BEAUTIFUL ARMY POST
Letter From Robesonian at Fort
Thomas, KY.

Thomas, KY.
Fort Thomas, KY, Sept. 13-I was
told before leaving home that this isl
the most beautiful army post in the
United States, and now that l have
seen it and beheld it's beauties l don't
wonder at it's holding such distinc-
tion.
Fort Thomas is situated on the
Kentucky side Of the Ohio river at a
point where the bank is about 800
feet above the river. On the Ohio
side, Just across the river, the bank
is low and the land out from it is
level for a mile, and then hilly and
rolling country as far as one can see.
We have many visitors on Sundays
and holidays, from the nearby cities
Cincinnati, Ohio, Covington and New
port, KY. They motor and walk on
the drives and sidewalks running
through the well-kept lawns to points
where they can look down upon miles
and miles of Ohio landscape, through
which the Ohio can be seen winding
it's way on toward the mighty Mis-
sissippi. Some of them love to talk
to the men in khaki, asking all kinds
of questions about the war, very few
of which we can answer. civilians
are not usually allowed within the
line of an army post, but this is only
a receiving post at which recruits re-
ceive their final examinations and II
accepted, get their uniforms, etc., and
transfers to different training camps
throughout the country.
North Carolina is one of the nine
States that send recruits to this post,
and there are more men here from
the Old North State than from any
of the other eight. I am not saying
this because I am a Tar Heel, but be-
cause it is a fact and the :oncensus
of opinion here.
North Carolina men are in the ma
iority up here, and they are going tc
be strongly felt by the enemy from
the first to the finals cover there"
A North Carolinian pulled the trigger
of the first American gun to sink
German U-boat and just as sure a:
sthe future will soon be present ane
the present will soon be past Norti
| Carolinian will fire the last gun O.
this world war, the report of which
shall echo throughout the world
"Peace on earth, good will to man
America will bring about righteou
settlement of this greatest Of al
world wars, that liberty may not per
II ish from the earth. And when tn
war is over, over there, North Caro-
lima and Robson will have done thel
share. ~ A.
