refreshments that followed.

refreshments CnaC followed.
Speaking of refreshments, do not
think it was ice cream and cake for
ice cream and cake is almost I'M
heard of around here and even the
ice we had for the lemonade had to
come about fifty miles.
Last Sunday being the 18th which
is equal to the 4th in the United
States for it is a national holiday in
France, we went down town and gave
a little entertainment to the French.
All seemed to enjoy it for such little
things help US to get better acquaint-
ed with the people around here. The
The peasants, or the wooden
shoes as we call them are about us
most of the time but the real French
are usually seen in town or on the
beach. 1t may help you to realize the
population better in comparing the
whites and negroes around home with
the higher and lower classes OF
the French though not nearly so
strict a line is drawn and there is no
hard feelings between the classes.
We are still making good use of
the beach for the water is fine now
and oh my! how we enjoy it after
a good days work.
It was certainly encouraging to
look over the contributions to the
Red Cross in Edgefeld county and
if my thanks go very far or not l
want to express them as we'll as l
can for every little bit helps US to
down the Hun and at the same time
brings us nearer home. Though l
have not had any urgent need OF the
Red Cross l have seen lots of good
done by the "Y' and l know the Red
Cross is much more important at the
front.
We are very comfortably fixed
where we are and though we have
begun to feel at home here | cannot
saw how long we will be here but we
are expecting a few more hardshlps
during the winter for then perhaps
our dreams Of the front will come
true.
Saturday afternoon we had quite
- little sand storm with a little rain
and although it lasted on into the
night no damage was done about us.
l spent Saturday evening making
a hand for my watch for after having
il in a shop for two weeks and a trip
To Paris it was returned to me With
out a long hand. In about two hours
7 nd made a good hand out OF a
needle and is now going as good as
ave. so YOU can imagine I am proud
of my time!
In order to send any package to
us we have to get a written tate
ment that we care in need OF that
article approved and sent to you all
to be presented at the postottice with
the package when it is mailed
VIZ are paid inFrench money and
use it altogether so now the dollars
and cents are almost a curiosity TO
US.
I suppose by now the crops are
we'll on their way and here is hoping
the best of success will grow with
them all.
It is really dark now so will close
with all good wishes to everybody
at home from Papa to D. r. ,Jr.
Love to all.
Yours,

SOLDIERS LETTERS.
Continued from page One;

Your letter came among my first
mail and I can hardly say how glad
l was to get a real letter from home
after a period of no mail for over "a
month.
We are getting well fixed where
we are though I am laboring hard
with all the rest. l have been wanting
to write you for some time but it
seems as if most of my time is taken
up and after writing one letter the
rest are about the same as we re-
main in the same place and are I'M
der similar conditions. The only thing
that changes is what we are doing
and that thing we cannot tell so
you see we are mostly out of news.
l mailed "The Fly Paper" to Papa
last week and though it is not much
it enables US to get a little news
home thai may be cut out of our
own letters. The post cards | mailed
two weeks ago should be we'll on the
road by now and l hope that they
will be of a little interest to the
folks at home.
The news we get at camp is usu-
ally two or three days old as the pa
pers are a day old when they reach
here. We have three American pa
pcrs published in Paris: The New
York Herald, Chicago Tribune and
the American Daily Mail. Though
they are only of one folder they con-
tain almost as much news as The
State. The Stars and Stripes is also
published in Paris and is more like
the Sunday paper for it contains a
little more than just news and is
published about Thursday. l have
been getting the Edgefield Chronicle
direct also The Advertiser you have
mailed and with the exception OF
that l have hardly seen All American
paper so you can imagine how l APP
preciate it.
We get very few magazines and
other literature of that kind so you
can imagine how glad we are to get
anything of that kind from The Lit
erary Digest to the Police Gazette
No doubt all of you are rejoicing
with us over the drive u boys made
during the last fcw days and beng
our first drive it is quite encourag-
ing. Though we are not all at the
front doing our part there and get,
ting all the fame, honor and glory
we feel that we are doing u part
where we are and living in hopes
that it will not be long before we
are with those at the front. The most
encouraging of all is to know thai
we succeeded in the first real at
tempt and that each step nearer
Berlin brings us one day nearer
home.
About the best news I can men
ton of what has taken place here
since writing last is that we have
little "Y" started in our camp anc
with piano and victlola we do moi
feel so far away from u home after
all. We have a chaplain down witt
us who has spent some time at the
front. With his stories of the front
and the little s~ervices'h holds make:
him about the most popular man II
camp. Friday night he gave US
little entertainment at the "4" ant
though it was just among ourselves
we enjoyed it almost as much as th'

BASKET SOCIAL AT HO0NAH IS
 GREAT EVENT
Nearly $100 Was Raised for the Cause of the Red Cross
 Order.
Hoonah, Alaska. Jan. IA. 1918.

