LETTERS FROM SOLDIERS.
Don Fisher and Sandy Gilbert Tell
HOmefOlks of Life Over There.

Don G. Fisher now in France, writes
the following very interesting letter,
to Thomas Thompson:
In France, May 10, 1918
Dear Tommie:
| have been planning on writing to
you for some time to thank you for
your thoughtfulness in sending the
magazines, which we all appreciated
very much.
To a Westerner, France has many
wonderful things and hove been very
fortunate, while here, being able to
visit some of the larger cities and
while there making 1t point to try
and find out some of it's history and
visiting the historical points.
This city holds many wonders for
me such as an old castle, two or three
old museums, cathedral in which
several of the historical persons Of
France came to worship in their time.
One Sunday in company with COM
rade fiom Portland, l climbed the lit
tie winding stairway which led into
the tower and when ut last we came
into a little room we paused and gag
ed thru little hole in the wall and
much to our surprise we had a Won
derful view of the interior of the main
room where the good French came to
pay their respect 20 those who were
sacred TO them. While we were engag-
ed in watching the choir began to
chant and it sounded wonderful as it
echoed thru the little room
We then began to ascend the little
stairway and at last arrived at the
guides room, where we were greeted
with much bowling and French lingo
and with the old gentleman as guide
we climbed into the tower and then
thru little door and were at last
in narrow place on the outside Of
the tower and such sigh: may never
see again. The whole of this wonder
full city lay spread out for miles and
the river with it's wonderful bridges
lay directly beneath us. I really don't
know how high we were but climbing
up little winding stairway which was
very dark made 1t seem much higher.
Next we were showed into the place
where the chimes hung and while there
the bells began to ring and while it
sounds very pretty at distance there
wasn't n great deal of music there
On each bell is the date and source
from whence ii came. Next we were
taken into another part Of the tower
and there were several old dates, such
as 1886, 1858, 1875, and then our
guide, with much pride, showed us an
old inscription and the date was 1904
This sounded fishy to me but l under
stand that the building was erected
many years before that time so it
might be all right.
From the old castle to this cathedral
is tunnel but it has become so dan
gerous no one Is allowed to go thru,
although | would have attempted it
If they would have let me do so.
The next thing that took my eye
was the castle, which was commenced
by the Romans when they over-ran
France. 1t is wonderful in construc-
ton and although much has been torn
down the remains made us look with
wonder. | was thru the dungeon and
the walls are worn where the pris-
oners were chained to the wall The
old chains still being fastened to the
walls. The moat around the castle Is
dry but the guide told us that when
the castle WAS first built. the river

beautiful Golden Eagle which was
caught in trap ON her ranch. 1t
measured about nine feet from tip to
tip. She donated it to the Red Cross
and the sale of it brought around
seven hundred dollars.
Geo. Smith, editor of the Globe pass-
ed thru Whitebird last week, enroute
up the river ON fishing trip Mr..
Smith says that this is the first trip
In some years, and that he intends to
enjoy it.
Mr. o. NJ. Evans sustained several
serious injuries last week, when walk
ing down the road to the river, he
attempted to kick small rock out
of the road and lost his balance and
fell over a high bank, bruising his
head and spraining one of his ankles.
He was unable to get up and was
there some time before he was found.
He has been making his home with
his son Henry for some time past. He
is much better at present writing.
Owing to the warm weather of the
last week the river has raised con-
siderable and the Lyons ferry has been
tied up, the drift wood running which
makes 1t dangerous to cross. A bridge
across the Salmon river would come
i'll handy at this time and we hope to
soon have one.
Mrs. Wilbur Van Wey received a
package of things from her brother in
France last week. Among the contents
was mans belt which was covered
with medals and buttons of the Eng
fish, French, Irish and Canadian arm
les. 1t was very interesting souvenir
There were also several articles of
handwork which had been made by
the French women. Oneo the papers
which came in the box had been print
ed in Paris and was one Of the common
American papers and contained all
American news.

