lN h1 UGH interest is centered in lWll the war work of the Y. w. c SVS A. who are working in France and the following extracts from let ter recently received1 will be eagerly read $ by the many war workers throughout the city:
 Tt is a glorious thing to be an American in France now. The women of the Foyer are always coming in to show their letters from their poilus fighting besides the Americans, and it is always the same story of the "beau travail" the "braves Ameri- cains'' who will surely save France. And an afternoon with our wounded boys in the hospitals makes one feel it's all true. They are so cheerful and patient, their spirit is so fine, and their American humor so ire pressible that in spite of the little tight feeling in your throat, you come away sharing their optimism, and al- most forgetting that it's war, as you buy slippers for Pat who simply must hobble around the ward, and then effect rapid transit for shebert in little pail from just around the corner.
 1He InemDeTS lOVc tO DIlHS tHeAl families on Sundays to see the "joli Foyer. Aged grandmothers, come in picturesque Brittany caps, turndling along little Suzanne or Margot, as the case may be. Tiny babies only six weeks old are tenderly brought in, swathed in a multiplicity of the long est baby clothes imaginable. One day a shy soldier father came with his girl-wife, bringing their petit Jean. just few weeks old, and placed the little fellow in the arms of the secro- tary, saying they wanted the Ameri- can lady's blessings flor luck" and they begged her to sing "America" as a part of the ceremony. So sine swayed the small person back and forth and sang My Country Tis of Thee" in a somewhat uncertain voice while a bevy of girls and the proud father crowded just as close to her as they could get.
 How would you and friend enjoy and Algerian concert where you were the only woman present except one French lady? As our Y. W. c. A. sec retaries entered they found the hall filled with row upon row of dark skinned Algerians, the red fez on their heads, and toward the front many French officers, including the director of the Pare. Then the band struck up the Star Spangled Banner" and they were conducted to red velvet arm chairs which they discovered were labeled flor the mayor and other high officialsr' They tried to escape, but they were assured that the seats were reserved for them. Then followed 2 programme of weird native dances and music, and fine concert and between parts they with the other distinguished guests, retired to another room where champagne and cakes were offered ' and then the little captain toasted ev cry enc, beginning perforce with the American danes first
 The Y. w c. A. secretaries at our Foyer forgot their dignity for one night and gave an entertainment which was quite new to mos, Of their audi ence. Having been duly and charm inglN> feted on the American holiday by the women of the Foyer, they wished to return the delicate compli- ment on the 14th. After no end of beautiful plans had been conceived and rejected. they finally dressed up as negro mammies and sang old negro

Letters to the Folks at Home

Soldier boys are not forgetting the old folks
at home If you don't believe it, read these stats
tics of the Y. M. C. A. in the Central Military De-
partment alone which show that 1874, 603 letters
were written during December. About 100000
enlisted men are stationed in this department. SO
the average is about twelve letters to each man.
It's pretty difficult to grasp the fact that g.
724,6O3 letters on Y. M. c. A. stationery were
written in one month. Surely the total will in
crease to still greater proportions when the let
tiers written by boys on their own stationery are
added.
1t will be an unnecessary commentary to say
that the boys are to be commended in maintain
ing their home ties by frequent letters to their
parents The foregoing statistics are effective
proof.
The Y. NJ. C. A. huts are placarded with slog-
ans that read, Don't Forget to Write Home" and
Remember Mothers Letter First Of course,
the boys not overlooking letters to their best
girls and former chums and companions, but re-
ports from the association huts and the many let
tiers that parents have asked the Palladium to
publish show that the young soldiers have warm
spots in their hearts for the loved ones at home.

from their midst. His wife and his children, his
father and mother and brothers and sisters will
know that he no longer walks among them. They
will wonder and they will whisper his name. But
they will never know the length nor the nature
of the journey he has taken. They will never
know whether he lies dead in an unmarked grave,
buried in quick-lime or alive in cell from which
no word may ever issue forth.
Alive or dead. the silence Of death enshrouds
him.
The world only knows that last night trait
or, spy, was taken; it will never know anything
more about him.
No account of his trial, no mention of his
Deeds no grewsome tale of the firing squad or
sombre picture of prison walls,-nothing but the
blackness of oblivion!
Wiped out! Gone! Unrecorded!
That is all. A spy has passed.
