will be
among the worlds great cities, one that in import
ance, beauty, breadth of plans, and magnficence
of construction will be the worlds first city.
Here will reside permanently the earth's
greatest power.
Here will be built the great official palaces in
which the worlds most important work and this
nations full directing will be done. And about
those palaces of mental power will rise thousands
of new homes for the new, greater ever-groWing
Washington.
The eyes of the world are turned toward this
city. 1t is the workshop and the brain of the
United States.
The hope of struggling democracy turns to-
ward the Capitol on the hill.
And this is the wish with which men great
and small those newly come to the city and those
long established here, greet 1918 and the Washing
ton of after years.
From here, may the sacred name of Peace
soon be spoken to the world, after complete vic
tory.
May this City, and every individual that
makes up its power, prove worthy of Washing
tons opportunity, greatness and growth.
To the world early and permanent peace.
And to the nation prosperity that justice and
unselfiSh devotion deserve.
To the Washington of yesterday, the greater
Washington of today, and the great Capital City
of tomorrow, life as long and glorious as that of
the nation.
May it be life built upon the rock, upon the
sure foundation of justice, service, devotion to the
highest ideals in civic life in national life, in social
life and in commercial life.
To be found worthy, that is the eternal wish.
