JESSE TAYLOR WRITES OF FRANCE.

The following letter was received
by Mrs. Jno. M. Taylor from her
grandson, SGT. Jesse Taylor, u. S
Army, in France:
Somewhere in France
Near Heaven
Aug. II, 1918
Dear Nanny:
I've been trying to find time to
write to you since we landed about
a week ago, but we have been so
busy locating ourselves in our camp
that we've just been on the 60 all
the time. We have the worlds
record for travel; over 5000 miles
since wrote you last.
We are located in a small town
of about 800 people, in the richest
farming district in France and I've
never seen anything so beautiful or
so pleasant. The rivers are small
and narrow and swift, run from
springs and have rock bottoms; had
a good swim in one this morning.
Wheat is the principal product and
whole fields of acres and acres
spread out across a rolling, slightly
billy country; no fence hedges with
blackberry vines all over them. The
roads are perfect, made OF white
gravel or stone. The beautiful old
farm houses are almost surrounded
with high hay stacks. Every once
in while we pass field Of grapes;
they are cultivated here like we
grow tomatoes at home, on a stick
about three feet high; rows are
plouehed regularly. This is the
most hospitable, most polite and
appreciative race I've ever had the
good fortune to be with; smile and
a good word for everybody-rich or
poor, high or low. We are the first
u S. troops ever here and the peo-
pie were pleased beyond description
to see us. We are quartered in bill
lets; we have what was once a hotel
and sleep in the hay lofts. They
are cleaned out and a nice fresh
load Of wheat straw put in and now
we are housed better, | think, than
at Beauregard.
You have heard perhaps that the
American people are the most pa
triotic in the world. Nanny, it's a
big mistake; France has us beaten a
mile. AT home some Of the ladies
are helping their Red Cross, conserv-
ing food and giving relief entertain
ments and think themselves pa
triotic. Over here the women are
conductors on trains, harvest the
crops, thresh the wheat, plow, keep
the stores, raise children and take
the place OF the men. 1all the WO-
men are in black; there are none
here except the women, old men
and children. There are only about
ten men between the ages of 10 and
SO here in a town Of 1900 and they
have been sent home because of
wounds. We passed through many
towns and cities enroute here and
one Of them, one Of the largest cities
| in France, seemed deserted, no men
at all, all Of them at the front. Not
| family in France but has lost a
son and still France, beautiful, self
sacrificing France, works on, smiling
through her sorrows, fighting and
dying with a smile.
| thought those old red hills OF
Tennessee were beautiful, but France
has them beaten; all France is
park, q flower garden. You cannot
march along her pixies or ride her
railroads and see the beautiful coun.
try. the hospitable people, see her
great unselfish sacrificing, without
