WHAT LETTERS WILL DO.

(By Casper Whitfley) Paris, May 31.—Letters are one of the most essential factors in keeping our men’s hearts and spirits up and spirit is needed now that our boys are getting into the real fighting. Therefore, fathers and mothers, remember that through your letters the men get their happiest diversion in the field. So send them often. Through letters the men derive comfort and cheer. Don’t tell your troubles—your boy has his own. Give him the local news. Letters are the soldier’s tonic and help powerfully to maintain the army’s morale. Use all your influence to improve the postal service.
