Dear Mrs. Logan:
l received all of the packages,
including the cake, and believe
me, it sure was fine. A fellow
certainly appreciates something
like that when he is so far away
from homo, and l don't know how
TO thank you enough for what you
sent me, so I'm not going to try.
1t made me little homesick at
first, but soon got over it again.

some of the candy that Pearl sent

little that way too. He said THAT

the same thing myself, for it sure
was good.
Missouri Valley had three rep
resentatives in Paris the 9Th, 9TH
and 9Th of December, and we
sure had some time, too. We
we're all through the Palace of
Versailles. 1t sure is pretty
place. 1t was built by Louis XIV.
The father of the present kaiser
was crowned in this palace.
stood in the very same place that
he stood when he was crowned.
Some distinction, Ell? The gar
den around the palace is simply
great, with all of its fountains
and statues. I'm going to wait
until | get back to tell you all
about it, as it would take too long
iEI were to write it, and I'd prob
ably get writer's cramp before
got through. We were also out
to Eiffel tower, whichlis the high
est tower in the world, being 935
feet high. This is also the larg-
est wireless station in the world.
From there we went to what is
called the "Invalides. This is
where Napoleon's tomb is, but
there are just certain hours that
they will allow people to enter the
tomb, and as luck would have it,
we got there when it was closed.
But we saw the captured war
trophies, such as aeroplanes, diff
ferent kinds of guns, tanks, and
also the Zeppelins that the
French captured from the Ger
mans the time they tried to raid
Paris. saw the Ace of Aces
machine there also. Probably
T you remember, reading where he
4 got killed about three months ago.
/ But I had seen it once before.
4 saw him at an aviation filed just
I the day before he.was killed. He
had a string of medals clear
across his chest. We also saw
the monument erected by the
school children of the United
States in memory of General La
fayette, and we crossed over the
River Seine, also under it.
Now guess have told you the
most important part of our trip to
Paris, although the city itself is
beautiful.
We Jared pretty we'll for
Thank sgiving dinner. We had
turkey. suppose we will have a
big feed Christmas, too, but
don't know what il, will be yet.
I wrote Dode a letter this eve
ming and am also sending her a
present that happened to run
across while in Paris. I hope she
gets them both all right, for
know it will tickle her. The sta
tionery that Ruth sent came in
handy, for l was clear out. am
using it now, as you can see, and
it seems like home to get some
chewing gum again.
Well, Mrs. Logan. I have writ
ten about all there is to write
about, SO will close, with best
wishes for a Merry Christmas and
Happy New Year to all.

Our return trip was the most
exciting of all. We sighted two
periscopes about SO hours from
an American naval base in France,
where we had disembarked our
troops.
am sorry that the kit did not
reach a soldier to whom it was
addressed, but can assure you
that the appreciation is just as
great as his might have been. 1t

greater mass of people in this

Washington, Dec. 31.-Unless a

that will make certain the limitation
OF international armament is estab-
lished, the United States must build
the greatest navy in the world, Sec
retary Daniels today told the house
naval committee.
1T Is my. firm conviction" de-
clared the secretary, that IL the
conference at Versailles does not
result in a general agreement to put
an end to naval building on the part
of all the nations, then the United
States must bend her will and bend
her energies, must give her men and
give her money to the task Of the
creation OF incomparably the great
est navy in the world"
With the completion of the pro.
posed new three-year building pro-
gram, adding 10 dreadnaughts, siz
battle cruisers. 10 scout cruisers and
1SO smaller craft to the fleet. Amer
ica still will rank second in naval
strength to Great Britain, said the
secretary. who appeared before the
committee to make his final recon-
mendations for the 1920 naval bill
which the committee is considering
Does the president back the pol
icy to make us the first naval power
in the world?" asked Representative
Kelly OF Michigan.
"Yes, IL competitive building is t.
continue" said Mr.. Daniels. 1--WE
are now easily the second naval pow
er, but this program will not make
the first"
