But the VI. L. Officer Barely Mentions
Ii In His Letter.

In a letter to his wife Lieutenant
Hitler McC. Burrowes. a former teach
er of English in the University, writes
from Italy:
You see that at last l am on my
| long expected leave. I started from
Is-sur-Tille on Friday, going to Dion
right after dinner. Friday night l
saw LIE Jongleur de Notre Dame at
the small local opera house; then /
took a train little after midnight.
The train was late for Marseille. OF
course the express was terribly crowd
ed: l stood, or sat on my suitcase or
on the floor, all the way to Marseille,
which we reached just after noon.
1T was not a comfortable journey
for man with a weak knee, and one
who was just coming out from the
flu besides. Well, we pulled out of
MarSeille in an hour or so,. and again
no seat was available; got to Nice
at O'Clock that evening. | took prac-
tically the first hotel could locate.
Il shall leave tomorrow or Friday
at the latest, and go up to Marseille;
see that great city for a day; take a
day 10 run out to see Ramer at Mira
mas, and go on back to Is-sur-Tille,
possible cutting my lawful seven days
TO six.
Il never realized just how hard /
did work this summer and fall until /
stopped working The hours have been
long; | have felt the responsibility
keenly. | have known only too well
that a matter of few hours difference
in time in dispatching a carload of
machine guns might mean delay in the
entrance of an entire division into ac-
ton. or its entrance improperly equip
ped. And sometimes the consequences
of such a fault are terrible to contem-
plate. | had only to think of my
brother, Robert. and of Dan to have
the responsibility strike home to me
most heavily
For example, one night at a quar-
ter of five a man ran up to me: We've

troops, a whole carload Can't we
get them out tonight? We got them
out within forty minutes. but | had

"CHINK- OBJECTIONABLE FOR USE
Millard's Review Outlines List of
"DOn'tS" for Use Among Chinese.

Here are a few "don'ts" for ust
among the Chinese. selected from {
long list published by Millard's Re
view:
Don't say "Ch'nck' unless you
are trying to make enemies.
Don't imagine that all Chinese
women bind their feet or that all
Chinese men wear queues. Modern
Chinese are discarding these things
just as modern American women are
ceasing to wear hobble skirts and
American men to wear peg-top trous-
ers.
Don't ask your Chinese friend if
he eats rats and dogs. 1t will please
him just about as much as it would
please an American to ask him if he
ate snakes and tOads.
Don't try to make persons believe
that you know all about China just
because you have visited Chinatown
in San Francisco. Shanghai or Hong
kong. They are no more like the real
