dearest Sister,
I hope 20 are enjoying good health
as I never felt better. l have done
quite some travelling since L left home
and have rode on everything from a
passenger coach to a box car. Tho
ways of travelling here are far different
from what we had in the states. Their
railroads remind me of the scenic rail-
ways at the resorts. 1 sure wish 1 was
at n now. i am just after finishing
my weeks wash and 1t sure was some
job. We have to be contented to wash
them in O brook.
France sure Is a beautiful country
but with all its beauty and splendor
1T does not compare with the good old
u. S. A. There is nothing like our
Yankee land. While 1 have been
travelling / have only met one French
person who could speak good English.
That was q woman who had done quite
some travelling in England. Her home
was destroyed at the beginning of the
war. The Germans took her little girl
and kept her for two years.
I suppose mother was quite lone
some on my birthday. / have quite a
few of them to spend yet, so I guess
I can stend in France. Tell them
not TO worry as I am taking good caro-
of myself.
I have nothing moro to write at

hubby the best of luck.

For Men from Institution Now in Scrv-

By Special Correspondent.
TOTTENvILLE, Aug. 1.-TWO
hundred and fifty members were pres
ent at the reunion of the alumni of
the Mission ~ the Immaculate Virgin
held all day yesterday at Mt. Loretto.
The occasion was marked by the un-
yelling of a service flag containing 400
stars, and a gold star, in honor OF
those of the alumni who have given
their services to the country.
Because of government regulations
regarding the use of special trains, the
New York and Brooklyn members
did not travel in the special train
from st. George as announced, but ar
rived on the regular passenger train,
arriving at the Pleasant Plains sta
ton at 10 o'clock in the morning.
They were escorted from the Pleas
ant Plains entrance to the institution
by the famous boys band of MI. Lor-
etto, where they were met by the Rev.
Mallick J.. Fitzpatrick, who is the
head OF the institution and given a
hearty welcome.
The program of events was carried
out according to schedule, although
many of the games a to be curtailed
because of the rain. Dinner was served
at / o'clock, which smacked of all the
good things that go to make an occa-
sion of this kind successful.
A feature of the dinner was the un-
furhng of a service flag containing
400 stars and N gold one. The gold
one was in memory IF Raymond Sta
Der, q member of the iS5th Regiment.
formerly the old s9th of New York.
Staber was killed In the battle on the
banks Of the Ourcq, in which Major
James A. McKenna, ", lost his life.
The flag was blessed vy the Rev. Mr..
Fitzpatrick.
The address of the day was made
by Judge Collins of the general court
of Manhattan. A patriotic address
was also made by John Whalen. for
mer corporation council of New York.

gave a drill, after which the alumni
gathered in the church and benedfc-
ton was said. Supper was served at

South American Countries
Would Use Idle Hun Ships
BIZ United Press.
VIZ GHTNNnnN

BIZ United Press.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 12:-Latin-
America is looking with e~ver-growing
intolerance upon the great numbers
of idle German ships interned in South
American ports, according to authori-
tative diplomatic disclosures here to-
day.
Representative diplomats who are
in close touch with internal conditions
in the various republics admit that the
informed ship problem is a vital one
In practically every one of the coun-
tries that have not already entered the
war and turned the much-needed ton
mage n entente trade channels.
Demand for Seizure Strong.
Late reports from Argentina indi-
cate that the popular demand there
has become so strong that seizure OF
the Teuton mercantile fleet on the
River Plata may be forced on the gov
eminent. One ship of 5000 tons a
been sold to Argentine owners, the
money being held at Buenos Aires I'M
til the close of the war. 1t vas ru-
mored at the time of the sale that the
ship was turned owe to the Argen-
tines without cost, In payment for the
torpedoed Argentine steamers "Toro"
and Monte ~Protegido" which the
German government agreed to replace.
The United Pres is able to state
that the question has been raised by
maritime interests in both Chile and
Argentine as to whether h protection
which International law affords to in
termed vessels is not Irritable as to
duration. Both republics are very
much in need of additional shipping
facilities, and influential forces are
known to be urging that the hospi-
tally that has been accorded the
Germans for nearly four years be re-
voked without further delay, upon the
grounds of national necessity.
Industry Complains.
A recent arrival from Chile asserts
that the idle bottoms are having much
to do in overcoming the pro-German
sentiment in the west coast republic.
He pointed out that the industrial and
financial interests are complaining
that they could have more than
trebled the expansion of Chile's nj
trate production since the beginning
of the war II sufficient tonnage had
been available.
Approximately 400, 900 tons of Ger
mar shipping of the 600, 900 in West
Coast ports are under Chilean protec-
ton. II has been confidently expect
ed here that Peru would put the Ger
man ships in her ports in service, fol-
lowing the seizure of them some time
ago as a precautionary
against their destruction by German
crews. Similar action is expected on
the part OF Uruguay. since her seizure
of lnterned ships at Montevideo.
IT is the diplomatic belief that con-
tinued Allied military successes In
France will have much weight in settl-
ing the question of the use of these
bottoms.

}. G. Carpenter of Easley Dead.
A Victim of Spanish Influenza.

The second death from Spanish influ-
enza at Easley occurred at an early hour
this morning when John c. Carpenter,
Oldest son of Ex-senator C. H. Carpen-
ter, proved victim to the dreadful dis
ease. The first death was on Wednes
day night when Mrs. Maud s. Hughes
succumbed after an illness Of little
more than forty-eight hours.
Mrs Hughes went to the mill to work
on Monday morning but was unable to
return that afternoon. Her condition
grew rapidly worse from the outset and
she passed away Wednesday night.
Mr. Carpenter was faithful II. f. d.
from this place and has held that posi-
ton for seventeen years. He resided on
q farm near here and was only three
months ago married TO Miss Lucia Cely.
He appeared at the post Office on Mon
day morning to make his rounds as usual
but had to give up that afternoon and
his case became serious from the first.
1t is unofficially stated that there are
more than two hundred cases of this
disease here or what is thought to be.
At any rate it is the most peculiar cpl
demic that the town has ever known.
Efforts to check it's spread are being
put forth and it is hoped that soon con
ditions will be normal again.
Mr.. Carpenter is survived by his wife
his fathe and five sisters and one broth
cr, Robert d. Carpenter of Greenville.
The funeral services will be held at
Antioch Saturday afternoon at O clock.
