Correspondence
From War Zone
Is Very Simple
News From Somewhere in
France Leaves you Hun
cry For More.

That correspondence with the men
in the trenches on the battlefields of
Europe must be more or less stereo-
typed is shown by a postal card re-
Gently received in Pensacola frem a
friend somewhere in France"
The face of the card is marked with
the coat-of-arms of the British En-
pire, and under the crest is stamped
Field Service" and a system of Sc
rial numbers. In the lower left-hand
corner is this legend: 1.-THE address
only to be written on this side. If
anything else is added the post card
will be destroyed"
Over the entire face are spread
postal markings, showing the many
different hands the card must pass
through before it is allowed to leave
the country. The last is a very IA
miliar mark and shows that it came
through Pennsylvania terminal at
New York. And then, there is that
gloomy reminder: 'Due cents"
On reversing the card, one who ex-
poets to see familiar handwriting or
some individual expression, will re-
ceive shock. For the communication
is very impersonal one, with thous-
ands of others exactly like it, word
for word.
1t is neatly printed in small type,
with several blank spaces where the
writer can say a word or two Of bis
own.
Some idea of the arrangement of
the card can be gained from the fol-
lowing: 81 am quite WELL" and i'm
mediately underneath is this SEN
tence: 81 have been admitted to the
hospital, (siek, wounded)." The writ
er must then erase or cross out the
sentence which he does not intend ia
use. If he is well, he marks out the
one underneath. The only other
marks made personally are the sig
! nature and the date.
The rigid censorship is shown by
the note printed in large type al
the top of card, f'Nothing is to be
written on this side except the date
and signature of the sender. Sen.
fences not required may be erased. i
anything else is added the post care
viii be destroyed.
