On Active Service with the Ameri can Expeditionary Force. LeBriel, France. Jan 14, 1919. Dear Home People: I believe that we were in the midst of house cleaning when I was last chatting with you. Well, from home experiences in that line of work, we soon finished, with the helr of some of the hoys, then we had the walls of the hut whitewashed. I went out on a tour, hunting for lime and all of you would have had a hearty laugh had you seen me "parle vouing" with my dictionary. We get the interpreter when we can. but you may imagine he is extremely busy where so many Americans re side and few of them speak French. Next we tacked up the posters and U. S. map that we brought from New York. It is Impossible for you to imagine how attractive they looked -4nd how the boys did look at them, especially the map, the Y. M. C. A. gill poster and a Liberty Loan one wrh the statue of Liberty on it. '.Ve hope to get curtains soon, then th're will be a decided change in the entire hut. as to general appearance already, many remarks are being niiMle ami men making them pleases us very much. We realized at once th?t a piano would be the life of the bin, so inquired, finding that this vil'age possessed only one. After mv.cli persuasion on part of interpre ter, 1 succeeded in renting one from the village school for girls, with pioniise of taking best care of it. An lie and I immediately decided that in mvvniii ii twin i? serioiislv injured by hobnail shoes which the boys wear hf ve. that we had best "bandage the lees" and other parts, and so we did. We expect games, etc.. from Paris, but as everything must come by Rtage, we hope they will eventually reach us. This division exnecla to move quite soni. and of course we with these m-n to go home with a good impres sion of the Y. M. C A., for as they sav. thev and the 30th division were orphanR" so far as all organizations of Americans were concerned, because of aeing In a British sector. Forgot to tell you In last message that on Saturday evening of our ar rival we found the enclosed document at our place which the major Issued regarding our coming thought you , would find it of interest we surely did. We were not able to decide what we were coming to, but we knew there were camps of barracks in back areas somewhere in France, b't when we reached this tiny vll laige and were told that one thousand niei were bllletted here with no bar racks In sight, our idea of American ca-uw in France were quickly dis pelled. Coming here has given n.e a wider und deeper understanding of the wonderful spirit lu this war. Fpch one is interesting from sow viewpoint, and 1 think we ae most foiiunate 1o be with one of the com bat divisions, and know as fas us pos sible from descriptions of those who took part, just what war is, ami tm iio-v convinced that what Oeuor.il Sherman once said, concerning war. in vat have been trie. We visited the billet Sunday moin Ini, and it was a revelation to r e, bed rolls In neat order down each side, every article In its place and a place for everything. It was an In spiration to me to realize the com tiors under which they live and still keep everything in order. Even In th- kitchens, all cans of any one food all arranged until the whole was much like a display in a grocery window. Even living as they are he e, thev Insist this Is heaven com pared to the front lines. Their spirit can't be beaten, and I love that in them which keeps a smile always on their faces and they believe the best possible is being done for them, even those who are billeted where there Is -beaucoup" (much) mud all about. The 27th, with the 30th, as you know, lost heavily in Belgium, at Cambria and St. Quentln. and to me it is a beautiful thought that he Northern and Southern boys fought side by side In this greatest of all wars, whereas, It was but a little more than half a century ago when their fathers faced each other as bitter en enemies in our clvl conflict. These New York troops of the 27th speak in the highest terms of our men of the South. Many of these men seem so young to have lived through so much. , In this short time, we hare found them most interesting, and not one has said or done one thing ungentle manly in our presence and their at titude toward us Is beautiful. To them, we are mothor. sister, sweet heart and friend, and they see them J through us, and already we have seen many pictures of their wives, babies, etc., and have been told that we remind them of some dear one at Aome. The 2nd battalion of the 106th In fantry, composed of four companies, is here in this village and in a farm house just outside. In the adjoining village, the first battalllon of the same regiment is quartered there Is a small canteen up there also, so we .oik here almost every day in order 1 to see that everything goes well. Did n I write you about wew iear uj. Well, anyway, we went