The letter, whicn the Nassau Post is able to print here throuj^h ll.ie cour¬ tesy of his family, is one of the most cheerful and inl«!re8ting of the .sol¬ diers' letters which we have ever read. The address of Mr. Wilson is as follows, and he would bj K^ad to hear from his 'hosts of friends:

As much as I have seen of France I like very well. The only thing I don't like is that I can't speak the language, but I hope to be able to soon.

We have a lot of fun trying to get what we want in the store.s. The keepers can't .spoak any English and most of us can't speak French, so there you are. The money is just about as hard to handle. It looks like U. S. cijirar tickets. btix in most stores looks just like the box 1 had to keep cigarette cou¬ pons in. We get a good exchange for oUr U. S. money. We get five francs 60 centimes for $1, but this kind of money doesn't last very long. I still have plenty, though, and I am going to hold on it.   We get fine fig's, dates,

This is a very pretty town we are in. Everything is so different from the U. S.. The houses are all built in rows, and the streets are very nar¬ row and poor. Things are somewhat Americanized for the ibenefit of the '•oldiers, I guess. You see plenty of Flivers and Dodges and some real Bouthem  niggers.

The Surgeon General of the United States Army calls attention to the following regulations in reference to tihe enrollment of registrants, under the Selective Draft Law, in the Nav¬ al  Reserve Force.
Considerable uncertainty lappears to exist as to the status of the en^- rollment of registrant* under the Se¬ lective Draft Law, in the Naval Re¬ serve Force, since December 15, 1917. The (following is quoted from the Se¬ lective Service Regulations operative from   that date:
"(c) Any registrant at any time, regardless of classiiication and order num'ber, may become commissioned in therafter, on presentation by the the Army, Navy, or Marine Corps and registrant to his Local Board of a Certificate of his Commanding Of- ifioer, stating that he has been so commissioned, such certificate shall be filed with the Questionaire, and the'registrant shall be placed in Class V, on the ground that he is in the military or naval service of the Uni't- ed   States."
Reg'istrants can present themselves for examination and accept commis¬ sions in the Navy regardless of their classification and order number. The Navy is urgently in need of men, and candidates found qualified will be as¬ signed to immediate, active duty, if so  desired.
Candidates found qualified and serving as internes will be, as far as practicable, left unassigned, until in¬ ternship is completed.
The Medical Examining Board is in session at the United States Navy Hospital, New York City, N. Y.

What do the stars on a service flag represent? This was tJie query put j up to the Freeport Village board last 'Inursday aflernoon by citizens, representing a committee of volunteer citizens who are soliciting dollar dona¬ tions from the villagers with which to form a fund for the purchase of a vil¬ lage sefvice flag, bui how many, will be determined by the olTicial answer to the query propounded.
Village 1 rustee John II. Mahnken suggested that there should be a star for oach enlisted or drafted man from the village serving in the army or navy. V iiiage Tru.stee Henry L. Max¬ son Agreed with him. Tru.stee Silas A. Williams thought that the stars s.hould be )>lace(i on the flag for those doing service in foreign territory. The question of the "status of the Coast Guard was raised. Trustee Maxson thought they were not intend¬ ed to be included, but A. B. Wallace c:illed attention to the fact that they are working under naval orders. Pres¬ ident Sidney H. Swezey thought that included in the list should be the mem¬ bers of the New York State Guard, who are out on actual active duty. It is estimated that exclusive of those in the SKtte Guard Fre-eport has be¬ tween 225 and 250 of its "favored sons" fighting for our country.
After considerable discussion it was admitted that no one knew of any au¬ thority as to who are entitled to b* represented on the service flag. I* was generally considered that the Vil¬ lage Board should be the responsible custodian of the flag, both now and subsequent to the war, and they, through a oommittee of public-spirit¬ ed citizens, will arrange for a proper puiblic celebration at t^e time the nag 18 raised.
Discussion as to an Available site for the erection of the flag or banner was had, and it seemed to be the sen¬ timent that the plot west of the Long Island Railroad station, and north of tihe First National Bank was the best that cou'Id be selected.
It was also suggested that tihe Vil¬ lage Office is the proper place in the village for the names of all men to be filed, wiho are entitled to be repre¬ sented by a star on the service flag. It was suggested that the newspapers, flubs, citizens, churches, schools, fra¬ ternal organizations and any others be, invited to 'file with the Village Clerk the name of every person en¬ listing or drafted, who is now in ser¬ vice, or whoever mav subsequently be drafted or enlist. Thus there will al¬ ways be a place of pernnanent regis¬ try, which in later years may become a most valuble public record. Per¬ sons sending such names to Villagw Clerk Sylvester P. Shea are also re¬ ouested to state what organization the local man is serving, and mailing address, if known.
Permission was granted S. Bau¬ mann, the well known furniture house on South Main street, to erect a street display sign, subject to the approval of the  Street  Commissioner.
Edward Rice offered to sell certain supplies to the village for $165; re¬ ferred to committee with power.
INDICTED  FOR RIOTING
Grand Jury  Condemns  Resistence to State Troopers at Hicksville.
On Wednei*day the Grand Jury ihanded up several indictments to Su¬ preme Court Justice Leander B. Pa- ber. On Saturday a number of the men indicted were arraigned for pleading hefore County Judge Smith. Among them were seven men who are accused of rioang at Hicksville on the night of Ueccm'ber 24, when two members of the State Constabul¬ ary entered inbo a controversy with William Duffy regarding the lights on Duffy's automobile. I>r. Elwood A. Curtis, a brother of Osborne t^urtis, one of the men charged with rioting, was also arraigned charged with pub¬ lishing an alleged libelous article re¬ garding one of the State Troopers. All of the men, including Dr. Curtis, pkadel not guilty and were released on   ?500 bail   each.
Edward Taylor, of Rockville Cen-. irc, was inrlic'.od for assault in the second degree. Taylor is ch.trged with .•stabbing a soldier named Wright, at Rockville Centre on December 22. He pleaded not guilty and was released on $1000 luail.
William West, of Hempst^^ad, who ¦was charged -with stabbing a member of tho Military Police at Ifsmpstcad last October, pleaded guilty to assault and   received   a   suspended   sentence.

