TAKE COMFORT IN TOBACCO
Soldiers at the Front Find Soiace in Their Supply of the "Sooth
 ing Weed"

Good stories about smoking and smokers continue to fill the space in the British papers not occupied by news of major" engagements.
 The following tribute has been paid to Gen. Sir Philip Chetwode by Sergt. A. Bowler of the Fifth Signal corps, R. E., who is at the front: T have watched him calmly smoking a ciga- rette when shells have been dropping all over the place. I think that if all the German army were firing at him he would carry on as usual, smoking his cigarette and giving his orders as if he were at his club ordering a drink"
 In mid-February German soldiers on the western frontier received daily two cigars and two cigarettes, or an equal amount of chewing tobacco, snuff or pipe tobacco.
