AN URGENT CASE

HUMOROUS LETTER TRIAL FOR WASHINGTON Among the humorous letters received. at Washington, U.S.A. during the World War, was the. following—"Mr Headquarters, U.S. Armory, Dear Mr Headquarters. My husband was induced into the surface long months and I ain't received no pay from him sence he. was gone. Please send me my elopement as I have a four months old baby and he is my only suport and I kneed it every day to buy food and keep enclosed. I am a poor woman and all that I have is at. the front. Both sides of my parents, are very old and I can't suspect anything from them as my mother has been in bed 13 years with one dortor and she won't take another. Mv husband is in charge of a spitoon. Do I get any more than I am going to get? Please send me a letter and tell me if my husband made application for a wife and child and please send me a wile form to fill out. I have already written to Mr Wilson and get no reply and if I don't hear from you Ij will write Uncle Sam about you and him. Very truly, Mrs Paul Quinn. p.S.—-My husband says he sets in the Y.M.C.A. every nite with the piano playing in his uniform. I think you can iind him there." Nowadays the family purse could do with 1-wheel brakes.
