WILL RETAIN GRAND DUCHESS

Luxembourg, Sept. 29.-The plebis
cite held yesterday resulted in ma
jority in favor of the retention OF
Grand Duchess Charlotte as ruler and
for customs union with France.
Women, old and young, notWlth-
standing the heavy early morning
rain, went to the polls and voted with
the men. 1t is believed that the wo-
mems vote proved the deciding factor
in favor of the present ruler, Grand
Duchess Charlotte. The clericals, who
are supporting the Grand Duchess,
paved the way for woman suffrage
in Luxembourg.
Chief local interest was displayed
in the question of an economic alliance
whether this should be between the
Grand Duchy and Belgium or France
owing to the dependence of the iron
industry on outside raw materials.
An alliance with France was urged
on the ground that France is the only
Power able to give the coal needed
for iron industry.

man with sufficient room for the long
journey. 1t was vastly different from
the first journey the engineers made
across France. No delay is expected
at the southern port, only compare
lively small number of troops being
routed home through that city. How
ever, it may-take several days longer
to embark there than at the ports on
the western coast of France.
French and American officials give
the highest praise for valiant work
performed by the engineers in operat-
ing the railroads. 1t made possible
the long defense of Yerdun and the
American offensive on the Mouse and
in the Argonne. The best wishes for
the regiments homeward journey are
expressed by all. The men are eager
to reach home and get back their
places on the western railroads, it be-
ing understood that their positions
have been held open for them.
A later clipping tells of their arrival
at the port town and how they won all
the baseball and wrestling games
since arriving there. They want to
be demobilized at the municipal pier
at Chicago.

Mr. A. c. Kingsford,
Superintendent of Schools,

Dear Sir:
1t has long since occurred to me to
write you few lines to let you know
how l have been faring in the army. l
must say that there is no reason ex-
cept mere neglect for my not having
written before However, I ask you to
accept my apologies for my neglect.
My experience in the army has GER
tainly been one of great interest, in
Guiding both the intensive training in
the United States and France and ac-
tual warfare on the front. You prob
ably are quite we'll acquainted with
the nature Of our training in the states
so I need not tell you about it, but |
doubt if you know just what we were
doing while IN France, as it was more
or less secret during the war.
We embarked at Hoboken, N. j., on
January 20 and debarked at Brest,
France, February 10, after twenty-one
days on one of the toughest OF seas.
At .Brest we entrained, and for three.
days and four nights logged along in
little, dingy, third-elass coaches, arriv-
ing February 23d in the small city of
Champlittle in the Department of
Haute Saone.
Our company headquarters were To-
Gated here for about three weeks, at
the end of which time they were
moved TO shassigny, Haute Mane.
Here they. remained for two months
and then moved to Core, Haute- Saone,
which was the last place in the back
areas.
In the meantime the company had
been broken up into small details or
detachments which were constructing
temporary barracks, stables and bath
houses for the American army durin