In one place are heap of round rocks
about the size of croquet balls which
the guide told me were used In the
cataput. In another place he show
ed us where the executions took place
and there were the imprints of many
bullets in the wall.
We then climbed to the top of the
tower and the entire wall was pierced
with loop holes which, we were told.

In one of the museums visited were

many wonderful tapestries and the
guide tried to interpret but / could not
understand French so missed great
deal of 1t.
In another museum / visited was q
uniform that Napoleon wore when at
the height of his reign and quite
collection of fire arms and many an

several old lead collins and in one was

there from which were printed famous
documents In French history. A won

Spade and Hoe To Befriend
The Rifle and the Bayonet
from statement by the British
Ministry of Fcod.)

War is making bare the worlds
cupboards; the granaries are be-
ing emptied, the flocks thinned, the
herds butchered, the mines scrap
ed. War is making everything
dear except human life; the de-
structive monster is consuming
more food essentials than it is pro-
ducing. Want follows hard in the
wake of the chariot wheels of
Mars, and the whole world is
threatened with hunger, the mem
ace of which will become greater
with the prolongation of hostili-
ties. Victory will go to the COM
batants who are best fed ana
nourishsd. The food question is
now paramount Food production
is as essential to victory as food
saving. =. The spade ard the
noe must befriend the rife and the
bayonet.

WHERE DO YOU STAND, YOUNG
AMERICAN?


The Leader publishes today an in
teresting story from Jacksonville rela-
tive to the strenuous efforts that are
made by mere boys and aged and in
firm men to enlist in some branch of
the army and contribute what they
can toward making the world safe for
democracy. This story is well worth
considering, and particularly by men
not included in the draft.
When a man who is capable of fight
ing refuses to enlist voluntarily, or
tries to avoid the draft, his cowardice
or selfshness nauseates his fellows.
When an under-age boy or an over
age man frets and bemoans his fate
because he is not allowed to serve, his
condition is both pathetic and inspir-
ing.
Germany, brute of nations, must and
will be beaten. But Germany cannot
be beaten unless Americans do their
"bit."
Florida has made magnificent rec-
ord in contributing fighting men,
money and the work of noble women
to the cause.
While this record is being made,
what are you doing, Young Ameri-
can
Have you offered your services, or
are you skulking in the rear?

LIST SHOWING COUNTY
FOOD ADMINISTRATORS

Nearly all counties in the State OF
Florida are now under control of Coun-
ty Food Administrators, the duties of
these officers under the United States
Food Administration being the same
as the duties of the Federal Food Adj
ministrators who are in charge of the
various states.
Organization of the state of Florida
was taken I'D about six weeks ago
by Federal Food Administrator Brax-
ton Beacham, and after carefully ascer-
tanning the merits of the different per-
sons recommended to him he finally
selected those who are named below
and are giving their full time and at
tention to the work in hand. Not one
of these County Food Administrators
receives a salary, and many of them
are spending their own money In con-
dActing affairs of their office. They
are doing a wonderful work in spread
ing the propaganda of food conserva-
ton and directing distribution, while
the effects of their efforts are shown
and proven in the even trend OF prices
throughout the State.

ready appointed is as follows.

