Tidings From Relatives in the War Zone.
E. P. Honan received a postcard Thursday morning from his brother, Dr. James H. Honan, who is located at Badnauheim, Germany, saying that they were well. The card was written by Mrs. Honan and was in German. They could not write a letter, as everything is censored, aad only a few words were written on th.- card. The card was dated Aug. 2. Yesterday morning Mr. Honan received a cablegram from the Dr. dated Aug. 28, and sent from Gravenhage, Holland, containing three words, “Safe and well.” Dr. Honan and wife, who spend their winters here, he having a winter home and sanitarium at Auhad expected to sail for America on Oct. 11, but the war will probably hasten their departure, and if they can get out of the country it is likely they will do so at once. In fact, their presence in Holland would indicate that they had gone there to get out of the war zone and secure passage to God's country.
