Noted Catholic Writer.-"The sword
is mightier than the pen," is the be-
lief of Peter B. Kyne, noted Catholic
short story writer of Oakland, Cal.
Just as soon as Mr.. Kyne completes
the novel on which he is now en-
gagged, he will enlist. He hopes to be
able to enter the next reserve officers

% Mrs. Margaret O'Keefe of lis Clark

O'Keefe Of the U. s. Machine Gun
company. In letters written to their
mother from France they state that
they arrived safely at their camping
place after an eventful trip across
Daniel O'Keefe, formerly a lawyer
here, writes in part as follows:
Dear Mamma:
Il suppose you think by this time
am with the angels but I am not. I
am still on earth and giving the un-
dertakers' union very little encourage
ment. I am sorry 1 cannot telephone
you but the line is busy so I am writ
ing. We had a fine trip across and
fortunately [ escaped being seasick,
so 1 am very we'll satisfied with my
first trip across the pond. I have
seen very many interesting things
and places since I left the U. S. and
by the time l return I expect to be q
human encyclopedia.
1T do not regret now that I studied
French as it comes in mighty handy
here. 1 have started small French
class among the boys and you would
be surprised to know how much one
/ can pick up in a. short time. 1t also
helps to pass the evening hours away.
! I feel better now than I have in a
! long time and the new scenes and ex-
periences are doing wonders for me-
! I expect to see my brother James to-
| day or tomorrow. Frank says he is
I feeling fine too. Hoping that you and
the children are all well, 1 remain
your loving son.
/ DANIEL e. O'KEEFE."
His brther James, to whom the
above letter refers, writing home
about the same time, says in part:
Dear Mother: Just q few lines
| to let you know that am in the best
Of health and hope this finds you the
same. I got your letter all right and
Sister "Claire's to, but you can bet
| mother. that it was yours I was wait
ing for as it had been long time
since heard fro myou. Brother Dan
Is here too and has good Job in ]
I Company. Since the rest of the Ma
tional Guard have arrived, including
the other New Britain men, it seems
more like home here. Nevertheless,
you can tell the world that while
| Franco is nice enough place I don't
| Hike 1t for home was never like this
Wishing you a merry Christmas
and extending the same greetings to
the children and all my friends am
Your loving son,
JAMES O'KEETE."
