Dear Aiary Morrow: You are next i-i my cycle of letters, this being the 1 itirth that 1 have sent since leaving N-w York Nov. 13th. In a way 1 feel terrible, because we are being delay t ;1 here and so far have had no cant-en experience to be telling about in f'.ead of sightseeing, etc.. but I am un- aMe to mend matters, so 1 am making :.e best of it all and having as good a Time as possible. Of course, 1 don't And London as fascinating as it was during the sutu- : jer of 1911. w hen, as you no douoi ' rcall, I was here; first, because this is the rainy winter season, then too, vj iite naturally, it isn't so clean and well kept as in peace days, yet with n all, there is a charm to it. even tho w have Been sunshine but twice since arrived in England, then only for a few minutes. From that viewpoint 1 fully agree with the American sol o.iers that the U. S. A. is "God's Country." It has been quite warm ire and I know that you will be ifve it when 1 say that I haven't -.en fouufi it cold enough to wear :J.e long sleeved vest I wear at home. We don't know when we will be -it to Paris, but all of us hope and j'ray to get there within a week or .-. King George and two sons are i i Paris now, and President Wilson js expected there by the 13th of Dec. There are now thousands of soldiers -.n leave of absence for the first time T.'iev are very naturally flocking in Paris to see the nights and "do . the town", and this nccounts for fjeh conjested conditions existing .tiere, and hence, we are told that .t.ere are not accommodations for us ji.st yet. I feel that we will be go ,"g oil soon lor many Y. M. meu and t:r!s, whose contracts are up, are go- . t home, and we are to replace them .v:ne of us may be Bent into Ger- .jaiiy with the army of occupation ii d I do hope that I will be one of 1'ifc fortunate ones, for, as you know I have been there once before and it wnuld afford me the opportunity of studying existing conditions, as com vfwred to what I saw then. We are quite centrally located here !rr anything we wish to do. but I am tK.xious to get along anxious to get :ny accumulated mall In Paris. All ih not play with those of us who are interested. I went to headquarters and volunteered, so this morning .several of us got up at 6:30 and ere waitresses at Eagle Hut from 7:30 to 11:30. It Is really a won- tVrful opportunity Just to walk ij tough this institution, but fasclna t t.g in the extreme to have the op portunity to work in there. The men ae such gentlemen, everyone of 'hem, end they are so delighted to :-.ec American girls In there, for aR 1 have said before, English girls do i ct of the work, thus saving the Y. M. the expense of having Ainerl ran women here for that purpose Nnt only Americans patronize this hut, but all the allied troops Cana l.ans, Australians, French, Belgians New Zealanders, negroes and Eng L';h too. It is a wonderful sight, In fact, one of the big sights of London today. There are Canadian huts UT their own men, also British Y. M. huts too, but it seems that every one likes to patronize the Eagle and it is crowded day and night. One interesting thing of the many. Is a h-ige map of the United States, on which every American soldier is ask- '! to flag his home town or county he writes his name and address on a small paper flag, Including his dl vision, regiment, company, etc to v, Licit he is attached, then sticks it on the map. There are now thous avds and thousands on there and to the extent that the map Is almost covered. After the work came the play a visit to "Ye old Cheshire Cheese", ore of the oldest tea rooms In Lon don, and the very self same one that Samuel Johnson, Goldsmith and oth ers patronized In their days; all of their favorite seats, chairs etc, be ing marked. They serve there a iiieat pie, said to be made by the same old recipe used at that time. The l'ie being composed principally of sUttk, lark and kidney, which was M ry good and savory and coupled with pickles, potatoes, cheese and a jam tart, made a number one meal. To get to many of these places of In terest, especially the historical ones, many of which have been hedged in by modern buildings, requires'much time and wandering about in these narrow alleyways In order to get to them, "second turning to the left." (English way of expressing it). We visited Johnsons home where his famous dictionary was compiled, and there a delightful old gray haired English woman lives to guide visitors through her daughter being now In America, she seems much interested in all people "from the States", as they express It here. Such visits as the latter one brings to mind high school and college English classes, and I And that I usually remember more about the celebrities than I ever dreamed I would. We did noth-i-ifi more during the afternoon but fro to army headquarters with Miss Abott, in order to find where a boy was for whom she brought