LETTERS FROM . H. F. GREAVES Sept., 2, 1919. Editor Star and Wave: Just got your letter of August 12, sent to Tours, the 8.0.8. is now at ‘Paris so I received it here, Later on I will write you something of my im- : pressions of this city but just now everything is so upset that I cannot collect myself for serious thought Our offices are now locater on the Cee C P d on the side. We are just above ‘the Isle de Cite on which the Notre

direction we can see the tall graceful monument surmounted by a figure of Mercury, or some other swift god, for he has wings. The monument Js aituated in the center of the Place de In Bastile but there is no part of that notorious prison to be seqn except a few semi-cireular rows of stone foun« | dations now forming a part of the streets and walls of other buildings, the rest of the building material may be seen, so they say, in some of the many bridges crossing the Seine, but many bridges crossing the Secine but never having been introduced to sald material 1 could not point it out to if you were here. 1 may find some oldest inhabitant or other queer hird with a grand education or wonderful imagination some day to point it out, On the Seime‘s tranquil bosoni(hows

Many of the worth while museums and places such as Eifel Tour, were not available for the curious during the war places and the out of way nooks are times but are now open to all. Those places and the out of way nooks are to be my objectives for the next few weeks. Sincerely yours HARRY September 3, 1919 Editor of Stur and Wave: Well l have located myself in a four by seven hall room at the price for a suite and am glad I found myself so good for the H. C. L., here extends to room rent and there are few rooms to be had at that . Paris is normally a city of about two millions but now there are easily three or three and a half millions} crowding . an | already — overcrowded | metropolis. | At that it is mild com» pared | with some times during the period of the war when there were six millions here. I am located within a stones throw distance of the Louvre Palace, the Tuillerices Garden, five minutes walk from the Grand Opers and the Grand Boulevard and five minutes from the Place de in Concorde. Last evening I started for a stroll after dinner. Leaving the Louvre behind me I turned to the Concorde. On my left was the Tuilleries on my right the three squares of jewelry and trinket shops, Bijoutrries, that help to make the Rue de Rivoli a famous promenade. Here the upper atories of the build ings are built over the sidewalks so nat one may stroll along on the wettest day well protected ms he stare into the windows at the latest trinkets concieved by the jewelers. Here 1 passed the great hotel Musrice and others not so well known and the Rue Royale. From the comer 1 saw the great bronze shaft in the center of place Vendome. That mass that once formed Russian cannon until the little Corporal got the souvenir fever. Turning from there I proceeded along the Rue Rivoli to the Crillon Hotel, once President Wilson‘s headquarters and still the home of the American members of the Peace Commission. As I stood there a wave of memories came back, for the Crillon was taken over by the Americans, the headquarters for the Allied aviators and I have spent many pleasant evenings. with French, British and American pilots many or whom have gone to another headquarters. In front is the Concorde where once the guillotine made such a bloody history but where now a myriad of lights sparkle like the clear heaven with stars. In the center is the sister of the Cleopatras needle now in New York, and surrounding it the many statues resenting the Poops" cities of "the Wepublic, and I noted that Strasburg is no longer draped in mourning but after 45 years stands free as her siston Lille too draped during. the war in free of mourning. e ho use, wee friend XL Ive got to resort to the primitive. method of pressing ideasiboth the typewriters c wrecks, they must have pitched them into a heap to cart them up here. It was here too. that a French and his observer. while defending: Parix| from an air raid on the memorable night of March 80, crashed while tryto effect a danding on the Champ | a dead moto Here too was sembled the great-| eat mass of people on July 14th. during the great or Parade. At that | time hundreds of — Germap . cannon were standing grimly in sflent tribute‘ to the Allied arms. Not only were those grim dogs of war assembled here but they extended all along the line of march from the | Afch of Triumph lining both sides of that fat Pouo raid ano in places heaped i Nel in py | | ramidi at the "berining of the Garden Tuilleries and looked along the beautiful vista toward the Arch de ‘| Triumph just as the evening feel. The lights shone for miles straight awny i . A purple and blue magnified | the Arch | and above . the shy away blood red. The ar ‘\ Victory throughout the world but as I gazed I wondered whether that benutiful tableau represented Victory gnined by the blood of the millions who shed it for the great cause, or did It ® | portend . the ene, of — blood of millions more before Victory for the right would be gained for all time. As 1 look thru the journals ench day and count 26 actual armed conflicts being waged on the face of poor old

nother earth, that it means the latter | ind I hope I am not a pessimist either Certainly the fact remain- thnt weoples who have n. inst eause fave! ot yet won it, neither have they had t griven. them free of their own ef ort. | Continuing along the Champ I pas d the Famous Cafe and Theatre des mbassudeurs and the Alcazar nesting among the trees on the right. ‘nless one knows where to look for hem he might well pass them and ot know they were there. At that point just where the boulevard leaves he Concorde it is more like a jark ith the broad street running straight ru. Trees and walks on either side ake a delightful park where one rolls during the afternoon and evening or sits on one of the benches laced on the sides of the twisting gravel walks, | On the left Ledoyen‘s restaurant ounded in 1792 if you believe in igns, is blazing forth in a glory of ight. One can get a good dinner herefor 100 frances per cover, so I take their word for it or a few more squares enjoying the lights and the big cars skooting past n the — amooth wooden paved bouleounting my steps, | They were 32 good long ones so 1 know the Champ x 100 feet wide.

