£OBB COUNTY Y. M.C. A,
SECRETARY GIVES GOOD
DESCRIPTION OF WORK
Beautiful Farms of France
Are Vividly Described
Mr. H. H. Green, Former Cobb Coun
ty Boy, Testifies to the Clean Lives
Our Boys Are Living, While Fight
ing Old Glory’s Battles
We publish below a most interest
ing letter from Mr. H. H. Green, who
isa Y. M. C. A, Secretary in France,
+o his kinsman, Mr. A. N. Mayes, of
Lost Mountain.
Mr. Green was in business in Car
tersville just prior to leaving for
France, but he was born and raised
4t Lost Mountain in Cobb County,
and his letter is of unusual interest
at this time:
Mr. A. N. Mayes,
Marietta, Ga., U. S. A.
Dear Newt: :
Your letter of August 22nd, re
ceived Oct. 11th and I can’t begin to
tell you how very much it was ap
-I)'z~eciated. Have had very few let
ters since I have been here. Receiv
ed my first one from Charley the
day yours came. We get no news
from the States, so you can guess a
Jetter is more welcome than ever be
fore.
The only trouble with letters is
Jack of detail. I've had two or three
mention some happening, as though
I knew about it. I haven’t seen an
American paper, let alone a home pa
per ,since leaving New York, August
15th. The papers don’t seem to get
here through the mails.
In my “L” work I have numbers
of magazines, some of them as late
2s a month back, but you know how
much news one can get out of a mag
azine. I have become reconciled to
the inevitable ,and don’t think about
it. I have a hazy memory of having
once lived back there at a place called
Cartersville. It all seems like a
dream. I have to pinch myslef some
times to realize that I am “some
where in France.” The night before
last I went to sleep to the “music of
cannon.” I could hear the shells
singing over our heads from our
batteries back of us.
We moved last night and I came
into headquarters for supplies. 1
tramped six miles through the rain
at night, along a strange road, by
myself, to a town I had never been
in before. I found a real bed. This
morning I walked to another town,
because the railroad bridge- had been
blown up; and got a train to this
place. I intended going back tonight,
but it is cold and raining, and I have
not fully recovered from the Spanish
Influenza, so I may wait another day.
The Spanish flu is epidemic and a
number of people are dying. The phy
sicians don’t know how to treat it
This is a wonderful country and
I wish I had time to tell you about
it. The people are not farmers, but
gardeners. Every farm lis better
kept and cultivated than the best gar
den you know of in Georgia. The
entire country looks like a big park.
Grant’s Park would look like “No
Man’s Land” by the side of it. There
isn’t a “gully” in France. Every foot
of space is taken care of. All the
ground that is cleared is producing.
Every foot that is not cultivated is
sodded in clover and grass, ~which
they cut for hay, when from four to
cix inches high. This is the case un
der all trees, even including fruit
trees. They grow fine wheat, oats,
rye, barley, etc. Irish potatoes in
¢reat quantity.
No corn is grown here. I saw
<ome in the south. They grow lots
of apples, pears, quinces, plums, and
berries. They also grow sugar beets
but there is no sugar here.
The finest gardens you can think
of. with beans, squash, beets, cab
bage, caulifiower, cucumber, lettuce,
tomatoes, and they are having plenty
of all of these now in this section.
Where I came from they have had
frost, but this is higher altitude and
they had no frost yet. M-—— should
be here to see the flowers. I’ve never
seen any, anywhere quite so lovely.
Dahlias, and in such rich colors, I've
never seen equaled. Every garden
has flowers, dahlias, chrysanthemums,
geraniums, roses, poppies, pinks, and
many kinds that I have never seen
before.
The French are very thrifty and
industrious. They love their beau
tiful country and stay here. You see
very few French in America, or any
where except right here at home.
No young men on the farms now,
of course, just the old men and the
women, but they are doing the work
by working all of the time. They
don’t stop for Sunday, and I suppose
it is all right, with the precious crops
—the life of France—to gather. One
can’t blame them. The farmers (peas
ants( live in small villages and cul
tivate the surrounding lands. The
houses are all built of stone, and are
covered with thin quarried stone,
ff;.:e and tile. Most of them have
been built for years and years. 1
s2w in a little village a few days ago
three houses in a row with the dates
cut in stone over the door. One was
1631, another 1747, and a right new
one built in 1815. A great many
veople have large houses, and keep
the horses, cows, sheep, plgs and
chickens in one end, and live in the
other end. They keep them clean,
Put in fresh straw every night, and
“ean up in the morning. This clean
U is carefully put on the “manure
Pie. They say here (the boys) that
they judge a man’s wealth and stand-
'ing in the community by the size of
the manure pile in front of his honse.
’ Anyway they take care of it and have,
as a result, wonderfully fertile lands.
