CUBA CAN PUT 5000
SOLDIERS INTO SERVICE

LONDON, April Q.
Since the entry of the Cuban Republic in
the war on the side of Allies a number of
Cubans have called at the Cuban legation
offering their services. 1t was estimated
that Cuba could put about $4,000 men in
the field. The political influence of her
move on the South American Republics
however, probably will overshadow her
fighting strength.
Cuba Is the sixteenth country to enter
the war and the twelfth to go in on the
side of the Allies.

We understand there is q move
ment on foot among the women OF
the town to get behind the boys who
went from Montpelier to Join the ma
tion guard OF Idaho.
This movement is, indeed very
worthy one and one that should be
kept alive all the time the boys are
in the service. whether they remain
at home or so abroad.
Now what we have TO suggest IL
that the women OF this town get In
touch with the Company B auxiliary,
ahe women's auxiliary Of the COM
pany to which all the local boys be-
long and work with them. All OF
the time the Idaho boys were on the
border Company 3 Auxiliary was do
ing little things for the boys that
helped to make life little brighter
for them and they know what viii
be needed.
So get busy ladies of Montpelier
and work with the ladies of Nam.

let them know you are behind your
boys as they were behind all chs

lean border service-show them tina
after all Montpelier is good towr