to Mont fort Sto a Y. M. C. A. dinner all the iz It . ll.. V In thin amen ana lour v i" division were there we were inter ested to rieet the other girls and learn what their experiences had i . where. While waiting for dinner. Annie and I went out lo hunt for been. It is much the same every- certain goods , Colonel Olmstead Chief of Staff, spoke to us and straightway began to make plans. Af ter a delicious dinner and much speechmakiug of instructions, he took us over to Bometable, Corps headquarters for 2th and 30th divis ions. There we met General Lewis of the 30th and when he learned that we were from North Carolina, he said thai we should have been placed with the Suth instead of the 27th and that he would have to look into ihe matter. The Chateaux there, used by neaaquarters, is most beauttrui a real one with moat and draw bridge, spacious grounds, lakes, driveways, stables etc. one out of a story book. The French roads are so good that we were not long getting back to M out fort and a lovely ride it was too, along the winding roads lined on each side with poplars. We had din ner at Col. Olmsteads mess, then he brought us on home after a visit to division headquarters Chateaux there in Montfort where we met General O'Ryan. spending a most pleasant hour or so in front of his big open fireplace. If there is anything in a good beginning.' from this day's ex perience we have much in store for us. On Jan. 2nd, a regimental review of the 10th was held about six miles from here. When we waked we had no notion going, but it was a beautiful, sunshiny day. and we couldn't resist, so out we started but we hadn't gone far when a car pick ed us up, so again we were in luck. We stayed till about 2:30 to the last, to see Ihe show-down inspection of contents of packs. Officials from headquarters inspected, as it was a competitive affair in order to deter mine which regiment of the 27th was to be at the top. We do enjoy the boys in the can teen so much. They soon detect that we are from the South, then their next words are of their Camp Wads worth days at Spartanburg, S. C. Our link or tie with them is the fact that Annie and I both went to Con verse College at Spartanburg and know many Spartanburg people. Some of the boys are a little shy at first meeting us, but most of them are anxious to talk with us. In selling the various supplies, such as cig aretts. chewing gum, cookies, tobac co, tooth paste, tooth brushes, towels handkerchiefs, caudles, shaving sticks and brushes (stock In a dry canteen), there Is a good opportunity to become acquainted. We hope to begin serv ing hot chocolate soon, also to have books for ahem to read. By the way, if you alt would realize how eager these men are for magazines, you would send them. Have everybody that you can re mail to us all of their magazines, just as soon as you finish reading them. Tell all of the different members of the family to do the same just mail them to Annie or mvself, (American Y. M. C. A., 12 rue d'Agu esseau. Paris, France.) I know I have mentioned Madrm Gouthier. She is a most charming woman an.l she has been most thought t ill and l'as offered her ser vices in every wav. such as gelling a laundress, etc. She understands the viewpoint or having American ,irls over hero ;:nil has explained to all the natives. To everyone but her v are real curiosities you should see t lie men. women and children scurry ing to the doors and windows as we pass through the streets of the vil lage. Madam Gouthier has a lovely big living room, with big open fire, so you may well imagine that her fireside is most r tractive. Then loo. she tunkes ns feel so nt home, and we have already enjoyed several even ings there, in fact she sent a special invitation to us the second night we were here. At once, she volunteered her aid in French, and Just as soon as we can arrange It we hope to take some real lessons with her. Already, when this division moves, we are planning to live with her and she seems so pleasant that we want to. This battallion has expected to move practically every day since our arrival, and on the 10th we thought we were up against the reality, for orders came in for advance parties, but was rescinded later the boys got very much excited, but, as they say, they are so accustomed to change orders in the army that It means nothing to them. We are glad, of course, for ourselves that they are not gone, but their being disappoint ed so many times Is hard for them I know, yet they smile with it all and are wonderfully patient. I will not write more this time will save something for next week. We are well and happy In our work, and only hope all the white that all of you are well. Don't forget to send the magazines and tell lots and lota of people about It and it might be well to have it an nounced at the various churches. Lots of love to everybody. Lura.

