~ BACKING Off? N

. w.s.s. -
BY the way, Mr.. Bust
ness Man, are you backing
up those home boys who
are in the service or are
you backing of from
them?
Is your place Of bust
ness a War Savings Stamp
Sales Agency? Do you
keep W.S.S. on hand all
the time? DO you try TO
sell these londs for the
Government?
Can you look the faith
ers and mothers Of these
boys squarely in the eyes
and say you are doing ev-
erything you can to help?
There are a good many
stars in the windows in
your town. Some Of them
are going to be turned to
gold by a Hun bullet, Does
that make any difference
TO you?
II you are interested in
your county, if you care
for those boys, then keep
War Savings Stamps in
your store and sell them.
Tell your clerks to politely
suggest the purchase Of a
War Savings Stamp to
their customers.
Try it. You'll see those
bonds being sold if you get
tohind them and try to
sell them.

OF Encounteling Fritz.

American Expeditionary Force.
| September /, 1918.
! Dear Mr. Webb:
Now, don't think l am writing this
during a lull in the firing. for am
glad to say that l am back OF the
third line many miles, in coy lit
/ tie French cottage, resting up. have
been up to the front and have had
the pleasure of paying Fritz my re-
spects, which, L might add, he re-
turned with a much larger
caliber; nevertheless, We argued on
the night of August goth, from 1885
p. m, until 2.20 a. m, to see who
was the better man, but owing to
his out ranging machine gun fire,
with his artillery, we went out of
action and took to our dugouts, safe
ty first We had no casualties on
that night, but old luck was with US.
He even threw over his gas shells
at us, forcing us 10 wear our mask
for about 80 minutes, and still he
was out of luck Oh, this is a great
game when things get warmed up.
You know Fritz has been used to
playing that tackle over play, and
smash the line. when he was play
ing the game against French and
Johnnie Bull but l think he realizes
now that this fellow they call Yankee
is damn good Oh body blocking. l
would like to tell you Just what front
We are on, but it isn't allowed, al
though you people back in the States
read about it every day.
| don't know what front the boys
from Cambridge are occupying, but
L have heard that some of the regi-
ment they are in have had some hard
luck, which made me feel awful sor-
ry, for that regiment was said to be
one of the best that ever sailed from
the shores of America
/ came over with them, but have
been commissioned since 1 came to
France, and am now with machine
Gun Battalion, tut I'm hoping to
meet them somewhere along the
Rhine in few months
This is leaving me in wonderful
health, and thinking of my friends,

LEGAL ADVISORY BOARD
met This MORNING
Large Attendance of Persons VOlun-
teerinS Their Services For This
Work For The Government.

A largely attended meeting of the
persons who had volunteered their
services to help in making out the
questionnaires was held at the Court
House this morning and was attend
ed by almost every lawyer in Cam
bridge, with the exception of two or
three.
The meeting was addressed by
Judge w. Laird Henry, chairman of
the District Draft Board, and Fred
erick H. Fletcher, Esq, chairman of
the Legal Advisory Board. Inas-
much as there are a very large num-
Der of these questionnaires to be fill
ed out, the recent registration being
about fifty per cent. larger than the
first, and in view of the fact that
these questionnaires must be return
ed within seven days from the date
| they are mailed out, there is a great
need for all of the help that can be
secured.
| Recently someone, it is hard to
tell who, started the rumor that the
members of the District Board, Mes
srs. G. Winnie Bradshaw, William H.
Medford and DIR. Guy Steele, were
receiving large salaries for this work
and that they should do it. A more
Infamous rumor could not have been
started, and, apparently, it is a part
of enemy propaganda, for these gen.
tlemen do not receive one cent for
their services on the board, but in
stead are giving their time and labor
eminent win the war in which the
country is engaged.

SEA FORCES CALL
FOR MEN IN DRAFT
Voluntary Induction Into Navy And
Marine Corps, Involuntary if Nee
eSSary.

