This war is an interesting game and a fellow sure has the pleasure (?) of a lot of different experiences, especially when the 75's and the 105s begin whist- ling over your head and you never know where the next one is liable to hit. r.elieve me. you can pray and do a lot of thinking all at the same tixMf i I have been out on an advance bil- - . i iair .lotnil for tli last four days. ! and went through some fair sized towns.

When I! get back. Til be able to tell a most interesting story, as its very hard to write much in a letter when one can't name the towns, etc. You can't even begin to imagine the "bigness" of this proposition. I have rode for miles and passed truck trains and couldn't begin to count the number of trucks. The traffic here is worse than in unv large citv f the United States. I've heard the truck drivers say they have started on trips which ordinarily would tak.. a day, but would take several days to complete on account of so much j tratlic on the highways. The woods 'here and all over Franc are exeel- lent, and that is all that France ex- cells the U. S. in. They are t lie best roans i nave ever seen ami every road is a good solid road, macadam- (of ized and kept in good condition all' ithe time. It sure would be an ele- gant place for a touring car. The weatiier here now is very cool especially at night. It is cold enuft i to wear an overcoat ami it is damp here all the time. J Well.

CONTINUED NO LONGER j All Collected to Present Time Will be Forwarded for the Use They were Intended. From Moniluv's I;iilv. A circular from the University farm savs that t lie collection of materials for use in making carbon for gas masko will be discontinued and the barrels and containers set out for the collection of such materials will be removed and all signs and notices calling the matter to peoples' atten tion taken down. However, the materials that have been collected to date are to be for warded immediately to collection cen ters and utilized as intended. There are yet a goodly number of gas musks to be manufactured and' the carbon for them is badly needed. The schools and other agencies as sisting in the collection of such ma terials are hereby notified that the necessity for such materials having ceased, their obligation in the matter terminates and thanks are extended to all who had a share in the reali zation of over seventy-five carloads accumulated before the peace arniis tace made further efforts necessary. As stated above the 75 car loads are to be rushed to accumulation centers and used as needed. LOSES A VALUABLE CALF From Mernliiv's Dally. A. L.
