Soldiers and sailors are therefore urged
to give explicit, complete, and careful
information concerning their names, post

cations and in letters addressed to the
Bureau.

by DR.. Allen *. Krause of Johns Hop

eyes because there were no chimneys to
carry off the smoke from the huge fires

LETTER TO STUDENTS
To the Enlisted Students of the Tenn

friends, comrades:

TO the Enlisted Students Of the Tenn
pie University, Soldiers, patriots,
friends, comrades:
Your devotion t. your country in it's
battle for human liberty, deserves the
praise and love of all mankind. OF the
duty, sacrifices and glory much has
been said that | need not repeat. But
with paternal interest in your per-
sonal welfare and with view to your
patriotic usefulness to your country
after the war, | most earnestly advise
you to use your spare hours in the
wise development of your mind, in
the direction of your chosen life work.
Many of the private soldiers of the
Civil War became the leaders of the
Nation in consequence of the knoWl-
edge and discipline they secured in
the camp and field. They carefully
studied valuable books in the line o,
their chosen calling and came home to
be Judges, Governors Congressman,
College Presidents, Authors, Editors,
Preachers, Millionaires and great ben
efactors, having laid the foundation in
faithful study, Don't waste any time
in camp. Get the needed books for
your life wo1k and study hard Waste
no money or time on self INDULGENCE.
You are brave soldiers, not pleasure
seekers, or loafers. Get wisdom every
day,-what man has done you can do.
Temple University expects every man
to do his duty. II also expects every
man to go right on with his education.
God bless each one in his endeavor
to serve and to make himself more
serviceable.

NIGHT DRIVING OF ARMY
MOTOR TRAINS BEGUN

The highway transport committee of
the Council of National Defense las
issued the following statement:
Might driving Of NJ otcr :rucl supply
trains from the west TO seabo&rd has
just been started by the Cuartermas-
ter's Department as a step towar1 the
final training which VIII best fit men
for service in France.
Starts from Detroit.
A division supply train, comprising
80 cargo and tank trucks, started
last night from Detroit on it's 600-Tnile
journey eastward
The experience gained through this
cross country convoy work now finds
the truck companies self-contained and
able to travel entirely independent of
the countryside. Camps are made at
the proper hour no matter where the
company is located, with the exception
that the point is made of selecting the
open country rather than the cities.
Important Step in Training.
This driving of motor equipment in
regular formation from factory to sea-
board has proven most important
step in the training program. Each
motor supply train will make two trips
the first trip being made in the day
light and the second at night. At the
front most of the motGr trucks are run
at night so our drivers will now have
the chance to accustom themselves to
such operations. This night driving
here will tend to decrease the daytime
traffic congestion ON some of cur main
highways.

RED CROSS WAR WORK
DRIVE SET FOR MAY 20

In order not to detract even slight
ly from the forthcoming Liberty Loan
campaign the War Council of the
American Red Cross has postponed the
campaign to raise tho second war re-
lief fund of $100,00O,000 to the week of
May goth from the week of May 9Th
as was originally intended. it was an
nounced in Washington today.
This action fixes the date of the sec
ond Red Cross campaign eleven
months after the first, which was
started on June 18th 1917. The war
council has been appointed by Presi-
dent Wilson only five weeks prior to
the beginning of this campaign, so
that it's first great task was to provide
means for carrying on relief work dur
ing the war on a sc; q commensurate
with the military operation.
More than $100000000 was con-
tributed in response to the first cali
for financial aid and contributions
plus interest brought the total re-
ceipts from the first drive up to $105.-
099, SGT, OF this amount, $17006,121
was refunded to Red Cross chapters
for local relief work OF the balance,
leaving a balance Of S10,371,2117 avail
able for appropriation. France has
received appropriations amounting to
more than thirty millions. During the
week proceeding Christmas the Red
Cross conducted a membership drive
which resulted in the enrolment of
approximately 22,OOO,OOO new mem
bers. This was followed last month
by campaign conducted by the jun
ior membership of the Red Cross
which resulted in the enrolment in
the collateral organization of practic-
ally all of the school children in Amer
