largely to enable any of the fellows in
town in a transient way to attend them.
  It occurred to us that we might be en-
abled through your help to spread this in-
formation and invitation among the fel-
lows while they are still abroad so that
they will have it in mind when they ar-
rive here. Will you be good enough to let
me have the exact address of the Paris
Union for University men which was es-
tablished a short time ago, so that I may
have  -letter- posted-there.- --Perhaps -you
can supply me with the name of the per-
son who should be addressed there.
  Then I would like to address a circular
letter to some, say a hundred or so, of
likely fellows in the Service who could
help pass this idea around among the
others over there. Probably officers would
be better able to do this than privates.
Have you a list of commissioned U. W.
men you could let me have? Perhaps you
could offer some other suggestion?   I
would be only too glad to get it if you have.
