RUMOR NOT TRUE.

Stories are being circulated to the
effect that | have had letters from
my son Raymond who is serving his
country with the American EXpedi
tionary Forces in France, to the
effect that the boys there are COM
PEELED to buy the articles and supplies
that are sent over by the American
Red Cross Chapter and these stories
have reached my ears, and l publicly
wish to deny them in toto. l have
never received anything of such a
nature, but on the other hand have
every assurance that the efforts be-
ing put forth by the Red Cross and
Y. M. C. A. are in reality life savers
to our boys at the front and in SER
vice in every department of the army
and navy.
