As for war news We hear very little
only as the French soldiers come home
from the from, on furlough. II Is
about the same as you read in the
papers a, home. The Huns are losing
their morale. II things move along
as steadily as they are now there
ought 10 be some move for peace be
fore much time has passed.
Am in a beautiful country here,
good climate so far and very little
rain. Had some showers last night,
the first since | left the States. II is
fine in climate and farming but il is
not America. One Of the lieutenants
told us the other day that some Of the
boys would not go home, but stay here
and make il their homes, but not for
me and | think ditto for the others,
II is far behind the times in many
things.
viii tell you Of some Of the condi.
tons see her and the way the people
live. In our town and all surrounding
places the buildings and fences are OF
stone. The roofs are very old, some
are Of single, slate, grass and ever
in places. of stone. Most Of the build
ings are well built and the walls are
as plumb and true as when hrst laid
Even see wooden shoes, Holland style
Rough. serviceable furniture mostly
The people seem to have plenty to eat
All have gardens, fields Of crops, cows
sheep and poultry. All the people cr'
farmers, dress well for poor people
and seem contented. Work from day
light till dusk at night. Have som'
fruit: apples, plums and pears, abou
the same as at home. The roads arr
fine. only dusty, When dry everyone
is covered with dust and it is as fn'
and white as -four. Two-wheeled cart
and bicycles are the common ways 0
getting around. Farming is the che
occupation. The soil is fair, not a
good here as in some parts OF France
Have seen a little machinery from tn
States. The crops are drawn IN OF
wheeled carts and one horse
Threshing machines good too ! thin'
by the way they are made. Guess D.

As write the church bells ring 10
services. The church must be as oil
as the Creator by the appearance o
it. Well, have had look at Parl
and Eiffel Tower and New forI
State and City, and all are well wort

will close. Hope the censor does no
cross half of this off and hope yo
will answer soon.

afternoon at community meeting in
the school building and that night
at the Methodist church. His ad-
dresses had so inspired the people
with a desire for better educational
facilities that the subscription of
more than $500 for that purpose was
spontaneous.

day night were: E. j. Park $500;