The bridge was completed during the last year of the term of offke of Robert Brower as Town Superintend¬ ent of Highways and cost in the vi¬ cinity of $2500. The bridge was a substantial structure, but the ele¬ ments broke it down.

MOSQUITOES TO GET PERSONAL^MENTION
Nassaa  Commissioner Anxious to
Tell of Their Many Vicious
Traits and Habits.
The maxim, "'In time of peace pre¬ pare for war" is as applicable to the war on the mosquito as it is to more sanguinary conflicts. The Nassau County M«squito Extermination Com¬ mission, as a prelimilary measure to its 1918 campaign, is ready to ar¬ range an illusitrated talk on anti-mos¬ quito work with 'anyone initerested in the movement. The lectures will be given by William V. Becker, Chief Engineer of the Commission, and will cover the progress of mosquito exter¬ mination in ¦various section's of the country, the methods used, what has already been accomplished in Nassau County and what may be looked for in the future. Address the Commis¬ sion at 39 Railroad avenue, Freeport.
In connection with these lectures the Commission has published a bulle¬ tin on mosquitoes for the information of the people of the county.
It inqicates the heavy financial and economic loss throughout the United States that is caused by mosquitoes and shows how the development of Nassau County is retarded by the same causes. The annual expendi¬ tures needed to eradicate the mosqui¬ to are small and are returned many times over by increases in health, property values and general prosperi¬ ty.
The development of the mosquito through its early stages in standing or sluggish water, either fresh or salt, clean or foul, is explained. The malar¬ ia-carrying mosquito, the common ihouse-mosquito, and other prevailing types found in Nassau County are described and  illustrated.

RAISE SERVICE FLAG IN H. E. CHURCH
Thirty-two Methodists of Freeper
in Service of Uncle Sam
and Country.
Last Sunday a very interesting pa¬ triotic service was heid in the M. E. Church, giving recognition to thirty- two membors of the cnurch and con¬ gregation who huve been called to .he colors—cither in the army or navy.
1 he pastor. Rev. S. 0. Curtice, gav* a brief patriotic address as the cnurch Hag was unfolded, showing that the true church is always truiy patriotic and  loyal to the  country.
A goodly number of old veterans, from the G. A. Tost, were in atten¬ dance and Were given seats of honor in front. The color sergeant then un¬ folded the st.arry flag and put it in its plac<j. This flag was some tinvs ago presented by tlic Post to the c;iurcii, as its annual I)e:oration Day .services are usually held in this church.
Next, the service flag, with a star for each of the thirty-two who have gone to the War, was unfolded before the altar, where it will remain during the war. It was expected that Capt. Burgess Osterhout would be present and deliver an address, but he could not attend. William G. Miller, presi¬ dent of the Board of Trustees, de¬ livered a brief patriotic address well fitted to the ocasion.
An address was delivered by Har¬ old W. Smith, one of those who have joined the navy. This young man's speech was very interesting and in- stimctive. He gave important facts in reference to the work to be done by the navy, and showed the great neces¬ sity that now exists for trained men in the naval and marine service, men able to command a vessel. For thia purpose the Navy Department is es¬ tablishing training schools for offi¬ cers, hoping to have enough ready t* man ship^ as fast as they are built. Mr. Smith's address was heartily ap¬ plauded.
STAR for'ALL MEN IN FEDERAL SERVICE
Committee Gets  OHicial Statement from Ellison at Washington.
In accordance with instructions, u«- officially, from the Village Board, the Committee on Service Flag wrote ta the War Department for informacion as to the stars on service flags. Be¬ lieving the answer would necessarily be slow in arriving and having confi¬ dence we could get as accurate an answer by so doing, another similar letter was sent to J. Huyler Ellison, secretary to our Congressman  Hicka.
Mr. Ellison replied at once, as fol¬ lows :
Mr.   Smith F.  Pearsall, Freeport, L.   I.
My Dear Smith: Replying to yours of January 18, permit me to stato that the Service Flag is in no way ofllicial. It has become the custom, however, to add stars for eaoh one in the Federal Service only. I under¬ stand that there will be a bill present¬ ed to make the Service Flag oflRcial. Members of the Coast Guard are now under the Navy Department's super¬ vision, and would be considered in the Federal Service. State Guard and Home Defense would not. Very truly yours,
HinriJBii.
This would seem to include a num¬ ber of memibers of the New York Guard in active service, they foeinr under Federal supervision, but would not include members not in activa uniformed servi'Ce.
