Le-Man's
March 23rd, 1919.

Dear Mother:
We have moved at last to the adj
vanced area of Le-Man's, about six
kilometres out of the city. We left
our old camp Thursday night at
eleven O'Clock and arrived here
about ten O'Clock Saturday night.
We are sleeping in building that
is large enough to hold about ESQ
men, and have hunks that hold
four; two above and two below.
On our way we came through Bar
sur-Aube, Lusigny, St. Florentin
Surgy, Clancy, Blois, Touro, and
several other smaller places. We
do not expect to be here but very
short time and then we will move to
sea port.
We made the trip in box cars
thirty-six men in each car-and had
all kinds of hay and straw to sleep
on. When we laid down it just ill.
ed the car up, everybody laped tncir
feet over each other so that kept us
good and warIG. 1t rained mos: all
of the way and has started in again
today, but Will not be troubled with
the mud as this part is sandy some
thing like Hancock, but not as bad.
Have. all kinds of games here, foot
ball, base ball., basket ball and Soc
Ger. Several Y. M. C. A. moving
pictures and shows.
Do not write any more after you
receive this, as we are scheduled to
sail about the middle of May but
they have been sending them about
two weeks ahead of time, so we may
get started by the last of April.
The mail has just came in and l
received letter and paper dated
Feb gath; also received a letter
from Aunt Edith.
Tell the kids I have the slippers
and one pair wooden shoes, and will
try and get two more pair.
Well, will close hoping this finds
everybody well, as it leaves me the
same. With love to all,

Home Again.

Home again-not as crippled de-
pendents, but as self-supporting,
confident men. What does the loss
of a single arm or leg mean to one
who is preparing to WELD the gavel
in the court room, or expound the
theory Of parallel lines meeting at
infinity? ~.
The Federal Board for Vocational
Education states that of 1877 dis
abled veterans being retrained free
of charge by the government con-
siderable number are in the profess
sions. Two men have taken up
theology; 81 are studying engineer
ing; 81 are taking mechanical draw
ing; men are qualifying as doctors.
Others are studying architecture,
chemistry, foreign trade, law, music,
salesmanship. Elementary acad-
emic courses are being taken by %
illiterates.
To the time of the armistice TO-
600 men were returned from over
seas. These represent cases which
were so badly disabled they could
not be used even for non-combat or
behind the lines service. Eighty
five and FIVE tenths per cent of other
wounded men, however, were re-
turned to duty, either at the front
or behind the lines, within maxi
mum period of ten weeks. Five pei
cent were returned to duty back Of
the front and only ten per cent
could. not be used either at the front
or behind the lines. Mortality in
the American forces was exception
ally low.
February Is the Federal Board
for Vocational Education was in
touch with 22,851 disabled soldiers.
There are still thousands of badly
wounded men who must be refrain
ed by the government in order to
fit them for useful, happy lives.
Help give them a chance. The gov
eminent needs the. loan of your
money. Subscribe to the Victory
Liberty Loan.

Children Should Go To school.

The Board of Education had is
sued last week warrants for ten
parents of the Chesapeake City
Schools and three parents of the
Bohemia Manor Colored School, fol
violation of the Compulsory Attend
ance Law. The parents were tried
before Squire L. NJ Bean on Thurs
day. They were found guilty, but
upon their promise TO strictly COM
ply with the Law in the future, SEN
tence was suspended.
Action has been taken against
about forty parents up to the pres
ent time at Ferryville, North East,
Elkton, Chesapeake City and .Bo-
hernia Manor. Hundreds of letters
have been sent out this year to par
ents, requesting them to comply
with the provisions of the Law. 1t
is not the intention of the Board OF
Education to subject the parents to
any unnecessary expense or trouble
The Board, however, is charged with
the enforcement of the Compulsory
Attendance Law, and feels that It
should do its duty. The Law was
passed in 1915. In 1917 and 1918
no legal action was taken against
any parents as it was thought that
it was only just to conduct an eiu-
cational campaign to thoroughly ac-
quaint the parents with the Law
The Great v ar also MADE labor very
scarce, so that no one was prosecu-
ted during the progress of war.
This year it was decided to strictly
enforce the Law. The epidemic OF
the Spanish Influenza required the
Board to close the schools for II
days, and even after the schools
were re-opened, the epidemic still
continued in many sections of the
County. The Board felt that it
would be very unwise to attempt to
force the children into school with
this epidemic in progress. Conse-
Quently, it has only been within the
last month that conditions seemed
to justify the enforcement of the
Law In order to save expense to
the County no special Attendance
Officer has been appointed this year.
The work being assigned to Super
intendent Caldwell and his Assist
ants.

points to farmers via the Bureau OF
Markets. Department of Agriculture.
In view of the number of orders for
early shipment being received the
nitrate distributors say that spring
must be on the way. Farmers who
did not want to accept deliveries in
February now want immediate ship
ments, and the Bureau of Markets is
trying to ship 100000 tons this
month.
Orders have already been issued
from Washington for the shipment
Of over $4,000 tons in small lots,
and Savannah and Wilmington re-
port daily shipments of over 1000

for the full amount was made, but
it was pointed out that applicants
should appreciate the impossibility
OF filling all orders simultaneously,
though every effort is being made to
have the nitrate reach all applicants
in time for use this season.

