Neither we a 1 1 b uor filial position affords any excuse for imiflb'laujrhtef, and in thin hour of the nation's peril, idleness is manslaughter. "If the idler will not agree to take a ib and stay on it, then report that idler by name to the couuty council of national de fence. The county council is or gd to summon all parties com plained of below Hr and explain to tbetu just what Hleaees means to the nation at this time. Let the council further -explain that unless hu idler goes to work it will become the doty of the coun cil to send his nMMJffld- address LETTER FROM FRANCE The following i taken from a letter received recently by Mr. and Mrs. D.

There is no de sire to conscript any man to work for any private Individual oreorpiration, but tbe people of this country have made up their minds that if a man won't work he must be made to fight. "I have instructed all police of ficials to rigidly enforce tbe va grant laws. AH men, neb or poor, black or white, who refffse 1 1 work for five days in the week af er having been given notice by the county council of national defence, should be prosecuted for vagrancy. 'In some cases such parties mil be able to show that teebni cally under existing laws they me not legal vagrants, but are only moral vagrants. When the court finds this to be true, then 1 urge the courts to enjtera judg went, and have it duly recorded, bat tbe court find the accused Ruilty of moral vagrancy, but owing to the limitations of the Mtue it is unable to impose punishment. This will reach the die rich as well as the idle poor The defendants so convicted ill then have their names' listed in Washington as slackers and traitors to our soldiers and on the records in the community " which they live as moral va Brants, s "Again let me urge every citi zen not to indulge in wholesale cnarges about idleaes and va grancy, but let him gq to or Point out the individual idler of vagrant to the end tbat such idler or vagrant may be peisua ded to K0 to work i! possible, Bd if persuasion fails tbat he ty be eeut to the front line trt ti, wes or the count chain gang.'' tent reading and writing. waiting for the rain to stop be. fore beginning work on the han gar. Yester day was a very warm and pleasant day. The weather here changes rather often but is never very cold. I enjoyed reading the papers you sent. After reading them, 1 passed them on to some other N. C. fellows here. I want to see the Biblical Recorder that has un account of the W. C. F. com mencement this spring. I went to town with a friend yesterday afternoon and we went through the chateau, an interest ing place which has many events of history connected with it. It is the rnostcui-iously.built place I ever saw, reminds one of de scriptions read in novels. In it were the dungeons w here tbe no bles and princesses of Brittainy were once confined and the pla ces of torture used to force pris oners to make confessions. The buildings are constructed tower within towdr so in case of a siege they are able to be reenforced in the rear. They were built most ly by the Romans before Christ and later modified by Louis XIV Tbe Roman construction can be recognised by the peculiar man tter in which tbe stones and mor- taMre thrown together, usuallyJr" through an underground passage which led down to tbe sea, by which they were able to obtain supplies during a siege; In au other place we were forced to go oh hands and knees for many feet and finally came to a large vault or room which was used as a cemetery. It had a small op ening from above, through which water could be forced, and thus, after partial decomposition, the bod ies of t he dead would be wash ed into the sea. Tbe reason for this method was because the peo pie of the chateau did not want their enemies on the outside to know the. number of people killed in their battles. In all of our walks we were forced to use lan terns, one lantern for every two men. because more thau two men could not keep sight of a light on account of the uarrowness of th passage ways. It was all ery wondenul and 1 gained lots of information as well as pleas ure from the time spent in going through We were very fortunate because a Major in the army who speaks French perfectly, went tnrougn at the same time and he trans lated everything the French guide said, so we got more than would have been possible without him. It will be interesting for you to know that part of this same old chateau is uow being used for a naval baw mid there are several hundred U. S. sailors within its walls. I heard part of a sermon here this morning aud it was tine. Just bad Inspection and we are now in Y tent, Borne playing piano and singing, some writing, some reading andotliers talking It is rest day and everybody care fne and passing the time away pleasantly.

Smith: Ihaveyourlet ter of the tenth, in which you ask: "Will all the townships get their proportion of the bond mouey as section four of the Koud Law directs I mean when the entire $200,000 are s.dd or sooner?" The members of the Road Commission are not par ticularly ambitious for a term in the penitentiary, nor are they, in the habit of making promises that they do not attempt to ful fill. The two hundred thousand dollars raised by the boud issue will be apportioned to tbe sever al townships according to law. Personally, I wanted to sell one hundred thousand dollars worth of bonds in February and to begin work at several places .'J . Mrs. Gideon Walls.
