NO FUN WITHOUT FUNDS
A New York editor said on his return from an official visit to the front:
“The soldier can still have a good time on his furlough, but the war prices make a good time costly.
“A handsome young American officer was sending a wire one day in a London postoffice where I was mailing a package. The girl telegraph clerk, running over the officer’s message said:
“‘I can’t make out whether this reads ”No funds“ or ”No fun.“’
“‘Oh, well, what’s the difference?’ said the officer, gloomily lighting a cigarette.”
