A. carrying the feminine touch. They say so them selves in letter to The Age Herald, and ask young ladies who would care to dispel their loneliness to write to them.
 Private E. H. Counts of the same command recently wrote The Age Herald a similar plea and already he has been rewarded with a letter from Birmingham girl who called up The Age Herald to get his address Here is the latest letter:
 We, the u.lrersigned are soldiers stationed on the Island of Oahu. La waiian territory. far from anywhere, and near to nowhere, and what We would like is letters from home. from some nice girls who would write and relieve us of our loneliness. We are away out here in the middle of the broad blue and briny Pacific ocean on the Island of Oahu, the paradise of the Pacific group, truly called the melting pot of the world. And ever though we are in love with its rain bows at night and other scenes just as wonderful we must still admit thai we are very, very lonesome.
