is his answer: ~
1T is like stepping into home to
come into one of these buildings. Ev-
eryone wears SIN :]e.. The good these
Y. M. C. A. secretaries do is honestly
beyond description. They even visit
the base hospitals once week and
distribute writing material to the
boys there, and always drop word

Il used to think the Y. NJ. C. A. was
an organization for the sO-called
'sissy.boys' only, but just to show you
what think of it now, let me say
that if ever come out Of this army
alive, certainly will become men,
Der Immediately and do what can to
further the cause that has done so
much for me.
Whenever one gives anything to
the Y. NJ. c. a., it's go 'ng to the best
place there is for the soldiers. am
proud of your Normal school in giving
so much and each one Of you can just
ly feel that you have done world of
good for us fellows who have many
lonesome hours to spend. I believe
if you could see the good it does. like
we do, you would be happy. You may
pass the good word along, because it
is from one who knows, from personal
experience, Of the good the Y. NJ. C..
A. is doing"

My dear Ing: AS we are on the

to the mark we do not know, it would
not be right if were not to extend
to you our great thanks for your ef-
forts in behalf of "G'' Company. Not
only this, but it is necessary for me,
in the light Of the fact that you are
actively engaged in the Red Cross
campaign to inform you Of few of
the little things that the Red Cross is
doing for the soldiers. For instance,
we today received from the Red Cross
sweater and par Of socks for every
man in this company. Two hundred
and fifty sweaters and ESQ pairs of
wool socks. Every company in the
regiment received the same allotment,
SO you see that the money being rails.

pose, having reference to the personal
welfare OF the men. ~.
Before many suns we will be sa'ling
eastward, bent upon doing those
things which is necessary to do in or
der to bring to pass that condition of
world affairs which our president has
said must exist from the standpoint of
the greater America. He today stands
out ac our leader and our guide, and
we as Americans are in duty bound to
follow where he leads. One who will
today stop to cavil as to the correct
ness Of the action Of the president
stands as being un-Amerlcan. True
7 believe in intelligent actions, but I
also realize that he is "The Ameri.
can, and that he has defined the pol
icy, and has laid out the paths which
We must follow, and to maintain our
sAmerican'sm, we must see him

&c" Company is today a company of
ESQ men, We have now 80 drafted
men in the ranks These chaps are
fine outstanding fellows. from Mon
tana mostly, and are fitting in fine.
True there is one or two that l would
not have taken if given the selection,
but the great majority measures up
well, and I am pleased. We s,1re far
ed better than some of the others.
We have had some Valley City v!si-
tors. General and Mrs. Peake, George
M. Young, A. J. Henry, Tom Murphy.
Mr.. Knable from Sanborn, not to
speak of my wife. and we have en-
joyed their being with us to the limit.

must not forget either that we had
nice visit from Rev. Jas. Anderson,
he came to us at Camp Mills, and can
tell you more of what it is like than I.
A friends face is mighty fine thing
to see when you are playing this
game. Well must blow taps" on this
