"LEFTY” NOW A SERGEANT.

We extract the following from a personal letter from Howard Clark, written at Camp Taylor: "Have gone up one step more, being head man here in the office and the private secretary of the commanding officer. Am puttng on Sergeant’s stripes today. Enjoy the work immensely but can’t see where I am helping very much in upsetting Germany. Guess she is already upset, though. Dean leaves today for Camp Pike, Ark., where he is to enter officers’ training school. Have not the slightest doubt but that he will make good. The "flu” is subsiding rapidly here now and but very few deaths are occurring. Don’t know when the quarantine will be lifted, but when it is I shall be home, as the Captain told me yesterday Ihad a five-day pass coming any time I care to exercse it.”
