That's glorious news which we've been
receiving from the nshtins lines in
France in these last few days. America
is in the war to an extent which the
Potsdam gang hates like the mischief to
admit and the results are eminently
satisfactory to everybody except the
Kaiser and his kind.

come renewed and increased obligations
over Here. The achievements Of our
ossoldier boys emphasize the debt which
every stay at home owes them. Not
only Is 1t to our interest to help them. to
give them every possible stimulus and
encouragement, for thereby we can help
ourselves, but 1t Is out bounden duty.

Germans back let US night to keep them

under the stress OF existing extraordinary
conditions. happy. In hundreds OF cards
they have told US that the only thing
they prize above all else except homo
letters is good old American smokes.

qualification at the receipt of smokes is
shared by that OF the commanding off,

men and women best acquainted with

judges Of what they should have.
