LudlOig Writes Interesting Letter Of Associates dI,d
 What Is Doing OUerseas

George ". Luwdig, formerly a well known resident of Bisbee. but now a captain in the Red Cross eryice in France, has written the following in- teresting letter to relatives in the east who forwarded it to his friend, Frank E. Bennett, chief clerk of the Bisbee Improvement company:
 T have at last got settled, and am at work and can assure you l like 1t better every day The men one works with are the best America can pro duce. as I will explain later. As to what l am doing: France is divided into nine zones, each one has head quarters and handles all the actiyi- ties within their district. Ours con- sists of II states nown as the South Intermediate Zone" The chief IS Zone Manager" Ours is Maj. Nathan Hale of San Francisco, Cal, who nows Mir. Filene very well. He has a chain of department stores on the Pacific coast and is one of the best and most able men I have ever met.
 Assistant manager, Captain Coul- ston. president of the First National bank of Pasadena, Cal, is also a fine man. Dr. (captain) Bailey of Beacon street, Boston, one of the most noted T. B. specialists in the country, has charge of the medical department. Capt G. W. Ludwig of Boston and Bisbee, whom you know, is dNector Of the bureau of supplies, stores, ware houses and all transportation. Some job, and I believe I am going to pull through, although I have one of the hardest jobs in this zone, as there never was any warehouse system nor every any places to store goods here before However, have the transpOrta- tion department we'll in hand now and have installed a system and opened a new garage last week. Cannot tell you how many machines we have in this one as I do not know yet. Am finding them every day. However, there seems to be plenty of them.
 q am now completing acquisitions for supplies for the entire one. This one will be one of the busiest in France. as we handle the majority of refugees and I.tell you when you talk Red Cross," remember to tell people that handling them means that we are giving them a first start, with cloth ing, furniture and many other things to assist them in earning their living Also, we have the largest number of children here, Lyon being the chief station of childrens' institutions in France We have all kinds, and it would do your heart good to see how happy they are. The older ones are taught and even sing in English. We have here a Miss Pearce, who is an instructor in dancing, and to see these children performing on a Sunday aft

 Private Blair is from Tucson.
 Waldo White Of Yuma, who is with the 15Sth infantry in France. in writ ing to his father, C. M. White, at Yuma, says:
 "The Y. NJ. c. A man caught up with us yesterday (the regiment was evidently advancing at the fron) and says that as soon as the front line is supplied that he can get truck Of to- bacco for us. The supply department was very prompt in getting grub to us and good American food was cer- tainly welcome after eating English chow for so long. Tobacco and matca- es cannot be had in the village and when we ask for candy the people throw up their hands"
 Russell Meadows of Douglas. writ ing to his brother, Dr. Feland Mea- dows, also of Douglas, had this to say:
 At noon l went to the Y. M c. A. for dinner. For four and half francs 1 was served with fried eggs, beans, potatoes, cocoa, lemon custard and ice cream" (Think of this at that price in France where there are few eggs, ice is almost unObtainable and all food costly) Continuing Corporal Mea- dows writes:
 "The stores all close from 12 to p. m., so after dinner l went up stairs and out on the porch where they serve ice cream and spent a while there. It is useless to say that l enjoyed the ice cream for it was the first I had eaten since leaving New York" Sergeant MOffatt Dean, formerly of 1 Tucson, but now with headquarters de- tachment, 164th F. A brigade, A. E. F. in France, writes his Dearest Moth CT" at Tucson:
 Last Sunday 1 went down to BOrde- aux on a tour or, rather, an education al sightseeing trip, and l sure had a dandy The " there has in- stituted a tour and one of the mem bers takes you around and explains all these things to you"
 This is a side light on another ''Y'' activity 10 help and make our boys in France happy and contented.
 Bert J. Coffeey of Kingman, writing his sister and mother. tells of a Y. M. c. A. hut for French and American soldiers, saying:
 q am writing this in a French and American Y. M. c. A. and there is a French sergeant who can sure play on the piano. He happens to be playing Dixie at this minute and what l mean, it sure sounds good to me. Most of the boys are singing and who can't are whistling"

John Ertle is most likely beginning
TO perk UP these days now that he sees

however, that Pete Herman, who Is
now generally regarded as the champ
OF the bantams, Is somewhat heavier
than any bantam has a right to be

mis- fights he has insisted that his OPP

he makes catch weights himself This
Ia a champions privilege, but there's y
no denying that Herman has been
weighing quite "A bit more than "A

doubtful II Herman could even make
IFS pounds and be strong. More
