Don't worry - war is still going on. Eng, is trying to face the Dardanelles and Capt. Constantinople. Are about 1/2 way there. Also to get outlet for Russ. grain and fleet. Eng. and Ger. got blockade on each other. Nothing startling in position of army. US having hard job of keeping neutral - trouble with ENG and now Ger. has sunk US ship. 1 battleship ordered to Vera Cruz to scare Mexicans so more. Will have to use more stringent measures with her.
Wiki Note: Dardanells is also known as the battle of Gallipoli a campaign of the First World War that took place on the Gallipoli peninsula (Gelibolu in modern Turkey), from 17 February 1915 to 9 January 1916. The Entente powers, Britain, France and Russia, sought to weaken the Ottoman Empire, one of the Central Powers, by taking control of the straits that provided a supply route to Russia. The Allies' attack on Ottoman forts at the entrance of the Dardanelles in February 1915 failed and was followed by an amphibious landing on the Gallipoli peninsula in April 1915 to capture the Ottoman capital of Constantinople (Istanbul)

Warm and sunny.
Another kid got the part of Wilfred. Miss Watt said I would be fine for another part, but did not say what it was. We had a track meet with central in their gym. Walked over - we beat 'em 56 - 48 and the only gym we have is the basement hallway. Home, read, "etc."
