PHILLIP, West Peabody, Mass. ie ISN’T often I make the Camp-Fire listen to ‘‘boosts” for the magazine— indeed, many of you know from personal experience that any compliments or kind words for ‘Adventure are carefully cut out from your letters before they go into type for the rest to read. So perhaps, since we print free notices for those who wish to sell back copies of the magazine, we may beal- lowed to print one from a man who won’t sell them. (I remember, now, that I went and did this once before!) I notice in your last issue of Adventure a demand for old issues. I have not missed one month as yet and in my bookcase one can see Adventure, Vol. 1, No. 1, November, 1910, right up to Vol. XI, No. 2, December, 1915. Although the offers made by your correspondents of $1.00 per dozen and 15c per issue are tempting enough, I could not bring myself to part with my collection, as it is my intention to present the whole set to my son and heir as soon as he is old enough to read good clean fiction like what is found in your magazine. I doa little roam- ing myself occasionally, but always manage to get Adventure every month as soon as it is on the stand. I note that the Montreal Branch Adventurers’ Club has gone out of existence and no wonder—all of the adventurers in this city are in the firing-line in France doing their bit, but we hope to see them again some time.—A. H. RicHARpsoNn, Montreal, Canada. Send in your LETTER-FRIENDS Note—This is a service for those of our readers who want some one to write to. For adventurers afield who want a stay - at-home ‘“‘letter bunkie,’’ and for stay - at - homes, whether ex-adventurers or not, who wish to get into friendly touch with some one who is out ‘‘doing things.’’ We pub- lish names and addresses—the rest is up to you, and of course we assume no responsibility of any kind.

A brief note to let you know I have not forgotten you. I have had few facilities for writing you of nes but take the will for the deed and let it go at at. Your notice in the magazine brought me quite a number of correspondents whom in my name I wish you to thank. I shall endeavor to answer them all later on if only with a postcard. I do not wish them to think I am forgetful of their kindness in writing to a wanderer, but truth to tell, I have not had either time or opportunity. The ones I wished to get in touch with, however, have not yet mate- rialized, but quien sabe, perhaps later on. Your case of magazines arrived O. K. early in the year, and I had great pleasure in sending them to the wounded in the hospitals, and I have no doubt that they whiled away many weary hours. WITH the approach of Christmas, the weather has turned bitterly cold and we are feeling the effects of it. But it is no use growling; it is all in the joke. Things are very quiet along the West- ern front, that is, quiet as compared to the last few months when Friend Fritz was quite busy. The game is here, but I expect that, locked in as he is, Uncle Bill will soon begin to feel the pinch. It is miraculous the way they are hanging on. I shall have some great copy for you later on. At present it is impossible. I hope, however, in the near future to be across the Pond and will pay you a call if I win through all safe—Harry C. WINTERS. OME news about Theodore Goodrich Roberts, one of our writers and a member of our Camp-Fire: I noticed the little bit about your not hearing from Theodore Goodrich Roberts. As it happens, the Robertses are old friends of ours, as we lived in Frederickton, N. B., Canada, their father being Canon of St. Anne’s Parish and ours Dean of the Cathedral. My “big” brother, who is at present a lieutenant in the Aeroplane Corps of the R.N. V.R., ran into Thede at Shorncliffe. Thede was at the time a lieutenant in one of the Canadian regiments stationed there. Since then he has been appointed assistant to the official Eye Witness. Perhaps this is stale news to you, but at any rate there’s no harm in telling youuJAcK B. PARTRIDGE, Rochester, ¥. OU will remember that we had a letter from an American who spoke of see- ing Japanese cruisers at the “Japanese naval base at Turtle Bay,” and later a let- ter from a man on a Canadian war-ship who said the idea was all bosh. Here is a letter which makes it look very little like bosh: As I happen to be the fellow who started all the uproar about the Japanese being in Turtle Bay, Lower California, Mexico, by “breaking the story” on April 15 of last year in the Los Angeles Times, I read with much interest the letter from a British COMmMichoooks (CO
