L For Men
Camp Meade, Md.. May 3.—Letters
appealing for support of the Third
Liberty Loan which were sent out
by the soliders here are bearing
fruit. Judging from the tone of re
plies received. Every mail brings
.hundreds of letters from various
pointu in the United States, but prin
cipally from Maryland and Pennsyl
vania, and in almost every instance
the sender has promised to buy more
bonds.
Private B. E. Friend, Company E,
Three Hundred and Fourth Field
Signal Battalion, has received an in
spiring letter from Gene W. Hol
brook, who is in the hardware busi
ness at 219 Main street, Charles City.
la. The communication, which is a
sample Qf the thousands received
here, reads:
"Yes, my boy. I am with you to the
finish. I have bought to date *1,500
worth of War Savings Stamps and
Liberty Bonds. SSOO of which was for
the third aeries. And I will buy all
I can, and more, too, every time they
have a new issue. I am only a com
mon hardwareman, and it makes me
grunt to make both ends meet in a
business way now.
"I am 48 years old, but I have
lots of fight in me yet. and if the
time comes that they need the old
bucks, you will find this old boy as
eager to do his bit as it is possible
for anyone to be. I appreciate your
letter and the spirit in which it was
written, and I want to say to you
that in this old United States there
are a lot of fighters left behind, and
we will see to it that they do dig up
the money for you fellows just as
fast, and a little faster, than you
need it. X don't know that I can
say any more at this time to make
my case any stronger. You spread
the news to the boys that lowa is
going to be with you to the finish,
and I know that the other states will
do equally as well. ith best wishes
and God bless you."
The letter was signed "Tour Part
ner Over Here."
The men here have purchased to
date approximately $700,000 worth of
liberty Bonds of the third issue, ac
cording to an announcement by Cap
tain Sidney Herkness, who is in
charge of the campaign. The total
rash sales to soldiers amounts to
$319,000 and the secretaries for the
Young Men's Christian Association
purchased bonds to the extent of
$202,250, for which they paid cash.
Bonds wre purchased by soldiers on
the partial l payment plan to the ex
tent of $154,050.
Taboo on Rubber Stamp
The taboo has been placed on the
use of the rubber stamp in signing
passes for the men and a new set of
instructions have been issued which
will entirely do away with all
"phoney" passes and at the same
time the fact has been emphasized
to the soldiers that they will be re
quired to be back on time.
The new pass regulations read:
"All passes will be signed in Ink
by the company or detachment com
mander. Rubber stamps for signa
tures are prohibited.
"A pass list, on form as prescribed
herein, will be submitted by the com
pany or detachment commander,
when properly filler! out, to the ser
geant of the guard. This list wil
be kept at the guardhouse, and all
men returning from pass will report
there, and their names will be check
ed and the day and hour of reporting
from pass entered in the proper col
umn.
"Every man on pass must report
back to his company or detachment
on or before the day and hour stated
on his pass in order to escape disci
pline. An accident entirely beyond
the individual's control wiil be the
only defense considered for delays in
reporting.
"Reasons for issuing the pass will
be briefly stated thereon, viz:
Week-end Pass—Emergency because
of sickness in family, etc.
"Company and detachment com
manders will check all passes re
turned to them from the guardhouse,
and any found to have been altered
will be made the subject of inquiry
and, if necessary, disciplinary action.
"A s-ommisojoned officer of each
company or detachment will make a
check rollcall of all men on Sunday
and Monday night at 1.30 o'clock,
with a view to the discipline of all
improperly absent."
