we all meet after we are gone two or
three weeks apart, but believe me /
am always glad to see them. You
do not see any men around here,
only the ones who are too old to &c
to the front. They are all on the
line, but OF all the soldiers I have
seen--I saw almost all kinds they
are none that come up to United
States soldiers and the way they are
going through the German lines
does not look so bad just now.

suppose quite few of the boys
are in training by this time. When
they come over they want to take a
few thousand with them and all the
razor blades and soap they can carry,
as money and those articles are not
very plentiful over here. But its
very easy to get almost any other
thing that one needs, but soldier
does not need very much extra to
carry around on his back he soon
finds out.

Clothes From Peat

A very interesting and economical
" valuable invention. in the field or
"substitute materials" has recently
seen the light In Sweden. A process
has now been perfected there for the
manufacture Of strong textile ma
terial from peat fiber. The inventor
began to study this process 20 years
ago, but, SO far, his methods were nam
pered by the drawback that the pro-
cess of manufacture was much too
costly: he was therefore unable to
turn his idea to any practical use. IN
duccd by the war, however, he resumed
his experiments, and has now at last
succeeded in making dress material
from peat on large scale. These
peat fabrics are somewhat cheaper
than those of artificial wool. and they
are said to be Of great durability. A
factory for the working of the process
Wholesale is about to be erected.
