September 2!, 1918 } | Judge’s Sentimental Department EE A Busy Time Ahead for Brooklyn R SIR: Aug. 21, 1918. D* On account of your publication being favorite among the boys in the service Uncle Sam,” I would like to enlist your aid in an endeavor to help them. I refer to those of them who have no one to correspond with, and who are “hungering for mail,” as one of your articles put it. There are a number of girls who, through a profound desire to do their bit, have organized a committee with the sole purpose of corre sponding with those of our brave boys who have no one to cheer them up or take an interest in them, It is also seen to that they are kept in reading material and good spirits. The committee have many correspondents and can handle many more. I thought, if you would be kind enough to publish in an issue of Jupce a brief statement to the effect that these boys will be taken care of along these lines if they send their name and address to me, you would not only help to broaden our field of endeavor but make life more cheerful for many of our boys. Thanking you profoundly, I remain Dorotuy Locke (Sec’y) Headquarters: 221 St. John’s Place, Brooklyn, He’s French, Girls! At the Front, 12th of July, 1018. EAR MASTER: You will be surprised when you receive and read this letter, Is a French soldier who has learned American language with American Soldiers and also with JupGe?s Illustrated who write to you, I write you in order to have an American godmother of war. I think that you are well placed for it and that you will forgive me of this dérangement. I will be delighted to have an American godmother. I will become also able to write American better than I do act ually, I am in the trenches canons now. Before I was in the cavalry (first, on horses), but I was wounded in the first days of the battle of Marne. Second I will pass in the cavalry on foot—same as infantry—and it is two years that I am in the trenches canons. I am actually at trenches. Before we were with American soldiers and we have been all delighted to see Americans fighting with us. But I saw that time is money and I am too long, I think. If you can I pray you to find me a godmother. I will have a good regard for you. My best wishes. COLONNA CHARL 176th Ret. d'Artillerie de trie 581, 3rd Groupe, I. P. 215.

Can she bake a pie?” “Well, no, mother. But she can roll a cigar- ette with one hand.” You've gone and put me in a helluva hole; maybe you don’t recall just how—bue you did! Several s ago, in a fit of absentmindedness I sent in friend Editor! a joke, and promptly forgot all about it. Came Do They Like Judge? Oh, Boy! along a big check from Jupce, with writing all over it, and I cashed it for one dollar, at a can- teen, Then you published the joke, with my name and address. Dozens of nice girls read that stuff and sat down and wrote me some corkifg letters. They want to know all about me—but I'm too wise to tell my life history; they are willing to receive letters. Some of them wrote from Pennsylvania, South Carolina and other states. All of the letters were inter- esting. Now, here's how you set me back with a deal like this: in sending that joke I used a free Y. M. C. A. envelope and ‘a sheet of govern- ment paper (expendable!), but I was out three cents for a stamp. My total gain was ninety- seven cents—a small gain, but large for the work involved. But—here I have to write my new friends and thank them for liking the joke, and being interested. I'm out about six de lars, for stamps! Capt. E. G. Kyte, 113 San. Train, Camp Shelby, Miss. You and I and Things Aug. 23, 1918. OW well a thing is always done When you and [ have done it!
