square behind the president in the
present crisis. He was trfle under

weather, The rain last week that fell

ing passed that locality by. He had
received \ letter from his son, First
Sergeant Frank Underwood, OF the
embarking hospital at Camp Stuart,
Virginia. saying that he would not
be home as soon as he had expected
as his commanding officer had held
up his discharge for the reason that
it could not be granted at this time
without serious Inconvenience to the
service, While the delay in getting
home was Disappointing. Mr.. Under
wood. who is an old soldier who has
seen much active service could not
but be proud that his son had made
SO good record in the service of
his country.
