Tobacco Shipments
Reaching France
Mr.. G. U. Hardy.
Daily Record.
Canon City, Colo

Canon City. Colo.
Dear Sir:
We have been very anxious for some
time to speed up, the acknowledge
ments by postal card of the tobacco
kits sent. to our soldiers in France.
and we have had our representatives
in France make an investigation; he
has just cabled us as follows:
1900 cases kits on hand Amer
lean Red Cross. Will all be de-
livered BY Christmas"
As you know before we presented
10 you for consideration the Tobacco
Fund plan, we had secured the coop
Grafton OF the American Red Cross to
transport all kits to France and de
liver them to the boys. Major Murphy
France. and all shipments are con
signed to him. The first shipment of
kits was made to him in August. and
while the transportation to the other
side is not so very much delayed,
when the goods reach bordeaux or any
port In France. the congestion of the
railroad service is so great that the
time they arrive in Paris is very un-
certain. and It is not safe to figure on
goods being delivered in Paris under
two or three months. Then there is
considerable delay occasioned by the
necessity of reshipment from Paris to
our troops.
We are writing you about this as
your readers may have felt some an
xiety due to the fact that not many
postal cards have been received as
yet. However. now that we under
stand thoroly why deliveries are so
slow, and furthermore. as we know
there are 30 many kits on hand that
will be delivered by Christmas. we
feel that you might want to tell your
readers. II they should ask. the in
formation that we have been able TO
give you.
