From a Friend in France.
.Bv Harry Emerson Focdick.

By Harry Emerson Focdick.
In this war we have accepted many
things that were strange and revolu-
tionary, but nothing much more novel
than the place of woman at the front
and Immediately behind it. Women,
as has been said more than once, have
always followed armies, shameful
group of lamentable attaches. But
our armies are being followed by our
best womanhood, splendid company
of nurses and canteen workers, with
the Y. NJ. C. A. and Red Cross, and
thousands of others, too, who, unable
to fight like their brothers with the
same spirit of devotion are telc-
oraphers, telephone operators, ste
nographers, and, by multitudes, mu-
milton workers.
The average American, thinking OF
these women overseas, takes them
for granted as he would the army.
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1918-11-05

They are there-God bless them!--
But one who has lived in France sees
that they cannot be taken for granted
and left thus to the mercy OF acci-
dental circumstance. They constitute
a problem as we'll as an asset. Where
are they to live? Under what cond;-
tions? With what opportunity for
normal rest and recreation? Can any
one with any ina oination once face
the question and not feel its magni-
tude?
France neither in her hotels, her
public recreations, nor, deeper yet, in
her customs Of family life and her at
titude toward woman was in the least
prepared for this invasion of .Ameri-
can girls and this aggregation in hef
munition factories of her ewa unat-
tached womanhood One has only 70
live in France a little while to see
what homely, practical meanings that
sentence suggests.
| can bear testimony, therefore, tc
the necessity of the Y. W. C. A. III
France. and as we'll to the effective
ministry which it is rendering. 1t IS
not easy to be a nurse overseas. X
is a hard, gruelling experience. And
when in the great hospital towns or
far from any town, l have seen
! the Y. w. C. A. club rooms, / have
always found much needed haven Of
refreshment and recuperation for the
nurses. A quiet, often very beautiful,
always homelike room, a place of re-
fuge from the sight of agony and the
monotony of work-these Y. w. C. A.
headquarters are an unemitigate1
blessing. There are books and maga-
zines, music, comfortable chairs; there
is hostess who looks like home:
there is chance for stimulating ad-
dresses-all of which no army can take
care to provide for its women, and
which without the Y. W. C. A. would
not be there at ALL
Moreover, in the cities like Paris
the plight of American women WORK
ing at thousand tasks, sometimes
transient, sometimes permanent, might
well be most embarrassing. But to
have hotel, or more than one, run
by the Y. w C. A. for English-speak-
ing workers with our forces and to
have that hotel run with the home
touch of American women made evi-
dent in countless little ways-perhaps
nc one WHO has seen the situation
can understand how great boon that
! is. If T had a daughter overseas ]
should want the Y. w. C. A. to be
somewhere near. And the least 1 can
say is this, that having seen the
nurses clubs and the hotels which the
Y. w. C. a. is running in many places

In Loving Remembrance of Little
Ulys Brunson Harmon.

Little Ulys Brunson Harmon was
born July Is, 1915, and departed this
life October II, 1918, making his
short stay on earth three years, two
months and twenty six days. He
leaves to mourn his death, a mother,
father, four brothers, three sisters,
and many friends and relatives.
Darling Brunson he has gone.
To his bright and heavenly home
Oh. how we miss our dear ones
smiling face,
Sad and lonely is his home since lit
tie Brunson has gone,
His place can never more be filled,
His little crib is empty now,
His little clothes are laid to rest
His mothers and fathers hope and
JOY
In deaths cold arms do lie.
Through his short hours of suffer
ing he never murmured, he bore 1t
patiently. And when the angel OF
death came he smiled a sweet smile
and passed into the arms of his
Savior.
Another little darling lamb has gone
With fresh roses in his hand,
To dwell with his Savior
On that bright and happy shore.
Another little darling babe
Is sheltered in the grave,
God needed one more angel child
Amidst his shining band.
So he bent with loving smile
And clasped our darling Brunson's
hand
Yet again we hope to meet him
On that bright and happy shore.

My Dear Sis
Your letter of interest came a few
days ago, and oh, how much I did
appreciate hearing from you again
1 had begun to think that I wouldn't
hear from you soon. l have been
getting along just as well as if I had
been at home, since I came over
here. Yes I wish that I could have
been with you when you were out
looking over the country. I think
could have enjoyed myself just as
we'll as l did when we were over
there together. I have often thought
of the little walk since I came over
here.
Yes. I often hear from my girl.
She writes me every week. so yor
see that l can hear from her about
every week. and in fact ! do hea'
from her almost every week. And
you know that means the world to
me and of course she says that my
letters mean much to her. You ask
me if it was hot over here. No it
isn't near so hot here as it is where
you live. 1 am sleeping under four
blankets, so you see that it isn't so
hot after ALL I haven't been hot this
summer, in fact, it doesn't seem as
we have had summer yet. But |
guess it will all be made up this
winter with cold weather. They say
it gets very cold here in winter, But
think we have plenty Of everything
to keep US warm for winter. I cant
tell you where I am as you ask me to
This would be contrary to regula-
tions. I can tell you that I am haT-
ing all want to eat and good place
to sleep every night. I wish I could
have seen you when you came out
of the garden. I wish that could
have been with you. / am sure we
would have found something good TO
eat. You ask me what kind of work
7 did. I am Sgt. for my company. and
to tell you just what I do,
guess about the biggest job I have
is eating I stay around the kitchen
and see that everything is cooked
right and eat in line. In other words
T am running boarding house, about
all the difference I can see I don't
have to buy my groceries.
Do you ever hear from Walter or
any of our people at home. I haven't
heard from any of them since I came
over here. I do hear from Ola a.
most every week The last letter
that I had from her she said that
about all the girls were getting mar
ried around home. :. But you know
that doesn't worry me, when I have
already made my selection else
where. So you see that ! don't have
little thing like this to think about.
But she did tell me of two or three
that I was surprised to hear Of them
being married, and I don't believe
they could have married SO easy in
peace times. I have always heard
that there was some one fer every
one, and now I believe it. Give Aunt
Sock and all my best regards. If you
see Aunt Lucy tell her that I wrote
her about three months ago but
haven't heard form her but guess
she hasn't time to write. must close
for this time with lots of love to you.
