TV - ... 7 . - i, .V. OCTAL and PERSONAL AN INVOCATION. All, Life, press close thy passionate lips to mine Before we part, , And let thy mad, ecstatic hunger throb Through all my heart. Oh, haste the flood tide of thy glorious youth -Through my slow veins, And strike this deadening palsy from my limbs , With quickening pains. Then send me lilting, vibrant with thy song Upon the course that thou hast charted out. And give me all the tasks that weak lings shun; That triumphing, I prove beyond all doubt, The high invincibility of Thee, And when my work is done, in Hea ven's name Oh, leave me not to flicker back to Thee A feeble, ever-dying little flame. But. take me with a challenge in my throat. Clear-eyed and luety, eager for the strife Bursting all bonds for sheer excess of Thee; Then hurl me thrilling into keener.

Monroe has received let ters from, his sons, 'James C. Monroe, Company D., 120th machine gun bat talion, and Lieut. W. G. Monroe, fourth anti-aircraft battalion, being their Christmas letters to Captain Monroe. James Monroe wrote from Luxemburg, en route to Germany, and he declared he had "seen the world on foot." "On my way from the hospital," writes Mr. Monroe, 'I stopped in Paris a few days but did not know that my brother Will was anywhere near. He was mighty lucky in not having to go on the front for it was hell on earth. Sleeping in mud and not being able to get out of the hole which you had to dig in a hurried fashion is no pleasant experience. I have been up two nights out of three every time I was on the line, and I had to stay up and awake. I was act ing as a sniper and got four Huns. I was not supposed to be a sniper as I was with headquarters but I could not resist firing on them. I had to wait in a shell hole and drew plenty of fire In when I fired, but the Dutch only hit you when they shoot at some one else: "I was in Paris the day the armistice was signed and I haye never seen such a wild celebration in my life. The peo ple went absolutely crazy. Naturally the Americans in Paris were very popular and were hugged and kissed a thousand times and called the "sav iors of France." That night Paris was lighted for the first time in four years and it was a very different Paris from the first time I saw it." Notifying Mm of the death of one of his sons, another son, First Lieuten ant Geo. K. Snow, U. S. A.r. has writ ten his father, J. A. Snow, of the rail way mail service between Wilmington and Mt. Airy, one of the finest letters yet to be published from the number of splendid young Americans who have done their duty on the other side. The letter is dated Niee, France, No vember 25, and the news of the death of one of the sons, as given by the other, was the first news their father and mother had received from any source of the death of the young man. The letter is as follows: "My Dear Dad: No doubt you have heard by this time that koy has made the supreme sacrifice, for his flag. I cannot realize that such is the case. It doesn't seem possible. God only knows how I envy him, for there could could be no more glorious way to give the life God gave us for humanity and godliness against a power of vice and corruption and avarice. 'I have been sick myself and some times I can't help but wonder if it were not better that I should be gone, but God gave us life and he can take it from us whenever it is His will to do so; I've had the 'flu' and the medical major gave me up. A wonderful little French nurse worked over me and now I will soon be well and strong again. "Dad, I Just can't write to mama as yet. She must write me first, but I want you all to not grieve for that boy. I would' that I could go across the Great Divide in the same glorious way. I've tried every possible means of getting to the front. I sacrificed cer tain promotions for the. very smallest chances of getting transferred to in fantry. They might have had my com mission and. all 'if there had been any way, any honorable way; of giving it up. ' "I have a letter from Roy's company commander and it is a wonderful letter though 4t ; only, contains a - very; few words. I.wiU not trust that letter to the mails, butvwill keep it and "always treasure it. He says, 'A better- soldier never, fought for his country. That' is the highest praise a mortal man can give. It is a eulogy that has no com parison and one that all men, real men, would be proud to have said of themselves. 'I want to get back home and do my best to make life worth living for you and mamma. I will do all I can to be two sons to you and with the help of God I'm going to be a man henceforth that can face the world with the knowledge of a concience cleansed and purged. T will meet that boy again where friends and relatives never part. I want to get home and talk to you and try to tell you how it seems that my whole being has changed, how I want to try to help men live 'beter lives and be good, no ble men whtom God will be glad to welcome into His love and protection. This is a very pretty place and it is very aice but I am still too weak to get about more than a couple of hours a day. I am due back at Tours on December 5, hope I can make it. Try to let mamma not grieve too much. Give her what you can to com fort and love and let's all start life over again in memory of the boy who has gone before us. I tried to see him but it was impossible so I sent him what he asked for. Remember this and be proud that your blood was in the veins i of such a son. He died like a man, with his face to the enemy and' never shirked his duty. 'A better sol dier never fought for his country.' 'All my love to the family. Use same address. "GEORGE." GERMANY INQUIRING OF FRANCE REGARDING TRADE Paris, Dec. 27. Inquiries already have been made by Germany as to what trade relations she may have with France after peace is made per manent. A conference has been held in Lux emburg for preliminary consideration of the problem of trade with Germany and other- conferences will be held. "We shall ask the German delegates what the right bank of the Rhine can offer in exchange for what the left bank might concede. That will be the basis for negotiations," said Loucheur minister of munitions. Employers of labor in tne Briey re gion have been told by Loucheur that they must adapt themselves to new ec onomic conditions and be prepared to pay higher wages and to cqn,cde the claims of their workers in regard to their rights as collaborators.
