Somewhere In France.
Nov. 18th, 1917.
Friend Henry:-I am here in
France now; | have been here
over six weeks and like the coun-
try and people very well. They
are very friendly and seem to be
glad the American BOYS are here.
France is a very nice country,
but give me the old U. S. tor
mine When we landed in Scot
land we got the best reception
we ever had or ever expect to get;
also got hearty reception in
England and France-and we
won't forget it. Most of the
boys are learning French and
learn 1t fast, as every French
man and especially the girls
want them to learn. There are
not very many omobiles here
running on account of saving
fue land they are mostly Fords.
Biplanes, monoplanes and air
planes are thick. We see more
planes here every day than we
see Fords around Eagle River
and Three Lakes. | saw one
fall the other day, however the
aviator was not hurt very badly,
but the machine was reduced to
scraps. See movies occasionally
and they are mostly American
films. A week ago our soldiers
marched with the French to hold
memorial services for the French
who died during the war. The
parade was on for four hours
and was impressive. There are
some very impressive scenes here
-one is an old cathedral built in
the year 100 and it is in good
condition, although the outside
is showing decay. Part of the
church was destroyed during the
French revolution together with
many rare paintings. Also very
old castles still to be seen much
older. Well Henry, l like it here
and getting along fine.

over the head with such good effect
that they precipitately fled for the
gate. A mile down the road one Of the
tramps stopped running and sObbingiy
dropped beneath a tree.
"Why, Percy" exclaimed the other,

SENATOR T|LLMAN NEAR
DEATH, FRIENDS BELIEVE
Hope for His Recovery Abandoned
by Members Of Family; Had
Cerebral Hemorrhage.

Hope for the recovery of Senator
Tillman of South CAROLINA, chairman
OF the naval affairs committee, who suf
fered cerebral hemorrhage. virtually
was abandoned today by members Of his
family and friends at the bedside. The
end was believed to be a matter of only
a few days at most and possibly only
few hours away.
Since yesterday Senator Tillman has
been unconscious. He remains in a
comatose condition, and although his
heart continues strong other conditions
were said to be unfavorable. Most of
the members Of the senator's family
have arrived in Washington.
Senator Tiilman has been suffering
from severe recurrent cerebral hem
orrhage since last Thursday, when he
was stricken while at the Capitol.
About ten years ago the senator had
right side, but he recovered to
great extent. The latest attack COM
pletely paralyzed his left side. and.
with advanced years and less physical
resistance, hope of his recovery was
abandoned.
AS chairman of the Senate naval
committee Mr.. Tillman's work has
been regarded as Of the highest i'm
portance, especially in connection
with the Navy's part in the war. He
has been one of the most active mem
bers of the Senate during his twen-
ty-four years of continuous service.
