BREEDIN'S cure Food Grocery never had less inclination to sleep than on the way over. We steamed into Brest on March 17. It was good to be on land again after eleven days of rising and falling with the sea, with nothing to look at but water and nothing to do but eat. I was not enthusiastic about eating while on the ship, though the food was good. Brest appeared imposing from the sea, the great cliffs jutting out and the ancient chateau and ramparts looking grim and warlike. Ships of war rode at anchor giving a blended presentation of modern and mediaeral armaments. This old city of ninety thousand people is thoroughly French, yet as different from some parts of France as Columbia is from Charles. ton. It is the chief port used by the A. E. F. (American Expeditionary Forces) and the great camp near town has been the storm center for months because of mud. I may say in passing that it rained three hun dred and thirty (lays there last year. Your imagination can picture the con dition of the camp when the enormous traffic is considered. Edwin Johnson, a sailor lad, son of Mr. B. A. John son, is stationed at Brest, but I failed to get to his station. Strangely enough I did see Edwin's brother-in law, Dr. Kellett, at Beaune several tim es. I am sorry that I cannot write about some impressive things, but I'll have to tell Sam McFaddin about them when the whole public isn't lis tening. When I tell all I've seen, plus what I've heard, plus what I'll make up I think I'll cause even old Nub and "Uncle Hat" to sit up and take notice. I'm sure if I tell Joe Wells some choice bits of gossip con versation in the shop won't lag for a while. However, just ask any of the boys. We left. for Paris the afternoon Gf the second (lay, after getting travel ordlers, permits, tickets, reservations, ete.-considerable red tape, but nee essary over here. I had already dliscovered that I couldn't speak this language. I can't "polly-voo" much yet. Whatever French I use wvill be spelled as it sounds so you may learn it "as it is spoke." ' I may give you a few choice specimens of it as the dlough boy uses it. "Polly-voo" is one. 'Ask a dloughboy if he speaks French and his reply is likely to be "Naw, I dlon't "polly-voo;" or "Naw;, I dlon't sunk no Frog lingo." There is something intensely American and assertive about the boys. They become im patient with the French for not speaking English! One phrase that the boys all use is "Toot swveet," meaning "in a hurry, right away, etc." A soldier will yell out "Come here, toot sweet." Another expres sion commonly heard is "no compry," meaning "I dlon't undlerstandl." A French phrase we hear often is "kiss kussee," meaning "what in it ?" We ask for something in our feeble ef fort at handling the language and all wve get is "kis kussee," which calls for another effort to get the meaning across, if I may talk like a doughboy. The French money gives us trouble, but the presence of fellows in khaki (all of us have to wear uniform over here) either enables us to arrive at a right conclusion, or emboldens us to forge ahead by 'main force. Of course you know the French word for yes is pronouncedl "wee" and it is always on a French tongue. When they un dlerstandl you they say "wee", some times "ah, wee," and at other times "wee, wee;" but it is what we most commonly hear. The trains are composedl of smal! coaches, each div idled into comnp art ments comparable to a PullIman stateroom. Usually the tickets are not collected nor (10 we see a conduct or.

It is necessary to detail soldiers as police, for Americans have to be re strained by their own kind. Guess I'd better bring this to a close "toot sweet," or even 'my old friend Uncle Puett will rub his eyes and fall asleep. I spent about three weeks in Paris. It hs the custom to wink and look worldly-wise when speaking of Paris, but I'll have to reserve the outpour ing of my wisdom until I go to the barber shop for a hair cut. By the way, Joe would make a fortune with an American shop in Paris. I have been to two barber shops in France, but if there were a third, within reach I should give it preference. The shops in Paris had straight chairs and no sanitation worth commending. Paris is truly a beautiful city. I haven't time to describe what I've. seen. In fact there is much I'm not capable of describing, but much of it will be told in my next speech at New. Zion, with John Henry DuBose and Pat Gibbons, and Uncle George Hicks and mny oldest friend, John 'P. Gibbons, listening. Of course I may run down to the Barrow school and line up the good fellows there, too, taking dinner with Haywood Row land. You have observed that I am in Is-sur-Tille. This is a great adivance base of supplies and both equipment and soldiers are here. The station is nearly two hundred miles southeast of Paris in a valley of the Vosges mountain. It is a fertile valley of. small farms, some farms being mere strips of an acre or two. There is a great army bakery here capable of delivering a million pounds of bread ' a dlay (500,000 two-pound loaves). The French farmers live in little stone houses, with stone walls of hedges. to mark their botundlaries. No mules are used, but great big horses, like those of Hugh McKelvey, do the work, "lhitched ., one n ahea of the. oter"Th ore udrsadUh lagug bttrthnweAmrcas Ahough s am ou s akeY secetrea Fow i thoearya hadmedmbnr offin oc they Eu ae.a Coris. ne esmy todti oer anohe polie, frs Aouernsa tofbee-s strained byo thir then kind mn. of fGces and betivtes) bring thsdo af cloe Ie spent abou theeY wee ino ovr I the cutomr toe wink androok buAll hersn tor rtesv the oupor ingk o ofr wiso upnti o torte barbshopfor way hair th land ed bvy, Je old akeuntingtunebwith Cany ein sop n Pante.
