Former Leader Employe Says He Will
Not Bring French Maiden Home

they are far ways behind the times.
The French say they are up-to-date,
and the Americans are ahead of the
times, and from the aspect of condi
tions, it certainly must be true.
There are several hundred Or more
German prisoners here, also Russians,
Austrians, Chinese and Algerians, not
to speak of the Americans, French
and English, so you see one here is
thrown into contact with people from
all over the whole world. This is some
shipping port for various kinds of
supplies, and one of the leading coal
shipping points in France. There are
also several large shipbuilding plants
here. They have already begun ships
under the name of president Will
son." Sammy" and Gen. Pershing." J"
All French people as a whole are
most respectful to an American SOL
dier, and some of the children are
quite adept in learning some English.
I can't say that l can ever regret
this trip. 1t is one of the greatest
things that has ever happened to me in
my life. And if possible am, after
the war, going to try to get a leave of
absence over here for few months
to enable me to see and learn more. I
have seen quite bit of both France
and England, but have not seen some
of the parts that particularly interest
me.
One strange thing about northern
France is, so the natives tell me, that
the fruit trees bear only every other
year. Fruits and vegetables we are
used to getting in the early spring do
not ripen or mature until August and
September. l arrived in August, and
that month was nothing like l have
been used to, as it was much colder
so cold that early mornings and late
evenings an overcoat was quite COM

sure and let me hear from you when

AT THE ROYAL, TUESDAY;
BOTH MATINEE AND NIGHT
For the Freedom of the Word;" the Greatest Pat.
riotc Drama Ever Screened

The most brilliant, spine-thrilling
patriotic drama ever made into a mo-
ton picture-a picture to challenge
the pride and the conscience of all
humanity.
Thousands of men organizing and
drilling to fight the battle of civiliza-
ton. Thousands of men marching
away to the front and into the jaws of
death.
Before your very eyes nations band
ing together in a blood brothership
against common enemy.
Heroes and towards transformed
into supermen of gigantic courage
walking and scurrying into a living
hell of shells and fumes to bring in
the wounded from artillery-rake1
plains.
Women showing their bravery in
the home and at the camps; women
living through the inferno of battle
to nurse and stimulate their men
to victory; women risking certain
death to be near the men they love.
And the arrival of the Stars and
Stripes on the battlefront in France
in a climax that brings audiences up
to their feet with cheers
These are the exciting things you
see in Edwin Bower Hesser's inspir-
ing photo-panorama, "FCR THE
FREEDOM OF THE WORLD"
Throughout its eight remarkable
reels you hear the tread Of laundering
feet marching along the roads to glo-
ry, in defense OF their blood brothers
your home, you who have watched
your closest friends depart-here is
honor and the rights Of civilization.
You who fly the service flag before
the living picture of the life that Am
erica's youth has been leading in
training camps, in transports, behind
the front-in the very trenches them
selves.
First the t.1nin~ amps. You sc
Americans learning the art oS war
for the first time in a generation. You
see five thousand men charging
trench-the rush and sweep of the at
tack, the race up specialIy-built in
clines of board and dirt. You see
them leap the baFbed wire, and bayo-
net the mimic enemy on the other
side. And then dig in"
Hand grenade practice, setting-up
drills, gas attack, star-shell practice,
aerial defense-all that you see.
And then-these grim and terrible
lessons are put into practice in sober,
deadly earnest on the fre-swept bat
tlefields of France before your very
eyes. The heroism of it is the hero
ism of actually.

Mr.. l.. L. Lucas,
Tarpon Springs, Fla.
Dear Sir and Friend:
Just received your letter of the 9th
ult. Was very glad to hear from you,
and hope this will find you all well,
happy, and The Leader progressing
nicely.
This leaves me just fine. I am hav-
ing big time and am happy, as any
one could be under the circumstances.
The Y. M. C. A. here has some kind
of an entertainment every day and
evening, also trip to some point of
interest each day.
[ am at present with the railroad
transportation company, and am we'll
pleased with my work. The only work
I have to do is clerical, and l always
did like that class of work the best,
with the exception of the printing
trade.
We have had some very unpleasant
weather here the past week or so, the
tide from the English channel rising
to depth of 40 to so feet, which you
know is some extremely high tide
The channel is said to be a piece of
the toughest water in the world.
wish it was so I could write and
tell you just what wanted to, but, as
you know, that is quite impossible,
for it would not pass the censor.
We are quartered in the French bar
racks here, which is built of stone, and
is very comfortable; in fact, as much
so as if | were back in the states; but,
as you know, we would much rather
be back in the states where we would
not have to "parle vous Francois" so
much.
As for bringing home a French
maiden, don't think so! Why, you
will know later, but can tell you that
it positively will not do. There sure
are some very pretty and attractive
ones here, all right, and some that
none could be ashamed of. l hear
that there are lots of our boys mar
rying over here, but so far none that
| have known personally.
Some good French lady has pre-
sented through the Y. M. C. A. to the
American army a real, live monkey,
and, believe me, he is causing us no
end of fun. We have as our mascot a
small black dog and have been trying
to get them acquainted with each 9th
er. 1t looks as if one was afraid and
the other glad of it.
The French people here as a whole
seem to be quite intelligent, but, my,
