He requests Lemoyne residents through this letter to encourage West Shore lads to en list. His letter in part follows: "As the crisis in the German situation may enu iu a declaration of war, which will probably keep the troops now in service either on the border or on duty some piace in the country, there is a good chance lor twenty-six men from .Lemdyiie and other West Shore towns to get into tho machine gun company.
