The trustees and faculty of the
University of North Carolina,
have decided to wage a campaign,
beginning March 10th, for a fund,
with which to erect a building in
memory of the late President
Edward Kidder Graham. The
, building is to cost $150,000 and
is to be cos which has long been
needed upon the campus and for
which President Graham was
clanhinsr at the time of his death.
It is to be centrally located
upon the campus, and is to serve
the people of the whole state. It
is to contain accommodations for
all the various student activities
which are Tnow scattered ,over
the campus with no adequate
accommodations. It is to contain
an adequate Y. M. C A., a good
and much needed auditorium,
reception rooms for alumni and
students' parents and any other
visitors at the University, besides
other accommodations. The

A Monument to the Boys.
Mr. London,
Editor Post-Dispatch,
My dear Mr. London:
I feel, somehow, that I should
like to see, erected in our midst,
a lasting tribute to the bravery
and self sacrifice, of those who
who have fallen in our recent
battles in France. Little do we
know and feel what these boys
of ours have endured, without
complaint Little do we know
how some of them died, not
thinking of self, but that we, who
did not go, may enjoy the blessed
privilege of living in the land of
the free, unmolested by domin
ating influences of the Kaiser.
In this connection and to this
end, I desire to offer you a sub
scriDtion of twenty-five ($25.00)
dollars, on demand, when such a
sum has been raised, commen
surate to the dignity of this oc
casion and the pride of our coun
try, for the erection of a monu
ment to this cause, together with
those of our heroes of the Con
federacy. I think that through
your good offices this start may
soon finish and that our people
will see to it, that what is this
day done, may be for the glory
of those who have so beautifully
represented us at home.
Very sincerely

Alex Monroe Writes.
Mont Dore, France
Jan. 7, 1919.
Dear - : j . '
As a girl would say, I'm very much
thrilled tonight, and what I'm about to
write may be very tiresome to you but it
is certainly interesting to me. ;'
Firstly:- I am way up here in the
mountains on a ten-day furlough, in the
most beautiful country I have ever seen
stopping at a famous resort hotel, arid
best of all Uncle Sam is paying for it at
16 francs ($3.50) per day. I will not try
to give you the complete history of this
place -an encyclopedia wiil do that?"
but just to show you what kind of 'life
I'm living, and to prove that . Uncle Sam
is the greatest sport of them all, -the
following goes:- . ?
The French people have tendered the
American Expeditionary Forces all the
famous resorts and Resort Hotels for
rest and recreation centers. This place
(Mont Dore) is supposed to be the second
fastest resort in the world, Monte Carlo
of course being first There are 1200
men here from the 6th Division and we
are all stopping at these swell hotels.
The place is something like Pinehurst
only there are abont twenty big hotels,
and I'm writing this letter in the "big
Casino, which is the most luxurious and
beautiful building I have ever been in. It
it now being used by the Y. M. C A. and
there are reading and writing rooms,
a big ball room, theatre, a saloon (closed
now) and gambling rooms all in the same
building. : It is said that Harry K. Thaw
lost over a million dollars in this very
room in a single night, and here he spent
his honeymoon with the famous Evelyn
Nesbit Thaw; The place Is situated in
the very heart of the mountains, about
4,000 feet above sea level; there is about
eight inches of snow on the ground now,
and the scenery is just too wonderful to
behold. There are about 25 men and 16
girls here with this Y M C A and last
night we had a real dance with a ' jazz
band and real American 'vimins."
The famous Thermal Bath is also here,
and the bath house itself is a sight to
see; this whole place seems to be a mira
clea place where the idle rich of all
nations Used to gather to drink, gamble.
feast and flatter the beautiful women. I
never knew the army afforded any such
life as we are being treated to, and it is
really hard to believe that I'm a corporal
the way I'm being treated here, I rfee
more like a General or the like." I