over some packages from America, to find that he, as many others In aero squadrons, bad left for Liverpool, en route home. I almost forgot to say that Wrlston Scales hunted us up the other day. having learned from some one at the hut that we were here. He has re cently been promoted and now wears brass buttons seemed so glad to see us and of course we were not only surprised but delighted at meeting him. He thinks that he will be go ing home in January. i am so tired, so good night. will continue this tomorrow some time. Sunday night. Dec. 1st, 1918: Another rainy day we have had. hut we went just the same. After being lost in the "underground". (subway) and changing twice, we arrived at St. Pauls Cathedral (Episcopal! when service was about half over, the communion service was most impressive, the music so boauti ful, the boys voices sounding like or pan chords within themselves, and this blending into the strains from a most wonderful organ, put me in a mood to have listened for hours with out discomfort. Being near old Crip pie gate church, which is the burial place of Milton, and in which Oliver Cromwell was married and being lo cated in the plague and fire district of 1666, we wound round about the old church, chatted several Jolly "Bobbles", (policemen), then were fortunate in having the very old and gray Vicar show us through and then came back to Eagle hut to have lunch ended up with real hot cakes and svrup. While there we heard of a program which is given each Sunday night at one of the large theatres for women and men In uniform. Of course while eating and standing in line we talked w ith many of the men and a sailor boy insisted that we try and get tickets as they are given out there at the huf. After placing our names on the list for tickets, we came buck to the hotel to meet Miss MrPavid. then reported again at Eagle hut at six o'clock to claim our tickets. We met up with many of the 30th Division, one from Edenton X. C, and a Urlce from Chester, S. C. three from New York state and Wrls ton Scales again. The Southern men were overjoyed to see us and It Is quite easy to lind a topic of conver sation when they seem so happy to see you and it makes one so glad to be here. We all went to the con cert together and had a jolly good lime. The Southern men, especially. ure horrified at the way a number of the women here smoke and become Intoxicated publicly, and I might add at their general conduct; so I know that it is quits a treat to them to be with women of character. Of course there are such women in England, but our soldiers don't have the opportunt ty lo meet with the better class to much extent and are accosted by the other type all times of day and night. Monday. Doc. 2nd. 1918: I have forgotten (o say that Annie Lee and I have not been rooming together in London since our night in the Tur kish Baths, to which I referred form erly. after which we had to secure oilier rooms and lo our regret were separated, for I had to see American Consul next day, then Miss K.iulk man, o:ie of the girls who came over with i s, and Annie went sight seeing with Cnpt. Hull for two days and so I have been with Miss Abbott. Or course we meet every day and take our meals together and will room to- geiher i:i a few days so as to repack our trr.nks. I slept until ten this morning. It is so dark and dreary most of the tine sun rises after sev en and sets at 3:50, so to me it really seonis ns if wo have no day time, all eiier like early morning or misty twilight I vouldu't want this cli mate to live in at all. Mrs. Hearne, the English lady, who offered to take us to some places of interest, asked us to meet her and go to Kensington museum, but I heard the men from the base hospital would all be sent away in a few days, so Miss McDavid and I decided to go out there and Mrs. Hearne and Miss Abbott joined us. I am so glad that we did decide to go. I never dream ed the men and boys would be so glad and overjoyed to see us. This hospital Is a huge affair and much like the base hospitals at our camps except that It is situated in a beautiful loca tion. We visited as many wards as possible with our limited time, and in each asked for North and South Carolina boys and oftentimes on en tering and without ceremony would announce ourselves by calling out loud and In almost everyone there were responses. Many of them are yet confined to cots (those more seri ously wounded), others up In chairs and various devices and others walk ing and lounging around. Many were In a pitiful condition arms and legs gone, eyes out, noses off and faces disfigured beyond description. Some with facial paralysis, caused by shrapnel passing through the head and severing the nerves that control same. All seemed so eager to talk to tm and Invariably would begin by relating their individual experiences horrible beyond description they were too and every