The Knights of Columbus. under the authorization of the government, have established recreation centers at the United States army camps, both at home and in France.
 Nearly S3,OO00O has been raised by the members of the order. The demands have become so heavy that 1t will be necessary to ask the public generally for support.
 The k. of (. centers are open to all army and navy men regardless of creed, the work being purely patrio- tic.
 The collection of funds is being conducted by the order through its councils. There is no expense in connection with this, no paid agents or commissions. The administration of the fund and the war activities is under the officers and clerical staff of the Knights of Columbus, and is not charged against the war fund. The bonded officers. who are now responsible for $8.oO0,000 insurance fund, will handle this money.
 The local campaign for funds is be- ing handled by F. J. Keohane and George T. Stack, grand knight. and financial secretary, respectively, Of the local council, together with Joseph H. Morgan and E.

BREAK THE DULL GLOOM
 OF LIFE AT KEARNY
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

Hany who have returned from Camp Kearny during the past two weeks dwell on one matter of inter, est in that military center, and that is the neglect of friends and relatives to write the soldier boys, which creates the impression that they have gone only to be forgotten.
 A message from home is received with that satisfaction and elation that only the absent one knows, and on the arrival daily of the mail the lona line sees many an anxious one who is eagerly anticipating news from some one at home.
 Observing the disappointment oi several short time ago as they turn ed their backs to return to quarters, said recent arrival, the scene was trying and on the other hand those who were remembered showed by the gleam ir their eyes that the world seemed brighter and with cheery smile tcld the news to the one who had been forgotten. Said an arrival from Kearny a few days ago:
 Army life has passed out of its novelty, and is now of the duh monotony; letter from friend or a bit of tobacco evokes decided expres- sions of pleasure and contentment. I was there when Red Cross packages were freely distributed and it was re- markabl,- to witness the appreciation of the Yavapai boys as each received the silent message of good will from home. Neglect induces homesickness and little bit of personal considera- ton brushes away the gloom. Keep our boys in action with tidings from home. They dispel that feeling oi anxiety and freshen up their dull life. Keep homesickness away from Kearny, and do your bit either by word or deed. The Yavapai boys are making good, and you'll hear from them. But in the meantime let them hear from you"
