Fellow Soldiers of Eugene Breen Write Tribute to His Parents.

Mr. and Mrs. Michael Breen were indeed proud upon receipt of the following letter of condolence from old Company G boys in France, who were close friends of Eugene Breen, who died a few weeks ago in Camp Dix:

"Company C, 114th Infantry,
"American E.F., France,
"November 3, 1918

"Mr. and Mrs. M. Breen,
"No. 131 Myer Street,
"Hackensack, N.J., U.S.A.

"My Dear Friends:---It was with the deepest regret that I learned of the death of your son, Eugene, who was my dearest comrade until we were seperated in service recently. And I wish in this letter to express my heartfelt sympathy to you, his fond parents and family.

"While his death was a shock and complete surprise to us all, we who are here in the midst of battle have been taught that to die the death of a soldier is the noblest death of all, and in giving his life for his country, he fulfilled his every duty to his God and his Country.

"His death should not be an occasion for sorrow, but on the contrary, you should be proud to have been able to have made the sacrifice.

"Although Eugene was not in France, his work was just as important and necessary to the country, and his death as noble as if he had lost his life in action.

"Respectfully yours,
GEORGE E. HEDGES
