he works the same little piece of
land with the same old system and
same old machinery. They really
produce more per acre than we do in
America, because they work a wheat
held like we work a flower garden,
but they do not produce much per
man. have found while on my work
inspecting this farm machinery and
talking with these French farmers
that great portion of the farm lands
in France are controlled by British
capital; that explains some of this
renting system, and also some of
England's interest in France and the
war itself. Well I won't bore anyone
in this letter about these French
farms.
You ask in your letter about my
opinion of France and the French peo-
pie, and I think that I can explain
why so many of the returned soldiers
have different opinions of France and
the Frenchmen.
Working in the Motor Transport
Corps have had chance to see every
part of France and meet the people of
these different parts of the country.
AS you know, in our dear old U. S. A.
almost every state has it's different
laws and customs, and a man from
the west is different from the man
from the east, and so with the north
and south. So would say that there
are not two states in the U. S. A.
with laws and customs alike; then if
this is the case the people in the diff
ferent state of the U. S. A. must be
a little different also.
Now this same thing is true in
France, only believe a little more
so than in America. Their states, or
Departments" as they are called
over here, are very small; in fact
some are about as large as our coun-
ties are in the U. S. A. In fact France
is only about as large as one of our
states. Well in some of the states
of France the people are not as nice
as in other states, so one has to really
see all of France to appreciate the
French people.
Some American soldiers have been
just stationed in one place, so they
only know the people Of that one
place, and they really do not know
France or the French people.
That l believe is the reason why so
many different soldiers have so many
different opinions of France and the
French. .\
A great many Americans over here
claim that the French merchants
charge them hold-up prices for the
things that they buy.
Well the Yanks over here spend
their money like water and buy a lot
of silly trash for souvenirs, ETC., SO
can you blame the French store keepe,
for taking the money when the
Yankee forces it onto him. Just
imagine how some of our Jews would
bleed the Frenchmen if they had the
chance.
In fact even, before / came over
everything was just about double price
for soldier in any store in the
states. For myself, well, would say
that I like the French people very
much, because they are sincere anG
frank and they don't shoot any hot
air. I will tell you more about them
when write again. -. 4

THE country is very pretty here

rather early in comparison with

out in full leaf, and some of the early
fruit trees are showing pretty with
blossoms. The wheat fields are like
great green carpets, and are especial
ly pretty, here, because the French
don't separate their fields with fences
as we do in America. I noticed on
passing through England that they
have a great many hedges in place of
fences around their fields and farms,
but in France one very seldoms sees
a fence except near the villages or
around cemetery; then these are
generally low stone walls.
I The French use a great many farm
implements with a U. S. A. trade
mark on them, but still most of the
French farmers are about so years
behind the times in their method of
farming. / think that this is mostly
due to the fact that they are still

system in which the Lords control the
lands. This system is rotten, because
the peasant who really works the land
and produces the farm products does

North Pacific Ocean

There has been discussed the need of a
comprehensive exploration of the Pacific
ocean. 1t is believed, observes a writer,
that such an undertaking should be on a
far greater scale than has hitherto been at
tempted, and that future work should be
broadly areal rather than local, as on single
islands, or linear, as in single voyages.
The work of the magnetic survey ship Car
negie, which makes repeated trips over
many interviewer sea routes, is an example
of the kind of exploration that is wanted
In the opinion of men of science, it should
be continuous through ten or twenty years.
1t has been shown how little definite infor-
nation the world has about the largest of
the oceans, One specialist declares that in
the north Pacific there is a tract twice as
large as the United States that has been
crossed by only single line of sounding at
intervals of $50 miles wide, and that there
are number of tracts as large as this coun-
ty that are entirely unfathomed.- Sci.

Affection of the Elephant

1t is commonly supposed that large an
imals of tropical junges express sense OF
ferocity, but this is not true of the elephant,
which is only fierce when his self-protection
demands it. Perhaps no other animal is SC
affectionate as the elephant. Whatever a
horse, a dog, cat or any domestic animal
will do for its master an elephant will do,
if it is possible with equal promptness;
however, this is the case only if the ele-
phant has been treated with kindness.
In the East, in India and in Africa, ele-
plants are not properly rewarded for their
kindness and service to man. In India
this creature is hunted, made prisoner, and
forced to work in great lumber yards. In
Africa, his existence is threatened because
OF the way that men track him down fol
ivory. If only the demands for ivory would
cease, the elephant might be free to &c
about his accustomed ways and then he
would always show his affectionate nature.
