And no people forget so quickly a?
the Americans.
But every one of those men ym

WHAT THE GOBS DID
—YOU CAN DOJ
During the war and even directly
after the signing of the armistice, few
Americans knew about or had even
heard of the great U. S. Naval Avia
tion Supply Base at Pauillac, France
This station, from the time it wai
built early in 1918, has carried on its
work with the utmost secrecy, not
only because the work was of aucl
an important character that especial
effort was made to keep all knowledge
of activities from the enemy, but be
cause it was the navy’s job; and om
seldom hears about the achievement!
of the navy.
For instance, the news of ,h<
amount of money the men at Pauillac
station subscribed to the Fourth Lib
erty Loan until now has been kept 3
modest secret. Of course, the sub
acrlbers undoubtedly realized at th*1
time they had established a record
which no other army or navy outfit
equaled. But they would not talk.
On September 28, 191S, when the
Fourth Liberty Loan campaign opened
there were 3.168 men at Pauillac. Cap
uun r. i. avails, u. a. i\., me coin
manding officer, set the quota of the
station at $350,000, not believing foi
one moment this amount would be
subscribed by his men. However
they not only reached their quota, but
altogether they bought $513,600 ol
bonds, which averages about $162 pei
man.
Comparatively speaking, the Pauli
lac station had about as well an or
ganized Liberty Loan campaign as anj
town in the United States. The cam
paign was organized and put through
entirely by the men. On the openinf
day of the Liberty Loan original post
ers designed by the artists among the
aviators, sailors, mechanics, etc., ap
peared in every available bill-postinf
spot. The Pauillac Pilot, the daily
newspaper of the station, came out
with a Liberty Loan edition, Just as
many of the metropolitan newspapers
did. Aeroplanes circles over the sta
tion dropping Liberty Loan literature.
One of tjhe “Orders” dropped read:
From: Your Uncle Sam.
To: You, Sailor
Via: Airplane,
Subject: Fourth Liberty Loan.
Reference: Paymaster.
(1) You are hereby ordered to buy
a one-hundred-dollar or fifty-dollar
Liberty Bond and otherwise do your
damnedest to boost the Liberty Loan
drive on Pauillac station.
(2) Proceed to Bldg. No. 1 and
there dig down and come across. The
yeoman will not refuse you.
(3) Duty completed, proceed to
your barracks, thinking of apres la
guerre, the girl, etc., and say to your
self: "A wise man am I.”
(Signed.) UNCLE SAM.
Buy Directly.
It cost the United States about thres
million dollars to build one of tb<
naval aviation supply stations in th<
world, and It is the pride of the met
of this station that with their Libert?
Bonds they helped pay one-sixth of th<
cost.
MAKE THE FAMILY dollars saf,
for the children through the purchas
of Victory Loan Notes just as th.
soldier made the world safe for do
mocracy through sacrifice.
IT IS YOUR WAR. It Is your vie
tory. Lend your share to pay tbi
bills.

Newark Soldier Sees
His Mule in France

Odell Rutledge, who is in ‘.he military
service in France.
March 27, 1919.
Aly Dear Aunt.—Will write you a
few lines to let you know I am still
alive and well.
I sure would like to come over and
stay all night with you but don’t
guess I can come for a few nights
yet. I jus' can’t forget the good old
times that we boys and girls used to
have at your house. I think of it ev
ery day of the world, and then think
of me being away over here in this
God-forsaken country. I sure do ha'’e
the blues and 1 am not by myself
either. Every boy over here is in the
same shane. IWe boys all want to
come home. That is all you can hear
out of the boys We came over here
willingly and went through H-to
win this war and now that the war
is won. we want to go home. Do you
blame us? But instead of going
home, we are building up these blam
ed French roads. They say we have
got to leave the roads in as good
shape as we found them. 1 guess it
is right, but you can’t make us boy’s
believe it. They tell us that we will
go back like we came over—first over
first back. That is fair alright, but
I think they could send us a little
faster if they wanted to. I am sure
the rulers of the country oguht to
fix things so there fill be no more
wars, because war is Hell and I am
a boy that wants to get out of it and
get back to the god old U. S. A. and
get to doing something worth while,
for I am tired of looking at these
blamed old Frenchmen. We boys call
them frogs, but I will have to admit
they have some pretty girls over
here. But still they are nothing like
our girls. I am getting to w'here I
can speak this language pretty well,
but still I am not satisfied over
here.
I have just seen Vird once since
I have been over here and that was
before war ended. I got his address
that you sent me and wrote him the
next day, so I guess I will hear from
him in a few days. There is not even
one boy with me that left home with
me. But there are a few boys from
Arkansas in this company. But my
best pal is from Corinth, Miss., a boy
by the name of Perkins. He sure is
a good boy. I told him about you and
mamma coming from Mississippi.
My Corporal is sitting here readii.g
a book and has ‘he blues so bad he
can hardly see. He’s wating for me
to get this letter wrote so he can
get in an argument writh me for he
is a Baptist and I am a Campbellite.
Ho carries his Bible in his pocket and
some times we have it up one side
and down the other. But he is a pret
ty smart Kind of a boy, so I have a
pu tty hard time getting ahead of him.
Tell Mr. Magness I saw old Tohe
over here, and they had him to a
wagon loaded with shells and the
driver was walking after him with a
pitch fork. He knows that mule that
I used to haul hay with.
1 can't find time nor paper enou
gh t<» tel you all I have seen or wei<t
through with since I left home, so I
will just have to wait until I come
home and tell you about it. I think
we will get home about July.
(live my love to everybody.
Your Nephew,
