Letter From France.
A translated extract from a let
ter received by Mrs. Il. Constantln'
from her brother, who Is a trench
major, from one OF his men created
much interest, since I'VE all IKE
10 hear what is said of us benlnd our
backs" ,.
The letter is as follows: The
American soldiers are splendid. Mar
yolous from any viewpoint. Hand
some morally and physically
know them well, having had the
honor Of leading them on the pat
lie field and OF taking care OF their
wounded and dying.
The Blue Devils, the Foreign lIe-
rion and the Sharp shooters, the
hest soldiers Of France, are dumn-
founded by their courage ana aoll-
ity"
That our boys are more than
worthy Of every confidence that we
can have in them only gives a new
impetus to the sale of Liberty bonds;
for in this way only can the war be
ended and our glorious, victorious
American boys he brought sately
and quickly back home again.

Tulsa Is going over the top at the
rate Of a trifle over 100000 day!

quota more than made up. Seventy
i've teams are securing the city. lf
anyone is not solicited, he is asked

honds-and buy more than you can
really afford, that's the only way to
snow that you are patriot; money
M,ks, and the more you spend for
Liberty bonds. the more 1t says in
your favor.

port by reading the honor roll" and
