FROM SUPT.
MEADoR'S BROTHER

Sgt Walter A. Meador, brother of
County Supt. j. Raleigh Meador,
writes from France, don't know ex-
actly where" so he states, never-the-
less he has had a wonderful expcr-
fence in this war and says. 81 would
not have missed it for the world"
Sgt Meador goes on to say 10 the
following letter to his brother:
Company NJ end Training Regi-
ment Nov S2nd 1918. Dear Raleigh:
We have been some where in France
for two months, don't know exactly
where myself and it would not make
great deal of difference if | did. We
landed at port in England on the
21st, of September We marched
through the streets of the city and the
people were most enthusiastic in their
welcome. The people lined the streets,
cheering and waving American and
British flags. The children would run
laong holding our hands; in fact the
British surprised me, as | had expect
ed they would be rather reserved
We had a nice trip through England,
The coaches in Europe are not like
ours in any respect. They are divided
into Compartments just large enough
to accommodate eight persons. The
vestibule can be entered from either
side of the coach by a large door
which is always closed when the
train is in motion. II you wish to
speak to someone in another com
partment you can do so by holding
to the side Of the car and walking up

fm board which extends the full
length Of the train.
We crossed the English Channel
and arrived at certain famous
French port and marched through,
the town to a rest camp. Here we saw
officers and soldiers of all nations.
Just in this one French town il
seemed that nine out of ten women
were in mourning Here began to
realize what a terrible thing this war
has been for poor France. No one
smiled in this town, except the child
rem, who. followed us asking for Am
erican pennies.
After leaving the town we travelled
back into the garden spots of France.
My Lieutenant told me that ! would
like France better than England, but
so far | do not, as things are not so
clean here. The streets in the poorer
section are very dirty, although We
passed some beautiful places.
We are now in small village and
are billeted all over il here and there,
my quarters being very near big
wine shop--all very handy
This Is nothing as half OF the places
in town sell wine and the men car
get all they want but no cognac or
other hand liquors"
The farms here are very queer, be-
wide and separated by banked earth,
ing cut into tiny stubs about 100 feet
hedges, or stone walls. The roads are
wonderful, but of course there is very
little traffic at present, no private
cars at all, only government and Y.
M. c. A.
This has been a great experience,
and | would not have missed it for
the world. If had stayed at home |
would never be able to hold my head
up again. This war was much bigger,
more important and more serious
than the American people have yet
realized.
/ received a letter today stating
that Byron was killed in action. This
does not surprise me as his organ
ization had some hard contests. Love

The civil war struck the note of
our nations greatest peril. Disunlon
meant abandonment of the principles
upon which the country was founded.
meant constant strife and eventual
6isintegration. At the country's cali
our clear-eyed young men marched
out, ready to sacrifice life and limb.
II need be, for the unity of the nation.
Their courage saved 1t for future gem
e-ations.
1t was wise for our fathers to set
a day for commemoration of the SER
vices of these citizen soldiers. Most
OF them now lie beneath grassy
mounds in the cemeteries throughout
the land, but when Decoration Day
comes We pay tribute to their self
sacrifice.
Those who lost their lives In the
civil war. had the vision of united
country. If they could have seen,
her growth in power and resources
and splendor. they would have said.
1T was worth the price"
We have ourselves just passed
through such another crisis We
have seen the young men of our days
also rising at the call OF their country.
Their eyes beheld the vision and
the dream" but 1t was the yision of
a free world, delivered from the wick

When we lay flowers upon the
graves of the older heroes. we shall
have in mind~the Thousands OF white
crosses which mark American graves
on the fields Of France. And with
our gratitude to them will come the
hope that the world will be so much
better through their sacrifice that In

IT was worth the price"
