A New Light On Cards of Thanks

| we'll known to the writer iron his own personal experience. He has, and believes many others will, come to view the matter from a more understanding an lg gle after reading the following | human>interest editorial from the pen of Thurman Miller. edl tor of the Wilmington tO.) News. It was printed under the title of Neighbors and Friends. /"
 II have been in the newspaper business now just nine years. The past six of them have been very busy. yet very delightful, years to me as editor of this pa per-the home paper for the people of Clinton county.
 T say this about myself mere ly to prepare the way for saying that during these years 1 have written hundreds of Cards of Thanks for people who found. when they came to the office with an obituary, that the expression of thanks 10 neighbors and 
 friends was lacking; for people who had been i'll for long time and recovered; for some who had met with a calamity. like the burning of the home or their barn, or some accident.
 I did this work for the good people always with what kind ness was natural to ne, but at that it was done in a very per functory manner and with as much brevity as dispatch. 1 understood that the people were doing it in sincere gratitude. and 1 was willing to help along the best 1 could. busy as 1 always was.
 But until the past month 1 have never appreciated what card of thanks means; l have never known what neighbors and friends actually mean.
 You will understand that I have not failed to appreciate my neighbors and my friends, they have been the joy of my fife. but actual dependence upon them aud continued kindnesses from them. coming from scores and hundreds of people Is a new ex- perience for ne, and one that has brought a new light upon life.
 For example my next-door neighbor for five weeks has fired my furnace, carried out the ash- es, kept my two noisy boys for days and nights at a stretch, ex- tended the use of his telephone when mine had to be discon- nected, and in addition given us the full output of his milk factory besides doing me and my stricken family a thousand and one kindnesses-and all I could do was lie there and say thank you. not being able to go on and explain that some day I was go- ing to get even some way.
 And since l have been able to be up and around the house for a week, have begun to under stand how it came that I didn t die like so many people did-I couldn't die. There was no logic in my dying dying and leaving my family and Wilmington and all my friends and neighbors: Impossible, have found during the past ten days what the poet meant when he said that it Is only in the agony of parting that we look into the depths of love.
 They tell me that I went down into the valley. where the shadows are long and dark, but the going and the return have brought new expectations of many things-of life. of home, of friends and of everything.
 1 now understard d about the cards of thanks as I never did

New York, Jan. 5.-Five transports
and the battleship North Carolina
steamed into New York harbor today
bringing total of nearly 5000 Off
GERS and men Of the army and navy
from France.
The North Carolina, which is the
s6Sat ihat tleahip.- -tA-arrixe. here with,
troops from overseas, had among her
1889 passengers a detachment of ma
rines who had seen service at Cha
teau-Thierry, Belleau Wood and the
Argonne Forest, and 10 officers and
994 men of the One Hundred and
Thirteenth Ammunition Train.
The giant transport Agamemnon,
which formerly was the Kaiser Will
helm II of the North German Lloyd
line, brought the biggest contingent
Of any Of the ships arriving today,
having on her passenger list ITS off,
GERS and 2711 men. The list included
$50 wounded and more than 1000 Off
GERS and men Of the Three Hundred
and Thirty-ffth Infantry, as well as
number of casuals.
Baker Greets Men
Secretary Baker, who was on his
way to Washington from Buffalo,
where he spoke last night, visited the
Agamemnon and spent half an hour
chatting with the troops on board.
The other vessels arriving were the
Santa Teresa with 73 officers and 1909
men of the One Hundred and Forty-
fifth Field Artillery, recruited in
Utah; tn Henderson, with 28 officers
and 818 men, including members of

however, as the Americans surged
forward.

member Of the Thirty-ffth Infantry
Of the Stonewall Division, returned
with a paralyzed cheek, resulting
from wound suffered at Stenay, where