one of them are simply "crazy" to get hack home. One X. C. boy said, "I wouldn't live over here If they would give me the Tower of Loudon to live in." It Is surprising to see how happy they are and what wonderful spirit they are in after all they have been through. They have American nurses and do appreciate them so much. Before coming to England, most or them have been In English hospitals In France because of having been on the English sector. I shall have to take my hat off to the Red Cross nurses. I believe that they deserve most credit of any women war work ers and to be out there this afternoon made me wish again that I had been trained so I could have offered my (Contlnued on page eight.) GOVERNOR lUCKETT'S MESSAGE KECEIVEH WITH EXTHISIASM Governor lrrnletl Hi Ul-eniiial Message In m targe Audience in House of Representatives Many Features of the Address Cheered. Senators and represntatives of the General Assembly met at noon Thurs day in the Representative Hall and listened with Intense interest for two hours while the, Governor delivered his bi ennial message. Mr. W. J. Martin. Kaleigh corres pondent of the Charlotte Obesrver. briefly sums up the Governor's mes sage: "So many features of the message drew out bursts of applause that it would be difficult to indicate just what statement or recommendation elicited the greatest expression of ap proval. His declaration for ample tax provision for assuring six months school under the new constitutional amendment and for giving the teach ers adequate salaries. Instead of tho present ridiculously small compensa tion, stirred great applause. "The insistence that there must be advancement not only in road build ing but in road maintenance, and that the county that builds roads and then fails to provide amply for their main tenance Is like a farmer planting a crop and then failing to cultivate it brought a storm of upplause, both for the principle expressed and the characteristically impressive manner in which this viewpoint was made. "The governor's views on taxation met a strong response as did his rec ommendation that the state convicts be assured a status of prisoners of hope in being placed at the state farm under conditions that will as sure the best development of their morals and health. His presentation of North Carolina's part in the war work brought vociferous applause as the governor waxed more eloquent in his recitation of the deeds of the state and the nation in this titanic struggle that has, in the victory of the allies, brought assurance of world wide freedom and brother hood." LOYAL RUSSIAN'S DEFEAT LARGE BOLSHEVIK ARMY Capture .II.IMMI Prisoner mill Much War Material The Bolshevik,. In vasion Advancing Slowly But Ir resistibly, Loyal Russian troops operating under the authority of the Omsk gov ernment have defeated a large bolshe vik army, capturing 31.000 prisoners and large quantities of war material according to a telegram from the Omsk authorities to the Russian tnln ister at Stockholm. The message as printed In the Swedish press was re celved Wednesday at the Btale de partment. The telegram said the third bolshe vik army of 10 regiments had been shattered and that the loyal troops had advanced beyond Kama and Noet and pursuing the enemy toward Glas sov. Booty captured Included armor ed trains as well as large qiiamiiles of war matrials and reserve supplies. It was assumed here that the Kus sliin forces referred to were those which recently captured a city in European Russia, near the Siberian line. More than 10,000 prisoners were taken in that engagement. Canteen Notes. The month of December was a Imsy one with the Canteen workers ami the following report shows what has been done: 11.306 men on regular and troop trains have been served. Sup plies used were: sandwiches, 1,23; apples, 78 bushels; cigarettes. 8, mil; postal cards, 497; slices of cake, 1, 156; hot biscuit with butter and jel ly, 692; fried chicken, 17; fried oysters, 90; coffee, 202 gallons; can dy, 30 pounds; matches, 60 boxes; oranges and tangerines, 17 crates. The cost of serving these 11.306 men amounted to $240.00. The Can teen huts are "bits of sunshine along the way" for the boys, and the work ers are specially pleased to serve them and show them that they are appreciated. The Monroe hut has quite a reputation and some boys passing through one night last week said they had been anticipating their arrival at Monroe with a great deal of pleasure. Some of them had been here before and knew what to expect. The interest in the work should in crease as the overseas and wounded men begin to pass through. On Sunday night a train of wound ed soldiers of the 30th Division were served by Miss Elizabeth Sikos' team and special dainties had been prepar ed for them. They were very appre ciative, and those who were able to come Into the hut enjoyed themselves very much. No service Is too great for us to render these brave men uho come back to us, some blind, seme crippled for life and others wounded in various ways. The hut la always warm and comfortable and the boys always seem loath to leave, as It Is more home-like than anything they have been accustomed to for many months. Canteen Reporter.