The peace treaty fomulated by the allied and associated powers is to be handed to the German delegates at Versailles Wednesday afteruiHiii. is the announcement made t'irough press dispatches. Definite announcement of the time when the Germans are to be made cognizant of the pri-e that once im perialist Germany must pay for hav ing instigated the world war at last hag been made. With peace measurably near by reason of this fact, there now also seems to be good basis for the belief that the differences between Great Britian France and the United States and Italy over Italy's claims regard-, iug Fiume and the Dalmatian coast may yet be settled with full accord. Italian Premier Orlando and his foreign minister. Baron Sonnino, are returning to Paris from Home, where they have been since they quitted the peace conference more than a week ago owing to inability to obtain what Italy considered concession which would satisfy Italian ambitions. With the Italian question settled, almost complete unanimity of senti ment would prevail in the p?ace con ferences. The obstacle represented by the protests of the Relgian crown coun cil having decided unanimously to sign the treaty, it having been pointed out by the head of the Belgian dele gation that the document gave honor able and satisfactory terms lo Bel gium. China's protest against the award of Kaio-Chau to Japan and a number of smaller Items are yet under discus sion. The council of three sat Mon day afternoon in an endeavor to set tle the minor ones. A plenary session of the peace con ference Is to be held Tuesday after noon, after which the peace treaty Is to be presented to the smaller powers.

RAKER OX TRANSPORT AT SEA TALKS TO WASHINGTON First Paid Radio Message by Phone Made Possible by Apparatus Per fected During the War. The first commercial radio tele phone message was transmitted by wireless at 11:45 a. ni. Monday when Secretary of War Baker, on board the United States ship George Washing ton, spoke with Assistant Secretary of the Navy Roosevelt in Washington by radio telephone. S. R. Winters, special Washington correspondent for the News and Observer, describes this event as follows: The conversation was carried on In the ordinary way. Secretary Roose velt using the regular telephone 1n his office. The steamer George Washington was two hundred miles from New York city at the time and Secretary Baker's voice was clear and distinct. This remarkable . feat was made possible by the use of apparatus per fected during the war under the cog nizance of the Navy Department. The apparatus installed on the George Washington Is of the very latest type, whereby simultaneous talking and listening can be carried out The speaker uses his instrument Just as if he were talking over on an ordi nary telephone. A land telescope line carried the speech from Washington to the high power trans-Atlantic ra dio station at New Brunswick, N. J., where the voice currents were auto- uatlcally sent to the ship. Look sharp to "catch- time by the forelock"; opportunity is bald-head ed. ITALY IWITED TO RETURN TO THE PEACE CONFERENCE MeMtj:e Sent by president Wilson. Clement cau and Lloyd Oorge Trims Are Not Disclosed ut This Time. President Wilson, Premier Clemen ceau and Premier Lloyd George, com posing the council of three, Sunday sent a communication to the Italian government inviting it to resume its place at the peace conference. The council's invitation was of such a nature that it is believed Italy will accept it and that the relations tem orarily broken by the recent depar ture from Paris of Premier and For eign Minister Sonnino will be restor by the presence of Italian delegates at the conference before the treaty is delivered to the German delegates. The council of three considered the Italian situation in its deliberations during the past tvm days and finally determined upon an Initiative of the friendiest manner. The terms of the communication lo the Italian govern ment have not been diclosed. but it is believed they seek to remove the per sonal element of the controversy and to pave the way for a territorial ad justment when the relations are re sumed.

