Dear Mr.. Tardy:
had the pleasure of reading
the Sentinel a few weeks ago,
and was delighted to find many
letters from the A. E. F. boys,
there was one that had written
some months ago. The time that
has elapsed since then has been
filed with much excitement. un-
pleasant and pleasant moments,
and great victory. one that
made the world rejoice. If you
could have been here and seen
how happy these dear old French
were, when the glad news was
received of the signing of the
armistice, you would have been
fully repaid for any hardship OF
sacrifice you have gone through
on account of the war-thats the
way we soldiers feel about it.
AS the censor has been raised

what | tell will be facts. We
have read so many letters from
our boys. that contained thing:

Hartman, who knows a mum bel

Nettie Graves and her folk.
The girls were just bubbling
over with enthusiasm and hav.
ing the time of their lives seeing
the town in company with Amer

sailors. Five other fellows and
| had six of them yesterday
showing them around. There
were fellows here from the
States who hadn't seen an Amer
lean girl in fifteen months, and
you can imagine how good these
girls looked to them. There
were a hundred and ffty-two of
the girls, about two dozen of
whom were nurses and the 70.
mainder laboratory and canteen
workers and entertainers.
These entertainers have the best
jobs. All they have to do is to
talk to convalescent soldiers and
read to them and write letters
for them and sing and dance and
jump through a hoop anything
that will make a doughboy for

would that appeal to you. | al

morning, for different parts of
France and Italy.
A story is told of one girlin the
bunch who got in bad with nearly
everybody. Someone mistooK
her for a nurse, or asked her if
that was what she was. No, in
deed. she was no nurse. She
was no common mortal, but some
society queen, and didn't have
to work. | suppose she came
over to pose before the fellows
and let them admire her. A
sailor politely told her that he
didn't think any more of her be-
cause she was what she was,
and that, personally, he preferred
a nurse every time. All her
standing in society will do her
no good over here. The girl
with the bright smile and the
pleasant word is the one who
will be in demand.
Life is rather dull in port now
just before pay day Nothing
happens to vary the monotony,
except an occasional fight or 9
crap game. Yesterday, the
ships cook found the cat asleep
in the sugar barrel, and he
promptly lifted him out by the

back on the ship via the gang

by the aid of a parachute landed
behind our lines unharmed.
Some of the hardest and crul.
est fighting of the war occurred
in the Argonne forests. The
Germans had four years in which
to fortify this devilish wilder
ness. and they sure had done q
good job. AS we advanced on
this front we incountered heavy
barbed wire entanglements. large
trees laying at right angles COW
cred the ground, and machine
guns by the dozens were linden
among these barricades. Their
dugout S were constructed of
concrete. and furnished with
good beds, bath equipment, elec-
trio lights, pianos, lace curtains
at the windows, and other COM
forts. Judging from the prepar-
ations the Germans had made.
they expected to make that their
home for sometime to come. But
they hadn't taken into consider
alton the strength and fighting
force of the U. S. soldiers, and
when we hit them, a backward
move began, and they went so
fast that we could not keep up
with them by using cars and
trucks.

JACKSON COUNTY HEROES

The following letter from Her

His reference as to what the Y
M. C. A. is doing for the soldiers

to all who have relatives, OF

Christmas Night,
7:45 P. M.
Dear Mother: ~
| have enjoyed today very
much, although | haven't hardly
been out of my barracks. Our
platoon had a Christmas tree OF
their own. The names of the
men were dropped in hat. and
each man drew a name and
bought a present for him. SO
every man in the platoon mad a
present on the tree.
At mess this morning we were
given a coupon to go to the ~"
and get another present put up
by the Y. M. C. A. At mess at
noon we were given candy. and
real good dinner, and tonight
the "Y" is putting out hot choc-
olate free of charge. You can
see from what ! have said that
the Y. M. c. AS. are doing all
in their power to make the boys
over here comfortable, and to
make things seem as near like
things at home as possible. lean
take my hat off to anybody that
has been doing that kind of work.
Some BOYS will say. if they were
so patriotic, why didn't they go
to the front? | feel that we all
had special part to play in this
great war, and that was the task
given them. which think they
have we'll done under the adverse
circumstances, which they have
had to contend with.
On Monday | received a letter
from Jas. Draper. and he had
heard that Luke Quarles was in
Paris, but he hadn't been able to
find him. Jim was in Paris the
day President Wilson came in.
He says the French people were
so happy that they were hugg-
ing the American soldiers on
every side of him, ''and that he
was a victim several times.
The President was in about
five kilomeeters of Langres to-
day. Some of our boy went out to
see him, and they report aNwond-
erful time. | was sorry | didn't
go after hearing of the time they
had.

