An Immortal Tribute McCoanell Among the first Americans to fall in the great war was James McConnell of Carthage, a well known figure in Pine hurst, and a leader of the activities of the Sandhills. He was a member of the famous original American Escadrille in the French Flying Corps, and was killed in the battle against heavy odds over the German lines. His heroic death not only brought forth a spontaneous demonstration of patriotic resolve to hold the Huns ac countable in this his native community, where a hospital has been dedicated and a shaft of granite is being erected to his memory, but in the whole United States he was claimed as the true and best type of American. The University of Virginia has built him a memorial with which is combined a tribute paid by the French people, whom he served so well. But this is not all. The following letter from Paris shows that his French Comrades in arms have dedicated a per manent monument upon the spot where he lies buried with their own hands. It is a long call from headquarters of the legions of Petain to the old hamlet of Cross Hill. But it has been bridged by a boy. The letter reads Mr. S. P. McConnell Dear Mr. McConnell: I am writing to you as I am sure that you would be deeply interested could you see how very dear your son's memory is to his French comrades. We are working out in the Aisne in a village called Villequiers Aumont which is near the lines and where there is now a large cantonnement of French troops. Near our headquarters is Fail louel where your son gave up his life last April for the cause and the land we love. The spot where he fell is only three kilometres inside our lines now. You may have heard that the Germans be fore they left put a rough wooden cross over his grave, which is just beside the road about a hundred metres from the deep hole in the ground where his machine landed. In our cantonnement is a Colonel Gruet, who by order of General Hum bert has erected to your son's memory a most beautiful monument built from the stones of Villequiers which of course is all ruins. It was just finished the last week and Colonel Gruet took me out to see it, and he asked me if I thought Mr. McConnell 's family would be pleased; so I assured him I knew you would be most "reconnaisant." I am sending you his address so that you can write him directly. Colonel Gruet is also erecting a column on the spot where the machine fell and I will send you a photo of that when it is finished. This is a rather poor picture of your son's grave but it is not possible to get good pictures now in the Aisne because of the incessant rain. I am also send ing under separate cover some pieces of the wings of his plane. The metal parts are piled at the head of his grave under the inscription bearing his name and date of his death and his escadrille. At the side is the number of the regi ment that erected the monument, the 65th Kegiment of Infantry. If there are any more details you would like me to obtain for you please don't hesitate to call on me. Very sincerely yours, Louise Willard Rodgers. h i ... t - - "- limnm ra iMn .i,n, i i mm ,niun n Miikii ii.uiW MONUMENT ERECTED BY FRENCH SOLDIERS AT MCCONNELL 'S GRAVE Ten Tblng-s America ahould Knew I. Food will win the war. With all the European people living on limited rations, victory must come' in a war of exhaustion to the side that has the greatest reserve of food. Our impera tive duty in America is, therefore, to supply our Allies with some of the sur plus abundance with which this country has been blessed. II. Our Allies need 220,000,000 bush els of wheat from us. If we live as we ordinarily do, we can send them 88,000, 000 bushels. If we exercise care, we can add 132,000,000 bushels to that and save the day. III. The supreme need of the hungry world must be met, not by a reduction of needed food quantity, but by a sub stitution of less-used though equally valuable food materials. IV. Food-saving in Europe is now proceeding by order of relentless author ity, accomplished by much hardship. In our democracy it can be accomplished only through the willing co-operation of a self-denying people anxious to feed nations now suffering the pangs of hunger. V. There are at least 20,000,000 kitchens in the United States, with 20, 000,000 dining-rooms, and the avoidance of all waste in these kitchens and wise feeding at all these tables are vital to victory. VI. It is estimated that the total consumption of flour in the United States, divided by the number of people in the United States, would give an average of 5 pounds per individual per week. If out of this there could be saved one-fifth of that amount, there would be set free over 124,000,000 bushels of wheat for our allies to mix into their already cheapened bread basis. VII. Each one of us should find ou, how much wheat flour we use in our family per week, then plan to use one fifth more of oatmeal, cornmeal, rye, or barley in the breads used. In this way 5,410,000,000 loaves, of bread of 20 ounces may be saved in a year. VIII. . We use for all purposes 120 pounds of fats per capita per year, when, 50 or 60 pounds answers all bodily neieds, and a saving of one-third of an ounce of butter and other fats per day will mean 400,000 tons per year for our Allies now suffering a fat famine. IX. An ounce of sugar saved each day for one year will add 1,200,000 tons to our diminishing sugar supply. There is a world's shortage in sugar. X. There is a meat shortage in the world. There are 8,000,000 fewer beef cattle in this country than there were in 1890 and 41,000,000 more people. If every one will save an ounce of meat daily wo shall save in one year an addi tional meat supply equaling 4,800,000 more cattle, . each dressed animal weigh ing 500 pounds. V. S.
