DISAPPEARS WITH
 MOTHERS SAVINGS

A young Mexican yesterday came in 10 possession of what for him was q large sum of money. but is destined to do him no good unless il should be the means of landing him in the peniten- tiary The money $270 belongs to his mother, an aged woman, the savings of years. She had kept it about the house. converting her savings into bills when they attained the amount of a bill.
 The young man yesterday morning pointed out to her the unwisdom of keeping such a sum about the house when burglaries were so frequent and suggested that she turn it over to him to put in d safe place. He was her son and she trusted him. He took the money and that was the last seen Of him.
 IL later was learned that he already had a suitcase packed when he casually referred to the peril of keeping so much money about the house. The matter was reported to the sheriff's office. It is supposed that the boy left on the early southbound train, though last night no trace of him had been ob- tained

 EXPERIENCES

Of the thousands of letters from France that have been printed in this country and of the hundreds The Re publican has printed. each presents little different viewpoint and lays stress upon some one feature of existence there that other correspondents have not thought worth while to mention. The following is from Corporal Jake Thoman to his mother, Mrs. Anry Tho man:
 Urges. France, Monday, Dec. g, 1918 Dear Mother:
 We arrived at this place last Thurs day night, expect to be here for about four weeks. First time we have been in one place for more than two days at any one time. Have marched steadily from one place to another since arriv- ing in France Have just finished our longest march, we started for the front on November 10 last. from Les Islettes. which is the last rail head going north to the front at that time, took Us six days of hard marching to join our regi- ment upon the Mouse river beyong Monzon. When We started out from Les Islettes that morning we could hear the big guns pounding away. The ar mistice had been signed before we reached our destination, so we had no chance to do any of the fighting. The Germans had evacuated Monzon the day before we reached there. but still held the ridges in front of us across the Mouse. We crossed the river that night on pontoon bridges and camped in an old farmhouse Our artillery was only miles to our rear and three bat talions of marines in support on our right. The Germans had white flags stuck up around on the ridge and were to evacuate the next day, which they did. We stoyed there two days. and

Interesting and inspiring are the ac- counts which our American women war workers bring back from France. One of the most recent to return is Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., whose eNper- fences cover seventeen months Of ac- tive service with the Y M. C. X. in France during Americas participation in the war. Mrs. Roosevelt was sent overseas early in 1917 as the first ac- credited woman worker of the Y. NJ. c. A. This was before it was forbid den officers wives to enter foreign ser vice. The impressions of Mrs. RoosC- velt of the welfare work of the Y. NJ C. X. give a clear idea of the task in those days when all the efforts were largely experimental.
 First she worked in a Paris can teen. Then at an officers club in Paris and next at the great "Y'' center at AiX-la Bains, where from 4.000 to 4.500 enjoyed short furIoughs from the trenches. These men were high strung and hard to please. according 10 Mrs. Roosevelts story, but with tire loss efforts on the part of the hostesses they were given as much rest and pleasure as possible.
 Our work at the start was ubiqui- tous,' she explains. We waited on table, scrubbed floors. painted walls and shelves-doing. by the way. no more than the gallant French women. We cooked dOughnuts and made sand wiches. The men seemed greatly grat- flied by the " work. Any complaints which have heen made are those to be expected from large number of men. We had to combat the natural ten dency of the men released from the horrors of front line service to the re = taxation of vacation hours-to complain about various things"
 Mrs. Roosevelt nursed her husband Lieut.. Col. Theodore Roosevelt, Jr.. for several months when he was sent to Paris seriously wounded.
