John Blake III letter to his father
and mother, Mr.. and Mrs. John Blake,
enclosed $50 in Carranza paper cur
rency for which be paid 40 cents. The
letter was written Sunday evening,
July 16, and he reported that it had
been the easiest day since arriving in
camp. There was battalion inspection
in the morning by Maj. Ashley and
new uniforms of light weight materials
were issued.
He writes that the men are soaked
to the skin about every dav now, as
the rainy season has started, but they
retire with their wet clothes on and
never catch cold. AS the men are per-
mittcd to leave camp now he was down
town three nights during the week and
saw many Mexicans, but the Americans
have no trouble with them.
He was on the International bridge
an hour the day before writing the let
ter and there watched the soldiers
| search every person and every package
| taken across. In one keg of lard they
| found bullets. He saws he must ia Ike
| the typhoid treatment three times more
| also the smallpox and rattlesnake
| treatment. 1t makes the men pretty
| sick for day or two but most of them
| are able to go out and drill. He was
| suffering from sunburn due to digging
a trench for an hour without a shirt
on. All the mea signed the payroll
Friday, July IA, and expect their pay
| about August /.
The men all think they are liable tc
be there from six to eight month:
from the way preparations for per
| manent camp continue to be made.

Park, and in the New York Tribune
Jane Anderson goes on to describe
her experience:
L was permitted to make this flight
to start from one of Britain's finest
aerodromes and see, spread in clear
colored panorama one mile and a half
below me, the houses and the streets
OF the greatest city in the world.
In the great field from which start
ed the turf was broken by patches of
black mud and the grass was beaten
uoWn by heavy rain of the morning.
But, on the wooden runway, with
her wheels blocked and her black
planes silhouetted against the sky. a
olplane was waiting. She was beauti-
ful-this machine. There was power
IN the sweep of her wings; there was
power in the shining blades of her pro.
peller.

were mounted on galvanized brackets,
they were particularly businesslike-

was wide seat, and the fusilage
formed my arm rest. There was
plenty OF foot space Captain X, who
was my pilot, got into his seat behind
me. To my right and above me a
deaths head design had been painted
in white on the wing.
We circled the field, headed into
the wind and were off. [ mean. we
dived up into the sky.
When we left the ground we left it.
1t was good climbing. 1t was good
and stiff. The black nose of the BIZ
plane pointed straight to the sun. /
saw, swiftly, visions of a stalled mo-
tor, of rapid backward slide.
Below us the roofs of the hangers
dropped away, and l saw, over the
whirring propeller, the great curve of
the Thames-the wide, splendid sweep
OF gray water, spanned by bridges.
Where two streets met there was a
house with a red roof-a big house set
little apart from long row of cot

a ship had gone to pieces on the rocks
IN the bay. When the lifeboat men
clambered aboard they found dying
woman clutching puny infant to her
breast. The child was girl: brought
ashore, it grew into a comely young
woman. The kindly fisherfolks who
reared her christened her Helen Clark.
That was as far as their magma
ton could run Helen and Tom the
son OF her foster parents neighbor,

young fisherman and the girl were en-

The idea was, not that the girl was
unworthy of Tom. but that some day
size would be claimed.

nation had been absorbed by the
Spanish war. The wreck had re

him. and he had never associated her
with the wreck. There was no rea-
son why he should have done so. He
had tried to trace her and the child
for years. but had only received a

island. who had seen the photograph
the year before, and heard the roman
