Private Hopkins Explains

Soldiers of General Pershing's ex
peditionary force who undesignedly
raised rumors that American Red
Cross or its representative -hac
been selling sweaters and other
articles to the troops, are hasten
ing to correct the false impression.
A careful investigation made by
the Red Cross clearly establishes
the fact that there is no basis for
any such charge.
A cablegram states that Lieuten-
ant H A. Deesback, of the 10th
American Expeditionary force, has
obtained the following signed copy
of letter from Oscar B. Hopkins,
Co. &, 10th Infantry, to Mrs.
Minerva Allison, dated February
II 1918:
II am writing a line to correct a
statement regarding letter wrote
you November IA, 1917, concern
ing the Red Cross. In thought
less moment I wrote that the Red
Cross charges two prices for things
they sold Us; but as a matter of
fact l have never known them to
sell anything to anyone. l am in
deed sorry that my thoughtlessness
caused this and I want you to show
this letter to any of the Red Cross
workers and offer my apologies
Reports concerning the alleged
sale of sweaters were contained in
letters written to relatives by

In Memory of BERTHE

You ask me why am silent,
And tears are>in my eyes:
Look yonder at that new-made grave
Wh"rc my dear BERTHE lies
Buried beneath the daisies,
My darling is at rest
Do you wonder, kind friends,
Why sorrow fills my breast?
Cur home is sad and lonely
Since Bertie's gone away,
We hope to meet you darling
Where tears are wiped away
Some day the silver cord will break,
Then we shall see her face to lace.
And dwell in that bright home above
Where all is peace and JOY and love

THE GREAT WAR HAS MADE
CIGARETTES A NECESSITY.

"Our boys must have their smokes.
Send them cigarettes!" This is a
familiar appeal now to all of US.
Among those most in demand is
the now famous toasted" cigarette
LUCKY STRIKE. Thousands of this
favorite brand have been shipped to
France. There is something home
like and friendly to the boys in the
sight of the familiar green packages
with the red circle.
This homelike, appetizing quality
of the LUCKY STRIKE cigarette is
largely due-to the fact that the Burley
tobacco used in making it has been
toasted. 'It's toasted" was the "slo-
gan" tl,&l made a great success of
LUCKY STRIKE in less than a year.
Now the American Tobacco Co. is
