6 HARRISBURGER THINKS I PARIS GREAT CITY Continued From First rage beautiful old chateaux and wonder- I fui scenery, a German prison camp, factories, etc., until we came to Bor- | deaux, which is about a five-hour trip up the Garonne. Grout Sight "After having 1 our baggage inspect- I ed and fixing things up on the boat | we landed in Bordeaux and were taken in busses to the railroad sta- j tion. It certainly was a sight to see i that crowd of fellows inside, on top. j on behind and every place, yelling and waving an American flag going through the streets. I suppose the French people thought we were crazy, but they al! waved to us and seemed glad to see us. At the sta- | tion I sent a cablegram to you. which I hope you got. We were all j grivon a light lunch also at the sta tion. While we were waiting for 1 our train a whole trainload of j French soldiers just from the front get off and we talked to them for \ awhile. They told us all about how ; they killed Boches and made charges, i etc. It was blood-curdling, but very interesting. At 10.30 we left Bor-' deaux for Paris. "We were put into third-class cars j which open on the side, and were I pulled by a funny dinky little engine. I There were seven of us in a com- j partment and we sat up all night as, there were no beds and no room to] lie down. It was bright moonlight! and we looked at the country, which ! is very beautiful and picturesque. We j landen : n Paris about 9 o'clock in; the morning and were taken in taxi- ! cabs to *1 Rue Ravnouard. The place is a Wige old house with im- ; mense grounds, given by the Comp-! tesse of Villatreuse for the use of the American Ambulance. It was built about 17-10, and is where Renj i Franklin stayed when he was in j Paris. Of course, the place is run | down now. but it was once beautiful j and has all kinds of huge, massive' stone cellars, eardens. terrace, a lit- | tie woods with huge shady treps. i springs, etc. They have built bar- j racks and things for us to sleep in | all over the grounds and now I am comfortably fixed in one with about forty other fellows. See Paris "We arrived Tuesday morning and since then Hen and I. along with Walter Hall, a young professor from Princeton, and some other fellows, have been seeing Paris. I forgot to say that we are in Passv. a very fashionable suburb of Paris, right,, along the Seine river and near the Eiffel Tower. "The only signs of war you see: are the numerous soldiers of every I description on the streets, the signs of mourning and, of course, military | trucks, etc. Aeroplanes are hum-1 ming over Paris all the time, the! Paris guard. But everything seems| plentiful and all the places seem to ' be going just the same as if it were | peacetime. Of course, at night all, the streets are darkened for fear' o:' j raids. "There have been so many fellows j coming over for ambulance work that they have to put some to driv- j ing ammunition trucks, caissons they | ( call it, at the front. Fortunately Ii got into the ambulance service, as they use all the bigger meti fo- the ; former. We will be sent somewhere near the front far a period of train ing before we go into active serv ice. 1 suppose that will be next week sometime. Visits Historical Buildings "Henry and I have been going around seeing the sights of Paris and bv this time I can find my way around pretty well. Paris certainly j is a beautiful city. We went to see i the Louvre, which is a huge old j building, built and added to by any; number of kings. Standing at the Louvre you look past the Tuilleries, i i. e., the palace of Louis XVI. I through the Caroussel Arch built by | Napoleon, a triumphal arch, on through to Place de la Concorde, where a huge obelisk is situated: i Cleopatra's Needle, It is called. Stretching out beyond is the Chamfis Elysees. a beautiful broad avenue lined with parks and trees. This j leads up to the huge triumphal arch of Napoleon, situated at Etoile, call- ! ed so because a bunch of streets i meet there. If you stand at the Place de le Concorde you see all this. Turning half way around you see at one end the beautiful old Greek temple effect Church of the Made-, leine. Looking the other way yo'i see the Chamber of Deputies across the Pont Neuf. We also saw Notre Dame, the Invalides, tomb of Na poleon. the Eiffel tower and a whole swarm of other famous places. Be-; sides that, we've traveled all over the city, seeing the different parts of it.' The Rue de Rivoli, where all the little shops are; Koubourgr St. Ger-j man. the business section; some j beautiful residence sections; the Isle de la Cite, the original place where Paris was started, and numerous other places. Buffalo Nickels Valuable Henry and I knew a boy from Princeton who lives over here and he invited us to a fair at St. Sulpice, where we met Miss Sharp, the Am bassador's daughter, and some very nice French girls who are of the most exclusive society in Paris, but as their English was as bad as my j French a conversation wasn't too potent. But they were tickled to death at a Buffalo nickel I gave one as a souvenir. In fact all Paris is crazy to get one. Give one to arv body and you can get almost any thing. I have only two left, doggone it. "Last night Raymond Harper In vited us to his house to dinner and we had a very, nice time. I met his sister and mother, who are charm ing. "The Paris subways have New York's beat a mile. They are clean, j comfortable and the air is good. Thev j run often and everywhere: there AT* three classes; the first costs a nickel and you can go anywhere in Paris) for it. Fine, comfortable leather | seats in clean, white and really hand some cars. "Americans seem to be well liked and are popular in Paris. I guess France is expecting great things from V. S. It certainly does look won derful to see all the French. Eng lish. Italians and all the allied uni forms parading up and down the streets, etc. The whole thing is nn experience which I never will foreet and am sorrv you cannot see for yourselves. Write oftn and give me all the news. Lots of love to all. "FRANKLIN." Even Daschunds Change Their German "Handles" ChicnKo.
