 Dear Harry: This is some town and the people certainly treat us fine. There are service clubs all over town where they have movies, eats and soft drinks for us.
 The club rooms here are fine and I was sure made to feel at home. It has been raining all day and you know how these days are.
 I'll be able to get something in a couple of weeks now, as my company was notified this morning that we would leave within forty-eight hours. I'll let you know my address lover there" as soon as I know what it is myself.
 Give my regards to all the fellows at the club.

MISS KATHERINE TEALE
 HAS INGENIOUS WAY OF
 TELLING ABOUT FRANCE

L. M. Teale received letter from his sister Katherine last Wednesday from Somewhere in France" telling him that they would shortly leave for the front.
 The letter bore the date of July 1st and had been good deal longer in transit than usual. Miss Teale by her ingenious letter writing is able to have her letters come through un- changed by the censor and by building from one letter to another tells a great deal to the folks at home about the country in which she is laboring, although should any one of these let ters fall into enemy hands, they would be able to tell nothing by it's contents.
