A LETTER FROM BoURcEs.
IN FRANCE
Bourges, France, FEB. 1. 1919.

Bourges, France, Feb. |, 1919.
Dear Mother and Papa -
| am enclosing some views of Bour-
ges, ! hope you will get them in good
shape. Notice the high roofs and the
gables of the houses. From the top
of the cathedral you get an excellent
view of the town and the surrounding
country You can see, believe, even
further from the top OF this building
than you can from the top Of Look
out Mountain, ! mean you can see
more country The reason for this is
the country is more level.
1t has been warm and pleasant for
the last few days. With showers. 1t
reminds me more Of our March
weather at home than anything else.
Last night the wind blew quite hard
and today it is getting colder.
haven't heard thunder or seen light
ming since | have been in France and
| miss il.
| wish you both could see this
army post here, it is wonderful what
my Uncle Sam can dot am satisfied
that this is the best equipped camp in
France. 1t is no more than an Amer
ican town of 4,500 population made up
principally Of soldiers. There are big
stone barns with concrete floors and
wooden barracks where the men
sleep, these are all electrically lighted
and heated with big stoves. Then
there are the big mess halls, where
the men are fed and good bath
house where you can get a shower
bath. The streets are busy places. |
there are big trucks hauling supplies
and building materials all the time,
Fords as plentiful as at home and big
officers cars and motor cycles are
plentiful, too, you certainly have TO
watch your step. You can see gangs
of men cleaning and fixing streets
with a man with a rife on his shoul-
der following them. Other places you
can see bunch of fellows with
manhole open hXing water pipes and
sewers, there are new buildings going
up all the time. There are about as
many white men and Negroes here
wearing overalls and doing carpenter
work, plumbing, handing supplies,
whitewashing and doing such things
as there are in town the same size
in the United States. They have
FIRE company and newspaper is pub
lished here in this camp. There are
two big buildings down by the gate
and at night when they are lighted up
they look like the NJ. S hotel does.
With lots and lots of love and may
God bless you both.

1t takes but little push to start
a stone rolling down hill, and many
heavy-hearted human being has
been sent into the depths because of
push in the wrong direction. 1t
may be because it is easier to push
than pull that we move along with
the crowd, saying inwardly," each
one for himself" and scarce think
it worth while to lend helping
hand where it is most needed.

gThe person who stands on the
street corner looking around for
something to gossip about or to find
fault with, can always find what he
is looking for. But what life he
lives. His soul shrivels and with
ers until it is shown in his manner
and looks. For such a person life
has lost its SAVIOR. 1t becomes sour,
misanthropic, whining. He passes
from bad to worse and sees no good

REPRESENTED
AT WAR WORK CONFERENCE

A rare privilege is being enjoyed by
the Mississippi delegates at the War
Work Conference of the y. M c. A.
now being held at Blue Ridge, North
Carolina Here, in the heart Of the
Blue Ridge Mountains, are gathered
hundred representative ministers,
educators, lawyers and business men
from North Carolina, South Carolina,
Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi
and Tennessee. These men, under the
leadership of some OF the ablest in
structors of the South, who have de-
voted their lives to the consideration
OF economic, social and religious
problems. arc studtyjjQg 81 tal
questions OF tile. ef ..1c -.f y per-
iod.
This is the fourth of series of
seven schools of ten days each, al
each Of which Mississippi is entitled
10 fifteen delegates. The State is di-
yided into districts and two delegat-
es, one a minister and one a layman,
may be sent from each district.
Ii was the pleasure of the writer to
attend the school extending from Feb,
21st TO March 3rd inclusive, being the
delegates from Iuka, ,Tishomingo Coun-
ty, in company with Rev. John Fred
Henderson, d. d., the representative
of the State of Mississippi.
1t is not the purpose of these con-
ferences to map out arbitrary pro-
grams or to formulate opinions for
those who attend, but simply to afford
an opportunity for the instructors
and the delegates to study together
the great problems that have arisen
or which will arise in the near future
Those who attend should not do so
with the idea simply Of enjoying a
vacation. Here are gathered some Of
the most earnest thinkers of the
Southeast and devoted minds are
striving to reach a solution of the
religious, economic, scial and civic
problems which confront us. About
seven hours a day are given over to
the lecture wrk
Those who comprise Mississippi's
representatives are r. M. Bradley,
Cleveland; X. M. Boone, Cleveland;
o. S. Lewis, Vicksburg; X. A. Tuck
or, Grenada; NJ. McKibben, Grenada
]. B. Andrews, Enterprise; ". c. Cliff
ford, Enterprise; J. A. Huff, Poplar

Strickland, Belmont; Wayne Allen,
Collins; X. II. Watkins, Collins ]. +.
Henderson, Iuka w. r. Winston,
Cleveland; B. w. Griffin, Jr, Vicks-
burg.
These men have been strengthened
and inspired by their study and ex-
perience. Some small sacrifices may
be necessary to give the required time
for the conference, but each delegate
will feel amply repaid; for there will
come the realization that probably
during no equal period during his life
has there been the same development
and growth. Mississippi is asked to
continue to send her full quota of ff-
teen delegates, since here is the loss
if she falls short.
Mote: The above account was un-
animously adopted by the Mississippi
Delegation as an expression OF appre-
citation of the Conference).

'GERMANY'SSTAND

BERLIN, Thursday. December IL
(by the Associated. Press) Germany 8
reply to the last notes from The su-
| preme council of the peace conference
has been sent to Versailles Nothing
has been given out relative to its con-
| tents aside from a hint that its general
tenor reciprocates the conciliatory tone
of the last communication from the en-
tente.
timatfons in the German reply that the
| Berlin government has taken position
| that failure to ratify the treaty by the
United States has created an altered
situation, and, it is limited. it is said,
| that treaty action by the United States
| fair that does not absolve the other
| powers from the obligation of exchang-
| ing notifications.
Said to Renew Ship Disclaimer.
! Reports state that the reply renews
| the governments disclaimer of RESPONSE
bility for the sinking of interned Ger
| man warShips at Scapa Flow, and sets
ellis insistence upon compensation for
the scuttled vessels.
1t is said to claim that the objec-
tionable passage from the letter from
| Admiral Won Trotha, head of the
German admiralty. to Admiral Won
REUTER-, COIHH1duucT Ol the NcTuld
ships. was not translated properly
and that it was 'out of context with
| the rest of the letter."
On the proposition that Germany
| sign the protocol to the peace treaty
| and permit the issue involving the
selection of indemnity tonnage to be
adjusted later. it is reported the note
| proposes that the latter be forth
with submitted to body of experts.
This stand is taken because of the i'm
portance of the matter to German har-
Dor facilities. 1t is hoped to obtain
a concession of the Scapa Flow issue
and it is believed the note indicates
a measure of obstinacy over yielding
on this point.
! Attempt to Temporixe Seen.
Belief is expressed here that the
reply attempts to temporize in an eff
| fort to obtain a modification of the
demand for indemnity for vessels
sunk at Scapa Flow. It is said also
that the reply seeks to persuade the
entente that demands for the extra
diction of German officers and men
accused of violations of thef laws OF
war are fraught with serious interna1
aspects.
