CABLES TO THE FORCES IN rsANCE. 



The Western Union Telegraph Co. has made special arrange- 

 ments under which week-end letter cablegrams of a social char- 

 acter may be sent to soldiers, sailors and nurses of the American 

 expeditionary forces in England and France, such cablegrams 

 to be charged on a word basis within the minimum charges 

 applicable in the case of ordinary week-end cablegrams. These 

 messages will bear the indication "EFM," which will be counted 

 and charged for, and must be addressed "Amexforce, London," 

 and in addition must contain the addressee's name, the name of 

 the regiment, ship or number of the unit with which the addressee 

 is serving, all messages to be accepted at sender's risk, subject 

 to censorship and delay. Similar arrangements have been made 

 for the acceptance of messages from members of the expe- 

 ditionary forces in England and France to their friends and rela- 

 tives in the United States. These week-end letter cablegrams 

 to and from France will be handled by post between London and 



France. The rate will be five cents per word from New York 

 City, including the indication "EFM," name, address and sig- 

 nature. 



THE RUBBER TRADE ROLL OF HONOR. 



/^NE of the greatest privileges that can come to a nation, an 

 ^-^ industry, a family, is the despatch of its young manhood 

 to battle for its honor, perhaps for its existence. In this war, 

 which was not of our seeking, but from which there was no 

 righteous escape, many are offering that personal service that 

 means privation and peril certainly, and possibly wounds and 

 death. It is an honorable service in a cause that history will write 

 down as glorious. 



In the columns below will appear from time to time the names 

 of the men who constitute the Roll of Honor of the American 

 Rubber Trade. We name them with pride, these willing, stal- 

 wart members of the great and potent Army of Freedom :
