LETTERS FROM OUR
 SOLDIER LADDIES

August 20, 1917. Dear Friend and Editor:
 After reading the letter of our friend, John Joyner, could not re- sist letting you know that l am also one of the happy "Sammies". While at Jefferson Barracks, Mo-, I didn't think much of my job, but conclud- ed that would stay with it a while longer. The first degree was a reg ulation hair cut and you can't hardly realize what it is until you have the experience. But after arriving here I was much better satisfied and I like it better every day.
 There are 5000 in the medical de- partment and about 900 officers, in all about 30,000 including the cavalry and field artillery and the jolliest bunch you ever saw. The average age is from 20 to 25. They are ship ping the boys out every day now,

ONE WAY OF RAISING MONEY
Governments. In NapoIeonie Wars,
Made Counterfeit Coins to Finance
Raids on Enemy.

Numerous methods have been
adopted from time to time for supple
menting the currency Of the various
countries engaged In war. but It Is
scarcely possible that the powers will
be forced again to the expedlents that
were often essential In the old days.
Prior to Nnpoleon's 1912 campaign,
for instance, the Paris gendarmes
made n raid one night on q house In
the PLANE Montrouge. and discovered
n mandatory OF false notes. Quite
n sensation was caused when, on the
following day. the police minister
made the announcement that the man
ufactory had been started "by order
Of the emperor" The false notes,
which were Austrian and Russian,
instead Of French, were intended for
use against the enemy on the Russian
expedition. but the bulk of them came
to grief during the great retreat.
The duke of Wellington was respon-
siblc for II similar stroke of business
during the Pcninsulnr war. Badly In
need Of gold when about to invade
France, he conceived the idea Of hunt
ing out some counterfeit coiners from
the ranks. A number of these gentry
were forthcoming, and they were or
dcre.i by the great general to exercise
their evil art by transforming English
sovereigns into louis dor and napo.

In those days, Burns was eventually
shifted to the outfield, and although
he made good as first catcher with tho
Utica club 1t was believed that his
wonderful hitting ability could be bet,
tered II he played the outfield. So
into the garden went Burns. and after
two years OF II he was grabbed by the
Giants. He has been with McGraw
eve since, and his baseball expert,
ence In professional ranks has been
limited to the two teams.
Hughie Jennings once said Of
Burns:
"He Is as good a player as ever
drew on a spiked shoe. It's too bad
he hasn't a little more aggressiveness
In his makeup. He would be doubly
wonderful. There's nothing he doesn't
or cannot do well on C ball field"
That's Burns. Ask any OF the big
leaguers about him and you'll get the
same answer, and II Is n tribute none
too good for him because, with all Of
his ability. he is n Of the most I'M
assuming ball players In the game,
and he doesn't care Il tinker's rap for

1889. He Is five feet seven inches tail
and weighs around 10 pounds in con-
dltion.
