 GO0D FEATURES
 OF WAR RISK ACT

The local board yesterday received a letter from Secretary McAdoo calling attention to the war risk insurance act, saying every man who 'nins the colors of his country is entitled to know just what the government will do to protect his loved ones at home and to safe- guard his own future.
 Tt is our plain duty" the letter reads, ito acquaint Americas fighting forces with the far sighted and hu- mane provisions of the war risk insur- ance act. The knowledge of these pro- visions will hearten our defenders and strengthen that spirit at home and at the front which is indispensable to victory.
 Many of the problems before your | board can be met by full appreciation of the spirit and letter of the war risk insurance act.
 Government insurance for our | fighting men g not an obligation, but an opportunity. The time within which men can avail themselves of this op- portunity is strictly limited by law. Prompt action is imperative. 1 wish to emphasize the vital importance of conveinS this message to the men themselves, so that they will be in formed and therefore prepared to take the full government protection as soon as they reach camp"
 What Act Provides
 The act provides: For the support during the war of the families and de- pendents of enlisted men; certain pro- portions of pay to be withheld from the man and ~aid directly to the fami- lies or dependents or for insurance, ol for other pur~ nSes. The allotment oi deposit of one-half of the pay may be required in all cases. In addition tC all allotments of pay by the men, the United States will pay monthly allow ances to wife, children and certain de , pendents.
 For the protection of officers and en. listed men and their dependents iron ! hazards of disease. injury or death Monthly payments for disability anC death due to injury or disease incurred in the line of duty.
 Insurance is provided by the United | States upon application and paymen of premium, without medical examina ton, against total permanent disa bilit! : and death. The premium will be a 3 normal peace rates without loading and the United States will bear tn extra cost due to war service. Provi . sion is made for the continuation o l the insurance after leaving the service

marching TO the rear Of our lines. I
lost quite q few OF my friends on this
front and especially one fellow from
Railway who wac at Camp DIX and
Camp Greene with me, and who told
me he would be with me after the
war in Railway and Perth Amboy.
Since then I have lost quite q bunch
of other good friends among mem
being one fellow from Perth Amboy
and two from Elizabeth who also
vse with me for quite a while. /
have also heard OF quite a bunch OF
our Amboy fellows dying on the Field
of Honor, among them being two or
three boys from the Dublin section
of the city.
On September Is. a short while
after we came from the st. Milne
and told to get my pack
ready and that l was transferred to
the Central Record Office In Bourges.
1 left with about fourteen other fell
lows from my division and Travelled q
good time and had good eats.
When we got here, after a short
rest we were put to work In the office
where there is about two thousand
working. / have q good job here
good oficers, good eats and a good
place to sleep In. We go to town
about tour times a week, a fellow from
Highbridge and myself. This town
has a wonderful Cathedral which is
very old and which I must get q pic
ture of before l leave France.
Now, that you might as well say
that the war is over. and the hun Is
beaten, 1 hope the next place that ]

from Camp Merritt to hat good old
town in Jersey. Perth Amboy. where
/ xpect to live the rest of my life

we lasted in this city for a couple
of weeks and on June IL entered our

we started to move to q little village

Dear Father,
AS this is Fathers Day. We were
all given an hour in which to write
o letter home to tell them of our adj
ventures in France.
Well, to begin with, 1 left Camp
Merritt on Monday morning April Is,
1918, to go down to the transport.
We got on the transport Gear about
noon the same day. When L was get
ting on / met a fellow from Anna
dale, s. l., who said he had visited
Perth Amboy quite a few times. He
was doing guard duty, I'm civilian
clothes. On April 1e, at about noon,
our ship left the shores of the u. $. A.
and we were not permitted to come
up on deck until we were quite a way
out from shore. We had some pretty
good days and some pretty bad ones
on the ocean. ] was with Company
l. Of the 61st u. s. Infantry when I
came across and had to do subma-
rine guard.
On Sunday morning, the 2sth of
April, we saw first sight of land. 1t
was at Brest. We were taken up to
Napoleon's old barracks where we
stayed for three days. On tho fourth
day we got ready for q three days
ride on a train. We had forty men in
what we call, in tho States, a box car.
After travelling on the train for three
days and getting cheered as we pass
ed through the towns of France, we
landed in Bar-Sur-Aube, a very nice
place, but we only stayed for abort
an hour here and then we started on
about a ten mile hike and stopped at
u place called C%ovingon, in which
place we stayed about six weeks.
While at this village 1 was ans
ferred to the Machine Gun Company
of the 61st Infantry. While in this
company l met a fellow from South
Amboy, n from Chrome, one from
Port Reading, one from Metuchen.
and two from New Brunswick. Well,
after hiking, drilling and doing every
thing that we had to do. we o
from Coyingon on Decoration Day to
a place called Blyny. While I was In

sonnet officer wanted to see me about
a clerical job. After doing all the
travelling I have mentioned I did not
care to be taken away from my many
friends / had made In the machine
gun company without seeing some ac-
ton with them, but to my hearts
desire / found that the position was
not ready at once. So I proceeded
with the machine gunners.
We lasted about two days in Blyny
