My Dear Folks:
1 am lost for words to express
my sincere sympathy to you in
your bereavement. Your loss is
also mine, though not as great. I
always felt very close to Liston,
and was indeed proud to have been
his friend. The news of his death
came as a shock to me. Even
though have none of the particu-
lars, I'm sure Liston went down
fighting, since he always gave a
good account of himself in every
thing that he did.
1t seems that Fate never did
give Liston the breaks. He was
such a fine, clean-living American
youth and rightfully deserved
something better. Let's all remem-
Der him by his many good traits
and either profit by, or forget, his
few faults.
Don't worry about Walter. Even
though I have not seen him, I'm
most certain that he is o. K, like
myself.
In closing, I wish that I could
write to you in manner that
would prove a bit more comforting
to you. However, since I am I'M
able to co this in the way that i
would like, can only send you my
regards and best wishes.
Sincerely yours,
William Bradford Naylor
Smyrna times., 1944-08-31

Thank you very much, Mrs.
Laura Dunning, for the two chang
es of addresses you included in
your letter. We're sure pleased to
hear of Georges advance in rank
to that of Sergeant. He must have
proven himself as a better than
good u. S. Army cook. 1t is al
most impossible to sit here and
imagine making go pies at one
heat. Our kitchen is quite enough
cluttered up in the process of maxi
ing two such critters. Were we to
add on thirty times that number,
I'm afraid to state just what I
think would happen. Please give
my best wishes to both George and
Ralph the next time you write
them.
AS for the address of Woodrow
Wilson Burris, I'm sorry to say
that his name is not in my file. For
this reason I am unable to pass it
along. Should you find out what
this soldiers correct address is,
how about sending it in so that the
information will be available for
the next person who requests it.
That's the way to keep the ball
rolling along. And while we're on
the subject of addresses, please
don't ever be backward about send
ing them in. If we have them as
listed, no harm will have been done.
If we do not have the addresses it
will help just that much more to
keep Our Boys and Girls in the
Service in touch with each other
while this war lasts. About that,
Dribbles' job will be done.

Miss Genve Orzolek

Thanks once again young lady
for your brothers change of adj
dress. Hope he will like it out at
Pratt, Kansas. And, by the bye
what does all the new address
mean. When I first looked at the
second line of Franks address it
reminded me very much of my con-
ception of early Greek writings.
How about asking Frank to give
us the low down on what B. U. 20.
T. ID (V.H) happens to mean in
our language. I'm quite curious,
and besides, it may keep me from
thinking that he's gone to join the
Mound Builders.
Well, Franks change of address
hit the column on August Gath is
sue, also the important message
was passed along promptly. Hope
you received a confirmation of this
promptly.
Again thanks for your splendid
cooperation and interest. Keep up
the good work.

Dear Dribbles:
Well, here I sit in my fox-hole,
taking time out from sleeping to
drop you few lines to let you
know how things are going over
here.
The last time 1 wrote you was
stationed in England. Since that
day, sometime wrote you 1 was
stationed in England. Since that
day, some little changes have been
made. Our outfit has been moved
over to France( and along with
this comes new Army Post Office
Number of 403.
There is one advantage where
we now are for Army drivers. Here
we drive on the right side of the
road, same as we were accustomed
to back home. In England all
driving was carried on to the left
side of the road. This proved to be
quite a little confusing.
The weather over this way is
now quite hot, just like good old
home. This is also a country of
hedges. Field after field is sur
rounded by high hedges. These,
for time, proved to work out to
the Nazi's advantage. However,
we soon found out how to over
come hedges as obstacles.
Well, must close now for this
time. In the left hand corner of
this V-Mail letter you will find my
new address complete.

It's sure been swell hearing from
you, Harry, since your landings in
France on the never to be forgot
ten I'D" Day. Yes, and we're all
the more pleased to learn of the
splendid progress our troops have
been making during the past
weeks.
To-day. as I'm writing this, Paris
has been completely freed of the
Nazis, part of the Allied forces are
crossing the Seine to knock out the
rocket plane launching positions on
the French coast, and another
spear head is moving swiftly to-
wards the German border. 1t GER
tainly looks like Hitler and his
gang of murderers are about to
stand face to face with their day
Of reckoning. Although plenty of
hard fighting lies ahead before fin
al victory can be attained in Eu-
rope, certainly the time will come
within a reasonable period of time.
Back home, we're hoping that the
next sixty or ninety days will tell
the story, and that some of you
fellows will be on the way back to
the States by the time Christmas
1914 rolls around. That would be
the very best kind of Christmas
for all of us Americans.
Thanks lot for sharing your
rest period with us, Harry. I'm
sure that I speak for all the folks
back home when 1 say we're more
than pleased to know that you are
o. X. and still going strong with
the Boys over there. Good luck,
my friend may you and your Bud
dies be favored from here on out.
Drop us line when you have time.
Wen always be glad to hear from
you.

President Gets Resolution
Posiponing KimmeI Trial

The resolution extending for six
months the period In which court
martial proceedings may be started
against Mai. Gen. Walter c. Short
and Rear Admiral Husband E. Kim
mel has been received at the White
| House.
Although a previous extension ex-
pired at midnight last night, the
Attorney General has advised the
President that he has the usual 10
days in which to sign the measure
and therefore, no action has been
taken by the President to date -
White House Secretary Stephen T,
Early said.
The extension, approved yester-
day by Congress, was compromise
between a Senate proposal to allow
an additional year for trial of the
men in command at Pearl Harbor
on December 7, 1941. and a House
measure directing trial within three
months.
Mr.. Early said it would be re-
called that the last congressional
measure which extended the time
for trial from December last was
not received at the White House
until December 8, although the
statute of limitations requiring trial
within year had expired two days
previously.
THE President at that time was
not in Washington and he did not
sign the measure until December
