CAMP AND FIELD

Abner Dngle writes from France
lime 12:-On a fourteen day FUR
Tough, I started from Pruniers Sun
day morning May rs, for Paris
beautiful scenery along the way
fields wen kept and many women
working In them.
Arrived In Paris p. m. After To-
eating with three other boys from
here, took a trip to Versailles, Visit-
ing the Palace and gardens; the iat'
ter are surely fine. The Palace was
completed 1887, but parts were pun
as early as 1924. The Statues IL
the court represent ministers ahu
statesmen of France. Also saw tht
building In which the German dele
gates were housed.
Upon entering the Palace the I'm
nression of the magnificence and
elaborateness is very positive. The
tapestry, the sculpture and the table
with 14O different kinds Of marble
inlaid top. These 40 represent the
materials used in different rooms Cd
the building. The Hall of Battles
has 40 or so large paintings repre-
senting critical periods In different
wars of France. She has surely
spent much time fighting.
Next morning I took ride on the
Ferris wheel and had a birds eye
view of France. Then to Chateau
Thierry, here an auto trip to Bezu
(the base Of the big gun that BON
barded Paris), Belleau woods and
Hill 2O4 were places Of sure fighting
by the Americans. The surrounding
country was considerably torn up
but is being repaired by German
prisoners. 1t is a quiet farming
country and the first place in France
where saw three horses worked
abreast.
Next to Rheims and here saw
much orchard and vineyard cultiva-
ton. In this section is the cham
pagne center of France and looks

Arrived at Rheims 1890, went

shot ND town, not building in the
town perhaps escaped scar and
MANY cease to be buildings In the
afternoon we walked out to the bat
tlefield trenches, barbed wire en-
tanglements and dugouts, then "a
hours more at Paris. Visited the
Latin quarters (the educational and
arts center Of Paris). In the after
noon a boat ride on the Seine. The
points we noted in Paris were the
church Of st. Sulpice through which
center runs the Meridian Of Paris.
The Pantheon built in 1890, cost
10000, 900 francs. The door weighs
1S tons. We visited the Sorbonne
University sometimes called the uni
versity of Paris. The auditorium
with seating capacity of $4,000 and
exceptional acoustics. Left for
LYON and arrived s O'clock the next
morning. Visited Cathedrals and
parks and a classy French show.

E. p. Wilson, who has spent ten
months In France told some inter-

by the French against the Ameri-
cans shown him by claim agent.
One was for three francs go cents) 8.
The Frenchman was crossing a
bridge when an American automo-
bile whizzed past him and his hat
was blown off and went in the river
hence three francs. A woman
wanted $50 francs because an
American motor car had killed "a
hen. She figured that the hen ate
enough bugs in her garden every
year to make 1t worth $50. A
farmer asked 1919 francs because a
motor truck train went by and
raised a great dust which got in the
eyes OF his cattle, causing worry
and loss. The owner of chateau
which was protected by American
guns from destruction put in a bill
for damage to the gate posts and to
the sod by the cannon carriages
when the guns were planted on the
lawn. They just don't miss any
thing.
