Dear Bobbie.
Guess you will be somewhat sur
prised to hear, from me since I have
been away for most year and moi
written you. often think of you and
the good people of old Polk county
and long for the time to come when
/ can be with you again,
At present We are at st. Bin, a
small village little south of Metz
and Nancy not very far from Chau-
mont and Chateau. Chaumont is Gen
eral Pershing's headquarters but |
haven't seen him yet. Some " the
Eoys saw him one Sunday when he
passed through enroute to Metz This
is rather old village. Some of the
dates go back for over a thousand
years. One old church in Manois. a
small village, not very far from here,
has a date on the door which dates
back nearly one hundred years before
America was discovered. Some of the
old buildings show that they have
been there for many hundred years !.
The streets are narrow and nasty
The people are not very careful about
what they put in the streets and the
sanitary condition is not very good,
vet they are well up along certain
lines. The road system Of this coun-
try is something wonderful. They
have had something to keep them up
since the beginning of the war.
AS to myself, | have had many ex-
periences since we crossed the At
lantic last August, but | never saw
any active service on the front. We
were held in reserve and didn't see
any active service. am in the heavy
artillery and they didn't do much at
ter the Germans begun retreating SO
rapidly that we couldn't keep up with
them.
Don't know when we will be home
but we hope to be there some time
this summer. OF course we are all
more than anxious to get back, yet
there are several days for some OF us
to wait before we can see home again.
When 1t is convenient write me a
long letter telling me all of the news
Give my regards to all the boys.
Sincerely,

CHURCH SERVICE ON RIVER
Floating Edifice Adapted 60 Needs Of
His Pensioners ls Idea Of an
English Clergyman.

The most interesting floating church
I'm the United Kingdom is the church
on the fens at Holme, near Peterbor-
ough.
II was erected by Rev. G. M. Broke,
because the ordinary parish church
was too far from some Of his parish
toner's.
The interior Of this church-boat is
80 feet long, o feet wide and z feet
high. 1t was impossible to build it
higher on account OF the bridges that
cross the canal. The boat is fitted ex-
actly like a church, with miniature
font, prayer desks, and the tiniest of
American organs.
None of the inhabitants live more
than a mile from the river and the
three or four stations at which the
church stops. An endeavor is made
to allow every station to have at least
one Sunday afternoon service month.
The boat holds 40 people, but in the
summer there are often just as many
on the bank, for when the boat win
dows are open it is an easy matter
TO follow the service.

Oh, Johnny was once luxurious boy.
On fashions attire he insisted.
A pink tea afforded him generous joy
TIL one day he went out and enlisted
Oh, you wouldn't know Jack
Were he now to come back
With his rugged complexion OF tan
A ca1lus expands
On his muscular hands,
And Jack is q regular man.
Oh. Johnny could dance with unwearying
grace;
Rose petals he dropped in his tea,
He loitered through life at an indolent
pace
Til he made the trip over the sea.
Oh, you wouldn't know Jack,
As his boot makes track
That is rugged and broad In it's span
His beard won't behave,
He has no time to shave,
But he sure is a regular man.

PROTECTORATE OF ONE
POWER FOR ARMENIA is
CONSIDERED PROBABLE

Paris, Ian. 3.-Commcul, i'm Ger
tain Italian newspapers ON the east
ern policy OF France, in which refer
cncc has been made to Italian inter
ests that should be considered, have
attracted additional attention here
to the question OF Syria Armenia,
and other eastern countries, the iu-
turc OF which probably will be de-
cidcd by the peace conference. On
the SuppoSition that the convention
Of 1915, between France, Great Brit
ain and Russia, regarding Asia Mi
nor and other matters affecting
relations between entente powers,
must have been communicated 90
the Italian government, it is not APP
pretended that there will be any
serious conflict OF official views.
DEVELOPMENTS in the discussion OF
Syria's future at the Franco-Syriar
conference at MarsciIlcs are awaited
with great interest. The viewpoint
here is that Syrian as well as French
delegates went to thaJ conference to
discuss the question on the theory
Of an extension OF French influence
in that country. 1t is expected th,I
some definite expression OF the de
sires OF the Syrian people will be
made through their delegates.
1t is pointed out that the whole
eastern question is difficult of early
solution. Countries like Armenia, for
instance, will be scarcely able to
work out their own line OF ac,.ou
soon enough to present u definite
program OF future government for
consideration by the peace confer
encc unless the latter is fell in pro-
tracted session.
While representatives OF Armenia
have been supposed to favor an in
ternational protcctorate for their