pied most of today's debate and reiter ated arguments that the resolution is destructive of state rights and popular rule.
 Half Century Fight Ended
 Since the resolution was drafted by Susan B. Anthony, the woman suffrage pioneer, virtually a continuous fight has been waged for its submission by congress to the states. Among the spectacular features of the campaign was. the picketing and other demon strations of the so-called militant suf- fragettes, of whom between 400 and 500 have been arrested and 164 given jail sentences ranging from three days to seven months. President Wilson, on last September 30, addressed the senate and urged adoption of the reso- lution as a war measure and reiterated his request for congressional approval in his message to the present con- gross.
 Senate adoption of the resolution to- day followed four rejections. It was defeated in 1887 when it secured only 14 affirmative and 34 negative votes In 1914 the senate voted it down by II votes. Again in September. 1918, 1t was rejected by two votes. and again last February by one vote. The house voted upon the resolution three times, rejecting it in 1915 by 7S votes, pass ing it in 1918 by a margin of one and again two weeks ago with IA votes to spare.

 Ta1t of Amendment


 Text of Amendment
 The amendment as it will be added to the constitution if ratified by the states reads:
 Article -, Section 1.-The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on ac- count of sex.
 Section 2.-Congress shall have power. by appropriate Legislation to enforce the provisions of this article" "
 All efforts to amend the resolution in the senate failed. By vote of 55 to 2S the senate rejected the amend ment of Senator Underwood. Democrat of Alabama, proposing submission of the proposed article to popular state conventions instead of state legisla- lures. An amendment by Senator Gay, Democrat of Louisiana, proposing en- forcement by the states instead of the federal government was voted down 62 to 19. The senate also re- jected without a roll call, revision of Senator Underwood's amendment, pro posed by Senator Phelan. Democrat of California, to fix methods of calling popular ratification conventions.
 Claims South Will Defeat
 Although few state legislatures now are in session, woman suffrage cham pions tonight claimed that ratification soon would be secured, probably by next spring. In todays debate, how ever, Senator Gay predicted that with the southern states opposing the mea- sure because of entailed enfrsnchise- ment of negro women, the required 36 states would refuse to ratify and cause It's rejection.

NATIONWIDE LABOR CRISIS
TEXTILE TRADES WILL STRIKE
FOR EIGHT-HOUR DAY.
Silk, Cotton and Wooden Goods Work
ers Threaten to Cease Work
on Feb. 8.

New York, Jan. ga nationwide
labor crisis, involving industries en-
gagged in manufacturing silk and cot
ton goods and, to some extent, wooden
goods, is pending, unless employers in
these trades concede the eight-hour
day by Feb. 3, it was learned here.
Information that employees planned
to work no longer than eight hours
on that date and on each day there
after was conveyed to the reconstruc-
ton committee, recently appointed by
Governor Alfred e. Smith to endeavor
to adjust labor disturbances conse-
quent upon the close Of the war. This
information came from John Golden,
president of the United States Textile
Workers of America
The Textile Workers, at their con-
vention here last November, demanded
a 48-hour week. The employers have
not granted this reduction from the
present schedule of "a hours, Mr.. Col
den said, nor have they made any ad-
vances toward a compromise.
In New York alone 100000 employees
are involved, it is estimated, the ma
jority of these in cities along the Mo-
hawk valley.

ENJOYS MAY FINISH
LABORS IN MARCH
PEACE CONFERENCE is EXPECT.
ED TO MAKE RAPID PROGRESS
FROM NOW ON.
VIEWS OF FRENCH DIPLOMAT
German Delegates May Be Summoned
to Paris Early in April for the
Conclusion of Present
Negotiations.

Paris, Jan. 28-When the supreme
council of the peace conference met
there was a full attendance of the
members.
A number of technical advisers on
colonial matters, including three
Americans, accompanied the various
delegations as they entered the for
eign Office for the session.
Question of Colonies.
One of the questions which it was
expected the supreme council would
take up was the fate of the German
colonies. France and Great Britain,
it is declared, are agreed on at least
one feature of the solution of the
problem which is that under no con-
sideration shall the colonies revert to
Germany. The reasons advanced for
such decision are various, but prom
inent among them is that it would
render it impossible for Germany to
establish submarine bases in her
colonial possessions. The American
attitude is as yet unrevealed.
A prominent official declared today
that should the Franco-British view
point prevail, the German Kamerun
will be taken over by the French, in
accordance with an agreement reached
by Great Britain and France. Belgium
lays claim to that part of the Congo
which she conquered by force of arms,
the Belgian troops having captured
Tabora and the territory lying beyond
the western slopes of Lake Victoria
Nyanza. The Belgians also desire a
strip of territory along the left bank
of the Congo, the delimitation, of
course, to be settled amicably with
Portugal, territorial compensation be-
ing given the latter.
Terms May be Ready in March.
The Council of Ten, as the French
now call the ministers Of the five
great powers, has before it for consid-
Grafton among other things the ques-
tions of territorial adjustments, the
abolition of CONSUMPTION and the eco
'nomic reconstruction of Germany.
These questions, in accordance with
the settled method of procedure, will
be referred by the council to suitable
commissions.
There appears every prospect that
the peace conference will make rapid
progress from now on with the work
of fixing the peace terms for Ger
many A high French diplomatic au-
thority is quoted as estimating that
the conference will have the peace
terms ready for submission for ratifi-
cation by the various national govern
ments between the middle and the
end of March. If this is accomplished,
the German delegates will be sum-
moned to Paris early in April for the
conclusion of the peace.
