chance to spend money here. No candy

the boys." '
'Duty to one's country does not end on

thin in one's - power to . help win the
war.. says an order issued by General
Pershlna;. 4 copy of which has been
received by; the var; department. . -
"To write home frequently and reg
ularly,, to keep in constant touch with
family and friends. Is one of the soldier's
most . Important , duties. . Mothers . and
fathers will suffer- if they do not hear
often from sons dentin;, in Franc. In
the present large companies It is not
possible for -officers to write, letters for
their men, and every man should do It
for himself.

Corporal W. H. H. Keen Writes
;i "of -Visit to Manjr Historic Spots
jrt Interesting French Capital.
SAW EFFECTS OF BIG GUN
Among Prominent People Seen
S Were President Poincaire and
Mrs. T. Roosevelt Jr.
A trip to Pari, in which he meets Mrs.
Theodore Roosevelt Jr., Is told most in
terestingly by Corporal W. H. H. Keen,
who Is with the United States engineers
in France. In a letter written to his
mother, Mrs. D. A. Keen of 8129 Forty
fourth street Southeast. He was for
merly an O. A. C. student and has re
ceived his first gold stripe, the chevron,
for six months' service In France.
'"Last Saturday our organization left
here on the limited, bound for Parts. We
rode through beautiful country and
passed . over wonderful bridges and
through cities of great Interest along the
way, until we finally arrived at 'Gay
Paree. The officer to whom we were
to report' for duty had two big trucks 1
ready and they conveyed us to the ho- ,
tela nearby which are occupied by the
American troops while in Paris. Here
ws were given good steel cots and mat
tresses. The rooms were lighted (With
electricity and each one had a fireplace,
and, all together. It was almost too good
to be true In the way of solid comfort. !
,'. , Trip to Invalldes i
' "Paris Is dark at night on account of
the air raids, so, as there wasn't much
chance to see the city by night, I decid
ed to go to bed and get a good fresh
start for the rest of the stay. Real .
beds! Maybe you think I didn't sleep.
Got up Sunday morning at 7 :45. had
breakfast, then one of the men and I
took a trip down town to a place called
Invalid es. Rode In a horse taxi for
about an hour before we reached the
place. Here we found an assortment of
war trophies of great Interest cannon, j
airplanes, etc., all taken from the i
enemy.
. c "Here we viewed Napoleon's tomb j
some swell dome It Is. Eiffel tower, a i
masterpiece In steel construction, the !
highest structure of the kind In the
world 987 feet could be seen from
here. We got back to the hotel by auto
;taxl In quick time and took In a park.
"Our band was scheduled to play at
' the Allied Officers' club that afternoon, j
so we went there. Found the Garde j
Republican band, the finest In the world, j
to play against. We kept to American
music and they to the French. While
ur army band could not possibly be as
good, we drew our share of applause at
that. At any rate we had the distinction
f sitting alongside of one of the best
musical organisations In the world,
.aw President Poincaire
"There were many prominent French
and ' American people present The
French president was among the guests.
We had a nice luncheon served to us
and. after posing for the movies, separ-
ated to the T. M. C. A. headquarters
. for a feed and concert there that night.
(Tou may get my picture yet In some
f the movies. It will be In some of the
travet pictures.)
' "The Y. M. C. A. certainly had some
. dinner and. accordingly, we played 'some
concert.' for the Americans In Parlo We
felt. like playing and the audience hadn't
heard an American band with popular
home music for so long that they gave
- Us a wonderful hand. The trucks took
us back to the hotel after the concert
, and I went to bed1 with the feeling that
Sunday (Mothers' day, by the way) was
ell worth while for me. '
"The T. M. C. A. insisted that we re
turn for breakfast, so on Monday morn
ing we got up early and took the sub
way (Just like New York) and there
again we had a regular feed. Sightsee
ing csrs were waiting for us after we
gte and they took us around the city.
Many Famoas Plaees Seen
"We went from one side of the city to
Che other, saw the arch of triumph built
by Napoleon ; the greatest vcafe In the
i world, Eiffel tower, the Trocadero, a
. fin music hall, built during the exposi
tion ; the old mansion of Louis XIV, the
stop where the old guillotine was used
. ' for executions, which Is now marked
by the big obelisk from Kgypt. We saw
Notre Dame cathedral and the wonder
. ful bridge across the Seine river, called
v the Bridge of Alexandria. On the way
back we passed spots where the big,
. long range German gun, 'Bertha.' has
hit, including that church! she hit on
Qood Friday.
'. , "At noon we were back at the hotel
and went to a Red Cross depot, where
we played quite a concert before leav-
ing for home (home being this camp) at
t p. m. Here we had our pictures taken
, again with some Y. M. C. A. and Red
- Cross workers.
. "When we were taking the train one
' of the women asked a member of the
v band to send her one of the pictures
When they were finished. He called
back for her name and she said. "Mrs,
Theodore. Roosevelt Jr. !" What do you
I know about that? This finishes my
r travels in France to date." '
