Germany, Dec IS, 1918
Dear Friends, Annie and Billy:
1 will now write you a few lines

when l used to swing you and M. NJ
in the old maple tree. Ha! Hal Wish
was swinging you again. That's the
life Of happy kid.
Well, Christmas will soon be here.
and I am wondering what you and
Billy are going to do. God knows what
/ will be doing then, but trusting that
1 will be home, or on my way. l am
sitting in house of an old German
woman where another fellow and
have a room. We are both writing on
her table. When we can't think Of any
thing else to write We stop ana discuss

others, and the benefits have gotten, l

We have been having a little hike
since the armistice was signed. Our
little hike amounted to over two hun
dred miles and now we are about 20
miles across the River Rhine and the
hike is ended. Now for home and then
I will be satisfied. l am no longer in
France am in Germany.
We are having some housekeeping
on feather beds every night. And be-
lieve me, they feel natural. sure. Makes
me think of home. We have been hik-
ing since November IL and believe me,
we have hiked over some miles.

is Teddy and how is hunting around
there? ! sure would like to hunt some

for quite a while has been Germans.
Believe me, l have bagged quite few

LAUREL

+ An ordinance providing for a bond
issue of 100000 passed final reading
at the regular meeting of Council on
Thursday night The money which the
town is endeavOring TO raise is to be
""ssed to grada guitar end nhharwise
improve the streets Of the town and
to provide an adequate sewerage sys-
TEN.
This is the third time the bond issue
has come before the voters of the town.
The first time it was overwhelmingly
defeated; the second time it was lost
by two votes. Later it became known
that many citizens who were strongly
in favor of the measure did not get
out to vote. On the whole, however,
most people were satisfied, as it was
felt that it would be hardly wise to
begin the street and sewerage i'm
provement while the great war was
going on, with its consequent high
price for the materials required and
the decided shortage Of labor. Since
then conditions have greatly changed.
There is no shortage Of labor and
wages are not high, and it is also
known that the cost of materials has
dropped considerably.
With the new State highway coming
to the town limits on both the north
ern and southern sides, progressive
citizens are desirous of putting the
streets in keeping with the improved
State roads.
Announcement has been made Of a
special election to be held in the Coun-
Gil chamber on Tuesday, February
Is, when the freeholders Of the town
will be given an opportunity to express
their approval or rejection Of the bond
measure.

Dear Mother and All:
Today we received the first mail for
over four weeks and l got my share
OF the small lOt-fOur letters, two
from you. Maybe this wasn't some
glad bunch, too. ! also got one from
a Mr.. Pickens. He is now in Benas-
con, but at present that is quite some
distance from us, although if we con-
tinue on in Germany maybe we will
go that way. l surely would like to
see him.
Just had to stop long enough to go
down stairs and get my car ready for
one Of the boys. He started out on a
trip over an hour ago and something
got the matter with his old "Liz" so
Of course l know mine is always in
readiness, so 1 got him off with it. Was
thinking yesterday while having a new
rear spring put in: If | could have
all these tires, tubes, and front and
rear springs, yes, and loads of other
parts that 1 have charge over, back
home just how nice it would be. Break
a spring every day or puncture a tire
also, and all you have to do when you
run out OF same is just sign a slip and
get everything new. l counted the
extra tires today and I only had twelve.
That's not so bad, is It?
Am now all alone. The rest Of the
crowd have gone out town-some to
the movies 1 suppose-and the Lieut.
no one knows. He steps in here at
night sometimes.

The teachers Of lower Sussex held
their local institute in the school build
ing on Saturday, February Sth. and
many educational problems were dis
cussed. Superintendent Jump Of New
Castle County was present and gave
a very interesting and inspiring talk
on Delaware Schools. Great things
were predicted for the education of our
children in the future and if public
opinion will favor the teachers and
give them more ideal conditions, they
will put Delaware first in education
instead of thirty-secOnd among the
States Of the Union.
The Educational Commission has
called upon our principal to hold a
meeting in this district to discuss the
educational bill that is now before the
Legislature. This meeting will be held

program will be given by the school
children. Every parent is urged to
be present. Among the speakers ex-
pected is Senator Asa Bennett.

