SOLDIERS ADHERE
LOYALTY TO MOTTO

"A wise old owl sat on an oak.
THE more he heard, the less he spoke,
The less he spoke, the more he heard,
"AIl soldiers initiate that bird"
This is the motto placed before the
American soldiers in France and the
soldiers believe in the motto and ad-
here strictly to its teachings. This is
why there is so little information con-
tanned in the letters received from
the soldier boy in France. This lis
why so few of the letters written by
the soldiers boys show the marks of
the censor.
