 Somewhere in France.
 Dear Mother-Aftsr journey of several thousand miles I have arrived at my destination. l like my location fine, be- Ing assigned to one of the best military hospitals in the zone of operations
 It is hard for men to realize that I am Tn France, and before sailing from America had not dreamed of havinS such comfortable barracks in a camp which has electric lights, cunning water, with hot and cold baths.
 believe the trip across the Atlantic was the most delightful and interestins part or my journey. One cannot appre clate the vast expanse of water that separates the hemispheres until one has crossed the seas. It is always the same and yet there is something different making it very fascinating to me. It would always do us good and give us q feeling of security to look out and see our battleships three or four miles in the distance. They looked as if they dared submarine to appear.
 When out something like midocean | saw the, most beautiful eclipse of the. sun and cftcn saw the sun rise ana set When in school I used to hear pr Lovett talk of the beauties of a sunset

 We had no danger signals in crossing, but one night at midnight when every body was asleep, the ship whistle blew one long blast and blew at regular inter. vals for sonletime. It was the most dole. ful soun1 I ever heard and many gor out of bed and dressed. It was real funny later when we learned it was only on account of the heavy fog. The solemn sound of the whistle was the cause of the anxiety of some and others were afraid because of the lateness of the hour.
 Before reaching my destination ayailed nlyself of the opportunity ot visiting many cities and towns, nearly all of which are very old and interesting. England Is the most beautiful country | have ever seen; it reminds me of q flower garden more than anything else When one visits it they can realize and understand why it is called the Home O. the Poets.'

 France is certainly beautiful country also The roads throughout France are built of stone and are like avenues linei with great oak trees that speak che growth of centuries.

REGISTRATION OF ' BOYS WILL BEGIN
 MONDAY MORNING
School Principals to Act as Enrolling Officers for Boys Working Re
 serve This Week

Montgomery, August S1.-(Special) Plans that call for the enrolment of all boys in Alabama between the ages of 16 and q years for the week begin- ming Monday have been completed. ac- cording to information from w. Nash gRead, federal director of the United States boys working reserve. Eity and high school principals have been au- thorized to act as enrolling officers for the week.
 The enrolment of the boys, it is pointed out does not neans that they are to be conscripted if there is any objection on the part of their parents or guardians, MT. Read says. No boy will be placed on the farmso of the state unless homes to which they are as- signed are of the very best.
 The federal director has mailed out Instructions to the enrolling officers, and has made public the letter Presi- dent Wilson wrote to the Secretary of Labor regarding the part the young men should play while their older brothers and fathers are fighting for freedom on foreign soil.
 Ut is high privilege, no less than a patriotic duty, to help support the nation by devoted and intelligent work dent to w, B. Wilson, Secretary of Labor.
 We have wonderful source of en- ergy in our boys of 16 to 21 years, Governor Henderson said in his procla- nation, fixing the week of September 2-7 as enrolment week. "These boys are patriotic to the core and intensely loyal. They want to do something tan gible toward helping their government land we should utilize their energies and direct them along the channel of great est utility. With this in view the United States boys working reserve is being organized and enrolled for service. This reserve will be mainly in aiding agriculture during the harvest season, but many of them will devote their time to this cause during the growing Season as heretofore." $ Schools over the state will give prop CT credit to boys who are working in the fields the first few weeks of the 191S-19 term No points will be lost by this absence from school, educational authorities said.