Hoonah, Alaska, Jan. IA, 1918.
 The basket social held at the movie hall January 10th was a complete success in every way. Much enthusiasm was shown for the Red Cross. Ninety dollars and sixty cents were contributed. Mir. Sam Johnson acted as auctioneer and added much to the pleasure of the evening by his jollity. Sev- eral baskets sold as high as seven dollars each. Messrs. Shotter and Dodge, owners of the movie" gen erously gave the entire proceeds of the show that evening, swelling the amount received to one hun dred and seven dollars and thirty five cents
 In addition to this forty new members have been enrolled, so by this mail another check for one hundred and fifty-eight dollars and thirty-five cents.
 Work on the Food administration problem is well under way and the people of Hoonah are more than willing to do their bit.
 After the first year of trial the natives of Hoonah are more en- thusiastic than ever over their privilege of local lf-government. The old council. with the eXcep- tion of two members, was re-elect- ed by large majority. The peo- pie are determined to stamp out intemperance in the village. Four cases have been tried by the coun- cil and the maximum fine has been collected from each prisoner.
 Rev. James H. Condit, D. D., general missionary for the Presby- terian Church in Alaska is in town, He is here in the interest of the Board of Home Missions and preached to very appreclative congregation both morning and evening of the 14th.

HOW ITALY IS
 PRESERVING HER
 ART TREASURES
The Method Being Used Against Teuton Bomb CTS Described by
 Prof. FiIippi.

LONDON, Jan. 16.-The work of the Italian authorities in preserving Italy's art treasures against bom- bardment was described by Major Sir F. de Filippi in a lecture before the Royal Academy here recently.
 'Italy has been fully alive to her responsibility for the art of which she is the guardian" said the lectur- er," and has spared nothing in her endeavor to protect her cities and their treasures. In Venetian, Lom- bardan and Tuscan towns I saw whole buildings wrapped up. Out door monuments are often complete ly enclosed in what look likes big dog kennels In many cases new masonry has been put in to strength en historic structures, and elaborate systems of drainage have been in- stalled to further reinforce the nat ural strength of the buildings.
 Bags of seaweed, very light and elastic have been extensively and successfully used in Venice for St. Marks and other buildings. Bronz- es, pictures and small monuments, have been removed in colossal pack ing cases and taken to places of se- curity. The buildings themselves have been sandbagged without and within, and every monument or ach- itctural masterpiece separately kept shrouded.
 "Venice has presented a difficult problem because of the soft soil on which it is built making heavy ma sorry often impossible. One of the most difficult pieces of protective work done was the removal of Iii tian's great Assumption, a part of the wall of the Academia having been taken down to get it out.
 -Four hundred bombs have thus far been dropped in Venice by ene- my airmen. That the number is not much larger is due to the superb defensive work of the Italian air men,"

JENNINGS SAYS MILITARY AIR
 IS OBSERVABLE
Declares That in Seattle Everything Is Centered in the War
 Interest.

Judge Robert w. Jennings returned home last night from trip to the outside and opened court today. He declares that he enjoyed his brief vacation trip.
 In answer to questions, the Judge said that industrial conditions in Seattle were good and on every side was emphasized the war spirit. He said the streets and public places were filled with soldiers and sailors in uniform. At the present time owing to the greater interest which centers in the war and in war prep arations and industries, Alaska is merely an incident in the larger life of Seattle However, he says there are faithful friends of Alaska in Sc attle who are wide awake always to assist Alaskans in whatever course they may deem best for the of the territory and its resources.

GERMAN CORSAIR
 FL0UTS BRAZILIANS

BUENOS AIRES, Jan. 16.-Bra- zilion paper received here today are filled with accounts of the movements of German corsair off the Brazilian coast few weeks ago.
 They assert that the mysterious vessel was identified as German and that it unloaded an immense cargo at Cerqueira and Armacao. Several days later the steamer re- turned to Armacao with additional cargo, which it is believed she received from a larger ship out of sight of land. From Armacao the vessel proceeded to Calouro, where another portion of the cargo was unloaded.
 These ports are not guarded, and it is asserted that the cargoes landed were mysteriously snug gled away. Later the German vessel was sighted close to shore at San Pedro de Aldera, where two persons are now under arrest as a result of their relations with the crew. They are charged with being spies.
 The newspapers say the steamer disappeared as mysteriously as she came and that Brazilians believe she brought supplies for submarine base.

Answering the Peace Proposal

The prompt and decisive answer Of the United
States to the Austrian peace proposal should go
far way to convince the Central Powers that
this country and it's allies will not listen to
covenanted peace but will dictate terms at the
point of the bayonet. President Wilson long ago
made plain the position of the Allies, and it would
be folly of the most superlative sort to relinquish
his stand now when the sun is setting for the
Central Powers.
The unmistakable brutality of the Central
Powers, evidenced in the torpedoing of a liner
few days ago with heavy loss of life among
women and children, coupled with the brazen
duplicity of their leaders, as patiently exhibited
in the disclosures of their intrigues with the Boil
sheviki leaders, to say nothing of the years OF
crime that have preceded, strengthen the con-
viction of the world that Germany and Austria
must be regarded outlaws and treated as such.
Scant mercy can be accorded them in the
final accounting. Their efforts to palliate the
punishment by entering into peace parley, sole
~ intended to obtain easy terms while they may
still be had, must be looked upon the effort of
an outlaw, who, at the end of his murderous
career, tries to hoodwink justice by advancing an
argument like this one: "You are tired of my
raids, bloodshed and arson, and l am tired of
being hunted; let's talk it over to see if we can
not agree on terms whereby l can obtain my for
mer good standing in the community and you
will not be forced to spend money trying to
catch me-"
What would be the answer of the authorities ?
Assuredly, a decisive REFUSAL and especially so if
this outlaw time and again had spurned offers of
peace that were sincerely made. Germany must
be regarded as an outlaw and the attitude Of the
Allies toward her must be that of sheriff to-
ward bandit.
