Dear Dribbles:
Just short note to let you
know I am well, and hoping that
this letter finds you o. K.
Well, the Army life is a nice life.
sent you my address as being
stationed at Camp Meade, Mary
land, 80 the Army ups and moves
me, anl 1 mean moves me this
time. I cannot tell you where to
this time because the censors
would not pass along the informa-
tion. I can say this much, how
ever, am still with "Jack" Grif-
fin from Smyrna, and Bobby"
Thompson from Mildletown, Della
ware. 1t is certainly mighty nice
to have someone from the home
town nearby with whom you can
talk to at times. Not to mention
a conversation on the many good
points of the good old State of
Delaware. There are plenty of
Delaware boys with me as yet, and
i hope that I can stick with them
on the roads. I have met up with
q lot of new buddies since I have
been in this mans army, but they
will never be quite Like those I
made while at home.
If you can, would like you to
send me the addresses of Jack"
Horsey, one of the fellows who
used to work with me while was
employed down at Wilson Cabinet
Company. We used to pal around
before 1 went into the Infantry, or
should say, the Army of the
United States.
Before entering the service, I
never knew what it felt like with
the Army uniform on, but can
truthfully tell you, that I am now
very proud to be wearing it. I
hope can do something to prove
how proud am of my Country.
Tell all my friends, and the fell
lows down at Wilson Cabinet Com
pany, that say "hello', and ask
them to drop me line whenever
they have a bit of time on their
hands. 1 will try to answer all
letters that I can possibly find
time for.
Tell Jack" Wilson I said ''hello"
and to write me once in awhile.
Well, as time is scarce, I'll have
to say SO long until the next let
ter, so goodbye and good luck un-
til me weet again-which I hope
will be soon.

Well, George, it's been mighty
nice hearing from you. I'm pleas
ed to hear you say how proud you
are of the uniform you are now
wearing. You remember what ]
told you the last time you were
home on furlough: I'm count
ing on you to make a good sold
ier"-and this is true. If you let
me down in this respect I'll be a
very much surprised old man. You
have it in you to make good, and
] am sure that you will The man
ner in which you respect your uni
form won't hold you back in reacr-
ing your goal either. A good sold
ier always respects those things
for whicr his uniform stands, an6
when you stop and consider your
uniform stands for the Army o1

only big in size alone, but the very

has been the same-Plenty good
enough.
George, according to your A. P.
o. number we should be receiving
a change very soon. Don't forget
to write in and kive us the neces-
sary information when this hap
pens. Due to your late arrival
overseas, it may be that you will
stay on to enforce law and order in
our portion of occupied Germany.
On the other hand, you may be
that portion of the Army which
will proceed on to take a real
healthy slap at the Japs. Which
ever the case may be, don't forget
Dribbles will be thinking about
you all the way along, and pulling
strongly for you. So, whenever
you have bit of spare time on
your hands, do drop us line and
let us know how you're making
out. Well always be glad to hear
from you, and may good luck fol-
low your trail to final victory.

Dear Dad:
Just few lines to let you know
that 1 am o. K. and getting along
fine.
I sure am seeing a lot of things
that 1 have never seen before.
I hope that you are well and do
ing nicely.
I wish I could tell you where I
have been, and where 1 am now To-
Gated, but this kind of news is not
allowed.
Please tell the boys that I was
asking for them, and write soon.

We are indebted to Mr.. David E.
Smith for the letter published
above. Mr.. Smiths son John, is
serving on one of Uncle Sans
Landing Ships in the Pacific Area.
No doubt he could, if censorship
conditions warranted, give us quite
a picture of things which have
since he entered the SER
vice. However, because of secur-
ity reasons, John will be forced to
withhold his story until after the
war is over.
Please give John our very best
wishes for his continued good luck,
Mr.. Smith.
Some of these days, and God
grant that it be soon, John will
come sailing back to the States, to
his loved ones and friends.

Although it was reported in the
May 10th issue of this column that
1t. Victor D. Ennis had been iber-
ated from a German prison camp
by the Third Army of the United
States, official word actually did
not follow until May 10th. At that
time, the War Department notified
Mrs. Emily A. Ennis, 2618 Van
Buren Street, Wilmington, Della
ware her husband, 1t. Victor D.
Ennis, had been released as a pris-
oner of war, and was now returned
to service.
1t. Ennis was freed on April
29th, just one year from the date
he had been reported missing in
action over occupied Europe.
1t. Victor D. Ennis is the son of
Mr.. and Mrs. S. Creadick Ennis.
We all share, in a measure, the
happiness which Victor's wife and
parents must feel in the knowledge
that this young officer is now safe,
and in a position to rate a nice
long furlough home.

