MacDowell, has been secured by the University music council to give a public concert at the natural science auditorium Wednesday evening, March 26. In order to give the best interpretation of her husband's compositions, Mrs. MacDowell presents her program in the form of a lecture-recital. She has been touring the United states for several years illustrating the works of America's great composer. As it was the hope of Edward MacDowell to assist American artists in being surrounded by a quiet environment in which they might more fully carry out their creative work, whether music, painting, or sculpture, Mrs. MacDowell has increased her farm near Petersborough, N. H., to 200 acres, where she is carrying out her husband's plans. In this colony, artists spend their days alone in the woods carrying their lunch with them and meeting at Lower House for dinner in the evening. Mrs. MacDowell has charge of this colony and has become an expert farmer, dairy-woman, house buildner, landscape gardner and road-maker. Mrs. MacDowell's concerts are said to be very interesting because of her explanation and interpretation of her husband's works which deal largely with nature. Soldier's Letters St. Joire, France Dec. 29, 1918. Prof. W. J. Teeters Iowa City, Iowa. Dear Dean-- Landed in Liverpool, England Aug. 31, going from there to South Hampton. Crossed the English Channel to Le Havre, France. The first really interesting place I was in was Semur. Semur is a very neat town with a population of about two thousand. the town is surrounded by a massive stone wall in which are towers often badly cracked where the French revolutionists tried to blow them up. I also went through a large cathedral built in the thirteenth century. Belfort is a very strongly fortified city with a population of fifty thousand. I saw some keen air battles there, also the famous Belfort [Advertisement] University Book Store On The Corner Text Books and Supplies Waterman, Conklin and Schaeffer Fountain Pens University Book Store Lion facing Germany cut in the side of a hill by the same sculptor who made the statue of liberty. While I was at Chavrain Sur Lang, the Germans put over a heavy barrage answered by the French. Don't know how many men the Germans lost but American casualties were slight. The Germans caught a few prisoners. including several officers from our division. When the armistice was signed I was in the Toul sector of the St. Mihiel front. It caused very little excitement and we can hardly realize yet that it is all over. I was sent here four weeks ago to the divisional medical school. St. Joire is a small, dirty, town completely surrounded by mountains. So far it as been quite warm here. Though it rained here all Christmas the mountains are covered with snow. Medical supplies here are good. Nearly everything is in dry form. Our tincture of iodine is made by breaking a tube of iodine and potassium in alcohol. When we have no alcohol we use water. No chances are taken with wounded men and often antitoxin is given immediately. Few of the smaller French towns have doctors so we take care of the civilians also. We figure on about ten per cent of the men answering sick call. Of course many of these men are not seriously ill,--just have a slight head ache or some minor ailment. Lister bags are put up and water treated with hypo-chloride of lime before the men are permitted to drink it. I am having a good time over here and seeing all I can. Don't know when I will get back to the U.S.A. but hope I will get to see Paris first. I have no definite plans for the future, but think I will go back to Clinton for a while. One of the officers in the infirmary here is Lieutenant Middleton whose father was formerly dean of the college of medicine at Iowa. Best regards to you, Professor Kuever, and Miss Cooper.
