THE NEWS is often requested to
print letters from the soldier boys
over in France and in the army camps
in this country which contain moth
| ing of interest to the general pub
lie, though they are quite interesting
| to the ones at home. When we do
publish letters we aim to omit all
these tender passages which only re-
| fer to family affairs. If you have let
ters which give good descriptions of
the country and people over there, in
cidents of personal experience and
such things, as are of general inter-
est, then we will be glad to publish
them.