We are glad to know that the Boys

receive this service.
By the way, Sergeant, don't you
think it about time you were re-
porting back with a nice long let
ter and telling us how things are
going overseas with Sergeant
Stanley t. Graham. Your brother,
Francis, was back home on a fur
Tough quite recently and had the
pleasure of meeting up with him
and his good wife. Francis is look
ing fine and appeared to be in tip
top shape. You would never think
he was an different from the time
you last talked with him. The
same good natured fellow. laugh
ing and jolly throughout. The good
wife is a very nice looking girl,
and they certainly did appear to
be quite well-suited together. To
sum it up, we would say that they
were a very happy couple. But of
course, you simply cannot get
Francis to write in. Such a BASH
full type-or is he.
The best of luck to you, Stanley,
and don't forget to drop us a line

Limit Mice
 In New York Hotels
BY JACK GAVER

United Press Staff Correspondent
 New York, Oct. 12. (UP)-If you're planning to come to New York this month without a hotel reservation-don't.
 The room situation is SO bad that even the mice are permitted to register for only one night at a time. Today's hotel patron is the >original inn-and-outer.
 The situation was bad enough dur- ing the war. No one thought 1t could be worse, but 1t is now. The flood of returning soldiers and their relatives coming here to meet them, the influx of out-of-town buyers seeking merchandise from the wholesalers and the impending cele- bration of Navy Day, Oct. 27 are most important in the factors cre- ating the jam.
 Some hotels have had to refuse regular patrons accommodations for the latter part of the month be- cause of the Navy Day demands. Hundreds of rooms have been re. served for high naval officers and other important personages who will be here at the time.
 So great is the influx expected to be the week of Oct. 2l that public eating places have been advised that, in order to handle the turn over and to be sure there1l be enough food to go around, the best policy will be to offer only a few choices rather than the usual wide range of dishes. Incidentally the butter situation, but improved. You get seconds without asking in some places now, even at lunch.

Arrest Terminates Youfhs' Freedom

Meriden, Conn.,, Oct. 12- (UP) - Two inmates of Meriden School for Boys escaped early today but erl- joyed their freedom less than an hour.

Not far away, at 99 James street, an attempt to gain entrance into the home of Mrs. GeorgeF Feest eliminated in failure when, after sweating over the removal of a kitchen window screen, the path was blocked by the presence of a washing machine.
 Determined to get in, Spokas jimmied another window in the parlor but this time sofa blocked the entrance.
 An unlocked door yielded to his hand at 57 Alder street, the home of Mrs. Anna J. McGrath, and he removed loot there consisting of two pocketbooks, Bendler stated One contained a wallett with $5 in it and the other a pen.
 Bendler stated that 19 breaks have been solved with the arrest of Spokas, who has confessed to nine of them, and James Demirs, who had admitted to being involved in the remaining ten. Demirs was tried in city court yesterday after being arrested Tuesday night and charged with stealing from the dressing rooms of actors at Jacques Burlesque. He was bound over to Sunerior court.

Russian
 Styled Democracy

Moscow, Oct. 12,- CUP) - The supreme Soviet put into effect today 8 law providing for direct, secret, universal suffrage in the Russian parliamentary elections Feb. 10.
 The law, announced prominently in all Moscow newspapers today, emphasized the democratic char acter" of the Soviet system. It af- firmed the eligibity of all citizens, regardless of racial or national origin, faith, sex, residence, prop erty holdings or former occupation"
 While the law in effect was re- statement of the first election de- cree under the existing constitution of 1887, it appeared to broaden the scope of balloting considerably
 Tn the first % years after the Bolshevik revolution, certain cate gories of persons lost their right to vote. Among them were clergymen, former merchants, aristocratS and KulakS.
 Franchise
 Under the new constitution these categories were granted the fran chise. Now clergymen not only have the right to vote but can be elected to the supreme Soviet, the highest legislative body.
 In view of the recent reconcilia- ton of state and church, and the church's active participation in the war effort, 1t was likely the church will be represented in the new sup reme Soviet for the first time since the revolution.
 Church groups, like trade unions and various social organizations have the right to put up candidates Patriarch Alexius, Metropolitan Nikolai, and other high prelates probably will be nominated and elected. Nikolai already holds state post on the national commission for the investigation of war atrocities.
 The only Fundamental difference between the 1887 and present elec- ton law is the new provision that candidates must be at least 23 years old. Formerly they were eligible at IS. The voting age remained IS.
 The new law makes a special point of stressing the rights of wo- men and soldiers to vote and run for office.
