Over there in the Picardy mud, pock-marked with sig¬ 
nificant craters and “plum-caked” with unspeakable things 
that once were men, our soldiers can’t hear all that some 
of us are saying. Good that they can’t, isn’t it? It wou Idn’t

4^ interest. Turn your THOUGHTLESS dollars into 
War Savings Stamps.
