William Ken- I nedy, relative to the death of his son , in France: Verneull, Nievre. France, ! February 26. 1919. : ilr. Allen Joseph Kennedy, ilTl Nassau Avenue, Brooklyn, N. Y. ily dear Mr. Kennedy: It is with regret and the deepest sympathy that I write you at this time, substantiating the cablegram which you have already received, no tifying you of the death of your son. Lieut. William F. Kennedy. While I know that no words of mine can help a great deal at this time, nev ertheless, I wish to tell you that his company and his entire unit unite with me in expressing to you our deepest sympathy. Feeling: that a more detailed ac count of his brief sickness and bur ial may be of some consolation to you. I gladly give all the information 1" ossible. Your son was stricken, with bron chial pneumonia and was taken to the camp hospital, where the best medical care and attention was giv en him. All that science and medi cal attention could do was done for him, but he passed away at 2:10 p. m on the morning of February 24, 1319. We laid him to rest in the Amerl- 1 can cemetery, Xo. 552, located near A'erneuil, Nieuvre, France, Tuesday morning. February 25, 1919, with all the honor and ceremony due a tru- American soldier who has given hl3 life for his country. His grave is located in Row 3, Grave 'o. 22. Your son was a good, true, loya' soldier. His willingness to heed in- i struction and obey commands won for him the highest respect of his officers, and his kind, jovial spirit se cured for him the love and fellowship of all the men of his company. He was a true friend and a most agree able companion. Our love went out to him, and our sympathy goes to you at this time. And, while there is an empty place in your home and in your life, yet there should be, and there no doubt is, that note of pride that his was a life well spent, given in the greatest cause and for the greatest principles that the world has ever knowr We feel, and you should feel, that your son died just as much a hero for these principles as had he fallen on the bloodstained battlefield. A life given for hi country, for humanity and his God cannot and will not be soon forgot ten. There can always tie that comfort, which is the greatest comfort of all, that your son lived a. life worth living aridi pave It for the greatest cause, the cause of democracy, civilization and Christianity, and. while we can not understand the mysterious work ings of that Unseen Hand, neverthe less our faith at all times should bo such that we can truly say, "Thou knewest best, Thy will tie done." Jesus, while our hearts are Weeding O'er the spoils that death hath won We would at this solemn meeting Calmly say, "Thy will ibe done." By thy hand the boon was given. Thou hast taken 'hut tmne own; Lord of earth and ioH1 of heaven. Evermore "Thy will be done." May the -blessings and. the comfort of the Master rest with you at this time and continue to abide with you always. With deepest sympathy. T cm, ISincerely youra, WILLIAM C. H IC KEY. Unit Chaplain.

The author was born in Edinburgh, and was a ship's surgeon on vessels running to Africa and the Arctic regions before he be gan his career as a novelist with "A Study In Scarlet," published in 1887. Sir Arthur has a never-failing supply of good stories, his favorite dealing with an experience he had with a cabman in Paris. The cabby startled the author by addressing him by name, and when asked to explain, he. said. "I read In the papers that Sir Doyle was to arrive in Paris from Nice, after stopping at Marseilles and Lyons on the way. Now 1 see you have your hair cut in the Marseilles fashion, and there is Lyons mud still on your boots. Therefore you must be Sir Doyle." Sir ' Artlrar, amazed at this exhibition of "sher locking." persisted. "But was that all the evidence you had?"., "Well, to be honest, no," grinned the cabby, ' '! also saw your name on your lujr gage."