FORMER CZAK OF IUSMA IS DECLARED STII.I, ALIVE The Bolshevik Officer Ordered to Carry Out Ikv.tli Sentence Was Lenient and Allowed the Ciar lo EM-ajie With lite Empress it ml Their Daughters. The British Wireless Service of the Charlotte Observer has given out the following information received from a correspondent at Archangel: The correspondent telegraphs: "A friend of mine. Prince M . who has just returned from Petro grad, informed me that he had a long talk with Grand Duke Cyril on No vember 18. The grand duke told him that he had Just received a letter from Grand Duchess Tatiana, daugh ter of the emperor, who wrote that the empress and her daughters were still alive and that the emperor had not been shot. "The bolshevik officer who was or dered to carry out the sentence of death told the emperor that it was a matter of tndiflereuce to him who was shot. He had orders to produce a corpse bullets in the head of a victim would make identification im possible. "Count T , who was present at the conversation, offered to sacrifice himself, saying he considered it was his duty to lay down his life for his sovereign. Tho emperor protested vehemently, but was overruled by Count T and the oftlcer. The em peror escaped, but no one knows where he is at the present time. ' Dr. Botkin has also written to his sister to the effect that 'the greatest crime of the twentieth century has miscarried.' " An Associated Press dispatch from Warsaw under date of December 24 gave Michael De Tchihatchef, a nep hew of General Skoropadskl, as au thority for the statement that the former Russian emperor and his en lire family were still alive. Count Tatichlev, the emperor's former per sonal military attache, was named as the victim who was shot instead of the emperor." Memories of I'ncle Johnnie Preslar. (Written for The Journal.) Y'our reference In the issue of Jan uary 3rd to the coat of Uncle John nie Preslr.r, set a train of thought to going in the mind of a grandson of hts, a few of whirh micht net-b out of place In The Journal. Like all good grandfathers, he thought a great deal of his grandchil dren, which made them in turn think a great deal of him. The' following Incident shows his thoughtfulness. for them. When a very small bov 1 went with him to Monroe in the wag on. He had put in some nice apples for us to eat on the way. I ale of them quite freely, but before reach ing town remarked that eating ap pies made me hungry. On reaching the first store he went In and called for sweet crackers, saying that he had a little grandson along that had been eating apples and said that eating apples made him hungry. I relished the crackers. When I had learned to use the ax a little I assisted him In clearing a little new ground. I could only cut right handed and so every stum.) where I foiled a tree had two sharp uneven points. One day he pointed out a very ugly one to me and said, "If you ever learn to chop again, loam to chop left handed as well as right. I learned. In the same new ground we cut a tree that was leaning over a small lake of water. After we had gotten It cut off he asked me what about our getting it over on one side. I ex pressed doubt. Forthwith he gave me a little lecture, and charged me never to say I can't, but always, I can. Then he repeated his question, and I made about the same reply. He laughed and again lectured me re peating the same question. I had gotten the lesson and answered to please him. The log was soon re moved. A quotation that he used much was, "Be sure you are right, then go ahead." In young manhood he took great pride In singing and taught many singing schools, but after middle life he gave It up entirely. I don't re member ever hearing him sing or whistle, though he was a lover of good music as long as he lived. During the latter part of his life, grandfather made it a rule to keep only one cow and hog at a time and they were usually about the best in the community. He sold butter In Monroe and most always prepared it for market himself. He had a spe cial day for delivery and always shaved and put on good clothes to make the trip. One of his peculiarities was that he never sheared his mules but let them go with long mane and tail. As to his honesty, no one that knew hitn was afraid lo trust him for any amount. It is said that on one occasion he rode three miles to pay a man two cents. Grandson. Mrs. F. Gustave Henderson enter tained at a rook party Friday after noon in honor of Mrs. Stafford Wolfe. Those playing were Mesdames A L. Monroe, Roland Beasley. J. V. Hen derson, Ella