LETTERS FROM SOLDIERS

, From J. J. Maginot.

j, A P. C. St. XazaUe. France. J. April 23, 1919. 5. Dear Aunt Mary: J Just returned from a f!ve day trip ti Taris and Reims and so must write ! and tell you how- I enjoyP(j it. I in-

tendpd to write while away but my tima was so well taken up traveling and sisht-seeing- that I had no tim. One of the sergeants here and myself got our passes at the same time. fVe left " Wednesday and arrived in Par'-s at S:30 p. m. By the time we got located it was bed time. Next

, morning we were up bright and early ; and took In the sights, among them

the principal, 'ones nice the Eiffel Tower, Napoleon's tomb. Church of the Madeline, Arch of Triumph and Notre Dame cathedral. At 5:30 p. m. we took a train for Reims, passing through Cateau Thierry before dark

and arriving at Epernay about thirty I miles from Reims at S:30 p. m. where we stayed for the night. Next morning we went on to Reims and after dsr.ner we hiked out through the trenches ab5ut seven or eight miles and returned before dark. Next 3ay I we rode out in a car to the old ."Hin,5enburg line," returned and took the '4:30 p. m. train back to Paris. Saturidaj' evening we watched the Parisienfers amongst the bright lights. Sun- ; day morning we attended services at K'otre Dame cathedral, after which we iook a trip to Versailles, returning at I 3 p. m. and took a train at 8 p. m. ,for St. Nazaire, and arriving back here at 7 p. m. today, pretty well t'red out kut well repaid for our trip. Now I will explain more fully what I saw while away. Paris Is indeed a wonderful city, taken from an artistic stand ;point, most of its buildings are works cf art and In this way does not comJpare with our cities, which are not so full of art. Eut 'from a business stand-point it cannot come up to ouf cities, there seems to be very littll competition, everything goes on in an asy manner. This is my personal

epinion of Paris, it is a good place for & Frenchman, but not for an American, It lacks the American pep and 'fret-up. AVe did not stop at Chateau Thierry, but saw practically all we wanted to of It from the train. It Is rot shot up so bad. Epernay, where we stayed over n'ght, al. o escaped the worst shell fire, but at Reims one can Mjitness the results of war in all Its fury, 17,000 buildings have been wrecked, and every building shows the marks of shot and shell. The great cathedral is still a wonderful piece of art, but had to stand the brunt of the hell fire. Sidewalks, streets and car lines were torn up and lamp posts and statues shot down. Everywhere rubbish is piled up four or five feet along the streets. On Friday afternoon we hiked to the trenches, which are all around the city, everywhere for miles and miles as far as your eye can oe, ruins and desolation greets you at every turn. Everywhere you see miles of trenches and barb wire entanglements. We hiked over seven riles through the trenches and numerous dugouts, we also ran across a Gfrman artillery headquarters, they 6'irely were well prepared. Every vhere on the battle field you see thells, grnades. bullets and other equipment laying around. The trenches are partly caved in and some of the Jess disturbed have already been filled In. I tell you, It Is an awe-lnspir-

On Sunday we took the trip to Versailles going' through the castle, where the peace conference is in session, this also included the gallery where peace is to be signed. We had a very interesting vacation and would not take a whole lot for It. Some day I
