Paris has the latest rising hnu,. of any city and up until ten or eleven the boule vards look deserted. Tn thy evening we went to the theatre, Lut the lar? pft part of the aeti wore in French, ho we did'nt enjoy that very well. Palis has the-finest opera of any city in the wcrUt, but there f ti'.t'ung on tli 2 veek we were there. The best show in Paris is the Follies Pergerc und tickets can be had quite reason able. There is one thing an Ameri-j can has to watch in ,th!s country and that is about over charging lor these, people are getting onto that little game arid' every now and then they ' try it on some one they pick as 'easy' I- The second day, Saturday, we walk j ed across to the r-Psite side of the Seine and took in the sights over ' there. The Seine luns th'ougfi. the i heaH of the city and is a pretty lit- tie stream. Some nf the finest Hid ings in Paris are on either hnftk of I the river. The bridges are built for beauty and as the liver is not navi ' gable they are built close to the wa ter and on street level. In the morn ing wo visitfld the Invalids where i Napoleons tfimb is located and spent a few hours looking- througn ane ... t;r.iv museum. There is quite an exmoit of war material of all soits, which is interesting. The museum proper v:as closed the (ley we wore there, but I cared little to see it for all that stuff is too ancient. That afternoon we visited the Pan- atheon del'Querre, where that famous painting of the war is located, lo ftee this painting alone is well worth the trip to Paris and it is a great piece of work. The building is cir cular in shape and was built for this picture. The painting of the picture took nineteen artists four years to complete and all that remains to be done now is to put on the date on which' Peace is signed. The painting is in the form of a circle and is to represent France and her Allies in front with a view of the entire front from Belgium to the Swiss border in the rear.

The Red Cross have ar eating place at every depot in Paris and wc had a cup of coffee, a howl of oatmeal, five centimes, or les than fifteen cents, When we left the depot for up town we hnd our first initiation with the subways of Taris.

The St. Sulpice, St. Pierre and Made line are also fine churches, but when you stop to think of the cost of these Cathedrals ti looks like foolishness to spend so much in a building. The Catholic church is practically the on ly religion or church in France and their whole religion seems to center on having a fine Cathedral. Th fit-st. dav we did'nt walk around much and spent the biggest part of 1 Ti.ni:i the day on the bouievarns f..h!no- the crowd. The Italiens WHifviio'D m n 1 A3 try are shown also( our ucneivus, Aa irtirjiitf and all branche? c wit ser vice. The whole thing is true to life and looks more like real than a paint ing. We also saw Eff el Tower, the Ferris Wheel and the Trocadero. Go ing back we went through the Latin quarters and past he St. Germain. Sunday we slept late and after a good feed we again set Out across the Seine past Notre Dame and to the Pantheon and back by the Palais de Senate and through the Luxembourg. The Luxembourg is a small park or what they call n Paris, a garden.On n, ,!,. hn.if to the hotel we went the Louvre and by the time we through fl watt supper time-. Monday we had planned visit RbeiniH but it rained so bad thau we oecikd to wait until Tuesday. We spent a few hours roaming around, but was too rainy for much sighr seeing. Tuesday we -spent in Rhelms and in seeing the trenches. Rheims is completely ruined r-nj hardly a bftild- . r 1 i je ing remains uprght. 1 ooujjt 11 there is one sim (. building in th ciy which wa not struck dui:n;? the bonardrej'irrts. Before "the war Rheims had a population or i:.w people and was one of the rnos- beau tiful cities in Pans while today it is just a mess of ru:ns. Withm tne past three weeks the people have been allowed to return and an M. r. in Dii.in,. trd-l ,.-. t.hpre were an ;d ibni.11110 j -. - - 15,000 people there now. The "fine Cathedral is riiincd beyond repair and it looks lonely standi; i up among thl ruins. We were inside the Cathedral and it makes one feel bad to see such damage. We hiked out to the "Old Hindenburg line which is about five kilometers from Rheims. The trench es start on the outskirts of the city, but the first line trenches, are about three kilometers out. The French and Germans faced each other for four years' here and the whole coun try shows it too. In places the trench es are barely a hundred yards apart and there is barbed wire enough in the entanglements to put a fence around the sun, the moon and the onrtb and then have enough for Mars and a few more to practice with lefy .... . a -m r vor T saw what it "called no mans Tond" nnd around Rheims they fought so long on the same ground that the ground is one mass off shell craters. Wo mVked un a few little souveniers and then hit back for Rheims as the lpft for Paris at four forty. Wpdnpsdav we took in the Y. M. C. A. trip to Versailles and I consider ed this the best part of the whole trip The "Y" has a special train from Paris down and back and the whole trin is free. Here is where the treaty is to be signed and they are getting ready out there now for the "Big Day." The palace and grounds- is of ton railed the playground of Kings. We had hardly time enough to see a tenth of the palace and only a small part of the grounds, but we took in the best parts. The palace and the grounds were started by Louis XIII but it was Louis XIV who built the greater part and Louis XV finished the job. They cost between seventy five and a hundred million dollars to build. We saw' the table on which the Peace Treaty is to be signed and went through the room where the de legates will meet to sign it. This room is one of the largest and finest ' in fii Pnlnrp and is called the 'Room of one wing except for a small room at each end, one of which is called tho "Room of War" and the other the "Room of Peace." Well I will tell you more of the trip later as you no doubt are tiring of reading such a long epistle. Have not heard from Dad for sev eral weeks now but he often runs that way he is not much for letter writ ing. Percv will be in Brest either to. day or Monday and he will be over to visit if possible. Willard has not not written in a long time and I don't know whether he has left Boston or not. His ship was about to go into commission the last time he wrote so he may have gone on a trip. The reports are going around that we will be leaving Brest in either May or June and in that case we will pro bably be back in the States before the Fourth. I hear that the next issue of our paper is to have an article from the captain, about gong home 'and we will hear tonight if that report is true. -s The Leviathan left Brest yesterday at noon alone- with the Cunard liner, Aquatonia, The George Washington is due in Brest today to carry Wilson back to the States. Whether that is to mean P-E-A-C-E or not seems to be a puzzel. Well I must close and bid farewell for this time and go to bed. Tell everybody Hello for me.

" The San Francisco wholesale dairy produce exchange announced yester- day that hereafter eggs selling above 60 cents will get the eight per cent discpunt instead of six per cent as heretofore. This action is said to be significant, because eggs are expected to jump above 60 cents quickly. "I predict 85 cents for this year." said W. H. Roussell, a director of the exchange. He said the cost of hand ling eggs had increased approximate ly 50 per cent." The added two per cent discount for eee-s above 60 cents will be pass ed to I the producer, but will ultimate ly be borne by the consumer. Rous sel explained. He said i would be im possibfe to handle eggs over 60 cents at less than an eight per cent discount. ttt ' TIME CARD ON VALLEY SELITZ RAILWAY. .. Effective April!, 1919.