Houston, E. S. Green Albert RedfeariC Hargrove Bowles. Allen Heath, E. B. Stack. W. S. Bas kerville and Minnie Wolfe. A dell clous salad course was served. N Little Miss Virginia Reid Basker vtlle Is at home to a number of her friends this afternoon, today being fcer tenth birthday. Terms of Armistice Must Ix Comple ted in Ten Days. Only ten days remain before the expiration of the time alloted for Germany of the meeting of the arm istice terms of Marshal Foch, and many of the details still remain not entirely complied with. This is par ticularly true as concerns article 4 of the armistice, regarding the sur render of war materials, especially guns and airplanes. About 5.000 motor trucks have been delivered up, but the number of railroad engines turned over equals only half the num ber stipulated in the armistice 5. 000. A great number of the 150.0UU railway cars in good working order called for are still undelivered. In addition, naval units, including sub marines, remain in German sea ports, although under the terms of the armistice they should have been surrendered. Added to the non-fulfillment of the surrender of war paraphernalia is the failure of Germany to abide by her agreement to repatriate immediately a great number of entente soldiers held as prisoners, and in high quar ters the question has arisen if in spite of Marshal Foch's accustomed indulgence, the inter allied command will not be more severe in its deal ings with Germany when the expected request by Germany for a further de lay in meeting the allied terms conies up for discussion. Items from Pleasant Hill. Correspondence of The Journal. Pleasant Hill. Jan. 6. The Pleas ant Hill community seems to have been greatly favored by the influenza epidemic. So far we know of only one light case, and that during the first outbreak. We should be thank ful that we have been spared so long from this dreadful disease. The committee and teachers of Pleasant Hill school are doing all they can to keep the "flu" out of the school. No pupil is allowed to at tend school for four days after he visits districts affected with the dis ease. So far no time has been lost by the school. Mr. J. A. Nash has been wearing a broad smile for the past few days. He says he has plenty of help at his house a big baby girl, to wash the dishes, has Just arrived. The James boys caught a large mink Friday. It was said that Mr. W. M. Sells decided that he could not leuiaia-ou the scene while Us skin was being removed from the body. We believe that the farmers of this section are as wide awake and patri otic as any section of our Stale. They have answered every call the govern ment has made during the great war. They have felt the need of produc ing more food stuff to feed the world and bravely set themselves to the lask of meeting the demand. Larger small grain crops have been sown than ever. This, together wiih better soil preparation and better fertilizing promises a bumper crop next harvest. Now they are looking forward to the coining spring. Fertilizer ingredi ents are being purchased and the win ter work is being rapidly carried on in order to be in readiness for the spring drive. By raising more barn yard manure, crop rotation and more skillful fanning they are trying to do their honest duty toward helping feed a starving world. One thing that we cannot under stand is, how can a farmer be a pro gressive farmer or claim to be one and not take a good reliable farm paper. The New Year is here and now is the time for us to make our new year resolutions. If nothing else, let us resolve to do more for others than ever before. The great world war Is practically over and the starving peo ple of Eurasia, who suffered most and fought so long and bravely, must be fed and clothed. The food situation grows more serious each day, and with all our efforts, many will perish for lack of food. Lot us, who are living In luxury, do our bit and help save the cause for which the war was fought. Starvation will cause revolu tion and unless these people are fed our boys will have died in vain. So let is rally to the great command, save and serve. Putting others first, it is our duty to save more this year than ever, so that others may live and that God may look down on us and say "You are a good and unselfish people." Animus. Three Railroad Plans ProHseL Three well defined proposals' for legislation dealing with railroads now are before Congress. Railroad executives Thursday pre sented to the senate Interstate com merce committee their plan, calling for private ownership and operation, under regulation of a secretary ol transportation a new cabinet oftl cer with statutory guarantee of ad equate earnings, rates to be proposed by the roads and subject to review by the secretary of transportation and the Interstate commerce commis sion, and supervise pooling of equip ment, common use of terminals, re routing