LETTERS FROM "OyER THERE
Rev. W. A. MoIntire Again Keeps IN
Touch with the Home Folks.

Eagle Hut, London, Feb, 10, 1918.
cannot begin TO tell you the many
things that want to tell you of be
cause Of the interruptions and the
shortage Of time and the number Of
things | want to tell you about. First
going back to last Sunday, | was on
duty about noon when gentleman
came in inquiring for me who, when
he found me announced himself as
M'seau Calais Pheasant from Paris,
connected with the French Y NJ. c. A..
and bringing me a greeting from DR..
Potter Benton of q. V. NJ in Burling-
ton who is at present in Paris doing
Y. NJ. c. A. war work.
We visited awhile and ! showed the
man all over the place. He seemed
very gracious and grateful and most
delightful man speaking English per-
fectly but with a pleasant accent He
is about G5 and looks very much like
Mr.. VIII Otis. His one son, a Captain,
has been recently killed with his face
10 the front" He stayed an hour or
more and then went out, returning
again in an hour and apologizing for
having forgotten TO invite me TO dim
ner and asking If | would graciously
dine with him at my own convenient
hour. | accepted, of course, and we
had fine time together. He is fine
conversationalst, knows books and art
and especially music. He was ac-
quainted with the Belgian leader of
the Hotel orchestra where we ate and
he had him play several selections in
my honor. We stayed until almost
midnight and then started to walk
back to the Hut. As we came around
past st. Martins in the Fields, one
of the churches here, he spoke of the
fine custom of having the church
building open all the time for medi-
tation and prayer and said although he
was a Roman Catholic he had some
times gone into this church at night |
just to be quiet and pray, and we both
turned in by common consent and sat
and talked and meditatcd 1t was then
that he told me of his sons death
We remained about half an hour and
then continued our way home. He
came in, had cup Of tea with me-
babe me goodnight and went, ! did
not expect to see him again until !
went TO Paris Che gave me his address
there and impressed upon me that !
was to use his house as my home
there). He expected to finish his bust /,
ness on Monday but he was not able
to finish and on Thursday night called
me UP on the phone and wanted me
TO join him again for little dinner at
the same place, which | did and again
had fine time. He is in London in
connection with his business which is
some banking concern and he is also
very much interested in having inves
tigatcd and tested new serum treat
men for tuberculosis which some poor
chemist in Paris has discovered

NECESSITY FOR
WAR SAVING SOCIETIES

Los Angeles, March G.--In 'scus-
sing the subj Of war savings soci-
cites and their work, Perry w. Weld
ner, assistant state director (south)
of the National Savings Committee,
said:
"The necessity for war savings So
cietics cannot be too strongly empha-
sized. 1t is only by systematic, Or
ganized, cooperative effort that big
results can be obtained, and the war
savings society is the answer to that
requirement in this campaign to sell
thrift and war savings stamps. We
have now, in Los Angeles county, two
numbered Of these organizations, with
a membership Of over 10000, and new
members are being enrolled every day.
We want more, until every industrial
body has all Of its employees enrolled,
and all persons now employed shall
have organized. Any individual or
group can obtain all necessary data
and assistance from the county chair
man, or from state headquarters, II
tie Insurance building, Los Angeles.
illustrating the manner in which
the work is being done by one com
pany, we have letter from Samuel
S. Childs, who owns and operates a
string of restaurants, in which he
says:
"'All of our houses are authorized
agents, and are selling the stamps.
For the three weeks that they were
on sale during the month of January
we sold about $4,000 worth in the New
York stores alone, and we expect to
do much better in February. Most
Of our employees have been given one
or more savings stamps, and every
zone has been given Thrift Card with
a Thrift Stamp attached, and we are
encouraging the sale of stamps to
our employees to the utmost. We
are also pushing the sale of stamps
among our customers, and one of our
methods is to have the cashiers sug-
Gest that patrons take part of then.
