' She replied that she had come to weep over the gravo of her sixth and last son. The Eoldlers saluted and expressed their sympathy hut there was no breaking down or giving away. "I have not really settled down to any definite work until now. I was ordored to report to Mr. , who is in charge of this area. He Is a splendid man, one whom I liavo known by reputation for a long time. Ho has put me in charge of the re ligious and educational work, amuse ments and lectures for this area.

In them we have tho canteen, meetings, entortalnmonts, etc. We have plenty of food, a good hod and plenty of work to do. Just at the present writing I'm in a hut In a different area from my own.