of traffic, mergers, construc tion of new lines and issuance of se curities. Previously the interstate commerce commission had suggested a policy of private ownership and operation un der government regulation. Director General McAdoo had ad vocated continuation of government control for. five years, and as an al ternative early relinquishment of the roads from federal management. Shippers and representatives of state railroad commissions are the two principal groups which have not yet presented their views to the sen ate committee. WII.SOX OFFICIALLY AXXOIX CES DEATH OF KOOSEYKLT. Was Cable! I'roiu Paris Weilne,duy ami Sent Out From Slate IVpait. inent President Also Cabled Mr. Koosett It. The following proclamation of the death of Theodore Roosevelt was ca bled from Paris Wednesday by Presi dent Wilson and issued from the de partment of state: 'To the people of the United Slates: It becomes my sad duty to announce officially the death of The odore Roosevelt. President of the United States from September 14th, 1901, to March 4th. 1909, which oc curred at his home at Sagamore Hill, Oyster Bay, New York, at 4:15 in the morning of January 6. 1919. In his death the United State has lost one of its most distinguished and patriotic citizens, who had endeared himself to the people by his strenuous devo tion to their interests and to the public interests of his country. "As President of the police board of his native city, as a member of the legislature and governor of his state, as civil service commissioner, as as sistant secretary of the navy, as vice president and as President of the United States, he displayed adminis trative powers of a signal order and conducted the affairs of these various offices with a concentration of effort and a vaichful care which permitted no divergence from the line of duty he had definitely set for himself. "In the war with Spain, he dis played singular Initiative and energy and distinguished himself among the commanders of the army in the field. As President he awoke the nation to the dangers of private control which lurked in our financial and indus trial systems. It was by thus arrest ing the attention and stimulating the purpose of the country that he open ed the way for subsequent ni'cessary and beneficent reforms. "His private life was characterized by a simplicity, a virtue and an af fection worthy of all adniiratlon'and emulation by the people of America. "In testimony of the respect in which his memory is held by the government and the people of the United States, 1 do hereby direct that the flags of the White House and the several department buildings be displayed at half mast for a period of thirty days, and that suitable military and naval honors tinder' orders of ' the secretaries of war and of the na vy be rendered on the day of the funeral. "Done this seventh day of January, In the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and nineteen, and of the independence of the United States of America the one hundred and forty-third." Mrs. Roosevelt received Wednesday n cablegram of sympathy from Pres ident Wilson, dated Modane. which Is on the Franco-Italian frontier, reading as follows: "Pray accept my heartfelt sympa t hy o tnehdtah e thy on the death of your distinguish ed husband, the news of which has shocked me very much." About Good Roads. To the Editor of The Journal: I shall thank you to give me space enough to say a few words concern ing the good road question. Ninety nine per cent or the county Is In fa vor of good roads, so let's ask the Representatives to support the good road bill which is to come up at the present session of the Legislature whereby we will get roads all over the State. And If we fail to get a Slate law let's hope that we will get a county bill or even a bond Issue. Just what the people want Is better roads, and at once, or as soon as pos sible. The present system Is a failure In big words, and in the words of one of my neighbors, "we are paying like Hell and not getting a thing." So IT It takes more paying to get good roads, why let it come; It would be the cheapest in the long run to us. The section of road I am on pays over a hundred dollars Into the coun ty treasury, works eight hands six days each (with our own tools) and then when we go to town have to go (over 3 miles of "terrible" road (near Rocky River road from cross roads near Prospect to P. P. Ross') that has had no work In 4 or 5 years. This Is just an example of the Injus tice that the present system entails. Lei us hope that it will soon be over. I for one am In favor of good roads at any reasonable cost, and hope to get them soon. Respectfully, Edgar C. Hinson. Rev. and Mrs. H. H. Jordan enter tained the of (leers and teachers of the Sunda'- school of Central Metho dist church Friday evening. Supt. R. W. Allen r id Rev. Mr. Jordan made interesting and helpful talks.
