coffee, 2 cakes and half penny in
change. We are on the channel or
near it and when I'll be in France
l can't say-in a very few days
though l imagine, as this is but q
rest camp.
You of course got my card msiled
as l sailed to be delivered on our
arrival here, also my letter written
at sea. A merchant vessel in our
fleet of transports was sunk after
she and her convoy had left us to
land at another port, but We saw nor
heard of a U-boat On our way over.
We were heavily conveyed all the
way over and on entering the war
zone same was more than doubled.

mans are called here. / read myself
to sleep each night and wasn't wor-
ried half as much as you and mother
were. We scarcely thought of a
sub. 1t takes one but a very few
minutes to know he's in the war
zone for to see trucks, cars and all
handled by women, the mail deliver
ed by an English lass, soon makes
you realize something is wrong.
It's $50 now and l must beat it
to camp-and to think it's but $3.50
in Covington-only hours differ
ence. See?

Washington.-The knowledge Of for
eign languages which before the war
seemed almost superfuous equipment
and Of little practical use except as a
finishing touch to an education Of cul-
ture, is now being appreciated by the
demand for volunteers to work with
aliens, and spread the ideal Of Ameri-
canization. One of the four war
courses at Vassar college, Poughkeep-
sic, N. T., Is training for work with
Aliens" taken by those who have con-
versational command of q modern lam
guage. This course will fit young wom-
en- for work in censorship, translation,
the education of aliens and other social
work connected with alien supervision.
Young college women in Cleveland
are giving evenings to educating for
eigners. War news Is printed daily in
various languages, and posted in the
school centers and questions are en-
cOuraged and answered.

Our soldiers will not have to worry
about warm legs this winter If they
will but wear the ''leg long" that has
been devised by Miss Emma Frohman,
sister of the late Charles Frohman,
for their comfort. The new garment
fits snugly around the tops Of the SOL
dier's puttees or canvas leggins and
extends upwards to be drawn tight
around the waist. It Is knitted Of
very heavy wool and is sure to keep
cold away from the wearer's legs.
This photo shows Miss Frohman
putting her "leg longs" on one Of the
soldiers. He is also wearing a knit
ted sweater SO there Is very little
chance of his ever getting cold. Guam
titles Of the new garments will be
made ut the new workrO0m Of the Ma
tional League for Woman's Service.
and they expect to have the '1eg longs"
on the way to the army boys soon.

And We are so glal. Came ashore
this morning just in time for lunch
and such a lunch. 1t was me first
real American tasting food since we
left home and you should have seen
the quantity. Don't ever let any
one fool you into believing France is
short on rations. They did not deal
things out to you by the spoonful as
in England, and over there the food
was so tasteless. Here everything
had real taste. We had about six
kinds of relishes, then eggs, then the
best roast and French fried potatoes
just like home cooking-and heaps
OF it, then fruit and nuts and coffee.
We did enjoy it so. There is an en-
tirely different atmosphere here; it
reminds one OF New Orleans. I'm
sure we are going to like France.
We don't know yet where We will be
located-have just landed and had
lunch Wherever we land there are
American officers to receive US and
attend to every thing.
What we saw in rural England
was very pretty-green, grassy hills
and pretty streams and odd looking
gabled houses-but we made almost
the entire trip at night and saw very
little. Before we left port we had
about an hour and Mae, Juanita, Miss
Broussard and l took stroll. We
saw the Mayfower monument which
marks the spot where she sailed in
1920 There are about six tablets
inscribed in memory of John Alden
and others of the Pilgrims, put there
by their descendants. We saw a
tower of the 18th century and one
Of the 14th century and one of the
9th and 18th century. There were
the grooves for the portcullio and
Sits in the tower where they shot
arrows through. Those walls were
the protection Of the city and were
battered by the French in the 18th
century. We saw the gate through
which the soldiers marched when
going over to the battle OF Crecy and
Aguincourt Think Of that!
We certainly will be glad when we
get some mail from home. OF course
we have not had line in over three
weeks. Write me what the boys are
doing and please give them news
from me. / have not had tine to
write any one but you.
Take good care of yourselves.
Loads Of love to each and all OF
you.
Devotedly,
JANELIA.

