(U. I'. Staff Coi respondent)
Paris, Kcb. 2. ( Hy mail to N'ew
Vork ) In the Boulevard Montrartrr
there is a little tailor shop which 1
have known for nearly seven years.
Would you like to hear how the war
struck it? And would you like to
hear how it and its personnel have
fcred?
First, at the head of the house is an
KnglUhman, naturalized French, a
typical short, chubby John Bull sort
of man, whose l:air is now fast turn
in ? gray. This is father. Next are
his two sons, George, the elder,' and
l"red. George spent two years of his
26 in England snd two more in a
fashionable tailoring shop on Fifth
Avenue, New York. He was given a
pretty good education before he look
those "post graduate" courses, for his
father has always intended that
George should succeed him as head
of the house. Kred, who was just fin
ishing his military service in the
French army when the war broke out.
was cashier in the shop, the business
office man. George was about to be
married when the war came on, but
Fred was, only in love and not en
gaged. After these come Andre, a book
keeper Julian, a cutter, and Raymond,
a salesman. The latter has just mar
ried an English girl, chum of the girl
George was engaged to, and the four
were looking forward to happy times
together. They had leased apartments
in the same building. ,
Then the war broke out. George.
Fred, Andre, Julien and Raymond all
marched away, George as second lieu
tenant of reserves, Fred and Raymond
as sargeants. the others as privates.
Only Father, an old cutter too aged
to answer the call, and'a salesman too
delicate for service, remained to keep
the business going. Unable to do tin?
they closed the shop from August 1st
until now.
Today I had a long talk with Fath
er. He is not sad, as he has every
right to be; rather he holds his head
higher and there is the light of some
thing finer and nobler in his eyes.
But I must not (to too fast with the
story. Father showed me three -letters.
The first was from Fred, the
younger son, to his brother, George.
Tart of it read:
"My Dear Georges; Courage? Wliy
of course we will have it; But what
I am thinking of at this hour, old man.
is you and Raymond. It would be
devilish hard to get along without
you and I am making a demand on
God that if it comes to that it must
be me and not yourself. It simply
must happen like that, that's nit, for
you, you lucky rascal, are affianced
and your girl, lucky too, must not be
made a widow.
In my pocket I am carrying letters
from all those I love best. Like that
I somehow feel that I have them
close to me, even here in the trench
es. In his letter Father says good
Christian that he is 'fix your eyes on
the stars, my son, and they will talk
to you of God!"
"I'm sorry we are not in the same
..... 1" , .
company, old fyliow, but 'everything
will pais off all right and then we
will be together again. Anyway we
will nut recriminate', everything must
be as God wills."
And so on. This letter was found
when fjcorge. But to keep
on with the tale. George's letter to
Father went, ill part;
"I have the fight fever again; I
have become a red hot military anew
and I shall steep little tonight know
trig that tomorrow we are to see some
real fighting. My lascars are fully
rniformed and outfitted now and we
are all ready and on tiptoe. We
the officers fear only one thing; our
inability to hold our men back; they
will begin charging bayonets while
the enemy is a mile off unless we keep
them well reigned in.
"Dorothy was truly courage. She
is the finest girl in the world and I
don't deserve such luck. And you.
my dear parents, don't be downheart
eurd; to the contrary be gay; be hap
py because your two sons are doing
their duty. Yon are Christians are
ynu not? Well, you know it is said
that if you have faith even though it
he no bigger thr.n a grain of mustard
you can tell the mountain to go and
plant itself in the. sea apd the moun
tain will do it. What a lesson to
learn! And what a duty it is to try
to get that amount of faith. Now
dear parents, don't be sad. away with
tears! Be joyous! And a'k God. who
holds us all in the hollow of his hand,
to watch over us. Have faith. Au
rcvoir. Your son who loves you ten-

dcrly. George."
Well, George was killed in action.
He fell while storming a German po
sition and his men say he died the
death of a lion.
Fred is dangerously wounded. He
is a prisoner, too, in the hands of the
Germans, at a place not very far from
Berlin.
"Julien hid a leg blown off and died
here in Paris, at an emergency hos
pital close to the I 'lace Vendume.
Raymond was struck squarely by
a 42 centimeter shell and they have
never found even so much as a frag
ment of his body nor a button of his
uniform. He was torn to atoms, lit
erally. And Andre, the bookkeeper, poor
Andre who had failed in business and
was absolutely on his uppers when
Father took bis in and gave him a job,
married and father of a boy of eight,
writes:
"Vly Dear Monsieur Father: People
know me as a failure and the people
are right. I am. I have always been
a poor provider and a neer-lo-welI
albeit a well meaning one. I am
afraid after this I shall be worse off
than ever for I have one leg less than
I used to have. Still I am quite satis
fied so. I feel I have at last done one
little useful thing. I have suffered
great deal since they amputated my
right leg some 12 days ago, and I suf
fer now. It's a strange thing, though,
for I who am such a terrible coward,
love to feel this pain, for it keeps me
reminded of the fact that I, the neer-
do-well, even belong to the multitude
of the glorious. Do not tell my wife
I have but one leg. She does not know
it as yet and I rather she should not
until I am t if God wills it that I
shall ever be.
"It happened while we stormed a
trench on the 17tii. The Germans
were but 90 feet in front of us and
when we got the order to charge bay
onets, it was glorious. I can't de
scribe it to yon and no painter could
paint it; it was simply indescribably
great We took no part of the trench
which was V shaped but the Germans
held the other side of the V. .We
tried to drive each other out all day
but failed so a basket of earth was put
at the angle of the trenches and that
basket was all that stood between
the Germans and as. Late in the af
ternoon I got a piece of shell in the
knee-"
So the letter ran. This is what hap
pened to the little tailor shop. It is
not ficion but as nearly the truth as I
have been able to put it down.
And all over Europe it's the same
story. My little tailor shop is but an
example. There are many others.

What's the odds how a man is killed
in warfare just so he is killed. That's
what all sides arc after. The whole
thing is so brutal that dum-dums
don't cut much of a figure in the busi

A Corvallis man holds his hands up

One of the schemes of the state

One thing about Kellaher to ad
