rapid recovery to health, and an
early return to your friends at
home.
Under the date of August 7th,
1914, Mr.. and Mrs. William Muntz,
Kenton, Delaware, R. D., were in
formed by telegram from the Ad-
jutant Generals Office, Washing
ton, D. c., that their son, Sergeant
Lester w. Muntz had been serious
ly wounded in action on July 25th
in France.
Following the receipt of this
alarming bit of information, addi-
tional news arrived from the same
source stating that Sergeant
Muntz was making normal i'm
provement; giving further assur-
ance that when additional informa-
ton was received concerning the
sons condition, it would be for
warded Immediately.
Dribbles is indeed happy to learn
that Sergeant Lester w. Muntz's
condition is improving. The very
fact that our wounded Boys are re-
ceiving the very best care that
medical science can offer is certain
ly a, point in the Sergeant's favor.
We trust that the next communica-
ton which Mr.. and Mrs. William
Muntz receives will be direct from
their son announcing still further
improvement. In that case, Drib-
bles would appreciate having the
family send through Sergeant
Muntz's full address so that his
name can be printed in our Honor
Roll. Meanwhile, we're hoping
that Sergeant Muntz will have a
rapid recovery. And thanks to Mr..
and Mrs. William Muntz for the
loan of their communications from
the Adjutant Generals Office.
These were returned to you by the
same friendly carrier who acted
previously. Be of good cheer my
friends. Lester will be home one
of these days before long. We
know you must be mighty proud
of this brave lad.

Dribbles:
I told a couplpe of my mates
that they could get my address by
contracting you.
We were separated after we fin
ished E. M. School.
Thanks,

Sure thing, sailor. Send out the
word to all your former friends
from E. M. School that Dribbles
will be only too glad to furnish
your address for them whenever
they request it. And, if you can
think of any other way that we
can serve you, pass your sugges-
lions along. :.
Many fthe Boys from this area
could get lot more from the SER
vice this column offers if they
would but unbend a bit and take
advantage of our humble efforts in
their behalf. In all too many cases
Dribbles is stumped trying to keep
up with addresses alone. This
point could be easily overcome if
everyone of our readers would do
what we consider their rightful
part. Surely it cannot be too much
to ask, that when one of Our Boys
address is changed, someone in the
immediate family send the change
through. This little act, that
would take only a few minutes of
anyone's time, might very well re-
suit in helping several other Boys,
at distant stations, keeping in COM
munication with their friends.
You know, the sole purpose of
this column is to help Our Boys
and Girls in the Service keep in
touch with one another. Keep the
mails moving out to those who
count so much on having letters
when each mail call is sounded.
Many letter is not written simply
because friends do not know the
proper address. So my friend, if
you will but see to it that your adj
dress is passed along each time
