So runs the news. A change to mere hot air, may be anticipated. "Flu" masks improve the appearance of many men. but when worn by wom en they take much of the Joy and beauty out of life. German soldiers complain that the Tanks "yell so barbarously when they charge." That's not barbarism it's the buttlecry of freedom. British aviation officials coneluoe that bachelors make the beat air fl int ers. Married men fight better when they can get behind something. The London Chronicle doesn't Ilk the English the American soldiers speak. The American soldiers do not sneak English but plain old United States.

F.. He especially commends the men for the way they met the se vere tost of discipline and courage oe casiSned by the sinking of the "Tus caniu," when so many ofotheir mutes lost their lives. The letter goes on to say, "I have received from the director ot forestry of the British expeditionary force the warmest praise for the character of mo services rendered by the lith bat talion for the iBritish army. It is also exceedingly gratifying to note this testimonial that an American forestry unit, the lith battalion, led all of the units working for the British dire tonite of forestry, both in production of forestry products per man anil in manufacturing skill as indicated by the maximum yield of manufactured prod ucts per cubic mister of timber. Your achievement in this respect brings grout credit to American lumbermen and to the American army I wish to add my appreciation of the manner in which you personally and your officers handled the difficult assignment of Onptleux, especially in operating the fire-killed timber under exceptional difficulties. Tho entire record of the 6th battalion is a most creditable one, and I want to have your men know thnt the character of their work in France is appreciated. I wish you all a pleasant voyage and success in taking up the duties of civil life." T S. Kellogg, the majqr of tho 6th battalion, also adds in his letter, that he personally wants to thank every man in the lith bnttnlion for bringing the standard of the battalion to such a high level CAllfo OF THANKS.
