WESPAY, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 18 Reconstruction of Alton, may be Important that wo jjocon struct the nation, but, along the same line as It IB most necessary to us to get the proper officers for our muni clpallty Is It true that we must plsu for reconstruction at homo Recent! spoko much of making Alton better place to live, with bette houses, better schools, better church of the public Institution working for welfare of the people This must not be lost sight of lie sentiment can hrlng about man: reforms In the reconstruction porloi and we will look back with horror up on, what we were once contended tr endure In the way of Inefficient serv where It affects our living. Tho Condition at French Camps. Criticism is being hurled at the per lions responsible for the maintenance of horrible conditions in the camps In France, where American soldiers ore kept prior to debarkation to home.

Congress IB being told ol the iiituation. It may seem that this is no concern of ours, yet we may con tilder that our homo boys are there in those camps and that we may be that letters which they are to home folks, yet which home folks do not care to give publicity be cause the boys are still In the service oorroborate In every detail the charges that are being made. Letters private" soldiers have been "writing home from some of those camps whet-e they are detained for a long time, tell of conditions that are incredible when we consider the facilities which might bo availed vto naake the conditions better. It is especially hard on the soldiers who are obliged to stay in some of these camps a long time. The troops who have to stay a matter of a few days or a few -weeks arejiot in such a bad way as those who are on duty there and must remain for a loug time, I only at Brest, but at other catnips where the men are sent that these conditions are complained of One critic says the camp at Brest Is not flt for keeping live stock In How much less are these camps fll Tor keeping our soldier boys in.

The llbldiers are almost sure to suffer iierlously in health from their ex jjosure and their experiences in these ''uamps. 'We took groat eare to make 'them strong and healthy and get them to meet the enemy, but now wo are bringing them back home are permitting them to suffer hard ihlps and exposures which we wouli 'not subject our cattle or our hogs to There is no doubt of the truth of the Charges, as the Telegraph hus learn of, sent homo by reliable men from Alton, who tell their families of conditions, but tho young would probably be punished 1 (heir letters were given pubillcity.

Many others found matrl inoninl bonds Irksome. Then there were many who had not tho opportunity of marrying because there was large number of young men who, for reasons of their own, gave no wonuu a chance to become a wife and mother. Certain seems that tho numbei of delayed marriages, or tho number Of' people not married at nil, has in- Perhaps It Is the high cost ot living with the attendant dlfllcul ties of supporting wife and children that has deterred many a well meaning man with domestic instincts from laying the foundation of a homo.
