Arthur Mattley Celebrates Fourth in

Mrs. J. H. Mattley Is In receipt of
an Interesting letter from her son.
Arthur Mattley. who Is with the Unit
ed States Naval Forces, Europe. The
letter is dated July 4, and appears be
low:
Dear Mamma:
"I have a few minutes, so I will
start a letter. I go on duty at ' 1 o-clock.
"There is to be a celebration here
today for the Americans stationed
here. It will last all day I am told.
There will be a ball game this morn
ing between the American teams and
at noon a banquet for all Americans
in these parts.
"We do not leave until afternoon
for town, but are going to have quite
a feed aboard. .
I have been ashore several times
since I have been here. Cannot say
that I like it here very well, but guess
it will take some time to get used to
the people. There are amusement
places open and eating places. Most
.of the stores are open. The people
here are only allowed to buy so much
at a time. Food it quite high, but at
the Y. M. C. A. one can get a very
good ' meal very reasonable.
"We have been eating the first war
bread that we have gotten the last
few days, and it tastes good for a
change. I expect from now on that we
will not get as much sugar or wheat
bread as we have been getting, but
we have been getting as much as one
wanted to each meal."

I will complete this now, as I did
not have time yesterday. July 4th .was
certainly a quiet day. There was the
entertainments put on for the benefit
of the Americans here, but I did not
take In any of them. I took a skate
at the roller rink with a number of
the boys from the ship. This reminded
me of going to the Oaks.

Somewhere in France,
June 23, 1918
"Dear Mother:
"The last letter from yon came
June 7, this being dated May lj. This
is the last mail I have received, ex
cept one from Al and a paper from
Mrs. M., so I am looking for more
soon.
''I have been away again, but this
time not to the front, but to a seapor
town again. Not the same one 1 was
in before but entirely a different di
rection. It was a great trtp, and a
passed through some beautiful coun
try, and the best I have seen since ar
riving in France. There were large
fields, farm houses and much mor.'
prosperous villages. The wheat fields
made me long for Eastern Washing
ton once more. The wheat here ha?
headed out and is in blossom, as I
Imagine it would be there too this
time of the year. We also passed
through the most wonderful city of
France, stopping there for two nights,
and surely had a fine time. It is the
largest city I was even in. I rode on
the subway for the first time in my
life but let me tell you about the
meal we had there at the Y. M. C. A.
We had veal loaf, peas, rice, rice cust
ard, strawberries, chocolate cake and
Ice cream. The first Ice cream I have
had since being in France. You can
imagine how good it tasted, and a real
Bohemian girl waited on the table.
Such luck as this does not happen
to us often.
"The Hung pulled off an air raid
the night I was in that city, but did
not do much damage. We stayed out
in ths street until the French police
man chased us down In the subway,
but 'safety first' is the best, I guess.
"Of course the time we had there
was much too short for us but we
surely took advantage of it, and what
else we could while coming back, so
at present my 'shekels' are very low,
We git plenty to ef' and are well
clothed, so we boys can go without
money, if we don't have It at timf-s.
"Al is much more settled and sat
isfied now. He writes me that he has
passed ' another examination for the
flying school, which is fine.
"I have not heard from Rev. Mil
liken yet, but want you to tell him
hello for me, I know that he is help
ing us out with his cheerful smile.

PARIS, Aug. 7. French homes may

the British dominions and the French
colonies under plans which are now

"Franco-allied clubs" will be formed
so the people unable to open their
own homes may meet the allied sol
diers on a social footing.
Premier Clemenceau has given Ids
