glvo ali to the son, father, or brother
sorvlng with tho flag.
Many n faintly In Franco probably
will dlno mcagerly tonight and tomor
row because of the packages of soft
woolen things nnd boxes of delicacies
which have gone to tho kinsmen at
tho front. Then there arc field glass
es, wrist watches, sleeping bags and
nu nmaxlng variety of campaign con
veniences. Tho military administration has
been most consldcrato tn providing
transport so that all this month num
erous vans loaded with holiday pack
ages wero among tho long supply
trains back of the army.
Many a lone soldier without fam
ily has received various packages ot
things to eat, wear, smoke or drink,
from societies and from the govern
ment. The ministry ot war, among
other things. Is sending a bottle of
champagne for every four soldiers at
the front.
All the plum puddings In the shops
ot Paris havo been taken by tho I
French military to sen! to tho Brit
ish soldiers. The Dolgtunn refugees,
especially the children, are being so
overfed that the committees In charge
ot them, have postponed by agree
ment various dinners and entertain
ments so as to extend them over tho
next ten days.
