PARIS, May 30.-Letters are one
of the most essential factors in
keeping our mems hearts up, and
spirit is needed now that our boys
are getting into the real fighting.
Therefore, fathers and mothers,
remember that through your let

diversion in the field, so send them
often. Through letters the men
derive comfort and cheer.
Don't tell your troubles; your
boy has his own. Give him the To-

tain the army's morale.
Use all your influence to i'm
prove the postal service.
