SOCIAL AND, PERSONAL,

People Here, There and
Elsewhere.
Shirlev Dalzell. of near Paris, written
from France, was received recently
by his father, Mr. Clifton H. Dalzell:
- "Bordeaux, France, .
"Sunday, Nov. 24, 1918.
"Dear Dad As you know by now,
by a special effort of the 'Stars and
Stripes,' he little paper published by
the A. E. F., this, 24th of Novem
ber has been set apart as Dad's
Christmas Letter Day. I am very
glad upon this special occasion to
write you a separate letter, which I
hope be something like what they
call 'Dad's Christmas Victory Letter.'
"I am asked to say that it's all
over now and that we licked 'em, so
guess that will be first. And though
I gave up all at home and came to
give my life if needs be for the great
cause, it has been my good fortune to
be numbered among the survivors.
Have had trials and temptations
galore, but have made an effort to
be a man in the face of it all. and
have tried to conduct myself in
such a way at all times that would
be a credit to my organization and
bring honor upon my uniform and
the country of which I am a repre
sentative upon foreign, soil. Would
like to write a long letter telling you
all about my experiences, but haven't
the tipne, so will wait until I come
home, if it is my lot to come.
"Please say for me to the fathers
who lost their sons in the service,
that the heroism and shed blood of
our gallant dead have brought honor
upon our country, a new and better
nation born of sacrifice, and that
their names shall be written upon
the most glorious pages of American
history. They should always be
proud of the fact that their sons
went to make the supreme sacrifice,
that of giving their lives that others
accomplished now, and in the new
might live in peace; for that we have
brotherhood of nations we will have
peace everlasting. What jmore noble
thing could one do than that? Or
that they should be thankful, and
proud of their sons even though they
shall never return to them; and they
shall all meet again in the 'house not
made with hands,' where all is peace
and love.
"Yesterday I got a letter from you
dated June 29 and addressed to Camp
Merritt. Also got one from War Risk
Insurance Bureau that had been in
the mail since September 11. That's
the first I have ever heard from you
or them about the insurance, ine
one from the War Risk Insurance bu
reau contained affidavit that had to
be filled out and sworn to before no
tary public, so I had to go before- a
' court officer to-day. Got it fixed up
all right and mailed it to-night, so
they should get it soon. Got a letter
from Fan to-day dated November 2.
It made better time than. any I've
had yet. '
"It's ten minutes to seven. T m
supposed to be at a lecture at seven,
so must close this time'. Will write
vou again soon.
"Lovingly, your son,
"SHIRLEY,
"Private Frank S. Dalzell, 11542S8,
174 Aero Squadron, A. P. O. 905,
-American E. ' F., Bordeaux,
France."
Private John Bedford It-ed, v for
mer Bourbon county boy, witmg
from France to his gram1 parents,
Mr. and Mfa. John Bedford, of near
Paris, tellinf Tiow he- passed th ough
Belgium right on the heels of the re
treating Germans. Reed stated- that
when his letter -was wriUen, he was
well on his way toward the River
Rhine. Reed v is r a member of the
15th Field Artillery, American Army
nf nomination. The letter, in part,
"I was on the.lronton th day the
war ended (at least we figured that
it had ended),, and had t been, on the
front for several. .weeks, previous to
that event. . . .The firing continued
until the eleventh hour an Monday.
November 11, but at one minute af
ter eleven all was quiet on our sec-
o:r,.n -hm it has been a grand
n-nrt e-lorious war On the night of m
the 11th. great bonfires were builton
both sides of the lines and there was
of our positions we passed out into
the broad daylight along the main
road, bold and unafraid To-day
finds me in a little village in Lux
embourg, neai the German border.
We passed through Belgium last
week on the heels or the German
arpny. Most any day we expect to
pass into Germany and to the Rhine,
where we will remain as part of the
American Army of Occupation I
trust this will pass the c.msor all
right Well, dear folks, I will
have to close for this time, and will
try to write to you 't rom Germany.
When you wiite to me again use the
same address and it will reach me all
right.
"Lovingly Youis,

ANAECHISTS IHEOW BOMBS IN
PHILADLL?EIA HOMES
PHILADELPHIA, December 31.
This city has passed through a night
of apprehension comparable to noth
ing so much as a night in an English
city threatened by Zeppelins. All
night long "the residences of Senator
Penrose, Mayor Smith and other
prominent citizens, judges and offi
cials and the Federal and city buiid-
ing were under guard against bomb
ers. This action followed a series of
bomb explosions, all taking place
within a half hour in different parts
of the city, that wrecked three homes
and led to the greatest activity on
the part of Federal, State and city
authorities in the effort to ferret out
the persons implicated in the out
rages. Revenge against the judicial and
police authorities for enforcing the
law against sedition and the display
of the red flag of anarchy in this
ed the motive.
The homes wrecked were thoso of
Justice Robert Von Moschzisker of
the State Supreme Court; acting Su
city, the police officials said, fumish-
Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce, i Mr. Louis Maigoien
The occupants of the houses were
hurled from their beds and scores
of windows in nearby houses were
shattered, but no one was seriously
injured. One man was arrested.
One theory is that one party of
men, using an automobile, had com
mitted all three outrages. From
fragments of iron and steel gathered
up after the explosions, Superintend
ent Mills hopes to be able to ascer
tain ttie type of bomb used- by the
miscreants. Pieces of steel, believed
to be from the inside of the bomb,
were found near "his home. He be
lieves a shrapnel bomb of the same
type was used in all the explosions.
The man taken into custody gave
his name as John Lafferty. The po
lice say he was seen to pick up many
of the anarchistic pamphlets found
scattered on the street in front of the
bojmbed houses.

TIME LOST rBY '.SCHOOLS PKE
SENTX.lEB.OBLEM. During tbe 'mid-winter meeting of
ihe County School Superintendents of
the Kentucky Educational Associa
tion, the principal topic for discus
sion will be tp determine some plan
to ,make up the ' time ' lost in the
schools on account of' he influenza
epidemic, and the war. t The teachers
have not, lost, time, as their salaries
went on just ihe same, but the time
that has been, lost by the children,
and the proposition confronting the
teachers is how to mate up tnis nine.
State Superintendent of Public In
struction Gilbert said? that the prob
lem is the most serious that 'has con
fronted the teachers in years, 'and ,he
cannot see any other, remed'y'ftian to

Postmaster General Burleson has
announced a scale of greatly reduced
rates lor short over-night messages,
as distinguished from the 16nger
night Tetters. The new rr.tos gD into
effect on - January 1, and should
prove to be of great value in con
junction with short communication
by the railway mail service, but
which are not of sufficient" urgency
or importance to warrant the pay
ment of the minimum charges hereto
fore in effect for telegraphic trans-
miceinTi
Under the new schedule .short
over-night messages may be sent a
considerable distance for as low as
20c, whie the maximum rate is only
50c as against a dollar maximum,
wrhich has prevailed. Manager
Thos. Parker, of the local Western
Union office, advises that this new
night message service does. not inter
fere in any way with the popular
nights letter service, but is intended
to supplement itfii conjunction with
shorter communications whici have
been going by mail, but which should,
desirably go by telegraph. -
Now that the telegraphs are ope
rated as an integral part of the post
office service it is understood to be
the policy of Postmaster General
Burleson to give the public an oppor
tunity to make the widest use of the
telegraph service in, the. elimination
of delays to communications due to
separation by. distance, at the lowest
rates which the actual cost of per
forming the service on a standardized
basis, will permit.