ABLE WOMAN CHOSEN
HEAD OF CONSERVATION

Florida has the distinction of hav-
Ing the only woman Chairman of
Food Conservation.
This Lady is Mrs ]. T. Fuller, of
Orlando, who was recently appointed
by Federal Food Administrator BIZ AK
ton Beacham, to take the place of
Mrs. w. M Hooker, of Ocala, whose
duties with the Woman's Committee
OF the Council of National Defense
had multiplied to am extent that pre-
vented her from continuing in the
Food Administration work,
Mrs. Fuller is charming lady. and
in addition to her winning person
atty has deep understanding or
business affairs and especially the
work of food conservation. She has
been very prominent in matters of
progressive nature such as have been
studied by leading women of Florida
during the past few years, and has
done great work in her home section
for numerous patriotic movements
Mrs. Fuller will shortly begin a
campaign of the State, and will make
addresses at the most important
points Of Florida, these meetings to
be followed by others wherever there
Is need of calling attention of the peo-
pie to food conservation. She will
also have charge of the county chair
men of conservation, and in this work
will proceed along lines that will
agree with the original or fixed plans
of county food administrators. Being
well acquainted with household eco
nomics, Mrs. Fuller will be able to
work directly with the housewives, or
at least will be able to make spe-
cial appeal to them, while arranging
for special efforts or organized CAM
paigns to be conducted by the coun-
ty chairmen.
Mrs. Fuller's first work after TAX
ing up her duties was an address be-
fore the ladies Of the Springfield I'M
proyement Association at Jackson
vile, and also an address at an eve
ming meeting where the serving
maids and cooks were in attendance.
County food administrators will no
doubt find Mrs. Fuller a valuable as
slstant in their work, and she will re-
spond to all calls for aid in teaching
food conservation.

Atlantic port, carrying American
troops, munitions and supplies to the
battle front. AS she reaches the dan
ger zone, out of the mist appear the
sinister greyhounds of war, the Amer
lean destroyers, and a screen is form
ed about the liner that carries her
safely to her destination.
And as the cables bring back the
word of her safe arrival, sigh of re-
lief goes up from hundreds of thous-
ands of mothers and fathers.
A sigh of relief! American bravery
and skill again have beaten the Ger
man submarine! But the relentless
hand of the censor has not told those
hundreds of thousands of American
parents Of the heroic deeds aboard
those destroyers that made possible
the conclusion of the liners voyage.
sdtSome day, perhaps after the war is
ended, the heroic deeds of American
naval officers and men will be made
public, and then, it is not hard to fore
cast, will be heralded again names
that another war made famous.
AS the eighteenth century gave way
to the nineteenth, William cambridge
linked those two eras with deeds of
valor that are immortal. When the
censor's hand is raised, the name
cambridge may again ring through
out the land, for somewhere on the
high seas is little American destroy
er named cambridge.
William cambridge was born at
Princeton, N. j., in 1774, the son of
a wealthy physician and descendant of
an English nobleman. When nineteen
years old cambridge commanded
ship in the Dutch trade. In defending
his ship from British schooner of
eight guns in 1896 he forced the
schooner to strike her colors after a
short fight. AS war did not exist be-
tween the two countries cambridge
could not take the schooner as prize.
but shouted to the captain:
go about your business now, and
report to your masters that if they
want my ship they must send great
er force and a more skillful command
er to take her."
In 1898 cambridge was commission
ed lieutenant-commandant of the
schooner Retaliation, and was captur-
ed in battle with superior French
force. cambridge was taken on board
the French Volontaire, whose captain
refused to accept his sword, and was
permitted to go to the topgallant fore
castle to watch the pursuit of the Am
erican ships Montezuma and Norfolk
by the Insurgente, 36 guns.
AS the Insurgente was about to open
fire the captain of the Volontaire
turned to cambridge and asked,
"Pray, sir, what is the force of those
vessels ?"
cambridge replied without hesita-
ton:
"The ship carries twenty-eight IL
Founders and the brig twenty g
Founders"
Captain St. Laurant of the Volon-
taire, who was commander of the
fleet, signaled the Insurgente to with
draw, fearing the loss Of his ship.
When, later, Captain St. Laurant
found that their armament had been
exaggerated to twice what they car
'ried he exclaimed:
did you not say, sir, that the ship
carried twenty-eight 12-pounders and
the brig twenty 9-pounders ?"
Very quietly and earnestly Balm
bridge replied:
eyes, sir, and if had thought at that
moment that / could have saved the
ships by telling you that they carried
24-pounders / should have done So"
