The wholly accidental meeting of
two Washington boys. through an al
most impossible coincidence, some
where in France, Is described IN a let
ter written by George ]. Barbara to
friends in this city. Barbara. who is
a private in the Quartermaster Corps,
American expeditionary force, formerly
was employed at the bureau of stand
ards here, while Lieut. Francis Martin,
who is a son of William Martin. a
postal inspector now attached to the
New York post Office, is a graduate of
Central High School, was an officer in
the high school cadets and later a
lieutenant in the District National
Guard Both lived in Tflden street in
this city.
In his letter Barbara writes:
About five minutes ago / had the
most exciting and pleasant surprise of
my young life and am still nervous
from the effects of it. I was hitting
the keys in great shape, writing a let
ter to the home folks. and was so
deeply absorbed in it that, although
Lieut. Francis Martin walked into the
office and had been standing behind
me for two or three minutes. l had no
idea who it was until he slapped me
on the back and yelled Smoky" 1

nickname in France
Military dignity went to the winds,

minutes we were both plain American
citizens and old chums regardless of
other officers present He has prom
ised to look me up again before either
of US leave here and will get pass
so that we can go to town and get a
quiet room somewhere, where we can
sit down in privacy as chums and
talk things over.
II want you to realize. If you can,
what an impossible coincidence my
meeting with him was, Francis is not
located at this camp Che has been all

up here this morning on little Off

TAK0MA PARK, MD,
SEEKS WIDER AREA
Citizens Ask Legislature to
Enlarge Corporation Limits.
Town Council Meets.

There is a possibility that within the
near future the area of the town OF
Takoma Park, Md, will be slightly en-
larged if a bill for this purpose is
passed at the present session of the
Maryland Legislature. This will neces-
state a changing of the corporation
limits in Montgomery and Prince
Georges counties. A petition, signed by
residents of Pine Crest subdivision and
property owners representing over $50
lots on the border line of Takoma Park,
requests the town authorities to incor-
porate that portion of the subdivision
bounded by the District line, Cockerille,
Eastern and Highland avenues
The matter was discussed at a meet
ing of the town council last night. No.
objection will be made on the part of the
town authorities to the petitioners be-
derstood that bill has been drawn and
is to be presented to the Montgomery
and Prince Georges county representa-
tives at Annapolis within the next few
days. In this connection Town Clerk
Ben G. Davis and Councilman H F..
Rogers will present to the committees
at Annapolis. Nd, a revised copy of the
boundary lines of the town, which is
necessary before final action can be
taken.
