ROCKS HER BABY TO SLEEP;
FIRE MAKES 1T LAST SLEEP

MOULTRIE, Jan. 8.-Mrs. Enoch
HERS, wife of Colquitt county far
mer, rocked her baby to sleep yes
terday afternoon, put it down on
bed and walked out into the yard to
look after some of her duties. A few
minutes later she saw smoke pouring
from the bedroom window and heard
flames cracking. She rushed back to
the house to rescue the baby. Upon
opening a door, Mrs. HERS was horri-
fed to see the room in which the
child had been left was burning from
one end to the other. She tried to
break through the flames, but her eff
forts were unavailing. The house
burned to the ground. Mrs. HERS is
said to be suffering from serious
burns.
Her husband was in Moultrie at
the time, coming here to attend
court. The family resides Is miles
east of this city People living in the
community went to the scene, but
they arrived too late, except to rem
der first aid treatment to Mrs. HERS.

out central and | saw Dutch edition
of Nick. Garter. Some things | guess
are international.
We have the idea at home that the
Dutch are pro-German in heart. The
truth is, | think, they hate Germany
but they fear them. think Germany
held such threatening hand over
Holland during the war that she was
forced to follow the iron hand How
ever, Holland does dislike the Bel
gians and says that they were very
unappreciative during the war.
The Hague is much prettier than
Rotterdam, with its wide streets,
parks and clean, neat looking houses.
The Peace Palace is very imposing
structure of red brick and white trim
mings, surrounded by beautiful
grounds but the symmetry is far from
perfect 1t is now used as the CAPT.
toll of Holland.
A Companions Impressions.
Mock and | caught the train for
Berlin at o'clock yesterday after
noon and paid 10 gelders for the
hours ride in Holland and gelders
for the ten-hour ride in Germany.
We had most interesting travelling
companion. He was a young Czecho-
Slovak who has spent his life travel
ing and speaks perfect English. We
cussed, discussed and argued Europe
and America for three hours. The
main impression he left with me was
the amazement, warm appreciation
and love of Central Europe towards
America for the wonderful relief
work we did and are doing. He de-
scribed most wildly how his own sis
ter was starving with her child and
was saved by American food and the
most wonderful part of it to- him was
that no one in America ever knew
his sister. He says the children will
never forget it. Another idea he adj
vanced was the necessity for America
to cancel war debts. Not only does
he think America will eventually be
the gamer but with the preseqt rates
of exchange tied up by war debts as
they are, Europe is starving to death
for American raw material, machin-
cry and trade.
was astonished by his story Of
how American manufacturers are
sending thousands of bales of cotton
to Czecho- Slovakia and other Central
European countries to be woven and
bleached and returned to American
markets and doing it cheaper than
it could be done at home There must
be a break in our system somewhere
We reached Berlin at o'clock, but
| won't start on the Germans now.
So most of this letter, written about
Holland, is written from Berlin to-
day the 10.

for sale in the streets of Rotterdam
and each one brought thoughts of
home and few of the hardships |

of my experiences in Germany.
Lots of love, your affectionate son,
