recent poems published on poster,
very artisticalIy decorated by Mr..
George NJ. Stone. Miss Herren read
her poem, Don't Bring French Girl
Back at the meeting at the tent
yesterday afternoon 1t was written
especially for the cantonment at San
Diego. Cal, where Miss Herren gave
an original program before the sol
diers. People who have read this
poem by Miss Herren tl1nk that the
advice is probably just what the boys
in France need. Every country is go |
ing to need all the men it will have
left after the war and if many of the
American men marry French girls of
course some of them will remain in
Europe. Miss Herren said when she
wrote it she had no such idea in view,
but she would be doubly glad if her
little poem could be of service to the
United States government. An effort
is going to be made to get these pos
ters before the American soldiers in
France.
Word has been received of the safe
arrival overseas of Capt. Albert NJ.
Dawson. Mrs. Dawson and the chill
dren have returned home after several
months stay at Camp Pike and Camp
Dix with Captain Dawson.
