One of cur boys in France who was

comfort in one of the new quarters
for American troops. sends across the
following:
When this cruel war is over and we've
laid aside our hates.
When we've crossed the bounding bill
low to our own United States;
When I sleep in thin paiamas. not in

I will think about the billets where

When l sit all snug and cozy and it

With teeth that do not chatter till they

there is a chance
That III laugh about the tin-cup baths
I took in sunny France.
When I watch the open fire eating up
the seasoned logs.
I'll recall the sappy sticks fresh out
from soggy Gallo bogs;
When l hear the fire crackle as
watch it jump and dance.
I'll forget the smoky fireplace, I froze
beside in France.

Substitutes and Give soldiers the

J. T. Fisher Of Rockland is among
the first 70 respond 10 the food ad-
ministration s request 10 turn in sur
plus flour. In the following letter 10
the state food administrator he makes
it clear that he is willing to bear his

I notice in the press OF recent date
the action Of the Hotel Mems assoei-

staternment that all wheat in farmers
hands be marketed By May Is and the
statement that all stocks not 50 de-

these facts I conclude that there is a
serious shortage Of wheat That there

HOLD TO THE LAST
MAN, Is HAIG'S PLAN

Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig, in
a special order of the day addressed
to "all ranks of the British army in
France and Flanders" Friday, says:
Three weeks ago today the enemy
began his terrific attacks against us
on fifty-mile front. His objects are
10 separate us from the French. to
take the channel ports and to destroy
the British army.
In spite of throwing. already, log
divisions into the battle and enduring
the most reckless sacrifice of human
life. he has yet made little progress
toward his goals.
I'VE owe this to the determined
lighting and self-sacrititice of our
troops. Words fail me to express the
admiration which feel for the splen-
did resistance offered by all ranks Of
our army under the most trying cir
Cumstances.
Many amongst us are now tired.
To those l would say that victory will
belong to the side which holds out
the longest The French army is NOV
ing rapidly and in great force to our
support. There is no other course
open TO us but TO fight it out.
Every position must be held TO the
last man. There must be no retire
ment. With our backs to the wall and
believing in the justice of our cause.
each one of us must fight to the end.
The safety of our homes and the free
dom of mankind depend alike upon the
conduct of each one of us at this criti-
cal moment.
