Tobacco Fund and to tho fund itself.
When the cards OF the former are en-
closed with a package Of cigarettes or
smoking tobacco the soldiers are keen
TO send their thanks direct to the con-
tributors, but when these are missing
they address the fund. In either case the
fund takes care that the donors get their
reward.
b. j. Lester of Company E. Twenty
sixth Infantry. writes as follows from
Heilenrod. Germany:
"weli. well, here THE SUN is again
and very welcome, too. Some of us who
don't expect to get back to the States
until Germany has published all her
books to prove that China started the
war were wondering II our own folks
would get busy and send US something
TO smoke when our old faithful gets on
the job again. Thank you. SUN Tobacco
Fund.
and speaking of the way our wives
and sweethearts do not send US tobacco
how are they to account for their re-
missness when we get back home? The
way we account for II is this: When
we were first over here and begging for
tobacco in the shape we liked 1t, wives
and sweethearts could not get any across
owing to the stringent postal regulations.
Then we depended entirely on THE SUN,
and 1t did its duty wonderfully when
you consider how big was the family II
catered to. Now that the regulations are
somewhat relaxed our relatives have got
out of the way of trying to get tobacco
over to US and still leave It to THE SUN
to do. It's all right, for THE SUN To-
,bacco Fund can be relied on"
-Some day after the States go dry !
expect to be homo again." writes ".

there and then 1 shall be able to pro-

ceived those you sent and thoroughly en-
joyed myself yesterday"

Seine to the Machinery Club, saying

Corporal Glenn w. Feahey of Com.
pany E, Twenty-sixth Infantry. writes
to the smoke fund that he received a
large number of cigarettes on May g.
adding:
Whatever you hear you may take II
from me that there is dearth of smok-
ing stun in the Army OF Occupation

the big fighting without n scratch and

time that I have shared in the good
work OF THE SUN Tobacco Fund and !
wish to thank THE SUN for the many
hours that your most generous dona-
lions of tobacco have afforded me and
many of the boys by my side. I do
not think there Is anything that could
probation Of the kindness you have
shown us"
