IMPRESSIVE LETTER FROM
CORDOVA BOY IT FRONT
Jack Courtney, who is with Co. E, I
117th regiment. United States eng:-;
neers, “somewhere in France,” in
writing to Archie Fields says:
"Angus Halliday was made a ser
geant about three days ago, so you
see we have been ‘hitting the ball’
pretty steadily. The beauty of it is
we were both made sergeants under
shell fire.
“I would like to have some of you
boys over here in ‘No-Man’s Land’ to
see the fireworks. Tons of steel are
beingg sent into Germany, singing
‘Home, Sweet Home’
“I would like to be in Cordova and
give those labor trouble makers a
piece of my mind. How would they
like to be over here, doing twice as'
much work for very little money, like
we are doing?
‘‘I received a slight wound below'
the left eye from a piece of hand
grenade, but it only bled a little. 1
would like to have you see the Ger
man who threw that grenade! Angus
and 1 are in the best of health and
want to be remembered to all of our
Cordova friends.”

STEPS TAKEN
PARIS, May 3 (hv mail).—Steps
have been taken by France to con-i
serve and repair historic monuments
in the war zone.
“The historic monuments committee
has had a double task to perform,”
says a report, of the budget committee
to the chamber of deputies. Its first
task has been the removal of pictures,
statues, stained glass and wood carv
ings; its second has been the pro
tection, so far as possible, of what
| could not be removed.
"Thousands of works of art have
thus been saved from destruction,
such as the statues and stained glass
windows of the church of Thann, the
mausoleum of Rene do Chalons, Tugier
Richier’s famous skeleton now at Bar
le-Duc, the windows of the churches
of Chalons, Pont-a-Mousson, and Kper
nay and all the art treasurers of
Rheims.
“Whatever could not he removed,
whether within churches or standing
in the open, has heen protected hy
means of framework filled with hags
of earth In this way the famous
I Place Stanislas at Nancy, the facade
of the Aluseo Porrain and the tomhs
| of the Cordeliers (Grey Friars) have
been rendered practically proof
against shell and bomb fire.
“The cathedral of Amiens has re
ceived special attention and has an
independent fire brigade attached to
it. with a water sufficiently strong
to reach the spire. So far repairs
to historic monuments have con
sisted in rendering the churches
weatherproof, but architects are al
ready preparing definite plans and es
timates with a view to permanent
restoration.
“In regard to the ruins which the
Germans have left in their wake the
authorities have already decided not
to give over to total destruction cer
tain relics, but to leave them for
future generations as eloquent wit
nesses of the war. Side hy side with
monumental ruins such as Ablain
Saint-Nazaire, Perthes, Massiges, Sou
ain, which tell of the diasters of in
vasion. there are other mementoes
which will be of the greatest interest
and value hereafter as instances and
object lessons of the character and
methods of war, such as the more
important field works, hut the legal
