Card
From Germany Inquiries Of
Safety Of MI. Vernon
PeSpIe

A postal card, written in German.
was received by Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
F. Colville Monday from their nephew.
Mr.. Edward Galbreatb, who resides in
Germany. The postal card stated that
an inquiry as to his safety had been
made through the American embassy
and asked IL Mr.. and Mrs. ColvilIe
we're authors Of the inquiry. The lat
ter had asked for no such information
and are at loss to know who did.
Mr.. Galbreath's father formerly re.
sided in Newark, o., but emigrated to
Germany from that city 80 years ago
Mr.. Galbreath was born abroad. There
is a war law that all mail leaving
Germany must be written in the Ger
man language and also on a postal
card. This explains the card received
by Mr.. and Mrs. Colville.

the favorable moment to slip out of

Gloria cautiously.
Not fashionable and highly insani-

quarter of the town by the Presbyteri'

That's what tell him." said Mrs
