Is one thing that they are not afraid

double what they do their own people.
They have an idea that we Americans

Metz is some town. Ii alone would
be worth fighting over. Its station
was OF brown stone and reminded one
of those at home. The houses are OF
the German type or architecture, and
we no longer see the red tiled roof
so common in France. Ii had numer-
Gus churches and an up-to-date street
car line
On entering Germany we passed
many hills lined with vineyards. The
little villages along the route had
Americans occupying them. On the
top of some OF the hills you could see
castles and ruins. We crossed the
Mosalle and entered Cobenz. Ii, too,
is quite a town, 1t seems to be quite
clean with the common type OF Ger
man houses. Street cars run through
the town. The cleanliness OF the Ger
man towns is in marked contrast to
those OF our French allies. We cross
cd the Rhine over bridge with
turrets like castle. The Rhine is
certainly beautiful river. At the
junction OF the Mosele and the Rhine
is beautiful equestrian statue.
We passed the huge fortress OF En-
enbrustein and disembarked from the
train at NeuYied. We then trans

Dear Home Folks
found your letter awaiting me
when | returned from Paris this af-
ternoon The past week has been a
busy one and have been on the run
good share of the time. In previous
letters l have told in general where j
am and what I'm doing. However,
mail isn't to be relied upon always, so.
consequently some OF my letters no
doubt have gone astray.
Since coming TO France / have been
detailed TO special duty with the
Plane News, the official paper OF the
Air Service. In the capacity OF cor
toonist and news correspondent,
have mad an enviable opportunity to
see many of the interesting places.
While at Paris II was my pleasure to
visit the Grand Opera House In the
Place de L'Opera In the heart OF
Paris. II is a sumptuous edifice, cost
ing more than sS000,000. Here the
elite OF Partisan society promenade.
Words cannot describe the wonderful
architecture or the lavish decorations
OF this theater.
France is noted for its fine public
buildings and no more excellent ex-
amples OF architecture are extant
than those OF French cathedrals and
chdteaux, erected during the 18th and
18th centuries, when each succeeding
ruler was trying TO surpass the work
Natural History and the art galleries
of Louvre possess the largest collec-
tions in the world.
Besides being in and about Paris
haye been TO Nice and several places
along the front. Ii must have been
HI up there during the war, and
there is big job ahead for somebody
when they start rebuilding.

them as coming from overseas.

In the various police stations. 1t Is
not in accord with the statement
credited Chief of Detectives Mooney
to the effect that prohibition had re-
duced crime so per cent.
The cause OF these contradictory
statements is not now apparent. But
If it is true that crime has not been
reduced in Chicago with the advent
of partial prohibition that city Is the
striking exception to the rule.
New York city reports decrease
in crime Of 6 per cent. These figures
are based on official police records and
offset Chicago's experience. Phila-

(Ky.). Kansas City. st. Louis. Mime

smaller cities have had an experience
that tallies with tho summary given
above.

length OF time to prove the real value
Of prohibition, but the experience OF
