MORE HELP NEEDED
FOR TOBACCO FUND
Messages From Soldiers Bring
Thanks and Plea That
Good Work Go On.
SMOKES ARE A NECESSITY
Gifts Continue to Be Sent to
All Points Where Troops
Are Stationed.

Messages from some Of the soldiers
from points In Germany and In eastern
France say that their present excite
ment is "peeling spuds and other house
work. with an occasional spell of guard
duty" They add TO this information a
footnote to the effect that they have
plenty OF time to smoke: more time'
saws one OF them. than stun to smoke"
THIS again shows the necessity for
sending tobacco to the soldiers. Mes
sages OF thanks and appeals that more
tobacco be sent are repeated 80 often
in the soldiers mail which reaches THE
S,s Tobacco Fund and are printed with
so little variation in this column that
perhaps by reiteration they have lost
force 1t Is urged that the good work
keep up. Contributions OF any amount
will be welcomed and gladly acknowl-
edged by the fund.
Many cards come to contributors ex-
pressing thanks for tobacco sent through
the fund. Sergeant +. A. Blanco, Jr.,
