Dear Mother:
'I am now about twenty-four hours

since I left New York on August y.
which is two weeks today. The trip
has been fine and have not yet been
seasick.
I'VE were four days going from New
York to Halifax, as II was very foggy
with a high Sea running. We were
lost for two days and at one time
were in forty-five feet of water. This
was very dangerous. as the boat re-
auires thirty-five feet to float.
ave were told that we were going
to -, England. and from there to

of the boys have been sleeping under
double blankets. yet the cold has been
terrific. We passed a large iceberg,

Somewhere in France.
Dear Folks
Il have just landed but don't know
the name Of the town as yet. The
people are quaint and simple and
their garb Is entirely different from
anything I have ever seen. As we
floated into port We stood uncov-
cred as the ships band played THE

blessed frog eaters cheered muchly.
so this Is Paris. I have said that
in Jest many times but l don't laugh
now when 1 say IT. We are wearing
new uniforms cut exactly like the
blue one but olive drab.
This is a great country with fiocks
of aeroplanes flying all around
Everyone of military age seems to
be in uniform and a determined spirit
rampant. The trip was made with
out a hitch in thirteen days.
LAS you remember, enlisted In the
Marines on March %; went TO the
Brooklyn Navy Yard on April 4; to
Winthrop. Md, on May 26; back to
Brooklyn on June s; to the Philadel-
phia yard on June II. and sailed for
France on the fifteenth. quite a
lively three months service isn't 1t?
But I am not kicking. Its great

uniform don't fit weaklings.

COLORED CORDS
TO TELL PEN SOLDIERS
Puzzled Washingtonians Find Black
and White" Distinguishes
Field Clerks.

washlngtonians who thought them
selves experts in distinguishing the
various army uniforms, hat cords.
and other insignias OF the service,
seem considerably puzzled over the
black and white cords seen on the
avenue and about town lately. Un-
less they took the trouble to stop the
soldier and ask him about this de-
tail. they doubtless are not even yet
aware that this new decoration has
been officially adopted for the field
clerks that are to sail shortly for
"over there" to do the clerical work
for Uncle SANS forces both at Paris
headquarters and near the front.
Only 400 OF these assistants to the
fighting men have so far been en-
listed, but in spite of its small size
this contingent is of the greatest i'm
portance in helping to win the war.
Among other distinguishing marks
by which the men can be spotted is
the bronze collar button with a de-
sign of crossed goose quilts. in sign
of their profession. AS yet. however,
they are yearing their collars un-
adorned except for the az. s" dec
Grafton, owing to the inability OF
manufacturers to supply the correct
designs. A Pennsylvania avenue deal
er in comfort kits and supplies for
men in camp explains the situation
in regard to the missing badges as
due to the expense in making die"
for the buttons from which such a
limited number will be STRUCK.
Dozens of men in uniform have
come here during the past few weeks
with requests for The now design IN
nat cords" this merchant said. But
so far the factories have not turned
their attention to this matter, as
there would be slight profit In an
order for a thousand cords. which
would be q sufficient quantity Ia
supply present needs and for re-
placements"
In order to equip themselves the
men have been buying the regulation
blue Of the infantry, and having
mother or sweethear. turn them INTO
the regulation article with an APP
plication of twisted strands of al
ternating black and white silk. TINS
homemade" process accounts Tor
the somewhat bulky appearance oI
the cords, and adds to their size and
conspicuousness They will have "a
be used until Uncle Sam. in the press
of business, can focus his attention
on furnishing his new unit with the
proper marks of their rank.

DEATH-BED Wedding
PROLONGS HER LIFE
Mrs. John H. Holden Rallies After
Her Son Happily Marries.

Although physicians declared more
than a month ago that she could not
last more than ten days, Mrs. John
II. Holden, of 512 Sixth street south
west, whose plea that she might see
her son, John, happily married re-
suited in Cardinal Gibbons granting

marriage could be held out Of church,
still lives.
The dispensation granted, John
Holden was married to his sweet
heart. Miss Helen Van Sise, on Au-

A wholly baseless rumor that the
government intends to take canned
and dried foods from farm and other
families is travelling so fast that off,
cials are beginning to suspect a de-
liberate propaganda to hamper food
conservation As a result, the Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture
Is taking steps to put an official de-
nial In the hands of every county
agent and as many other field rep
resentatives as can be reached. with
the request that they give 1t wide
spread local publication. A telegram
from Florida editor indicates that
the rumor. which previously had been
reported from various other points,
has Travelled to the extreme South.
The Food Administration and the
Department of Agriculture both state
emphatically that the government
never has contemplated commander
ing home stocks OF foods, but rather
is doing everything possible to en-
courage the home conservation OF
surplus fruits and vegetables. so that
households may have abundant sup
