Perth Amboy evening news., 1919-03-07

sored. I returned to the battery the
day before Christmas and upon ar
rival / was greeted with twelve let
tiers which were just like a Christmas
present to me. / stayed with the bat
terry for q few days and was fortu-
nate enough to have the privilege of
being one of the first in the battery to
receive a furlough. ] started out on
my furlough on New Years day and
arrived at my destination on January
s, and intend to stay here a little over
a week. I am in the village where
all the millionaires from b U. 8. A.
come to spend the sumper. This
town is surely a beauti1ur spot, Sit
uated in a valley and surrounded by
large mountains.
On one of the mountains is a large
waterfall, called the Cascade Falls.
which can be seen from a long dis
lance. Everything worked fine until
dinner came and then we had to
gather around the table M my trou-
bles begna- Nor eating at a table and
not out of a mess kit made me feel
out of place. But the worst is yet to
come as I have to sleep in a real
bed tonight. h government is pay
ing all my expenses.
There is a large casino here in
which there is everything to entertain
l~us. 1t has been showing all day it,
being one of the first snow storms we
got here. / was to Doremy once the
| place where Joan of Arc was born
! and went through the house. 1 have
been in the cathedral which is being
built on the very spot where Joan of
Arc saw her vision. 1t is n of the
prettiest cathedrals ever built.
From Private Hans @. Mott, 152nd
Aero Squadron A. e. f.
1 wish to take the opportunity of
expressing what I believe to be the
opinion of the majority of the boys
in the A. Z. F. in regards TO prohl-
bition. Taking away our privileges
while we are away does o seem to
us to be very fair to all American
citizens and not the kind of support
| we are looking for. The opinion pre-
walls hat while the boys were all In
France fighting, sacrificing life and
blood to make the world safe for De-
mocracy, the prohibitionists and leg
islators who stayed at home have TAX
en- the advantage and stabbed us in
the back. Who represented America
on the battlefields? The prohibitionists
or the boys who went over tie top? If
we could have done as some of the
drys advocate-stayed at home per-
haps there would be a different view
taken.

wines and beer, although we know
that liquor has been the ~ruination OF
many a home and has caused women
n children to go without being fed
and without clothes. But why not
make \ law TO limit the sale of all
liquors n give us all a chance to
vote on it. Tie government has made
q success of limiting TIE sale Of sug
or, flour and a good many Other
thlrgs and II has proved 30 be a good
thing in helping to win this terrible
war. So now why could not they
! make a success of holding down the
LIQUOR limit. The soldiers, sailors and
marines will be very indignant over
the fact hat while they are over
seas going through al kinds of hard
ships hat when they return they I'm
the country absolutely dry without
their having any voice in the matter
whatever. We think the pro hibition-
lists have taken advantage of our alb
sence and wonder Il they do not fee
ashamed in the way they won their
wonderful victory?