The department of labor, through the information and education service today issued a statement on Ihe re lationship of negro laborers to their employers. The following summary of thas statement was made by H. E. C. Bryant, the Charlotte Observer Wash ington Correspondent. . "That good will and co-operation between white employers, white workers and negroes will do a great deal to solve the future labor pro blems Involving negro workers, is the belief fff officials of the department of labor,' said the announcement today. '"jdepartnient during the war and the past months of reconstruction has formed co-operative negro work ers, advisory committees, which leave local problems to local committees, free to make their own decisions and to devise means for carrying out ef forts to Increase the efficiency of ne gro workers. "The service rendered by the direc tor of negro economics and his assist ants, is of an advisory character, and no attempt has been made to create a separate bureau." The plan and spirit underlying the movement Is co-operative, especially throuuh local co-operative advisory committees of white and colored peo ple. These committees are local in control and character. The work was undertaken during the war ns a means of solving negro, la! or problems incident to the prose cution of war work. Negro workers' advisory committees were formed in several states and in many countries "to study, plan and advise In a co operative spirit and manner with em ployers of negro labor, with white workers, and with negro workers and aid the United States department of labor in securing from negro laborers greater production in industry and agriculture, through increasing regu larly, application and efficiency, by increasing the morale of negro work ers and through Improving their gen eral condition. Under the title, "department of la bor and negro problems," a de bor and the negro problems," a de tailed study of the work of the divis ion of negro economics has recently been made by George L, Boyle, a spe cial investigator for The Lumber World Review and published in that giaga.ine April 10. This study, of the editor, given at some length, with bias, editorial opinion and suggestion tells what has been accomplished and what Is being contemplated. Tne study Is of some Interest to lumber trade In view of the large number of negroes employed In that Industry of the south. The negro advisory com mittees were made up of representa tives of white employers, of negro wage earners, and, where possible, white wage earners. These committees linked employers, employees and such agencies as churches, lodges, womens' clubs and the like, through which the negro workers were influenced. To supervise the work of these commit tees were appointed in nine states where the work was undertaken, four southern states and five northern states. "In short, the aim of the negro eco nomics' work Is to do away with pos sible misunderstandings, prejudices, antagolsms and fears which prevent amicable adjustment of relations of white employers, negro workers, and white workers. In order that the pro ductive capacity of negroes may be utilized to the full extent wthout danger to any Interest to the others. It is just as easy to take command of your world as It is to take com mand of a mob. Nature has a strong Inclination to nrivide means for any end that Is earnestly sought.

Election to Ite Held July 15th New Registration Will Re Held Com missioners Give Notice of Intention to Issue Road Bonds Other Work of the Commissioners. The county commissioners in reg ular session yesterday oidered that the question of issuing bonds not to exceed $50,000 for the purpose of erecting a new high school building for the Monroe school district be left to a vote of the people in an election to be held in the court house from sunrise to sunset on the 15th day of July. The Monroe school district was cre ated by an act of the last legislature and included the city of Monroe and territory coterminous to it. Under the act of the legislature the commission ers are given authority to order an election on the question of issuing bonds for a new building. A new registration for this election was or dered and all who wish to express themselves at the polls must register In order to do so. The old poor house where the children of Monroe and surrounding territory have spent four years of the formative period of their lives has long been a shame and a disgrace. The people are giv en an opportunity in this election to change such deplorlable conditions. The commissioners also gave no tice of their intention to issue bonds for highways and bridges not exceed ing $500,000. A notice of this in tention appears in this issue of The Journal. Under the new road law the commissioners have the authori ty to Issue road bonds without an election if twenty live per cent of the voters of the county do not petition that the question be left to a vole of the people within thirty days after notice of intention lo issue bonds is given. A special election was ordered for Ihe Jerome school district In Goose Creek township on the question of a special school tax for this district. The commissioners decided that Ihe two assistants who should work with County Tax Assessor M. L. Flow, appoinnted under the new tax law by the Tax Commission, should receive $4 per day and expenses. Esq. Flow has selected as his assistants Mr. P. H. Johnson and G. E. Flow. GERMAN DELEGATES DISLIKE TREATMENT IX FRANCE f on-espondent Angry mid Complain Charges Made Hy French Mer chants Are Exorbitant. Newspaper men with the German peace delegation at Versailles are sending generally conservative ac counts of their experiences but Schuerinann, the correspondent of the German Gazette, who wielded a trenchant, bitter pen during the war, does not disguise his disgust at the treatment given the Germans by the French. He devotes most of his re port, says the Associated Press, to "the freedom of movement," accord ed the German delegation, which he says Is restricted to limits. He tells of a stenographer who sought to purchase tooth powder at a drug store and "nearly caused a diplomatic breach." the incident re sulting in her expulsion from the store. The writer says that American cor respondents "believing they could move about as freely as they do In Berlin," tried to Interview a member of the German delegation on its ar rival but were sharply denied the privilege. Schuermann complains of the high prices, especially since the German mark must be transformed into francs, and says the charge for mak ing the exchange is exorbitant. He closes by saying: "Frenchmen are neither too petty nor proud to do cheap business with enemy delegates." Elsie Ferguson's new picture. "The Marriage Price," which is the bill at the Strand 'heatre Wednesday, Is a beautiful photoplay and one of he best in which she has appeared this season.

