But your country does not ask you to give,
only to invest your savings in the best and
safest bond on earth---the Liberty Bond. IT'S
pretty soft for you, isn't it.?
Milford chronicle., 1918-05-03

You are young, you are strong, but because
you are a good farmer your country orders
you to serve at home, raising food for the sol
diers. You are sweating in the fields from
sun-up to sun-down, short of labor, fertilizer
and materials, but beside the lot Of your soldier
in France it's pretty soft for you isn't it?

Dear J. r.
Your letter of january 4th,
was nearly a month in transport.
However that made it all the
more appreciated. Letters from
the states are rare as blue gold
fish and we read them over and
over again.
Well, son, ! have been going
about quite a bit since the last
letter to the states. The British
took me into the line some
months ago, and then the Amer
leans went into line. l was with,
the first American outfit that
took over the line from the
French and we had been there
only twelve hours when we let
the Boche know what was going
on. But speaking of being first,
reminds me to say that the Com
pany am now with was the first
one to land on French soil. Not
only that, the first American
Private to set foot on the soil
Iof France is now acting as my
orderly. Talk about history
all ! have to do is buy a pencil
and write it.
u gotta get the
old forty winks tonight, so will
leave it with you. Regards to the
wife, best wishes to YOU. Let me
hear from you real soon.
As ever your friend,
L. |. Morris,
Lieut.. 18th Infantry.

MAY Be DEMOLISHED
Picturesque Structure Across Har-
lem Serious Obstruction to Traffic.

Dock Commissioner Murray Hull
bert. Of New York. and Col Roess-
Ter. Of the Engineer Corps. in con-
ference here yesterday. agreed
that Highbridge, the picturesque
structure which spans the Harlem
River at the northern end of Man
haitian Island. may have to come
down.
The bridge has become a serious
obstruction to water traffic through
the Harlem, which is to be greatly
increased. Unless engineers can
find means of supporting the span
after the center pillars have been
removed the structure must be de-
stroyed, it is said.
The proposed development would
extend from Twenty-eighth street
to Sixty third street, South Brook
lyn. The property south Of the
terminal is now under lease to the
Navy Department and will be
available. A decision to carry out
the Improvement is still in abey-
ance. The total expenditure pro-
posed amounts to about $40, ,000, 900.
