miles of trenches, most of which were built by the Germans. All of the roadways leading to them were eamouflaged so that airplane pilots could not see the trenches when passing along them. Even the tele- phone wires were painted various colors in order to make them less conspicuous.
 I left the vicinity of the battle fields in the evening and when I awoke next morning found myself in Germany and was surprised to find that I was sailing along the banks of the Moselle River. The country is very mountainous along the river. The mountains begin at the river banks and are almost straight up on either side. Steep as they are the Germans cultivate the land and have vineyards reaching nearly to the top of the mountains. Each grape vine has small stick about five feet long to hold it up and it surely is a sight to see those mountains covered with sticks. They are set about two feet apart and three thousand acres of them all along the river.
 In places the owners have built walls to keep the soil from washing down as it is so steep that heavy rain would wash it down, vines and all. It looks almost impossible to climb around on the sides of the mountain to plant the vines, but the people not only plant them and gather the fruit but they fertilize them by carrying the fertilizer in baskets strapped to their backs. The grapes are used to make the famous Moselle wine. The Moselle enters the Rhine river at Coblenz and I crossed both rivers there. went on above Coblenz about twenty-five miles to a town named Nueweid and stopped there half a day. I went in bathing in a big swimming pool and it sure seemed good after tra- yelling so long. When I left Nueweid l got on the wrong train and was half way to Berlin before I found out my mistake but it did not bother me any as it was very interesting country l passed through. On my return trip I stopped in Coblenz twenty-four hours and I saw the greater part of the city and had a good time in general. The cities are all very pretty and very cleanly kept.
 Food is very scarce there in Ger many and they have no tobacco nor soap. The people treat the soldiers fine and most of them like it there. On my return trip I also came through Luxemburg and Metz and then down to Paris stopping there for twenty-four hours. I was some tired when I got back to camp but was glad to have so many letters waiting for me. There were seven teen in all and it took me about three hours to read them. I can tell you more about the country and bet ter than I can write when I get back home, so l will wait till then to give you better description.
 Hoping to hear from you soon, will close with lots of love.
 Your loving nephew,
 Sergeant Elias B. Palmer.

PLENTY OF POTASH AND INTER-

Good news for American farmers
comes from Pennsylvania. A noun
tain in Tioga county has been found
bv State Geologist Demming to De
composed of rock analysing from ~
to AIS per cent potash. In additloh
there is a high percentage OF inter IL
the rock. Another mountain lie"
miles distant in Potter county Is Vi
the same geological formation and II
is believed it will yield abundantly OF
the same valuable minerals.
Colonel Demming, the geologlst' eH'
presses the view that the potash is
present in the first mentioned noun
tain in Colossal quantities" The
lowest estimate of the amount pres
ent is 100000 tons. The pure ar
ticle can be extracted by a simple
process and at a cost, on a large SCALE
of $40 a ton. Potash now sells al
$500 ton.
The saltpeter (niter) deposits lie IN
seams an inch or two thick between
the layers of the potash-bearing rock.
Our inter comes now, principally from
Chill, though some is found in this
country in various forms. 1t is high
in price, no matter in what form 1t
may be offered in fertilizers, whether
in sulphate Of ammonia, nitrate OF
soda, or in organic by-products.
Specimens of the rock of this noun
tain have been analysed at several
state agricultural colleges and two
universities, all of which have made
favorable reports as to the high per,
centage of these two valuable miner
ais according to the Philadelphia
North American. Both minerals have
many uses in the arts and inter partic'
ularly in the manufacture of explos
ives, besides being indispensable in
agriculture.
With the discovery, if it is all thai
it is thought to be, America has abun
dant supplies of the three principal
minerals employed in agriculture:
Potash, inter and phosphate. The
soil of most American fields has beer

the Great War for potash. Now II
may be that there will be an abund
ance and America may be independ
ent of Germany and of Alsace also il

Indifference manifest that was doubt

the voters and the election as extern
sively advertised as it should have
been. In an endeavor to get as full
a report of the returns as possible.
yesterday, the Telegram got in touch
with every possible point by phone

find that at many places in the
county there had been practically no
notice of the election and as a con-
sequence the vote was not brought

it is to be deeply regretted. Our fu..

LEARNING TO BE A CIVILIAN
Discharged British Soldier Testifies
That He Finds New Feeling
Out of Uniform

Is the glamor of uniform wearing
off?
After three years of service clothes
| have just spent my first days in
civilian attire. Surprising to tell,
believe | have met with more civility
out of uniform than in it, "R. G."
writes in the continental edition of
the London Mail.
Two possible solutions Of this re-
markable attitude occur to me. The
first is that most officers appear to be
rather stern and stand-offish in uni
form. The other solution, and per-
haps an equally probable one, is that
the public is getting tired of seeing
so many officers going about aimlessly
with apparently nothing much to do
except to spend money and kill time.
Naturally, l suppose, when l first
went out in "civvies" | had the in
grained inclination to salute all SUI
perior officers | met and to prepare to
take salutes from the ranks. 1t took
me the best part of day to overcome
this impulse.
The "sir" habit was very strong,
too. On my first morning as civil
ian / had to see a colonel at the war
office on business-business in which
our standing was at least equal-and
l Immediately Stirred" him, of course,
Force of habit, pure and simple.
Again there is the matter of run
ming after an omnibus or across the
road-in uniform one tries to make a
point of not doing these things Now.
however, when example" has not
longer to be considered, | find it prac-
tically impossible to chase an omni-
bus or flee from an cncoming taxicab.
The instinct is against doing so.
Apparently it is just as necessary to
relearn how to be civilian as it once
was to learn to be a soldier.

BROUGHT FORTH A MOUSE

If that attempt of the governor to
hold a convention at Jacksonville to
consider the question of high cost of
living in Florida had been free from
the suspicion that it was one of the
political moves for which the COVER
nor has become more or less famous,
it is just possible that something good
might have come of it.
But when the list of speakers at
the convention is published, and one
realizes who were the men who an
swered the governors invitation, not
ing that they have had little to dc
with the production or with industrial
activity, the suspicion is confirmed
that the governor had something VI
his sleeve beside a real desire to low
er the cost of living to the people Of
this state.
One thing noticeable was suggested
as a result of the meeting, at which il
was said that twenty people, out Of
the twenty thousand invited, were
present. And that was that the gov
ernor call special session of the leg
islature to consider the high cost o.
living and to devise means to defea
it.
Now isn't that fine solution
Will someone please tell us what abil
ity there is in the legislature to solve
this question upon which the ables
minds of the country are at work an(
are finding it to be an almost unsolv
able riddle?
Then again, will someone pleas,
elucidate the proposition, that thu
state of Florida is to be called upol
to spend something like, twenty o
twenty-five thousand dollars for tn
purpose of lowering the cost of Twin,
to the individual and at the SAM
time heaping up on the already high
ly taxed individual the necessity TO
paying for this costly special session
AS the darkies say, huccome?
| If that is all that the convention
brought forth, after it's travail, tn,
matter can be disposed of very easily
the state doesn't want any such spe
cial session of the legislature-it ha
had one.-Miami Herald.
