 Somewhere in France, Aug. 20, 'lS. Dear Mother:
 We are safely snugged in France. I am feeling fine andn am glad to get to halt for awhile. Some trip! Mo- ther; I know you are glad to have a boy to help do our part in this great struggle. But mother, if you could only see these poor people over here you would be sorry that you had only one boy to give our Uncle Sam.
 All the little boys that can should CT gun are in line with a trench uniform on, helping to fight for great cause. The poor women and girls are doing railroad work such as flagmen do and section hands, and all other kinds of hard work that men heretofore had done. They live hard and don't have much to eat. They all treat us like kings.
 Mamma write me ofter for it takes so long for our mail to get here, Give my regards to MT. and Mrs. Williams and tell them to hug and kiss Vermelle for me.
 Your son,

Alleging that hundreds of negro women are refusing to work because they are able to live on allowances given them by the government through relatives being drafted, the Chamber of Commerce at Pine Bluff has started a move to have the "work or fight" order applicable to women as we'll as men. The allotments of $25 or more month causes many ne- gro women to refuse to work on the farms or as domestic servants. This state of affairs is the case, no doubt, all over the south, in all cities es- pecially.

Gold Won by Our Ships
Prosperity of Merchant Marine
~ Due to the War
Due to the War

200 per cent profit on her first voyage
to China, in 1916.
The Oriental, an American clipper
built in New York in 1849, to compete
with the English tea ships. earned
$4,000 in freight money on her first
cargo Of tea from Hong-KOng to Lon
don. Her cost was $4,000.
In the gold rush to California. In
1849 and 1850. many ships earned more
than their value in a single voyage.
Demand for space regulated the charge
for carrying freight, as 1t does now,
and the top price reached was $50 q
ton.
At this rate the ship Samuel Rus
sell earned $4,000 in freight money
on one voyage-more than her cost.
Some Of the charters made In the
earlier period Of the war for Ameri-
can vessels were on such a liberal
basis that the freight money for a
single voyage to Archangel. for exam
pie, paid for the ship making the voy-
age, q condition to be looked for, say
the experts, in times Of abnormal de-
mand for cargo space.