Washington, Sept 18.-Provost
nounced orders to local draft boards
which will permit the voluntary in
PRODUCTION of draft registrants into
the Navy and Marine Corps and pro-
vide for drafts of men to be assigned
to those services if voluntary Undue
tons do not suffice to fill the demand.
Announcement was also made that
the air service of the army had been
reopened for candidates for commits
sions as pilots, bombers, observers,
and balloonists, as we'll as for the in
duction of mechanics, irrespective OF
status in the draft, after having been
closed, except for a few isolated
classes, for the last six months.
Calls for men for the navy will go
out before the end of this month,
and Marine Corps contingents will
be called within a few weeks. The
order by General Crowder, quoting
sections of the man power law. which
make the term military service in
clude the Navy and Marine Corps,
announces that separate calls hereaf>
ter will be issued to secure men for
all divisions of the service. State
quotas will be allotted to fill the ma
rine and naval requirements.
After a call has been issued, Ma
rine Corps and navy recruiting Off
GERS may ask for the voluntary in
| duetion of men to fill the call. If
the total is not secured by that meth
cd, the boards will order sufficient
| men forward to make up the quota.
The men will be modified and trans
| ported in the same manner as are
those of the National Army. Men
, responding either to the induction or
call method will be counted upon the
States quota as having been furn-
ished for the nations military needs.
Physical qualifications are slight
! ly higher for naval needs, and the
| order directs that local boards shall
select no man for the navy who can
not use fully the English language
and who has not a complete status
as a citizen of the United States.
| Special calls for men having tech
nical or educational qualifications
for the navy will also be issued from
time to time These will be filled by
local boards in the same manner as
army calls have been filled, with pro-
vision for voluntary induction.

KEEP YOUR LIBERTY
BONDS FOR A RAINY DAY

Our boys in the army and navy have
consecrated their lives to the winning
of the war. You have supported them
by buying Liberty Bonds. Their en-
listment continues until their work is
accomplished The enlistment of your
dollars should continue until at least
such time as your government no
longer needs your aid in helping to
pay the cost of the war. Our boys at
the front in the service of their gov
eminent have never quit. If you sell
your Liberty Bonds you quit at a
time when the government needs your
continued support Every time you
quit by selling your Liberty Bonds
you hurt the credit of your govern
ment and make it more difficult to
finance the war. The cost of the war
continues until peace is signed and
our gallant boys are brought back to
American soil.
Hold your Liberty Bonds. Don't ex-
change them for merchandise or for
other securities which may be worth
less. Don't sell them except under
pressure of necessity Keep them in a
safe place or have them registered TN
your name.
Hold fast to your Liberty Bonds and
be prepared for rainy day" which
may come to ALL There is no invest
ment safer than a United States gov
eminent bond.

TREE PROGRAM
WILL BE HELD
AT 4:30 TODAY
Community Christmas Tree Exercises
Abandoned On Tuesday Owing To
Bad Weather-GaIe of Wind
and Snow.

The community Christmas tree ex-
ercises planned for Tuesday after
noon between 4:30 and o'clock, were
abandoned owing to weather condi-
tions. The first real storm of the sea-
son began arriving in gusts of wind
Monday night, turning to a regular
northwest blizzard during Tuesday
and continuing all day. 1t was found
impossible owing to the conditions to
stage the program, which had been
deliberately arranged for the people
The tree had been set in place and
wired before the storms fury reached
its height, but it was determined that
it would be folly to attempt to carry
out the exercises, the greater portion
of which consisted of musical and vo-
cal numbers.
The committee in charge decided to
hold the program this afternoon be-
ginning at 4:30 o'clock Santa Claus
will appear in all his spiendor at 5: 15
o'clock at the conclusion of the regu-
lar musical program.
The News goes to press early to-
day in order to advertise the change
made necessary, and also to give the
carrier boys and office force chance
to view the entertainment.

PLAN TO RESUME
STATE LEAGUE BALL,
THE COMING SEASON
Former Captain II. w. krOnitz Says
That Was the Understanding
When Central State League De-
cided to Withdraw Last Year.

That there will be organized base
ball in Watertown the coming season
is the prediction of former Captain II.
w. Kronitz, who a day or two ago de-
clared that when the Central State
League decided to discontinue ball
during the 1918 season it was with
the understanding that it would be
resumed after the war ended, and as
that condition has arisen, in all prob
ability the cities forming the old as
ISOLATION will be brought together
again, if not all of the old ones at
least most of them
Baseball, however, was not entirely
discontinued during 1918, city league
occupying the park and keeping good
local timber in condition for faster
company than was afforded during
the past season, so that when Water
town enters the league next year it
will have some good players to draw
from and whip into line.
