about four p. m. and the last of the
Germans pulled out a couple Of hours
before got there.
The French civilians crowded around
me, shook hands and were awfully glad
to see me. I am able to speak to them
a little In German CT can speak
French yet), and most of them under
stood at least part of what I had to
say, as the HUN had been there since
August, 1914. They were awfully glad
they were gone.
Most of the citizens had good sup
ply of French and United States flags,
which they waved at me as T went by.
One man took me to his house to
stay all night, and fed me what they
had. They haven Il had meat for four
years, and all the food they did get
was from the Americans. They had
Libby's condensed milk, and coffee
from the United States. Our supper
consisted Of potatoes, bread, cheese and
coffeej breakfast, bread and coffee.
They will be all right now, as we will
soon be able to furnish them with good
food and fresh beef.
I am going on another reconnais-
sance tomorrow morning early. I ex-
pect to be gone for three days, and
am taking blankets, food, etc, along
with me in my Ford.
My orderly, fortunately is French
man, who is in the United States army.
He viii come in handy when I reach
French towns tomorrow.
| hope you won IT worry any more
about me, because now there is no
danger. It is true the armistice is not
peace, but the Germans can Il do any
thing any moreover if they want to.
The terms Of the armistice are moth
ing less than unconditional surrender.
I hope they won't be easy on them
when it comes to making the peace
treaty. I can see already that they
are working for sympathy.
When went out on my trip yester-
day, I met six Englishmen, three
Frenchmen, two italians, and about
eighteen hundred Russian prisoners
marching back to our lines. The
Huns had turned them loose, and told
them to get.
I believe the ban on giving informa-
tion will be lifted soon, and if it is, I
win be able to tell you where I am at,
and possibly give you lot of inter
esting information.
I am feeling fine and have every
thing I need and WANT

Books ! Needed For
Men in Hospitals
Every Public Library a Receiving sta
tion for Gifts Of Reading Matter,
Says Herbert Putnam.

"There are tens of thousands of
wounded men in our army hospitals and
every returning transport and hospital
ship brings more thousands. Many of
these men will be in hospitals fol
months, some Of them for a year or
more, before they are sufficiently recov-
cred to be discharged from the army.
"These men need books. They need
books more than they need almost
anything else except surgical care
and nursing
Herbert Putnam, librarian of Con-
gress, who is general director of the
Library War Service of the Ameri-
can Library Association, thus directs
attention to an opportunity for service
that is open to everyone. For the
books that are needed for our men in
hospitals and those in camps awaiting
rehabilitation are the books that
are. on the book shelves of almost
every American home.
"What these men need in reading
matter is good current fiction said
DIR. Putnam. ssThe American Library
Association has supplied and is supply
ing technical and educational books by
thousands to meet the insistent de-
mands of our men in uniform for that
class Of reading matter. These books
have to be bought, and almost all of
the funds available for the Associa-
ton Is Library War Service are requir-
ed for this purpose and fors the main
tenance Of the service.
'HFor fiction and general literature
we have to depend largely on gifts from
the public. Since last spring more than
three million gift books have been
placed in the hands of our soldiers and
sailors. Books wear out, and these
books have been widely scattered among
the camps on this side and overseas, so
now we have no reserve supply of good
fiction to draw on for the pressing need
of the moment, which is in the hospi-
tails and the rehabilitation camps.
"Every good recent book that can
be spared from anyone s personal book
shelf will find its way quickly into
the hands of some soldier or sailor who
needs mental relaxation and recreation
if It is taken or sent at once to the
nearest public library. Every public
library in the United States is a re-
ceiving station for Library War serv-
ice and books received are forwarded
as speedily as possible to the hospitals
and rehabilitation camps.
"There is no better way to make a
Christmas gift to the men who have
been wounded in our service than to
give books. =
A shipment of books will be sent
from Gilbert M. Simmons Library on
December goth. Any one wishing to
send a recent book to the boys III
service please see that it reaches the
library not later than Wednesday, De-
cember 18th. Let this be your Christ
mas gift to the boys over there.

