F.ui'or T: I V a r Hob. a reached I m s : ;!: in you r columns of Oct. :-.,)- of which paper has just m-. there appeare-1 aJi article which has been read by myself witn considerable ir.tc r.-" From lhe number of letter received from anxious mothers and relatives by members of this company, it would ap;ar that the article was also read with or, ri. sole r:s hie interest by others. While th facts stated therein are trve to a certain exient. conditions are not e." picplctured m the article. It is trie that upon our arrival at Hattiesburg for tho flrst few days there was some shortage of food on account f the commissary department not expecting so many arrivals, but since that time, regular ration? have been issued and I have heard li'tle or no complaints on that account. I deeply regret the fact, that the name of the soldier who wrote the article ia unknown to me. I did r.oC know that X had any men in my company who had so !it!t spirit as to complain when things went a little wrong Concerning the company fund which has been promised Company L, from the citizens, of East Chicago. I can onlv state that I have exerted my utmost effort to have this fund raised but. I presume it ha been a cise of "out of sight, out of it.ind" vsith the parties who had this n-after in charge. However, I am in hopes that the citizens of East Chicago will see the matter in the right light and keep the promises that they made to Company L prior t their departure. I think it no more than right from tiioe who st-iy at home, that they should help make It as comfortable for those who go, as is possible, and a small amount contributed by each individual would raise a fund amply sufficient to supply the members of this company with all that is ueed'd. Perhaps the question v ill be raised that as Company L has subscribed so much money to liberty bonds. they should have spent it for food instead, hut, I am frank to say. that I cannot see it in that llsht. The money which the boys have subscribed for liberty bonds, is what they have earned, and th.-y are depriving themselves of many WAR MAT BE X.OST i - J - .- - - tt '-" 1 0i-. - n J' ' '4 " v ' . i. 5 it- . y to t -t yet produced, the greatest hero among the allied armies, who has brought dow n some eighty enemy planes, is gone.
