contributions with the certainty that
3ustifies the title. These subscribers to
The smoke fund. like the fund itself, have
BOT lost their interest in the American
soldiers who are still doing service in
Europe.

efforts have been occasional shown lack
OF interest; whether these are indi-
viduals or explorations who aim to pro-
vide funds for the soldiers smokes by

The mail bag from Germany Is stuffed
with soldiers letters these days, and
some OF them give interesting accounts
of the country where the men are doing
guard duty. A soldier who recently
spent few days on furlough at Coblenz
Immediately you leave Coblenz which
is fiat and aside from the city itself,
uninteresting, you come to rising country
which is capable OF being we'll fortified.
All the roads are now guarded and no
body can pass In or out OF the city
without the proper papers and these
are carefully scrutinized The peasants
coming to Coblenz along these roads
which are under British control have
TO be pretty careful or they could not
get in or out. They are mainly driven
to travel them because they have TO 20
for their rations
All these roads start out of Coblenz
as kind Of hub. II the Germans by
not signing the treaty Of peace have TO
be pushed further back 1t will be easy
for the British army 10 close up on the
roads and drive the people into the in
terror. Every preparation has been
made long time ago for this move
