i^ THE BOYS WHO DID THE JOB s^ 



THERE'LL BE A HOT TIME 



When Johnny Comes Marching Home. 



The boys arc coming liome just as 

 soon as the necessary transports can be 

 provided. This is the good news an- 

 nounced by Edward N. Hurley, chair- 

 man of tlie U. S. Sliipping Board, on 

 the eve ot his departure for France to 

 make the arrangements. The job of po- 

 licing the l-'ranco-Gernian frontier will 

 keep some of tiic men "over there" for 

 a long time, undoubtedly, and it is not 

 unlikely that some of those whose train- 

 ing has been finished in the camps here 

 will go over to relieve those who have 

 been doing the actual fighting, liut it 

 is certain tliat those members of our 

 trade who came through the lighting in 

 France will be back in time to helf) out 

 with the preparations for the Easter 

 rush. When they come let The Keview 

 know, so that it can spread the gooa 

 news. In the meantime, any informa- 

 tion regarding tlie boys ''over there" 

 or those in the camps here will be wel- 

 come at The Review ofQcc.

 man exhibited every sign of perfect 

 manhood. He was a splendid help in

 merous expressions of sym|iathy, in- 

 cluding one from the commaMding oili- 

 cer of his corps, will act as })alm to tlie 

 bereaved [parents. "To live in the
