1t all started 800 years ago, wher
for religious reasons my people were
driven out Of France, and after years
OF wandering were given tract oil
land by the king of Denmark, which
then. as now, was called All Sinners
Town.

to put my carcass between Germany
and beloved France. Then, just be-

my duty to go.i E
The nerve OF the boy! Too old to bs

the children was not a duty. but 9
perjury and registered in the second
draft. 1t didn't matter, for then the

MY DEAR c.
If were you.
WOULDN'T worry about it.
I'D JUST pray.
AND ADMIT I lied,
AND ASK forgiveness.
AND IN al! probability,
THE LORD will say:
HERE'S 4 man.

ITO EvApE the draft.
AND HE must be all right.

THAT HE had some tickets,

 left the building, it was blown up by a bomb, and a great fire started which practically wiped out the southern end of the city. When we had any chance to talk, after battling our way down to the boat landing we began questioning the girl. being curious at her perfect English language I found out that she is an ex-resident of Jane street. Bridgeport, and educated in the Staples school.
 "Her father, during 1917, was a Russian inspector at the Remington Arms but late in the year. was re- called to his regiment, he being a Russian ReseFvist.
 The girl followed him to Russia and has since evacuated al least four towns captured by the Bolsheviks She is now on her way to Constanti- nople on an American destroyer where she will rejoin her father and both will proceed to the States, at the earliest possible opportunity.
 "(Private) It is less than three months ago since I shipped over and I don't want any more eXcitemen than I have had since then. I shipped q over on the 18th Of August, and have been on the go ever since. As I write this, the Bolsheviks are less than ten miles from the city, and will occupy the town in the moen- ing. We have already sent hurry call to the U. s. S. St. Louis and we expect she will be here about noon

 HOUSING PROJECT

T .NGLAND, CONFRONTED with A a gigantic shortage of dwell- inss for her people is proposing to build half million of them at million a year during a period of sixty years. Lawrence Veiller, secretary of the National Housing Association, has suggested to the conference recently in progress at the Strafield hotel, that the project is basically unsound
 If the discussion were to be con- ducted from the standpoint of com petitfve business, if it were a private project, if the object were to make money, MT. Veiller's position might well be taken.
 But since the object is social, since it is organized to prevent distress, to allay social agitation, and to pre- vent the established government from being overwhelmed by dissatisfaction of the people, t may be, in the very highest sense, sound project.
 Indeed, it may be .n the strict sense, a sound progress.
 It is said that there Is a great deal of unemployment in Great Britain. that the wheels of industry have stopped, that the labor power of that island is being wasted.
 If the housing project sets the wheels moving, if it employs labor that would not otherwise be employ od I,n
 The thing that is done will not be a waste. It will be a permanent improvement or the highest order. in that a benefit will be conferred of a very high type, upon very large number of people, say 2,500,0OO. More over, the thing will follow this law that works performed by labor power which would otherwise be idle are if they are useful, works of salvage
 The English housing project ap- pears to be a tremendous economy The Times cannot too often say for the benefit of those who are leaders of the industry of America that the fact of idleness and starvation in the midst of abundance is abhorrent to the intellect.
