Letters by the Millions.

The Bureau Of War RiskInsurance
at Washington received and answered
tour million letters during the first
SIX months of this year, and the
stream OF mail iS unceasing. A great
deal x2Als is occasioned by fail
uf AZ hdents to write legibly,
to give e4lc1f names s.nd addresses, to
furnish all the information required
for speedy and accurate attention to
their cases. Every conceivable form
OF handwriting reaches the bureau.
and many times handwriting experts
are unable to identify signatures.
The body of letter may be perfectly
leglble, but the name signed is often
susceptible of many guesses.
The bureau has received thousands
upon thousands Of letters with i'm
perfect names and addresses, thou
sands of unsigned letters, thousands
OF letters containing insufficient in
formation on which to base settle
ment or adjustment of a claim or
award. In writing to the bureau,
write plainly and legibly and furnish
all necessary information. Better
too much information than too little.
A former service man writing to
the bureau should give his name in
full-frst, last and middle name:
his rank and organization at the time
Form 1B" was filled in or at the
time the insurance application was
made; his present home address and
also his former address, if the address
has been changed; his army serial
number; the first, middle and last

A LOUISIANA REGIMENT.
One Created to Be Known as Seventh
Louisiana Infantry.

One regiment of the United States
regular army has been made entirely
Ia Louisiana with Arkansas and Mis-
Isouri, and all regiments of the Third
Division, now located permanently at
Camp Pike, Arkansas, are to be re-
cruited from either Louisiana or one
of the two states named, according tc
Major r. B. Lovett of Camp Pike,
who has been charged by army Of
|ficials, with the duty of maintaining
relation between the. civilian public
and the army in this section. The
Seventh United States Infantry, a
regiment that had big part in the
famous battle of New Orleans, is the
organization that is to be S'Louisi-
ana's Own" in the future, and the
regiments that will be shared with
Arkansas and Missouri are the Eight
teenth Field Artillery and Sixth En-
gineers. The authority for this state
ment is contained in an announce
ment from Secretary of War Baker,
which further states that each of the
the regiments of the regular army has
been allocated certain state or dis
trict from which it will draw it's re-
cruits, primarily.
The plan to send men of each state
to particular regiments of the new
army, and to make that regiment. a
representative of the state, was
made policy of the war department
for the purpose of "creating a bond
of sympathy between the people of
the state and the units to which its
citizens go according to the announce
ment, which further states the new
army is based on the principle that it
must be a typical American institu-
tion, not apart from the people, but
actually part of the people by and
for whom it exists
The army units assigned to the
three states are announced as fol-
lows:
Louisiana-Seventh Infantry Regi-
ment, Eighteenth Field Artillery Reg
lment, Sixth Engineer Regiment.
Arkansas-Thirtieth Infantry Reg
lment, Tenth Field Artillery Regi-
