"The matter of TRANSFORMATION is a
big problem and we took no chances
for disappointment in connection with
serving the men in Pershing's Army of
Occupation, but increased our motor
fleet by the addition of fifty motor
cycles with side-car attachments, fifty
Ford "canmionettes'' and ten big
trucks. These, in addition to our reg
ular motor service, will insure delivery
of all K. of G. supplies to Pershing's
Army of Occupation.

mas week forty-five X. of G. roller
kitchens will be kept busy serving hot

secretaries here, and at all other de-
barkation points, meet every transport
returning from Europe and hand each
soldier a double postcard, half of
which contains message of their ar
rival for their relatives, and this, after
a soldier signs it, is mailed imme-
diately by the Knights. The remain
ing postcard, after the men fill out
certain questions, is sent to knights
of Columbus Councils in cities where
the men reside with the request that
steps be Immediately taken to provide
employment for those who expect to
be mustered out of service in the i'm
mediate future. In this way, it is
hoped that big majority of the men
will have jobs awaiting them when
they arrive home.

my Dear Pal:
Many changes have taken place
since l left you in the front line over
two months ago, for the war is over
now and you must be lonesome up
there without the whiz-bangs and ma
chine guns to entertain you.
AFTER l left the hospital, they gave
me a bomb proof job here in Paris,
and it would be lonesome for me, too,
II it were not for the Knights of Co
lumbus Club here at 27 Boul. Male
