ALEXANDER , WRITES HOME Former Member of Char lotte v Faculty Tells of Things in France. Hundreds of Charlotte friends will be interested in reading a letter from Cornftral Tlhlmnn S - Alovanrtor nf Tlat- tery B, 318th Field Artillery, Eighty iirst division, who is at ,viiiers ie Patras, France. Before entering the armv he was nn of thn nrtnrilar teach ers in the Charlotte High school. The 1 following letter, written to Fred B. McCall, assistant secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, was not in tended for publication-but Mr. Mc Call permits its publication. It reads; Villers le Patras, France, Cote d' Or Dec 3, 1918. i Dear Fred: I received your very interesting letter last Saturday and as is always the case it brought me great joy. I was greatly enthused over the ten dency toward the bombastic which at times was manifested in your letter. Ymi am mnr or lfiss henominff Quite an expert pen pusher, arid show clearly j the radiant dawn of a literary genius. For that reason the reception of your ketter was a distinct pleasure for me, a pleasure wnicn l trust wm soon u repeated. I received today a bunch of news papers from home and for an hour or more I ueloed deeply into their con tents. Anything- from home is as welcome to me as the fragant flowers of springtime. Sunday afternoon I went down to the little' city of Chatillon sur Seine. I am stationed in a very small village about five miles from it. At Chatillon I had the unexpected pleasure of see ing my friend Query Pharr from Char it4o t !itv .Tnhn f.arr over here and just missed an encounter with Meb i Long, but I missed him nevertneiess. i Chatillon was a peach or a mue place. I saw the ruins of a castle that dates from the twelfth century and I saw an old church that dates from the eighth (so the care taker told us). We went down deep into subter ranean vaults, whre reposes the dust of long dead warriors, who lived and fought and loved and died in centuries past. I thought of the lines: "The knights are dust Their nwnrda are rust Their souls are with the saints we trust." I trust that I shall have the oppor tunity of seeing . many more of France's historic places. . I am really enjoying my experiences over here and am certainly malting the most or my experiences in a strange country. Personally I should like very much to have the opportunity of seeing some other European countries be fore my return. As the Frencn say LANDS WEEP (Continued from Page 1.)
