THEY PLAYED THE
 GAME OF WAR ALWAYS

Base Hospital, Vichy, France. Editor Coconino Sun.
 Dear Sir:
 Having been a member of the 15Sth infantry for about two years, was just wondering if the people of Ari- zona would like to know what the boys have done over here. l will say they had just as good men and as well trained as any other regiment in France Enclosed is clipping from one of the Paris papers:
 l5Sth INFANTRY BAND
 ENTERTAINED PRESIDENT
 The 15Sth infantry band furnished the music at the banquet given by Ambassador Sharp in honor of Pres ident Wilson on Tuesday evening. The musicians were highly complimented by the President and the other guests
 Probably this will be the last time that this band will play on such an occasion, as it expects to rejoin its regiment and will return to the Unit ed States. PVT. B. F. GRIFFIN.

 The speaker was representative fess of Ohio. He went on:

Our Consistent Orthography

A Chicago man was walking through a foreign quarter of his city when, with an amused smile, he stopped in front of small eating place, on the window of which was painted in white Lam Stew"
 Now the proprietor happened to be standing in the doorway, and when he saw the smile of the gentleman who stopped in front of his place he asked to be favored with an explanation of the joke.
 Whereupon the other explained about the missing ''b" in lamb," and the proprietor accepted the correction in good part, at the same time ex- pressing his thanks. When next the Chicago man passed that estaurant he found that the me- nu had been changed, but that the les son in orthography had not been for gotten. The proprietor was now off, fering "Clamb Chowder."

Wealth must ever be served with youth. Growing old and hair turned gray, placed in a commanding position on account of it's success in the financial world, the love and sweetheart of yesteryear are for com panionship only. For its diversion and its entertainment, youth, life, friv- olity, gayety, to replace in it's system what the years have taken out. The world will always look upon it as le- gitimate, for doesn't it represent wealth?
 But the girl? What of her? The system does not provide for her flu. ture. She is pictured with a hue of scarlet and ever associated with the underworld. That is what is pictured what is visualized in the most import ant photoplay document of all time ""The Struggle Everlasting in which Florence Reed is featured, supported
The Coconino sun., 1919-01-24

by an all-star cast, headed by Milton Sills and Irving Cummings.
 Here is a play that will make you think, that will impress you with its sincerity of purpose. Picture wealth plundering youth for its most precious objects, then think of Lois, played by Florence Reed, like puppet queen, crowned in gayety by the elements that make and unmake the career of a woman, pausing to decide between the inclinations of her mind, her body and her soul. She realizes that she can not always remain young, and then came a change to her mind that must sooner or later, come to all those who accept the emptiness of tempora- ry joy for the fullness of permanent purpose. For her answer, and YOUR answer, see "The Struggle Everlast- ing" when it is shown at the Orpheum theatre Sunday, Matinee and Night.

WRITES INTERESTING
 LETTER TO HIS MOTHER

DeCelnDer 10, Ioio. Dear Mother and All:
 Another of my few and far between letters to let you know where l am, and how l am getting along.
 am not on the Quinnebang now. It has already sailed for the States, and all the regulars were transferred to this naval base and the reserves went back to the States on her. She will land in New York on Xmas day if they do not head into storm.
 Will be here for about another year, as we will soon be put on mine sweep CTS and have to sweep the whole North Sea.
 The squadron l was in laid between between 70 and 80 thousand mines, and it took six months to lay them, so it will surely take that long to sweep them. They are laid in the shape of triangle, from the east coast of Scotland to the west coast of Norway.
 We'll, I sure am proud to say that I have taken part in lots of action. Was at the taking over of the German navy. l was on a destroyer at the time. It sure was grand sight to see those mighty German battleships steaming up to the American and British navy, with their white flags flying. Every American and British ship had their gun crews at their guns and every gun was trained on Ger man ship so if they would have tried any of their crooked tricks they would be down in Davy Jones' locker new.
 Just received the papers Esther sent telling about the death of Ray Carlos and Mark Moore at the capture of Sedan. Sure was too bad that they lost their lives in the last few days of the war, after going through the bat tie of the Marne. The people of Flag sure should be proud of them to think they lost their lives for hu- manity's sake.
 The naval base am at now is away up in Northern Scotland, at Ivaness. It sure is cold here, the sun rises about 10 and sets at 3:30, so you can | imagine how cold it is.
 We'll, mother, l will not be able to send any of you folks anything for Xmas on account of the duty, but have several things that l will bring back in my sea bag.
 We'll, as there isn't much news here I will have to close, hoping that everyone has Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year.
 Love and kisses to all.