You would be shocked to see
how costly things are in Ger

not buy meal for less than ten

You can see that everything in
this country was once in good
condition, but the war has chang
ed things. The people are still
well fixed for living outside of
food. They are very good at
making things just right, and
they don't have things except
the very best. The people are
all very hard workers, and to my
opinion it will not be long until
conditions will be in good shape.
The stores are not very well
stocked with goods, but they
seem to be picking up and be-
ginning to get in goods now.
The people are indeed glad that
the war is over. They are all
nice to tho American soldiers,
and they seem to be glad that
their country is being occupied

FAMILY HOTEL" CAUGHT ON
RldicuIed When First Established In
London, Idea Has Met With
Enormous Success.

The first family" or Temperance"
hotel in London, the forerunner OF
tens of thousands of such hostelries in
all parts of the world. was opened IN
Covent Garden about las years ago.
An inn for the more or less permanent
accommodation of families, and minus
bar, was an undreamed-of thing, and
other hotel-keepers laughed the prof.
ect to scorn. Despite their derision,
the scheme was successful, and made
snug fortune for its founder, David
Low. London now has hundreds of
family and temperance hotels, and the
United States has thousands of them.
The edifice in which Low started
his hotel is still standing. The build
ing was erected early in the seven
teenth century, and was originally the
home of Sir Kenelm Digby. Crom-
wells council held sessions in the
building, it is said. and it was the
scene of many other noteworthy gath
erings before it was converted into
hoStelry.

AIeppo in the Middle Ages.

Aleppo's brief political greatness
thus fell beneath the hammer stroke Of
Nicephoros Phokas, but its commercial
eminence did not leave ii. For two
centuries it led a precarious political
existence-usually in vassalage to the
dominant great power. 1t was part of
the empire of the mighty Salacin, and
probably the work of his masons is to
be seen today in the citadel walls.
After Saladin and his house had passed
away Aleppo fell to the Mameluke sui
tans of Egypt. Thither in 1902 came
the terrible Timur (Tamerlane) on his
way to overthrow the army OF Egypt
at Damascus.
Timur left terrible traces of his pres
ence on Aleppo, but the city, thanks TO
its splendid situation, recovered, and
for the next century or more, indeed,
was at the height of its prosperity.
It was injured by the discovery of the
passage round the Cape of Good Hope,
but remained great and wealthy until
1922 when 1t was smitten by an earth
quake and almost completely de-
stroyed, with a loss of life calculated
at the lowest at 10000 persons. Dur
ing the thirteenth, fourteenth and f1f-
teenth centuries 1t was foremost among
the trading cities of the world. and its
renown spread far and wide.
1t was from Aleppo that the first plo-
neers of England's Indian trade and
empire started on their long journey
to the courts of the moghul emperors.
Doubtless 1t was from some of them,
or reports of their journeys which must
! have been current in Elizabethan
London, that Shakespeare and Marlowe
learned of the oriental city. At all
events, references to Aleppo are to be
found in the plays of both--less In
Shakespeare than In Marlowe, whose
bent was clearly In the direction of orr
entail glamor.
Modern Aleppo still suffers from the
destruction wrought by the catastrophe
of 1922, but there is no doubt that the
researches of skilled psychologists
would meet with rich reward in city
which has existed continuously for
1000 years, which has seen the char
ioteers of Egypt and of Khatti, the
phalanx of Alexander and the legions
of Rome, no less than the mailed horse
men of Byzantium and the savage
riders of Timur and Sellm the Grim.
The citadel walls still stand intact and
imposing; the walls of the inner city
are mainly In ruins. In the western

of an neutrality-suspicious. of The pres

Which, in Syria. as in Gaul and Brit
ain, has left indestructible evidence of
its passion for works of practical util-
