THE LETTERS OF PATRIOTIC POLLY, A WAR WORKER

If I had you near enough now you
would get such hug that you could
not breathe for q week. I tried not
to expect anything after that fat
check you sent last month and the
scolding you received. But 1 would
have felt that Sanity could not get
as far from home as Washington
If there had not been something from
you.
Mrs. Motherheart had the family
dinner at noon, since they were in
vited out in the evening. and she
asked as our guests, Thomas and
Jack. Those two boys treat her as
If she were their mother, just as they
seem to consider us sisters-although
in our case you would expect some
very definite attitude to develop after
four years association at the uni
versity. would you not? They are the
house favorites of all who have come
here, because they seem to appre-
ciate home comforts. after camp ex-
periences, more than the older men do.
Our second tree was in the after
noon at the old boarding house. Four
of our friends are still there, which
Is doing well; boarding houses here
usually change their whole personnel
within three months time. The girls
wanted US to see their tree and so
they put their gifts for us on it. We
added ours. 1t was simply trimmed.
but it was pretty. and it brought q
touch of Christmas cheer to more
than, one lonely heart. AS you can
easily imagine, 1t was small per-
centage Of the war workers who had
both money and time to go home for
the holidays.
While we were there the most ex-
citing thing happened, Dad. All Of
the girls of the house had come down
and we were sitting on the floor, be-
cause there was net room for both
cream and talking when we heard the
doorbell ring. No one noticed it gar
ticularlY The maid went to the door
and. the first thing we knew, a tail
Erinning sailor stood in the doorway
watching as. One Of the girls looked
up. screamed, threw her ice cream in
someone's lap, and-more quickly
than 1t has taken yon to read this
was wrapped Up in the sailors arms.
We sat there H., q row OF china dolls
and gasped. SAe partly extricated
herself and waved her h.nd at us and
said: Girls. this is Billyr' Billy
grinned again and seated himself be-
side her on the floor while some more
ice cream was brought in. We re-
sumed our chatting as II Billy was a
long-lost friend. but not one Of us
had the remotest idea who he could
be- Not until later, when, he bore

away when he was sixteen and. joined
the Navy. He had Just come in on an
unexpected shore leave. at
Wasn't that a grand surprise? And
yet the city is full Of such. can
think Of nothing that Washington re-
sembles more than an enormous ant
hill, with its hordes pouring in and
out. think it would be a nice thing
to establish in the station a find
your friends bureau" 1 would do it
this way: would list the name of
everybody in the city, classify them,
you know. according to town. college,
lodge, frat, etc. AS each stranger
came in would try to add his name
and, II he was interested, help him To-
cate some one in the city that he
knew. 1t seems now that every one
who leaves home gets in Washington
some during his absence, and. you
know. 1t would create lots of happi-
ness to find friends in the city that
one had not expected to see.
1 was about to forget to tell you of
Uncle Sans Christmas gift to his en-
ployes. On the 23d every one was paid
-$16 out of their next check. con-
slider it very considerable of the Treas
ury. We had an extra half-holiday,
too, yesterday, but I took that as a
matter of course. although I really
appreciated the check. ] also heard
that we are truly going to get a raise
in January. Perhaps by this time next
month I shall be making $1,000 per
annum. VIII you feel any prouder Of
me after am raised? Well, you need
not. 1t will be no more to my credit
to get it than it was against my
credit to not get one before. And 1
do not feel a bit sighted because 1
did not get that automatic raise that
comes every three months-none of
the girls in our unit received 1t.
Well. Daddy. 1 did not write q letter
to Santa Claus this year, but felt
inclined to eend one to the weather
man. We were all hoping for a white
Christmas, but no one hoped harder
than I. do think that Jack Frost
has been inexcuseably bashful. Every
southern and southwestern girl up
here wanted to meet him In his Wild
est mood, and he has hardly ventured
out. I have not lost heart entirely !;
January may be roaring lion.
We did feel grateful for sunshiny
days Sunday. however. For at last,
after all my devotion to 1t, I accom-.
plished the feat of climbing the Ave

FRENCH WILL SOON
i 1H0LD' ''lIil''E An ELECTION :i.iEfIlO

Lyons, France, Oct. 16,-The cleo
tion of successor to President Pon-
care is now only four months distant
yet parliamentary elections to choose
members of the senate and chamber
of deputies must first be held as
these in joint session at Versailles in
January must elect the tenth presi-
dent of the republic.
Results OF the coming election are
regarded as more obscure than any
since the fall OF the empire. This
is all the more true because of the
death OF one-half million voters in
the war. the coming of age of an
equal number of new voters and the
anticipated notifications of party
lines by new issues resulting from
the war and reconstruction.
Six hundred deputies and 500 SEN
ators are to be chosen. No aspirant
for any of these seats has yet official
ly declared his candidacy. There
will be no primaries or local conven-
ton as in America but the candidates
viii be selected by party committees
with various combinations of differ
ent parties whose principles are not
too widely separated.
The socialists are resolved not TO
combine with any other party but
the radicals have decided to form
union tickets in some districts with
other purely republican organiza-
tions.
The wide difference between presi-
Dental elections in France and the
United States is illustrated in the
fact that here the president is chosen
by parliament while in America the
chief executive is elected by the vote
of the people for electors.

GERMAN NOBILITY
STRIPPED OF WEALTH

Cassel. Germany, Sept 90, ~(cor-
respondence of the Associated Press)
Two Germans, formerly OF the no.
bility, who have been deprived by
the new regime OF the greater part
OF their estates. have been Obliged
to sue the new governments for res
toration or reimbursement. They ARE
the Prince OF waldeck and Pyrmont
and the Duke OF Coburg-Gotha.
: The former princlpality OF Wal
deck and Pyrmont is now governed
by the Diet In Arolsen where the
Prince owned before the revolution
two castles and a vast domain OF
forest. After valnly offering to buy
these from him, the Diet contlscated
all the Princes property promising
to pay him what the courts should
determine to be a fair price.
BY one stroke OF the pen the conf
missioners who now rule the new
free state OF Gotha. conflscated the
property OF the Duke OF Co0urg-
Gotha estimated to be worth 65,o00,-
900 marks and this without offer OF
remuneration. The commissioners
who were Spartacists took forcible
possession of the ducal buildings, es-
tates and bank accounts and, in %
hours. the Duke was stripped of
everything he owned.
