I). S, IS MOVED OVER TO FRANCE WRITESJIOLDIER Allied Comrades Praise Yanks for Work in Trenches, Says Milton Fighter. Mrs. Carrie Johnson and Charles Callaway of Milton have received the following letter from Carl Mercer, who is In France: "It happened to be my good luck to come over on the 'Aquitania,' the second largest ship afloat. There were about 10,000 American boys on board. Walking around the deck, one would think he was In a big fair ground. I shall never forget the first sunset I saw on the ocean. It 13 one of the grandest sights in the world. "I think the submarines are a joke. I never had the least thought of fear. We saw nothing that even looked like a submarine. I guess they were afraid to show up though, for we were armed and had convoys the greater part of

I the way, We were on the way a long time, in fact we started the first of the month, and there were not many days left of the month when we arrived. In the states I got my training and now I am in the place where I can do my 'bit' for my country. I want to do my best and come back to the good old U. S. A. I do not think there is a fellow over here who does not want to stay until the world is safe for democracy. "When I was in South Hampton, England, I walked up the street with a Scotchman who had been in the trenches since the war commenced and he said that though he had seen many deeds of valor, he had never seen anything to equal the daring of the Americans. The French and English all speak highly of the American soldiers, and it is not uncommon to see an American walking along the street with a French chili sitting high on his shoulders. I really believe the American boy is at home anywhere you put him, but there is every reason for him to be at home here for they seem to have moved the United States over here to France. ' "We have our ball games, moving picture shows, bands and other forms of amusement, and for spiritual teaching the Y. M. C. A. has prayer meeting and a sermon every Sunday evening, and good music both vocal and instrumental. "I am in an American hospital which is nestled in a valley of some reknown. and back from the firing line. It is an ideal place and the scenery is grand. "We have good food, and plenty of it; nice warm beds; passes to town; and chance for amusements. Now, why in the world should the folks back home worry about us? Uncle Sam is watching over his boys."

FORMER P. 0. CLERK READY FOR HUNS Otto H. Sprong, a clerk at the Richmond postofflce, has received a letter from a former employe of the Richmond office, Henry M. Knaubler, who is at Camp Upton, N. Y., at the Engineers headquarters. The letter follows: "I am located here now, but do not know for how long as this is an embarkation camp, and when all the men receive their clothing and overseas equipment we may be leaving soon. For the last few days we have been receiving such clothing as little caps with peaks, wrap leggins, and fine rain-coats. I am now located with the headquarters company, and have helped the mail tlerk several days. Mail business surely is rushing in the army. The company I am in is composed of clerks, non-commissioned officers, truck drivers, and band men. We have fourteen Hawaiians and they play regular Hawaiian music. On our trip here we passed through a very picturesque part of New York. We saw the Catskill mountains and for miles the track was along the Hudson river. At Ravena, New York, we all enjoyed a swim in the Hudson. At Weehawken, New York, wee took a ferry. Passing down New York harbor we could see the skyscrapers. Also passed under Brooklyn Bridge and saw the Goddess of Liberty. This camp is located seventy miles from New York City and is about twenty miles square. At present there are 80,000 troops here. They come and go every day. From all reports the Yanks sure have Kaiser Bill on the run, but he wili be going still faster when Uncle Sam gets 5,000,000 men across. LOCAL ART COLONY AFFEGTED BY WAR Art sales have been badly hit by the war, according to Richmond artists, landscape artists, especially, who are accustomed to receive a high price for their pictures, state that the economy movement in the United States has greatly interfered with art sales. According to some of the Richmond landscape painters, the sales for the last year have decreased by one half and even more. Smaller sketches and pastel paintings sell about as well as usual, because their price is lower. A change in art patronage has been noticed by the artists. Some of the people who have been extensive buyers of art productions have curtailed their purchases, while mechanics and workingmen, now making higher wages than they have ever before made, are spending their money on them. J. A. Seaford, prominent eastern artist, who has been spending the summer in Richmond, says that there is very little difference in the sales of sketches and pastels, but that there is almost no present demand for book illustrations. Publishers are having so much difficulty in putting books out now, he states, because of the paper shortage, that there is not the usual demand for illustrators. Brother of Local Woman Is Wounded in France Clarence P. Throckmorton, brother ' of Mrs. John Hoery, of this city, and son of Charles Throckmorton of Muncie, has been listed in the casualties as being severely wounded in the fighting in France on July 19. Throckmorton has a brother Hor-; ace living in Gr-ensfork and a brother Joseph living in New Paris, and an uncle, Abner Throckmorton, lives in Richmond.
