by over-subscribing and Martinsburg
followed. The latter's quota was
Sf3, 900 and by Wednesday morning a
total of $12,795 had been subscribed
with other localities in this district not

money, he said won the war. He told
many interesting incidents where t he
bows had shown unusual bravery and
he said it was this way with all of
them. Every mothers son who re-
turns to this country is coming back
a better man, a broader and bigger
man, he said. He paid compliment
to the Salvation Army lassies, and
/ their work during the war. Speaking
of religion, he said the American boys
was religious, not in any sectional way
but in a broader and bigger way. He
knew better than anyone else what
the spirit of God meant. Several
thousand more dollars were subscrib-
ed at this meeting to the loan.
The returns to date from the sub
scription of the railroad employees in

His fare and necessary expenses to

Government will also allow him to

is now paying.
His return to civil life will bring