Pathetic Story of
Old French Couple

Son Fought Four Years Through the
War and had not a Scratch Until Just
Before Peace Armistice was Killed.
In describing the pride and patriot
ism of the French people, the brilliancy
and bravery with which they have
conducted their campaign in the great
world war just closed and the spirit Of
fortitude with which they have borne
the losses of their dear ones who fell
in battle, Hon. Frank NJ. Hoyt, Of
Milwaukee, who delivered an able adj
dress before the Men 8 Club of st.
Matthews church Tuesday night read
a letter from his daughter who is
Red Cross nurse In France.
Miss Hoyt, who is a fine French schol-
ar had become acquainted with an old
French couple and had been on such
intimate terms with them that she cali
led them "Grandpere'' and Grand
mere" She had made frequent visits
to the home and the following letter
tells on one of those visits;
''Next we took taxi and went out
to see Grand mere and Grand 'pere and
oh my heart most broke there. They
were both sitting in the dear little
kitchen, SO changed and so istless.
Three days ago they received news Of
their son Is death. He had just been
home on leave and had never looked
better. Had just been made captain,
had been cited for bravery, received
the Croix de Guerre. He had returned
to the front and two days later was
killed and that news came at the time
of the peace rumor. He had fought all
four years. Grand mere and Grand'-
pere were wonderfully brave, but so
crushed, so heartbroken. The little
shop and all it contained looked so
little, so forlorn, that [ longed to pick
it all up in my arms and comfort it.
I will go over again soon and take
Grand mere some flowers and try to
say something that win help her,
though of course one cannot help out a
think like that. Speaking of pride or
patriotism is all very wei, but Grand
mere g mothers heart is what is hurt.
As I left Grand 'pere came and shook
hands with me very nicely, very cour-
teously, and then stood in the doorway
looking down the street, perfectly quiet
as he SO often stand there, remarkable
figure, with his fine old face and silver
Van Dyke beard, motionless except
that tonight he tapped the doorframe
with fingers that could not stay STILL

children after something they loved TO
see, and the welcome they received all
along the way was tremendous. We
were caught in jam of vehicles and
then they came and I am sure was
not six feet away from them.
This seemed wonderful to see them
on the streets alone when am sure
the Kaiser was hunting dungeon to
hide in, likewise his family.
While their maiesties were passing
it was raining, but nothing viii dam
pen the spirit of the wonderful peo-
pie here who have kept cheerful when
things were at the most dangerous
breaking points.
The day was a wonderful one and
I'll wager the night twin be some wild
night in the old town. as I feel it is
safer to be at home but if Billy vor
Lewie were here guess they wopidn It
have much of a job to take NE out.
Last Saturday was the day of the
Lord mayors show when tic new Lord
mayor is sworn in. I thought that
was the greatest day but today beat
it.
There was a great war procession of
soldiers from every service, English,
Iifsh, Scotch, Welch, South African,
India, East Indian Islanders, New Zea-
landers, Australians, Japanese, Cana
dian, italian, Serbians, French and Amer
leans, and the women workers,
w. A. A. CPS, w. R. N. s. land girls,
girl foresters, aeroplane workers, muni-
tionettes,V. A. DIS, goodness knows
what all, and some of these were work
ing at their line on trucks. There were
tanks, whippets, mountain guns, cap
tured guns and Howitzers, machine
guns and minnenweffas CO and what
not. Bands galore, boy scouts, girl
guides, navy auxilliaries, the sky was
full Of aeroplanes and there were sew
eral captive observation balloons, and
two or three British Zeppelins. These
are wonderful air ships and I am sure
capable of doing to Germany what Ger
many did to England and France.
There was SO much to see, and
then there was the Lord Mayor IS coach
and his return. All the show was great
and hundreds of thousands saw it.
Now Marion have scrubbed this
off in hurry and wish could pound
the typewriter like Willie Marlatt, with
only one finger of each hand I would
surely write letter that could be
read.
Look for the Lord Mayors show and
Peace Day in London in moving pic
lures and if you look close you may
see me. But see the show any way.
Best wishes to all. I don It know how
this will effect our plans for the win
ter's work.
