 Dear Miss Baldwin:-After seven months in France a fellow commences to look back to old times at home. And while at the front it brings old recollections of when we were at school, and when playing little tricks in Sunday school A fellow can think of most everything especially when on sentry duty in the trenches for all night and cannot make a sound for fear Fritz might start a racket. And have been at the front for several months and had plenty of sentry duty. shall never forget the first time 1 ever was in a scrap. We were on . working party 35 strong in No Mans Land, and 1 think Fritz had planned a raid about the time we started out, for we were not quite to our destlna- tion when Fritz opened up, and sent ! shells all around uS. l never Knew i that they could send shells so fast un- 1 til that night They came so fast that we could not get back to our trench, and had to stay in shellhole for D minutes. and it resulted in 10 men and sergeant captured and one killed i But the rest of us got back safely There were 450 Boches came over but were not successful and were repulsed with much more loss than we had 1 We have thad several interesting times since and one that was one oi the hardest blows the Americans have had.

genius displayed by 'Foch than to
Joffre's efforts. After the battle of
the Marine, F'och was given command
of the armies operating in the north
of France and was promoted to grand
officer of the Legion of Honor.
His Personal Appearance.
Tall, thin, elegant-with fine
head and features General Foch is
simple of bearing, but authoritative.
From his gray eyes shine the intel
ligence and will power OF a real chief.
In conversation he shows his mill
tary training by directing the course
of his talk like maneuver. When
in May of last year General Joffre
was succeeded in the command of
the French armies operating on the
French front by General Henri Phil
ippe Petain, and General Nivelle was
placed in command of a group of
armies, General Foch succeeded Pc
tain as chief of the general staff of
the ministry of war, a post he has
held up to the present, all the while
working diligently upon strategic
moves in which the French have been
SO successful
But over and above all Foch is a
fervent, devout Catholic, who never
lowers his banner before the assaults
of the anti-clerical contingent. His
brother is Jesuit priest.

LEPERS BUY STAMPS
BROTHER JOSEPH BUTTON TELLS
HOW LEPERs INVEST $4,000
IN THRIFT STAMPS.

A message potent with sacrifice and
emblematic of the highest patriotic
principles, barking nearly 5000 miles
from an island leper colony in the
Pacific Ocean, brought home with
smashing force the duty of purchas-
ing thrift stamps at a recent meeting
OF sixty citizens of Memphis, Tenn,
members of the general war savings
stamps committee.
The message was in the form of a
letter received from Brother Joseph
Dutton, who resided in Memphis thir-
ty-five years ago and is now in charge
of the lonely little leper colony at
kalaWao, Molokai, in the Hawaiian
Islands.
In a most matter of-fact tenor,
which enhanced it's majesty, the let
ter told of the labors performed by
the lepers in order that their savings
might be invested in thrift stamps.
Three thousand dollars were invest
ed in these stamps, the earnings of
men for whom the future holds no
more than a slow death.
Men and even women who, far re-
moved from the turmoil and devastat-
ing terrors of war, whose existence is
composed of a cycle of weary days
with never an expectation of leaving
the confines of their enforced hermit
age, who are i'll fitted to weaken their
life blood with labor, have subscribed
$4,000.
