LETTERS FROM THE SOL
DER BOYS.
Aubry MeLarry
France, 10 Is.

Dear Sister
received your letter today and
was glad TO get il. II didn't take
quite a month for il to arrive, but it's
pretty hard for the u. s Soldiers to
get mail promptly. We have moved
several times lately and suppose the
mail made the same route, probably
the r. o. authorities don't know
where we are located at all times.
I've written the folks several times
lately, am sure they have received
them by this time. We have been in
action nearly two weeks and have
gotten along fine. During our spare
time some of us have explored some
dugouts and camped in them for
while: they were very convenient, in
fact they were just like house, only
underground; some We're equipped
with electric lights and some crude
furnishings about like Colorado
summer cabin or camp would have.
We are using one of their stoves and
their wood and coal now. we are very
grateful 10 them for bringing il up
here, but haven't had chance to
Z thank them in person The allied ar
mics certainly treat the German
prisoners well, they receive the same
rations and their wounds receive the
same care that is given their own
troops We can usually get daily
paper. The Red Cross sends them
out to the hospitals nearly every day.
The trouble is the paper never knows
any news | received the pictures
you sent long time ago, was on
detached service and billeted in a
French interpreters house. All the
family could speak English so ! had
dandy time and they thought the
pictures were wonderful and the
"bibes" they called were the topic
of conversation for many days; their
age II had time telling them all of
+ i'd the kind Of cloth their clothes
were made Of, how much clothes they
wear Il know a lot about that how
I their mother managed 20 keep them
so clean and what kind Of toilet arti.'
Giles you all used and what was that
rope papa had on the horse so long
for. also what chickens were worth
and if the feathers were saved when
chicken was killed. and if rabbits
were in the little houses shown in the
picture (the chicken coops sup
pose) and if the bibles could trave
FAR on a horse when they were both
, in a big saddle ! answered every
thing some way. hut II any of them
ever come 10 the u S they may be
surprised mt my answers They th'na
of the T. S as small place like
France and cannot understand why
people would want more COWS than
they could milk and if 1t would not
be more convenient to keep a goat or
too than 10 have the cows, but FOR All
that this is wonderful country de
spite the strain it has undergone dur
ing the war
/ must close If get time will write
to all the folks this evening You
write them and tell them VIII write
them soon
Your Affectionate Brother

SOLDIERS INSURANCE
Government Urging Them to KeeI
UD Their PAYMENTS

Government Urging Them to Keep
Up Their Payments
Washington, Nov. 27-As soldiers
are demobilizcd, effort will be made to
impress on them the desirability Of
their continuing payments on their
government voluntary life insurance,
which can be maintained for five years
after peace, even though the soldier
has returned to civil life. This will
be done by insurance agencies in the
army, working together with author
tiles of the Treasu1y's War Risk In
surance Bureau.
Secretary McAdoo in a statement
has urged soldiers to retain their in
surance to protect their families and
to retain the right to convert this into
other forms to be provided by the
government. An additional reason, il
is said, is the Treasury's desire tc
make of the soldiers 'and sailors in
surance a demonstration that govern
ment life insurance is successful, anc
can be extended.
