' My Dear Mother and All: I haven't heard from vou lately but I'll write anyway. I'm going to try to write a little bit anyway at least twice a week-to you all, 'cause I know how bad I want to hear from you all. We are having some bad weather at present but you see we don't mind that much because we don't have to get out in it. It isn't very cold but it's quite rainy. It seems that once it starts raining it doesn't want to stop. And I must admit it kind o' gives a fellow a little blues-specially when we can only get our mail about every week or ten days- But I got a card this morning-I wish you could read it. Maybe when I ever get back to the States I will let you read it. (You see it's in French.) Anyway, I'll tell you how I came to get it. When we first came to' this village of course everybody, but more especially the little folks, were alway sticking around the soldiers. And there was one little girl just six years old who lived right across from us who was just beautiful. She reminded me a lot of Stewart Boyd and I took a particular fancy to her. Now she and j a sister ( 15 years old ) and a brother about 12 were visiting their aunt' here. Of course, after a while I more or less "fell" for her older sister. Now j they left their aunt's here, and went j back to their mother's, quite a dis- ( tance from h?re, and today I have just received, a very sweet card from the older sister with the names and best wishes of the other two. Now you Krfow that made me feel pretty good. I don't guess I will .ever see anything of them again but I am go ing to try to write them a cafd. How is Papa getting along with the gin? I want to know all about what he is doing and how he is doing it. And next time you write tell me where Louise is and give me Fletch er's address and tell him to write to me. The rascal, I haven't heard from him since I've been over here, and I havn't'heard from you all savin ir i that you had received the card say- j inp that we had landed safely but I am sure you have received it long before new. You should have receiv ed it about the 23rd of August and the last letter I have from you was dated the 22nd of August. We still remain at the same place and don't much want to leave. The j band especially is billeted so well that j [ for one certainly don't want to leave here. -,-.H^U ...... j Well, "Mums" I believe I've told yon about all the news. All the band Doys are well with thc exception of a few colds. Othewise everybody is well md happy. Must close now and go to linner. Oh, by the way, I wish I ..ould send Papa something for his iirthday but I don't see how I can low. Tell him, anyway, I "ain't" for rot he gets a birthday once a year. Maybe I can get something through :or him. Heaps and heaps of love and tisses. Devotedly, Guy. V P. S. My address is, Cpl. A. G. r?orne, 318th F. A. Band. 'American Sx Forces. France.

Italy Expresses Admiration of American Y. M. C. A. Rome, October-Italy's King and tier Commissary General have paid high tribute recently to the aid which American civilian agencies gave in strengthening the morale and fight ing power of the Italian troops, it has just been announced. King Victor Emanual sent a message to Dr. E. C. Carter, director of all overseas Y. M. Marda i I ? , ?pp Tak? Nor BSBBBBBBBBBBBBBBimBBBBSi C. A. work, as the royal contribution to the United War Work Campaign of the Y. M. CW., Y. W. C. A., Na tional Catholic War Council,?K. of C., War Camp Community Service, Jew ish Welfare Board, American Libra ry Association and Salvation Army. The King's message was as follows ! "To offer something to the soldier at war facing the enemy is not only a. brotherly thought of graciousness and of kindness, but also a powerful means to keep their minds in all hours vigilant, prompt and courage 'ous. To have given this institution so groat a development is worthy of the American people who thus illustrate again that in their genius a sense of the ideal allies itself admirably with an essentially practical mind. (Signed) Vittorio Emanuele." V. Zacconc, Commissary General of the Italian Army made the following statement: "I take pleasure in expressing my great admiration of the philanthrop ic work accomplished by the Ameri can Y. M. C. A. with the mobilized Army, both in the granting of large and generous financial aid to the al ready existing Italian 'Case del Sol dato' and in the establishment of ma ny new 'Case,' in which your enthu siastic and able associates co-operate actively in the prent work of civil and military aid. I am greatly pleased to observe how thas-3 'Case' increase benefits to our brave troops at the battle front have already realized the efficacy promised by the noble ini tiative of our American friends. "The victorious counter-offensive on the Piave has also clearly demon strated the utility of the comfort distributing stations established by the Y. M. C. A. in immediate contact with the battle lines, and this new organization, which gives the Amer ican Association further title to gra titude, has received enthusiastic rec ognition from the troops who were thus given new evidence even during the bloodiest days of battle that they could count on the noble help and comfort of their American brothers." The 'Case del Soldato' are the It alian equivalent of the Y. M. C. A. huts. For Rent: Good two or three-hor'se farm. Good land well fenced, good orchard, plenty of water. Apply to H. S.
