Limages, as follows:
Dear Father and Mother:-I am

Nearly every meal l go back for sec

over here there wasn't much variety
for the first few days. l suppose you
notice that I have put the name of
Limoges at the head of the letter. We
are living at a large chateau outside
the city. 1t certainly is beautiful out
here too. Near the house is a little
park with a large grove, fountain
and beautiful garden
"On the day that we arrived here
the Red Cross served us hot coffee
when we got into the station All the
Red Cross ladies were Americans too.
Besides the soldiers canteen, the Red
Cross also has a rest room here at the
station. When in town one sees a
great many wounded soldiers, mostly
French. Besides the wounded there
are also a great many here on leave,
French, British, Americans. French
Colonial troops from Algiers, etc. 1t
is all very interesting AS yet we are
still resting, but l guess that we will
start to real training in a few days
About every other day we have had

GOLDSBOROUGH PLANS
FOR NEW LOAN DRIVE
Former Governor And The Coun-
ty Chairman In Consultation
In Baltimore Today
TO RUSH THE CAMPAIGN

Anne Arundel members of the Lib
erty Loan Committee went to Balti-
more today for the first conference of
the state campaign committee since
former Governor Phillips Lee Colds
borough was appointed to the state
craftsmanship.
Plans for putting across Maryland's s
apportionment of the forthcoming
Liberty Loan will be discussed, any re
arrangements of the subcommittee
that may be necessary will be made, a
successor TO Mr.. Goldsborough as chair
man of the committee on speakers will
be appointed. there win be a general
adjusting of difficulties and smoothing
OFF the rough places that have develop
ed in the three preceding campaigns
and general Tightening up of the
lines preparatory TO going into the
fourth campaign with a new deal all
around.
And the day after the preliminary
work of the campaign will begin in
earnest. The actual campaign will be-
gin ON Saturday. September 2S, and
will last only three weeks, so there
will be much to be done in advance of
the actual opening. One of the things
the new chairman will do will be to
have daily meetings of all the chair
men of subcommittee at noon and
weekly meetings of the county chair
men for the interchange of opinion and
discussion of methods and measures.
1t is the intention to keep everybody
in close touch with every phase of the
campaign, to uncover promptly any
weak spots that may develop in the
plan of campaign and to be in position
to check up on errors of generalship
instantly.
Mr.. Goldsborough received a tele-
gram from Governor Seay Of the Fifth
Regional Reserve District yesterday
morning formally appointing him to
the Craftsmanship for which he was
selected Tuesday afternoon, congratu-
lating him and calling him Ito this
patriotic service which no man may re-
fuse when it is possible TO serve"

DRAFT HELP WANTED
IN BIG REGISTRATION
Some Few Have Volunteered But
Many More Are Needed In
Precincts Of County
WOMEN ARE NOT DESIRED

While some few men have volun-
teered on the day on which the men
who are brought within the selective
service by the new legislation before
Congress must sign up, the number
of helpers required by States Attor-
ney y. H. Green and other members
of the Anne Arundel local board is
still greatly insufficient. and Adjutant
General Henry NJ. Warfield is still
asking for volunteers in this county
as well as throughout the rest of the
State
He calls attention TO the fact that
the work will require only one day
and says that every man should be
willing to give. that much time to his
country when the men who are going
into khaki are giving so much more.
Women have expressed a desire to
help in this work of registration.
While the Adjutant General probably
will not interfere if any of the local
draft boards permit women to help he
does not approve the using them for
that work. He says that there is a
sufficient number of men to do ii with
out drawing on the women; that it is
mans job and the men should do it.
Some of the local boards in parts
of Baltimore and Anne Arundel Coun-
ties to be annexed by the city have
been puzzled as to how they should
conduct their registrations. General
'Wardeld has notified them to register
men just as they have been doing,
without any regard to the annexation
lines.
All preparations have been COM
pleted by States Attorney Green for
the registration Saturday of the men
who have become 81 years of age
since June 5th last. There will be
only one registry place in Anne Arun-
del for this All young men should
present themselves at the office of Mr..
Green, on School street, between Z
