His grave is where he fell, about three hundred yard’s east of the railway station of Mezy, France.

Brandon, representing a group of patriotic Stilesboro .farmers, I left 110.00 with the Director of Wom ' ans work, “to be used in any way to help in the good work.” A beautiful piece-quilt has been do nated for hospital department by Mrs. Branton and Mrs. Bill Smith.

Our fine Marines, who have done such splendid fighting at the front, have filled the hospitals here, and I was so glad to go among them Fri day and do something for them. But, heavens! the American hospitals are like Paradise compared to the French. Our men are beautifully cared for. Piles of Red Cross boxes containing night shirts and pajamas and sheets were being opened, and every man had a nice shirt or pajamas or robe. Well, I’ve no patience with any complaint about our soldier over here . They certainly have the most perfect care. Neuilly hospitals was swarming with women like us Friday, bringing all sorts of things to the men. Two wom en had a huge freezer of ice cream. Where they got it is beyond wonder, as no ice cream is permitted among the French. There is an old colored woman em ployed as a cook at one of the Eastern country clubs who has devised a uni que scheme of raising money for the Red Cross. She cuts the “pretty girl” pictures off the covers Qf old maga zines, pastes them over elliptical piec es of stiff card-board, attaches a han dle made out of the wood of a cigar box, and sells the fans thus produced for five cents each. This colored woman is over seventy years old but ’she wants to do all that she can for her country, and has in vented er own way to do it. She sells all the fans she can make and turns the money over the the Red Cross chapter of her town. mrs.
