spend that way in buying ammunition
to make more wounded soldiers and
widows and orphans for the Americans

"Well, anyhow, Teller that gives
money for war charity is just so kind
hearted as a Teller which gives money
to charity" Birsky said @
THAT depends on his Intentions"
Zapp replied. There is some French
er-Americans and COMMUNICATIONS
which has got a pretty good idee that
war charity is a matter Of bookkeep-

hearted exactly if such a Teller would
inclOSe with his check q letter saying
Gents: Inclosed herewith please find
check for five hundred dollars for
wounded soldiers. Would be obliged
If you will transfer the sum of FIVE
hundred dollars from your hospital

hospital for wounded soldiers at Port
de Salut and writes every couple. of
days to the papers telling how she got
letter from the Duchess in which
the Duchess says: Mrs. Maria Van

say that any one desiring to give
money to the Duchess de CamembeIt's
hospital can send it to Maria Van
RensseIaer-Zwiebel in care of J. C.
Morgan & Co. and remain truly yours
Maria Van RenSselaer-Zwiebel In
this way she gets her name over four
times and the Duchess de Cama!n-
bert's name figures twice, whereas
she only mentions the wounded sol

when Mr.. Van Observation-Disclosures
kicks that he has got to pay. a bill for
five hundred newspapers and she says
