THE
Some Wonderful Statistics Provided
by Soldi rn Wlv
CAROLINA
Life in the War Kisk Bureau is not
all tedium. And correspondence, even
on regular forms, calling for the sta
tistics of soldiers' families upon which
claims for allotments and payments are
based, do not in all cases make barren
reading. The following extracts from
letters received there show that the
stock of harmless humor in the sad
world is by no means exhausted.
"Just a line to let you know that I
am a widow and four children. My re
lationship to him? Just a mere aunt
and a few cousins . . ' '
"You ask for my allotment number
I have four boys and two girls."
"Dear Mr. Wilson. I have already
written to Mr. Headquarters and rec'd
no reply and if I don't get one from
you I am going to write to Uncle Sam
himself. ' '
!
' We have ' your letter . I am his
grandmother and grandfather. He was
brought up according to your letter."
"You have changed my little boy to
a little girl. Will it make any differ
ence?" "I have not received my husband's
pay. I Avill be compelled to lead an
immortal life. "
"Please let me know if John has put
in an application for a wife and child."
' ' My Bill has been put in charge of
a spittoon. Will I get more pay?"
"Father says I have not received my
son's money. Mother died. Please
change her address."
"Dear Uncle Sam, U. S. A. Eec'd
your card saying he 'arrived safely over
seas. ' I wants to know is he in France
or where is he and what seas you talk
ing about. We are very worried as we
havn't seen his name in the casualty
list as dead or wounded. "
' I am writing to ask you why I never
rec 'd my elopement . ' '
"Just a line to let you know that I
am a widow and four children."
"You have taken my man away to
light and lie was the best man I ever
had. Now you will have to keep me or
who in Hell is to, if you don't?"
"Please send me my allotment. I
have a little baby and knead it every
day. "

WAR CAMPAICW MEDAL
Won Ir IT. II. IB. Ward-Golf Tour
it a ii' nt ItuiM Money for Orerneui
W. H. B. Ward is carrying home
with him to hang among the unique tro
phies of the golf club in Youngstown,
Ohio, the big bronze medal and likeness
of the immortal Foch, given at the Pine
hurst tournament Saturday. It was a
medal handicap match over Number 2,
played in conjunction with all the golf
clubs in America for the benefit of the
Great War Chest. It was conducted by
William Wilson, whose brother has seen
the game through from Ypres to Damas
cus and seen at that more than any
general in either army, his view of the
contest having been made from the dizzy
heights of a rocking balloon. Wilson
collected $133 from the line-up, and the
game was on.
In this, as in both of the other con
tests this season, G. L. Becker was
played for and looked the favorite until
the shades began to fall. His gross score
of 81 had no nearer rival than Franklin
Gates with an 86, Phillips, the Carolina
champion having taken to missing his
fifty foot puts. Becker's handicap of
eight brought him in with a card of 76.
And this stood through the long after
noon until the last of the driving column
could be seen shooting off from the
eighteen. But these last carried with
them the final honors. Ward had been
going strong and pushing his own accus
tomed pace.
He recorded 101 strokes, which with
a handicap allowance of 26, put him un
der the wire by one shot and a total of
7o. Dr. J. S. Brown was in third
place with 78.