It eserves the name I‘ll venture to say even tho I‘ve never yet seen the orlRetracing Loa y steps I returned to ie Garden Tuilleries and to the music park where a very fine orchestra of some 40 odd musicians from the Opera from the same theatre give an open And then I wended my way back rosn the Rue de Rivoli contentedly room to dream . of toSincerely H. F GREAVES September 5, 1919 Editor of Star and Wave: Yeaterday afternoon 1 wandered into the Hotel des Invalides, the home founded by Napoleon for his decrepit soldiers. There is a great collection of war trophies including those of the war just past. The great Eimperor‘s tomb is the most interesting thing to see there. The huge piece of red stone sits in a circular pit in the chapel which is really a building apart from the hotel. The beautiful stained glass windows make a soft light that adds to the dignity of that smered spot. ‘The tiled floor is a wreath surrounding the tomb and all about stand the figures of angels or whatever they are and the flags of Austerlitz, (By the way it‘s hard to keep ancient history straight. I said the other day that the bronze shaft in Verdone was made of Russign | cannon. . An erro r of course, They were Austerlitz guns. The names of the battles surround: ing the tomb are all victories. Waterloo doesn‘t appear, From the Invadides I went to the Troceradero built during the Exposition ah were the Eleysee Palace and Petit Palace The Troe is a beautiful building. Probably one of the most graceful in the City and from | its highest point a beautiful view can be had of Paris. Next I ran down to the Pantheon the Temple where many great bones vest tranquil despite the . troubled times. It‘s a sort of Westminister Abbey of France and u nuugnificont monument to architectural prowess. On the way back 1 circled the Are de Triumph where the keeper pointed out the fact that cannon placed in the cirele around it could command the entire City. Also he told me the Arch is the lurgest in the world which tikes in some territory. I understandnow they called the pluce there the Eloile (star). During my two hours of noon "hour" 1 wandered over the Seine with my | Kodak ‘to the Jardin de Plantes, It is very near headquartand before the war had a very fine collection of animals, birds. and et., in the zoo, but now many empty cages fying that the 11. C. is. felt even in menugeries | How cages contains many. good specimens, I might «i es Several rare: wild horses look: well ed and slook too but their grass grow in war times as well as in more perc ful years. They have one huge giraffe that‘s certainly high. minded. . He: doesn‘t deign to notice unything below the second story, but his expression is one of a perpetun} grouch, Their hippo dug deep into his tunk and the only part of him exposed to the heat and public was his hen from his funny little cars to his nos\trils. I didn‘t take his picture. 1 secured a very good example o Russian praying for rllef at the Poln

r pit where the two be weeured and candies by »ittiog up man eir fore puwe ving more: serious but it ds will he back in its old time form within a period of months, All the burge men and cunal boat workers were on a strike this we photos, of the vehicles of the Seine as they lay idle in rows there. Speaking of strikes the taxi cab drivers, always the most abominable specimens of all Europe have been much worse for a week by striking. They with a few exceptions quit everyday between 11:45 and 1 o‘clock and nothing would move them. . Yesterday they declared a truce with the Perfect of Police until their grievances could be arbitrated All the Apaches and violently insane seem to have mequired . taxi driver jobs for they are the most villimnous set of males in this gay village. ‘The wonderful Metropolitan system the subway, helps, however, for one can go to any section underground quickly and cheaply. I am on the sailing list for September 10th and I guess this time Ill e to bid farewell to France, 1 see by to-days papers that we are permitting our officers to return home in the steerage. Quite a novel experi~ ence and one 1 shall probably have. It seems rather odd to say the least that our government should do what to other government would think of doing. Sending home members of the A. E. F. in the same quarters given prisoners and the scum of the earth. Well I‘ll have another odd adventure to add to my list that‘s all, only I don‘t know of what use such exper» bivnndinbiadindiindLAmbinttedbatiind unless it makes me sympathize with the Poll o un 1 still have the Louvre Museum, Vernailles and Eifel Tower to visit and then I shall be content, Sincerely yours Greaves bopennttesttccnpmmmed UNCLAIMED LETTERS List of unclaimed letters remaining in Cape May, P.
