II I've met quite few fellows from
home over here, among them Ray Allen
of Montpelier Here is line on what
the fellows at the front say about the

They say the Salvation Army uses the
soldiers the best. So far / have not run

least things seemed pretty high to me.
However, in this town it has been pretty
good, while the * Of G. here sets up
