SOLDIER LETTERS
A Word From the Tanker Tomcats

A few lines to my friends of good
old Southern Oregon, as to the great
progress of the tank corps.

Seattle, was inducted at Grants Pass,

Pa, where I spent five days in quar-
antine, or Casual Company, where
a severe examination was given,
physically and mentally, but the best
of ali was that lovely "three-in-one'
in the arm. The sixth day my name
was called on for transfer, which
made me feel hundred per cent
fine, for believe me, Casual Com

That about-face, to the rear,
march, squads right or left about,

old stuff now. We have all that
down pat, but the main question
now is what are they going to do
with us overseas? There are twelve
battalions Of tank corps. Today We
had review early in the morning,
that is, of the entire tank corps. Our
battalion, that is, the 334 and 333,
were picked out to be the best. Guess
who won? We did, of course, the
best out of twelve battalions. l wish
you could have seen our company

Forgetting is q strange phenom-

chologists. We are most apt to forget
those things that we do not want to
remember-especially those Of which
we are ashamed.
In an address on criminals who
are on the border line OF insanity,
delivered recently before the Clinical
Society of st. Elizabeth Hospital
Washington, DR.. Leon Emile Duval
told of many mentally unbalanced
men who in their normal state could
not remember disgraceful deeds they
had done, and said this was to be
explained on the basis that LIT is
the thing Of which we are ashamed
and which conflicts with the customs
Of society which is soonest relegated
to the realm of the unconscious"

Sumter Watchman:
Cole Blease is grotesQue
creature and addicted to irreverent
and sacrilegious comparisons in his
public harangues. On more than one
occasion he has compared himself
with shocking and sacrilegious i'm
piety to Jesus Christ. and the other
day at Yorkville he attempted to
draw an analogy between his Pro-
Germanism and disloyalty to the
governments war policy, and the
course Of Robert E. Lee in opposing
secession in 1861. We have often
heard Of stealing the livery Of heav-
en- to serve the devil in, but it ne
mained for Cole L. Blease to demon
starate with brazen effrontery this
form of larceny. Robert E. Lee and
Cole L. Blease are as far apart as
the poles. as different as heaven and
hell, and no one realizes this more
fully than Blease himself. but he dis
counts the intelligence of the people
and imagines that he has them hood

have been rendered necessary by the

up to 25 pounds, but not more than d
pounds will be sold to any one per.

1t is necessary, In order 70 obtain

chaser pledges himself to use the
sugar so obtained for canning and pre-.
serving purposes only. and to return
to the dealer any portion of the sugar
not used for such purpose. Dealers
will strictly enforce this rule.
The public is urged by the Food Ad.
ministration to save every possible
spoonful Of sugar. There Is none to
waste. AS a matter of fact. the sugar
situation Is serious. Cuban deliveries
have been shorter than were expected
Consumption has been larger. Sub.
