CARD FROM LIEUT. BURCHARD

The editor of the Republican received a postal photograph today of Firt Lieutenant F. D. Burchard and two companions, taken in France. To all appearances Lieut. Burchard was in the best of health when the pictufia was taken, and has added a moustache to his belongings since leaving here. He wrote as follows: “Was headed for the front when the armistice was signed, so was shipped to this place for active duty. Feeling fine and guess old Kaiser Bill must have gotten word we were coming for he immediately took to the woods on our approach. Have a company of 77 men all of my own, besides personnel work for the rest of the group.”
