hundreds of boys who have been mem
bers in the states and are hungry for
such things over here.

orphan boy, his father was an Eng
lish sea captain and his aunt has
raised him ever since he was two
years DID, He's a fine gentle boy
with no bad habits and is very good
worker. He speaks English we'll and
French better There will be lots of
work he can do. We are needing a
lot of Y. M. C. A. men in this district,
could use 500 more. Some of us are
doing five mems work. They tell us
there are more on the way and We
hope SO. My last plans are to sail

Dear Mother:
Right now I'm extremely confused
or pleased or don't know just exactly
what-I've been promoted to the sec
rotary of this division, and have
charge of the work in this whole
camp as well as eleven camps in out
lying territory.
1t came as a surprise and is the
biggest job l ever had as far as SUI
pervision is concerned and it staggers
me to think of the men to be reached.
We are having fine Christian En-
deavor services every Sunday night.
The testimonies of the men are
wonderful. Last Sunday night the
topic was prayer. One man got up
and said that sometimes during the
afternoon or while on the grind of
military duties he would stop and find
himself simply trimming over with
happiness and lightheartedness, and
he would ask my God why am l so
happy" and then the answer would
come in the thought, "Why my moth
err back home in the kitchen, and
father out on his mail route are pray
ing for me-" and then he said Il can
make them contented and happy too
by praying for them"
1t was wonderful testimony and
the way he put it did lot of good.
We get things like that right along
from the men and they are fine lot.
Well, here it's supper time, and l
must get my "mess-kit' and get in
line.
/ wish it was to be fried chicken
and mashed potatoes in good old In
diana style. There's nothing like it.
Goodbye for this time, with love,
HERBERT.

A summary of the negotiations

gineer for Mix. declared Borglum
