Three Duluth boys are now seeing
service in China and it is probable more
would enlist for the Orient if half an
opportunity presented itself. At pres
ent Reuben Smith, formerly second lieu
tenant of Company G, is second lieu-
tenant in the Ninth infantry, which is
the first regiment ordered from the
Philippines to China. William Melby
is with the Third United States infantry
which has been ordered up from Manila,
and the third Duluth boy is George
Brian, son of Tom Brian, the popular
custodian of the city hall. Young Brian
is on the Brooklyn, and has had more
experience than most of his age. He
enlisted as an apprentice prior to the
war with Spain and during the war
served on the auxiliary cruiser Dixie.
He was transferred to the Brooklyn
and shortly afterward the ship was or
dered to Manila by way of the Suez
canal When the Boxer trouble began
in China the Brooklyn was hurried
northward to protect American inter-
ests and it landed one of the first crews
of marines.

ID. had very pleasant trip across
the Atlantic, and good week in ireland
before leaving for the continent The
trip across the English channel was the
worst sea voyage I have had, and for
start, after leaving the landing place at
Newhaven, in the South of England,
we ran into a pier. 1t was about
o'clock in the morning, very dark, with
high sea, and the wind blowing
strongly. 1t created quite little ex-
citement for while, and some of us
thought the jig was up with us that time
sure. However, we got through, and l
am enjoying myself in this gay city.
The exposition is grand sight truly,
and am going to see what can of it
in the time have. The weather is per-
feet. There are thousands of Ameri-
cans here. Yesterday the statue Of
Washington was unveiled, and today
the monument of Lafayette was un-
yelled. odd Glory is flying from the
top of the Eiffel tower today, 1000 feet
up, and it looks grand. The New York
Times publishes an edition in the ex-
position. 1t has five linotypes here and
Goss press. Only one edition day
is published. 1 presented my card and
was cordially received by the manager
and invited to view the plant. The ex-
position as whole is magnificent
sight, and is we'll scattered, so that it
takes lot of time and walking to see
it. Yesterday heard Sousa's splendid
band give program. The program was
made up mostly of American airs, and
the first number was The Star Span
gled Banner 1t was grand, and I
never really heard it played before then
1t makes an American throw his hat
high in the air and want to jump up
