the base declined to give the name of
the club, or of the individuals. The
candy is all being sent to the front as
fast as possible, and As many of the
girl donors enclosed their cards, or brief
notes, the soldiers are said to be busy
writing their thanks and other things.
Lieut.. II. A. Dargue, OF the aero corps,
who returned here today, told how, when
