curiosity on the third floor of the Eagle
Office and the general verdict IS that with
the material at hand the American bows
are all right and there are a whole lot
more printers in the United Sattes army
than set mentioned in the DISPATCHES.
Most of the type used IS plea. '"Tho AVER
lean Soldier one Of the papers, says tri-

intensely interesting. Schlitz beer carries
page advertisements and in some cases the
