FARE TO SOLDIERS CUT.
Two Cents n Mile Rate Granted
by United states.

A reduction OF 80 la per cent. in cur
rent railroad fares, making the rate ap-
proximately two cents a mile. has been
granted soldiers by the Railroad Admin
istration. according to an announcement
yesterday by A. H. Smith. Regional Di-
rector OF Railroads It Is estimated that
tho arrangement will reduce railroad
revenues TO the extent OF $4,000, 900. It
was decided upon because of the law
which allows discharged soldiers Sb
cents a mile for travel and sustenance
and 10 insure them OF reaching their
homes without being required to nay
any portion Of the expense OF the trim.
Discharged soldiers who wish sleeping
car accommodations will pay approx
mately half a cent a mile for tourist
sleepers II Is figured that this charge
will leave them enough to pay for their
meals en- route. The arrangement is
already in effect.

MY friend. Lieut.-Col. s. L. Pike.
American Post Office ia, France. has
written to me regarding THE SUN To-
oacco Fund and how much the boys all
appreciate the smokes supplied by you,
so herewith enclose my check"
Christmas smokes are popular with
the patrons of the Schultz and United
cigar stores. as they are with all smok-
ers, and when they realize that the
coupons and certificates received with
their tobacco purchases at these stores
mean added Christmas tobacco for the
soldiers, provided they are deposited in
THE Sun Tobacco Fund boxes the latter
are going to be crammed to suffocation.
To give these coupons to the soldiers Is
little thing to do. but when enough
people do this little thing the aggregate
Is great thing.
How the Fund stand. To-day.
