Here Is a case where letters from France came through, but letters to the soldier in France fall to reach him. We have many similar cases In Tama county and many cases where letters written by the boys In Europe fall to reach home. The breaking down qt the tnnil service Is an outrage. There is absolutely no excuse for It. There Is no such complaint In Canada Mail comes and goes from the army regu larly, because Canada has a system. But on top of the breaking down of the American mail service now comes the complaint of many soldiers that they do not get their pay. It Is questionable which Is the least excusable—the fail ure of the government to handle the soldiers' njall or Its failure to pay their small wages. The people have freely provided the money. The fault is all In government inefficiency. It seems to bo one blunder after aqotber. No rv Jr the Herron'* wife, who died in 1914. was Carrie Rand, daughter of K. l.