France, Dec. 27, 1918.
My dear Father;
My first Christmas in France was a
pleasantly spent as the circumstance
would permit. The celebration in thi
country in no wise approaches thl
grand festivities that customarill
crown that happy day in our owl
beloved country. Santa Claus seemi
to be universal parsonage and the
French children place their "sabots'
(wOOden shoes) in front of the large
open fireplace in hope that the "Pert
de Noel" will not forget them in his
annual visit. When | asked a little
girl why she didn't hang up her stock
ing she replied that her sabots would
hold more than her short stockings
The effects Of the great war are be-
ing more keenly felt now at the
Christmas tide. The customary ex-
change of gifts and other evidences of
the season are almost entirely lack
ing. Very few children, even the we'll
tO-dO, have received anything. Never
theless it was a supremely happy
Christmas for them.
l took a walk in the morning through
the country. l passed the home OF a
friend of mine, an old man whose
kindly and courteous manner made
him much liked by the soldiers. He
was going to visit neighbor whose
Christmas was being happily spent
because of the return from the front
of son, battle SCARED POilu.
The father. mother and son were
sitting in front Of the open fireplace
When we entered they welcomed US
with that instructive courtesy of the
French that one soon appreciates as
more than an empty fOrmality. War,
OF course, formed the substance and
background of their conversation. The
POilu, in company with his two broth
ers, at the very beginning of the war
left the farm to be titled by the hands
of their old and heartbrOken parents
and joined the blue clad procession
that like a ribbon stretched from Bor-
deauX to the great military stations on
Belgium's soil. They became separ-
ated through the vicissitudes of war
and lost from each other and their par
ents. After months of anxious wait
ing the father received a note written
by cOmrade saying that his boy had
made the supreme sacrifice, helping
the English at Ypres. Somewhere in
that vicinity in the vast ruins and
waste was his burial spot-no one
knew where.
But the old madam smiled through
her tears and expressed the most gen
nine gratitude that her two other sons
were brought back by the Bon Pere
lie Noe", as she expressed It.
There is hardly a home in this little
village where the four years have not
a father, son or brother, but
1t this merry season they look forward .
md not backward As the old madam
'emarked, the thought of the appalling
osses was not a burden but an i'm
letus that would spur them on to the
'ealiZatiOn of the better days. They
lsked for no gifts. Peace had brought
hem the very acceptable gift.
l haven't heard from home for some
ime. Please write more frequently.
hope to be home in a couple of
months. Love to all.

The majority of the French girls who love become Americans through mar rying men and officers of the Amer ican Expeditionary Force are steno- graphers, salesgirls or teachers, with a sprinkling of peasant girls and those of the middle class or bourgeoise.

HOTEL MEN GETTING
 READY FOR DRY LAW
 BY CHANGING SYSTEM
Many Profess That It Will Ruin Their Business, But It Is Claimed Facts Do Not
 Bear Out Such.

NEW YORK, May 7.-Hotel men of the North Atlantic States, ex- cepting groups with headquarters in the metropolis who profess to see nothing but ruin ahead if prohibition is enfodced, expect to be doing busi- ness at the old stand in the days impending when the mahogany bar and the connections more or less my steriously mixed by the white aproned dignitary behind it became matters of history.
 Despite predictions of the city and state bonifaces' associations of New York that large numbers of hostelries will be forced out of busi ness by the advent of the dry regime, the majority of persons well informed regarding hotel affairs hold to the opinion that as such situa- coast and westward to the Appalach- ians, they declare, proprietors Of city, town and country hotels, both of the commercial and tourist types are mapping out means of obtaining from other sources revenues equiv alent to those derived from the sale of intoxicants. Popularized dining rooms, tea and dance parlors, sof drink grills and even the plebian soda fountain are innovations plann- ed and, in some cases, already in operation with success surprisingly gratifying to their owners.
 And a revival of automobile tour ing, which had less than half the normal volume last summer, when America was at the height of her war effort, is expected to prove potent outside factor in tiding the majority of hotels over the transition period slated to begin with enforce ment of wartime prohibition July 1
