had been chartered by the Cana

Cptotl.e latest roports only
24 of those on board, including

without warning.
The submarine commander
who ordered the captain of the
Llandovery Castle, several of his

An Extract From A Letter From France.
Following is an extract taken
from a letter sent in by Miss Jul
ia Livesay, from her brother Ser
g,;ant Chns. R. Livesay. with the
American Expeditionary Forces
in France:
'I have seen about all of France
that I want to see. but still I am
satisfied. We have a little ex
citement some time but that wor
ries us very little. I have been in
the trenches two different times
and don't find conditions so very
bid. I would as soon be in the
tranches as to be five miles away
It isirt near as bad a place as
pe jp'e think it to be, and as long
as yon keep your head down you
are safe. Some time ego the top
of the billet iu which I was sleep
ins was taken off by a hell. We
sure weren't very long gettin
out. A few days ago one of our
Dlanes brought down a German
plane right tear where we were
standing. The two men were
killed, ( ne jumped out, anl the
other one was bun.ed to death."

The Road Commission was in

The? expect to begin grading
next week. With the exception
of one foreman and a steam
shovel runner, the Superinten
dent expects to use local labor.
Among tbe men needed will re
a fireman and a blacksmith. Tl e
commission wants to pay areas
ouable price for labor; but they
eel that men who are interested
iu tbe roads can afford to woik
themselves and their teams at
fdmewhat lower price than they
would work elsewhere. The com
mission proposes, as fir as pos

sections that are willing to fur
nisb teams at a reasonable price.
