Soldiers Who Don't write Home

letters himself. that he added the hunt
for missing sweetnearts to ray duties as
well. 1t Was certainly funny to get some
big six-foot soldier and ber9te aim for
not writing to his girl" Tho excuses
were many and various, and I greatly
enjoyed them. l do not think there was
a single instance in which the delinquent
did not finally do his duty.
One letter concerned young fore gaer,

solid, perhaps, to get into mischief.

The letter went on to state that Mrs.

I interviewed him that night.

vacant stare. Don't you know that
she and her baby are in dire need?"

LONDON. June 9-In spite of the re-
duction of the bank rate occasioned by
easier money and encouraging New York
quotations last week, the stock exchange

stagnation is attributed largely to the

domestic securities added depressing in
