Miss Jennie Screen of Yalc Unit
 Writes of Service.

Miss Jennie Screen, a member of the Yale Mobile unit has written a letter to her sister. Mrs. Selma And erson of Walnut street, in which she stated that the unit is now actively engaged in service in France. The information furnished by the writer that the unit to which she belongs is doing duty in a field hospital in the vicinity of the sector where the Twenty sixth division of the U. $. army is actively engaged, should be of interest to New Britain people, in asmuch as a large number of New Britain as we'll as Hartford young men are in this division, Company B, form erly Troop B, of Hartford, form ing part of the TWenty-siXth dlVi- sion.
 The letter is full of interesting facts, among them the statement that Miss Screen attended the funeral of Major Lufbery, of Wallingford, the great American ace who died lover there" while in the service of his country. She writes that the boys are well and anxious to do their bit for Uncle sam. and that their spirit is wonderful. One of the main ques- tions asked by the wounded boys she stated, is "How soon can we get back into the trenches again"
 Miss Screen writes that 15 Ameri- can girls are serving i'll the same hos pital with her and are the only American girls in that sector The building in which the nurses live was converted from a small hut into a hospital, which is small. The nurses quarters are partitioncd off by cur tains, with a row of beds on one side of the room and mess quarters on the other side, Miss Screen stating that the nurses. eat in picnic fashion.
 Miss Screen enlisted as a member of the Yale Mobile unit, which was organized for immediate foreign serV ice as soon as war was declared be- tween this country and Germany.