Well, thank God, I'm here, and

We arrived. unloaded our part of the
ship, ate some eggs and bareback
and then boarded our train for our
Rest Camp. We were all muchly
amused at the tiny little coaches
with their first, second and third
class apartments and the doors on
each side. The surprise came when
we started on our ride-the little
devils almost flew. We rode for
hours through the most wonderful
country l ever saw. The farms all
look like garden spots and the
houses are all brick or stone-so far
l haven't seen one of wood, and they
all look like the pictures one sees
in novels.

and at last arrived at another port

2:3O a. IN. and then began our hike

War Savings Campaign Records First
100000 Day
The War Savings Campaign has reached it's
first Sc, 100000 day, as shown by reports of re-
ceipts on March Is by the Treasury Depart
ment. Sales of the savings stamps in the three
days of March 6, Z and 8, were: 1925, 900,
$4,000 900 and Sc, 049000
Three millions day for the thrift stamps
provides the Treasury with about one-tenth Of
the entire amount now being expended by the
nation for the war; While three million is only
cents day for every man, woman and child
in the country, the entire cost of the war is 80
cents per capita a day.
The War Savings Committee, delegated by
the Treasury to enlist a hundred million invest
ors in the baby bonds anticipates soon reaching
the six millions day rate necessary to place
the two billion issue within year. This will
be cents day per capita.
The sale of these stamps will finance the gov
ernment's entire emergency shipping program.
The current Treasury receipts from their sale
are already averaging the cost of building
twelve thousand tons of shipping day.
We sell War Savings Stamps for our Govern
ment. Let us serve you in this capacity now

Mae and l took long walk and felt
almost as if We were walking thru
a book of travels. The little French
shops, the women pushing carts, the
punches of kids skipping rope and
running clumsily about in their fun
ny wooden soled shoes-it was all
enhancing to us. They sell flowers
everywhere-in the shops and from
carts on the streets, and nearly every
one wears a few daisies, jonQuils and
others, especially sweet kind of

THE TIME FOR PLANTING CORN
Is AT HAND.
(By Felix Bacllemin)

To the Boys Corn Club:
Corn should be planted as soon
after March l as the season will per-
NIT. In this State, about four years
out of five, farm crops suffer from
droutha sometime during the sum-
mer months. So in order to avoid
the damage to corn during these
dry periods we should do our best to
get the crop made before dry wealth

Salvation Army
War Fund Reaches
Total of $118,O64

Yesterdays efforts to roll up the col
lections in the Salvation Army's cam
paign for $2,OO0,ooo brought the total
in this city to $118,O64. The quota for
greater New York is $250,O0O.
The Salvationists,. who are hopeful
they will obtain their quota by Satur-
day, when the campaign closes. were
heartened yesterday by the receipt of
word of encouragement from General
Pershing. A telegram received at head
quarters from Adjutant General John
S. Johnston, U. S. A., reads as follows:
General Pershing has requested me
to transmit to you the following con-
tents of his cablegram of May Z, as
follows: Salvation Army doing splen-
did work with the American army in
France and much appreciated by our
men.-Pershing.'
Because of the frauds practised by
persons taking advantage of the drive
to mulct the public, the Salvation Army
officials have appealed to the police to
apprehend persons who are collecting
money in the name of the Salvation
Army without the proper credentials.
ut seems Incredible" said Colonel
Mcintyre, chat any one would stoop
to 'injure US at this critical juncture.
warn all people to refuse contribu-
tions to persons not in our regular
uniform, or not equipped with ere
dentials signed by the proper officials
both of the citizens committee and the
Salvation Army"

Two Children Killed.
Man Hurt, by Trucks

Two children were killed and man
was seriously injured by motor trucks
in the city yesterday.
Luigi Giordano, three years old, and
his sister, Carmilina, five, had left
their home at 72 Baxter Street and
started for Columbus Park to play. AS
they were crossing Baxter Street. near
Bayard Street, a motor truck owned
and driven by Frank Russo, Of 135
Avenue B, Bayonne, N. j., knocked
them down. Both fell under the front
wheel. The little boy was killed in
stantly, while his sister died soon
afterward in Volunteer Hospital
Khalil Ghoget, of 81 Washington
Street, was the third victim. He was
ss6anding St 4i in front Of grocery store. at
80 Washington Street, when a truck
going south on Washington Street sud
denly turned and ran up on the side
