I BELIEVE the papers of this

paign to raise money so a wife
who doesn't have ways and
means of transportation could
visit her husband at camp.
l believe the railroad COM
panies would reduce their fares
in cases like that.
It would stop a lot of AWOL
cases in the army. 1t would also
raise a soldiers morale.
Mr.. Editor. / don't know what
you think of this letter, but 1
would like you to print ii in your
paper and get the public's reac-
ton.
1 myself was an AWOL victim
just because l couldn't stand
being away from my wife any
longer.
1 am waiting to be court-mar-
tailed now.
So just because I wanted to
see my wife and had no means
of giving her transportation. to