- Now you must not get the idea
‘that because these people live in the
‘barn, or keep the stock in the house,
vhich ever you prefer, that their
homes are not nice and clean. They
are wonderful housekeepers, with the
cleanest floors and walls, and the
snowiest curtains at the windows you
ever saw. Bedsteads, wardrobes,
and chests of fine carved woods. They
have books and papers on the walls,
many nice pictures, copies of famous
paintings, and everything about the
house is arranged with perfect taste.
I have been “billetted” with Fren
ch families and they have treated me
as nice as they knew how, and that
is saying a lot because it is instinc
tive with the French to be polite.
I get my meals at the officers mess,
but these pleople would insist of a
morning that I have a bowl of hot
milk, off the stove, with a tiny bit of
sugar and loaf bread. (It's good, try
it.) Or a cup of coffee with bread
and preserves. They will not ac
cept any pay for the room or what I
eat. At night before going to bed
they very often ask me to join them
in a pie and some wine. They all
drink wine which is usually light, or
without “kick.” It is a part of the
regular meal.
World’s of grapes are grown, and,
of course, lots of wine is made. The
vines are hanging with grapes now.
They don’t have any trouble with
them rotting, like you do back there
in the States. I wmust tell you they
have roads of stone which are as near
perfect as can be built. Alorne +-
way each side of the roads are rows
of fine trees, with the branches lap
ping over the road. A Frenchman,
as well as an Englishman, has a great
love for trees. The woods are so
thick you can hardly get through
them, but not a twig is allowed to
waste. Everything is saved for fuel.
No one here ever heard of ‘“burning
a brush heap.”
Fuel is very precious here now.
No coal for fuel purposes to be had
for any price. They have just ¢nough
wood for cooking. It is cold and
raining, but I haven’t seen a fire. 1
am anxious to get into the dugouts
about next—because they are warm.
Please don’t judge the officers and
men over here by the stories of the
cantonments back there. I can hon
estly say that I doubt if the people
back there on an average are living
as clean lives as the soldiers are here,
and that means both officers and men.
I know whereof I speak. They may
drink a little of this wine, but every
body does, and they don’t get drunk.
Some of them may swear but no more
than back there. This gang is over
here for business, and they are going
after it in a determined, business
like manner. The temptations are
many in a great city like Paris, as
well as New York, but away out
here nothing but work. The officers
and men in the regiment to which I
am attached are from the northwest
and are as fine a bunch of fellows as
I ever saw. They treat me nice and
do anything I want done. Of course
it is my business to do all that I can
for them, and I find there are many
things I can do. lam on the job by
my lone self as far as the Y. M. C. A.
goes. I expected to be a part of a
local organization, but instead, I am
a part of a very inadequate divi
sional organization. Ido my best to
supply the men with paper and en
velopes. I've had no paper for a
week nor envelopes for two weeks;
I can’t get them . No other source of
supply. They want to write letters
home and it looks hard that they
can’t. When I can get them I have
for the men cigars, cigarettes, tobac
co, gum, shaving soap, razor blades,
matches, cookies, candy, etc. How
we all do want candy, and its the
hardest thing of all to get. Lack of
transportation is the main reason we
can’t get these things. When I have
them I sell for a little more than
half the price back there. This, of
crurse, is by government arrange
iment, and the people back there by
‘their contributions pay the expense
of handling and getting the things
here. While lam writing 1 would
like to nail another popular lie that
was current back there before I left.
That is that the soldiers over here
are living high on the fat of the land,
and wasting quantities of good food.
All wrong. I haven’t seen a piece of
white bread since I left the ship at
Liverpool. It’s dark and so scarce
that we have gone for three days at
a time on “hard tack.” Sometimes
we have sugar for the cuffee, when
we happen to have coffee. Sometimes
we have beef or pork, but more often
we have canned meats. We have
sirup sometimes, but butter is 2
dream. If it wasn’t for the French
vegetables I don’t know what we
would do. With all of this, these
fine soldier boys, who have always
had anything they wanted, never com
plain at all. I can sum it all up in
what one fellow said to me. He said
«I never knew until I got over here
what a great country 1 had back at
home to fight for. If it was to do
over I would enlist and not wait to
be drafted. I think it a privilege to
ficht, and die, if necessary, for the
’zfeat land we call home back be
| yond the seas.” .
| That fellow wasn’t posing either,
{he was just illustrating the great
{ American spirit. It is the general
| opinion here that the war will soon
lend. All hope for peace, but not
| yithout victory. I am enclosing
| some photos I had made recently.
| They were made for curiosities more
| than anything else. In one I wear a
]gas mask and steel helmet, which are
‘my inseperable companions at pres
| ent. Write me again and tell me
i news and happenings.
