At one time everybody was asking the rich man—officially and unofficially: on” “How much money haye you got And if he made false reftiyns he was counted a liar. A little later people began to ask him: “How did you make your money?” And he was compelled to give an accounting. If he ground out the lives of the poor in swell- ing his income, or if he bribed men or took an unfair advantage of them, he was called a crook. Now everybody..is asked the rich man: “What are you doing-with your. money ?” And here is the real test of a man—whether he ‘has a lot of money or just, a little.

Private Block was origin- ally reported missing in weeks thereafter Mrs. Blo no word from her given him up until yesterday's casual- ty list proved him to be among the living. Mrs, Block yesterday receiv- ed the following letter from her sec- ond son in the service, Marvin. Block, who refers to the disappearance of his brother: Biencort, France. Dear Mother: Received your letter a few days ago but went away to school so did not get to answer sooner. . 8 I also had a letter from Julia a few days ago and it seems that every one I hear from wants to know something about Albert. I don’t know anything about him or can’t hear from him. I have written to him's:few ‘timés: but have never’ got any ‘answer.’ ‘I’ don’t know whether I have his right ad- dress or not. I wrote to him with the address you’ gave me “and Julia ave me his address which was différent. front that-1 got from:you and I wrote to him with. that, but haven't got any. answer yet. But [ should think even if you folks didn’t have his right address that he would write. He never was much of @ hand to write but if he wrote a lot when he was in the states I don't see why he should quit when he came across. Well Mother, I guess the war is over and I haven't seen any battle. We were at the front once but it was @ quiet sector and we didn’t do any fighting. \e went back from there and rested about a week and then started to the front where the real was was but it stopped while we were on the way so I think we can consid- ‘er ourselves lucky. We aren’t doing much now, just trying to keep out of the mud, but that !s\pretty hard to-do as this coun- try is ‘all mud’ most of the timo, One doesn’t like tostay here now as it ig not’ as interesting as it was when the war was on, but. we. can’t all come back at once, so I suppose we will be here a long time.
