The Germans tried to come over
and be friendly but this was prohib-
tied and we kept our, same alert po-
sition, staying in the trenches ready
for any emergency until the army
was relieved. We were not sent in
to the "Lost. provinces, this honor
being. reserved for the Second Mo-
roccan Division. y
When we were relieved we started
on a march which we supposed
would take US to the Rhine and the
army of occupation but after a day
we were turned around and put in
a little town called Bruyeres, where
we stayed until January End, waiting
for transportation. We had nothing
to do so everybody went to Paris.
We had been out of the world for
so long that our pay had accumulat-
ed and we had SO much money we
didn't know what to do with it. How
ever, the people around Paris soon
made. us understand that w we're
expected to spend it, and of purse,
we had to please the French.
"How did the Germans TAX the
coming of peace?" -.
'They were glad" said Lieut..
Swetenburg. Everybody was glad.
We. found the German soldiers we'll
kept, we'll clothed and with plenty
of good liquor and cigarettes, though
when they started on their homeward
march some were waving the red
flag of revolution. Some of them
said, eve were ready for war but
you have beaten US, and it is over so
far as we are concerned"
The young lieutenant has much to
say of France that is interesting. In
the war zone it is possible to see
only the poorest class of people and
a man anywhere who owns ten acres
of land has a plantation.
They have compulsory education
and every child from eight to twelve
years must go to school.
The French people were glad al

French and according to the negroes
they got. two meals a day, the con-
tinental breakfastaof var bread and
coffee not being regarded by Sambo
as genuine meal. Dinner and sup

have, there being always plenty Of

at him as he passed BY the >regi-
ment. He is an old, old man, but is

Lieut.. Swetenburg says he saw no
inter-marrying of the races, but the
poor people of France looked on the
negroes as genuine Americans, and
he thinks they will be good Ameri-

The young soldier has a genuine
affection for his orderly, young ne
gro from, North Carolina who is
named Henry Mack .Vallines and
who was smart enough to anticipate
his wants and in. the trenches the
white soldier shared his blanket and
rations and the colored boy was gem
erous enough to divide his cootoes.
Lieut.. Swetenburg was promoted
to First Lieutenant before he left
Camp Jackson. After going abroad
only two lieutenants were promoted.

along with the civilian population we
were living on the fourteen points.
On Sunday afternoon, Nov. 10th
we understood that the Germans had
refused to accept the armistice

sure..a Monday morning we were
eating breakfast in a 'dug-out at
about ten-forty-fve, when heavy fir
ing started all along the German
lines. We thought there was going
to be raid and two young lieuten-
ants went OF run up the trenches
to see what was the matter. In some
places our trenches were only twen-
ty-fve yards apart and our observers
found that the grenades were falling
over the parapets and the machine
gun fire was directed at the side of
the mountain. At eleven o'clock the
Germans sounded "taps" and came
up over the parapet bearing a white
flag. The war was over. The heart
breaking times of the last four years
was thing of the past, and a great
sigh of relief went up and down the

MIONDELL BILL
 ID HELP VETS
 OBTAIN FARMS

The state board of agriculture, at a meeting in Hartford yesterday, ap- pointed Secretary Leonard H. Hea1y of North Woodstock as a committee to appear before the Congressional committee on agriculture at Washing ton in favor of the Mondeu bill pro- Tidfng for government loans up to $1,500.00O to help discharged soldiers, sailors and marines buy farms in New England.
 The object of the state board in urging the adoption of the MondeTl bill is to make available to energetic and ambitious service men, accuston- ed to life in the open, hundreds of first rate farms in Connecticut not be- ing worked to the best advantage either because the present owners have grown infirm with age or have died leaving no children on the farms to continue operating them. It is also desired to combat the steady flow of young people from the farms to the bright lights of the city.

 Bed and Shot.

Montgomery, Ala, Sept 3O-John Temple, negro, who last night shot anu fatally wounded Policeman John tae officer, was shot to death in a hospital shortly after o'clock this morning by a small band of white men. He was the third negro to die Iy lynch law within a period of 12 hours, Miles Phifer and Robert Crvsky, the latter a discharged sol d-er, having been shot to death by a mob five miles from the city yester- day afternoon. Still another negro. Iitrd Astor, who was with Temple when Barbare was shot, was being sought by a posse and 1t was believed his capture would result in more vio- lence
 There was no connection between the Iynching of Phifer and Crosky and the killing of Temple. The first against white women. were taken from three deputy sheriffs by a mob of about 25 men five miles from the citE. The negroes were told to run ~Or their lives, and as they started were shot down. The mob then quietly dispersed.
 Last night Policeman Barabre ar rested Temple, AstOr and a negress on a charge of disorderIy conduct as a result of a row following dance Temple resented his arrest and shot the officer but not until he himself had been wounded. In the meantime Aslor fled.

 During his stay in France Aber- crombie frequently contributed to the lads support and finally secured per mission. from army officials to bring him home.

THREE SOLDIERS
 GET TRAINING
 AND GOOD JOBS

Washington, Sept. 30-After spend ing eight weeks in the tractor and gas engine training school. following it by placement training with trac- tor company, a young Texan, who lost his left arm in service has been of fered S5 a day and his board to op- crate a tractor on a farm.
 Another farmer boy lost his leg from wounds in service. While taking a course in bookkeeping and ac- counting he spent his spare time in a bank in a Texas city, working with out pay The bank has offered him position as socn as his course is completed.
 Losing an eye in the service, another Texas boy studied gas en- zines and tractors, and then entered his supplementary placement train ing. His work was so satisfactory that the manager of the plant at which he was placed commended him, and gave him $40 bonus check for the month.
 These three Texas boys prove the efficiency of the training given them and other disabled service men by the government under the direction of the Federal Board of Vocational Education.
