The theory that small states and ma

by history. Even prior to the war

Newspaper men, magazine men, lit

lea interested in catching the spirit
of the Yank invasion of Europe should
by all means read copies of that
great voice of the American expedition

Letters from pals and relatives paint
little intimate tableaux Of the extraor-

but few copies of the Stars and
Stripes can rear an atmosphere which
hundreds of excellent letters could not
begin to comprise. The editors, by
their work, show that they are regular
