&, War Found Time 70 Play Little
Jokes on Ood.

The Yankee spirit In the midst Of
the carnage and travatls' Of war IL
exemplified In a letter written two
weeks before the signing Of the armis-
dee to Edwin G. Brandenburg, for
mer president of the Washington
board Of trade, by his son, Sergt
Milton F. Brandenburg, who has been
in France a year. Dark forebod-
ings flashed through the mind Of the
father as he read through the epistle
until he came to the last sentence.
The letter reads:
81 dislike very much to have to
write this letter to you, but the time
has come when I must ask your ad-
vice on a matter of great Importance
to me, the complication Of which has
caused me nights Of restlessness and
many a day of anxiety.
"You will understand when I tell
you that many happy home has been
wrecked, and in fact even human
lives upset by similar troubles, and
that is why l haven't written you
about it before, but now I feel that
you should know at once, as it means
such a great deal to me.
even though l am in France, dare
not communicate the state Of my
mind to any of my friends here, so
go to you. know l am asking q
good deal of you, but your loyalty
more than warrants it and I am 60
ing to ask you and expect you to tell
me from deep down in your big heart
If you think that jeff will ever be as
tall as Mutt?'
