indianapolis, July 21.-Efforts OF
indianapolis women to provide en-
tertainment for the student officers
from West Virginia, Ohio, Kentucky
and Indiana. and soldiers at Fort
Benjamin Harrison, near here, have
been given a more or less chilly re-
ception by the army officers in charge
of the camp, and Brig. Gen. Edwin
F. Glenn, in command of the 1900
men at the fort in three words has
told the women what to 10. He said.
Leave them alone.
The advice was given to the wo-
men at a meeting held to discuss
what to do to entertain the candi-
dates and soldiers, General Glenn
was invited to give suggestions. His
advice was unexpected. General
Glenn also has been conducting for
some time a campaign to keep young
women and girls without chaperons
from the camp. H--.
Although the efforts of the COM
handing officers along that line have
met with some success, as yet no
ways have been devised to keep wo-
men and girls from writing to the
student officers. Every day hundreds
of letters are received by the young
men from women Ln6y never. n6dEu
of before Most of the letters are
of the socalled romantic type, but
occasionally one of different kind
is received.
The objection to letter writing to
soldiers at the training camps, in
the opinion of the commanding off,
GERS, is confined to missives from
emotional, sentimental women and
girls and not all of the Offenders
against propriety are young women.
Little or no objection is made to
clean wholesome letters devoid of
sentimentality or reference to the
personality of the writer and her
wish to meet the soldier recipient of
the letter.
Samples of Letters.
The young women writers evident
Nv do not know what the men do
with the letters. One of the favorite
pastimes of the Candidates. and one
which provides them much amuse-
ment, is reading the letters they
consider especially soft" to their
comrades, and comparing them. Fol-
lowing are some of the types of let
tiers:

Among these little comforts, Gen.

men might supply the soldiers, when
they go abroad, with needles, thread

Yours hopefully.
The letter was from a girl in q
small Indiana town.
All of the letters, however, are not
from Indiana girls. Many come from
far distant states. How the names
of the students become known to the
writers has been more or less a mys-
terry.
One letter received by one of the
young men from an unknown writer
recently read:
Il love manly soldiers. just think
they are grand. But we don't see
many here. Maybe sometime / could

self, but it's not very good of me.
Please write to me right away, be-
cause l am SO lonesome, and l want
some soldier to think of me when he
is fighting for his country.
Not All Sentimental.
Some of the letters are of different
tone, and evidently are from girls of
refinement and dignity. What the
candidates call the romance stuff"
is lacking. One man at the camp
has each week been receiving a let
ter and a pack of cigarets, or some
other little gift from a girl in Texas.
After the first gift he wrote her tell
ing her he did not wish the gifts.
She replied:
Il am not sending them to you,
MI. .. Gill ILSAA

gives me pleasure to do this, and l
am sending similar packs to one
man in each of the training camps.
When the war is over, or when you,
for any reason, take off your uni
form, you will, in your own proper
person, receive no more cigarets
from. --". g
In speaking to women who have
asked him what can we do for the
soldiers, General Glenn said, My an
sWer is, here at home - let
him alone. The American soldier
when let alone, is the most peaceful
and accomplishing animal in the
world. You don't think much of him
in time of peace, but in time of war
you fall over yourselves to do some
thing for him-you don't know what
it is, but it is pretty certain to be
bad for him. =.

Sault Ste. Marie, Mich, May 2
George Hollis, five years old, living in
the Canadian 500, has the making of
good American.
He boarded an international train
recently at his home town to come
into the United States on secret
mission. The conductor and immi-
grafton ofiicials-who are very alert
nowadays-noticed George and asked
him to sit with his father.
George strutted through the smok-
ing car with the officials on his trail.
He looked from one man to the other
until he reached man in the last
seat.
Here's my father" said George.
II never saw the boy BEFORE" said
the man.
The boy insisted that the man was
his father until lie was threatened
with spanking. Then he sobbed and
said:
Il wanted to come, to the United
States and buy flag. My daddy said
the United States was run by Goo
and | wanted to show God that
loved him."
He carried six large American flag,
and wore a broad smile when he
boarded the train for its short run
back into Canada.
