An entirely new and up-to-date method of sending love messages to the dear ones at the front has been adopted by many prominent ladies of London, among them Mrs. Baden-Powell. The novel idea was conceived by Colonel Gouraud, an American, who suggested that the Phonograph might be made available for transmitting messages that would be ap- preciated far more by the boys in khaki than letters. Im- agine, he said, the feelings of those same boys when they could hear the well-remembered voice of mother, sister, sweetheart or wife whispering right into their ears. The idea took like wildfire, and Lord Vivian left for the front a few days ago with a whole load of the phonographic missives. An effecting incident was connected with the sending of Mis. Baden-Powell’s message to her son.
