I enjoy THE GREAT ROUND WORLD immensely, and look
forward to its coming every week. I like to read about Greece
and Cuba, and if I were Grecian I would gladly join in the war.
I hope Greece will win, for I pity the poor Cretans under the
cruel rule of Turkey. Wishing your paper many years of success,
I am,

Your friend and reader,

DEAR HAROLD:

Many thanks for your pretty letter. Write to us again soon.
EDITOR.

DEAR MR. EDITOR:

I want to ask you about the _Cometa_. Did the Admiral ever bring
her into the Havana harbor as he boasted that he would, with
flags flying on her?

Do you think Cuba is going to win? I hope that she will.

Are the Americans going to help them?--and then I know the
Cubans will win. Yours truly,

SYDNEY G.

MY DEAR SYDNEY:

The Spanish Admiral has never brought the _Cometa_ into Havana harbor. He
was just spinning a sailor's yarn, apparently.

You will see in this number of THE GREAT ROUND WORLD that there
is a chance that the President will try to settle the troubles between
Cuba and Spain.

EDITOR.

DEAR EDITOR:

Our teacher takes THE GREAT ROUND WORLD and reads
to us whenever the time will permit. The reading makes an
interesting part of the exercises of the day. We are all anxious
to hear about the war between Cuba and Spain, and we hope Cuba
will soon be free. Can you tell us about how many people pass
over Brooklyn Bridge in a day? I think it is wonderful how
buttons and such articles are made out of milk. Do they have
schools in Freeville? I think we should all be grateful for the
interesting news that is printed for us in your paper each week.

Yours truly,

DEAR NELLIE:
