PARIS, Aprfl iS.--An article not long

many lonely soldiers at the front who
had nobody TO write letters to them or
otherwise to show an interest in their
welfare. 1t was suggested that the
names OF these men who had neither
parents nor close friends from whom
they might axpeOt letters be communi-
Gated privately to any kind hearted
woman or girl who would pronounce
herself q temporary "sodmother' to the

the residents Of that county secure no
revenue from such land other than
that OF personal taxes from cattle

that the interests of the state az we'll
