How Does Davy Know?

David Lawrence Objects to having
Secretary Bakers time wasted by
giving testimony before the Senate

that # the country could read the

members.
Tie implication, of course. is that
Day i'd Lawrence has read this record
which he wishes the country could
read. and the natural inquiry is: How
did David get hold Of it" 1t has been
well known that there arc certain fair
haired boys among the correspondents
at Washington to whom all government
hearts are open and from whom no
official secrets are hid; and maybe
David is among these favored ones.
But he is unwise to boast OF it. Some
committee Of Congress-may be this

criticises-may summon him to testify

activities at Camp Devens where the
10Th division is stationed. He pre-
pared this program for the soldiers at
Camp Devens as a means OF determin-
ing the relative athletic calibre Of the
companies in the division. Each man
was required to pass in eight Of the
tests to obtain positive mark of his
unit. He says:
Besides showing the excellent physi-
cal condition OF the soldiers, the test
demonstrated the value of sound ath-
letic training in eauipping a man for
military service. When some of these
men came to camp they could barely
raise 60-pound weight from the
ground let alone lifting it above the
head with one hand and they would be
gasping for breath after running a
block. But fresh air. clean living,
nutritious food, hard work, exercise
and last but not least, athletics. have
brought about a marvellous change and

Dear Friends:
Just q few lines to thank you and
the NJ. l. S. for the nice presents. l
can tell YOU the stockings came in nice
and handy for us boys. We have a
hard time to keep our feet warm and
dry.
This is q great old place, just like
the pictures you see in the papers of
old French villages with their funny
stone houses. The world over here in
this particular section is about one
hundred wears behind. There is moth
ing modern here. Everything is old
and awfully out Of date.
1t would seem funny to you to see
the way the farming is done. They
will perhaps have horse and a steer
harnessed together and always one
ahead of the other.
Give my regards to all the folks and
tell them ! often think of them. Write
often as it is good to hear from the
folks back home.
From your friend in France,
