letter was that he paid fares for his
son in-iaw and daughter from Port

quite some friction between the
American and British governments.
Mr.. Morrison would like 10 tell the
innocent public that there In un.

WHO WON THE WAR

A TO who won the war--f think

been discussed too often by people
who DID no, take any actual part In
the strife. You don't hear tho boys