ENGINEER HILL FORMERLY OK MONROE KILLED IN WRECK Fireman Died From Injuries -Others Hurl Occurred .Near l.ilesUlle AImiiU 9:;t Friday .Night Siecil Train Carried Body From Hamlet lo Charlotte for Interment. Engineer K. B. Hill of Hamlet, a former resident of Monroe, was in stantly killed; Ellis Hammond, col ored fireman, received injuries from which he died a few hours later in the hospital at Hamlet; the baggage master, the mail clerk, and Express messenger Minis were badly hurt, while a number of the passengers suffered minor injuries when train number 13. from Wilmington to Charlotte, was derailed near Lilts ville Friday night. The wreck was probably caused by the placing of -a drawhead on the track. Railroad men state that sec tion hands had been engaged in re moving a drawhead from near where the wreck occurred the day before. They had it loaded on a dump car when a freight train was met and they were forced to throw it from the dump to give the train the right ot way. The drawhead was left lying near the track and the theory is that some party or parties placed it on the track. It was found in the clear ing away of the wreckage, it is said. Officers are invcstUamg. The negro fireman is credited with stating before he died that Engineer Hill saw some object on the track and applied the emergency brakes. The rails are supposed to have spread under this prtssure; hence the derail ment. The train was composed of a mail car, an express car. two day coaches, and a pullman. The engine left the track and rolled some distance away, the tender being torn from it. The rear wheels of the Pullman were the only ones left on the rails. The steam pipes of the engine were broken loose when the engine rolled over and it was impossible for res cuers to approach ii for a few min utes. When the steam subsided they approached and pulled Engineer Hill and the fireman from the wreckage. Doctors state that Mr. Hill must have died almost Instantly. He was scald ed terribly by the escaping steam. The negro fireman was dispatched on a train which was made up near by for the hospital at Hamlet where he died the next morning. News of the wreck reached Monroe a few minutes before ten o'clock. The wrecking crew wu. called out and a special train made up here and dispatched to the scene to bring In the passengers. Several Monroe cit izens went down on this train, among them Mr. C. Smith, express agent, who went to look after the Interests of the express company. He reports that the condition of Messenger Minis is not serious. Among the Monroe people who were passengers on the train which was wrecked were Messrs. W. W. Horn, Sam Howie. Neal Redfem and Marry Benton. They escaped Injury. A inon l; the passengers from the wrecked train which were brought to Monroe on the special train was a little boy about seven years old who had suffered a broken arm. Medical attention was rendered the injured by doctors from Hamlet and Lilcsville. Engineer Hill, who was killed, was a resident of Monroe for a number of years. He moved to Hamlet about four years ago. He had been In the service of the Seaboard for 33 years nnd ras one of tne most capable men In the service of the road. He was a member of the Hamlet Methodist church and faithful to its vows. It, is said that he refused to allow a man who used profanity to act as fireman on his engine. He was a member of the Masonic order. The body was taken to the home at Hamlet where it was prepared for burial. Funeral service wilh Mason ic honors was conducted at the home In Hamlet about 12 o'clock Sunday. The body was then placed on a special train of hree cars and taken to Char lotte where Interment took place In Elmwnod cemetery. The special train arrived at Monroe at 2:45, and a ten minute stop was made here. The interment at Elmwood wa.i with Masonic honors and in the pres ence of a great concourse of people. Mr. Hill was 49 years old and Is survived by his wife and three sons. Bryant Washburn Excellent Boob.
