CAMP LEWIS, WASHINGTON.

Camp Lewis, Washington, Nov. 21. Editor News: I will have to ask you to have my paper sent to Camp Lewis, American Lake, Wash. We got here last Sunday from Vancouver, Wash. The 44th and 14th infantry was moved from there here, and the 63rd infantry from near San Francis co also got here Sunday, but our men are a mere squad among the bunch of drafted men that are here. This is the largest training camp in the west and I guess about the largest in the United States at present. There are somewhere near 10000 men here now. There were 50,o00 here but many have heen sent east during the last few weeks. The 91st division passed in review before Gen. Green yesterday. It was as pretty sight as l have ever seen. There were 25,000 men, and the parade was eight miles long. The first section passed Gen. Green at two o'clock, and 1t was almost dark when the last platoon passed. It is said to have been the most impressive mili- .ary spectacle ever seen ' the west. The soldiers of the national army, but lately pursuing their thousand and one peaceful oscaoations in factory. for est, mine or field. marcl,ed past the reviewing stand with the bearing of Ir4en long trained in the business Of war Through the long hours of the review Gen Greene sa upon his horse. receiving the salutes of his officers as they passed, his attitude Of stern mil itary discipline not entirely masking the satisfae ion and pside he felt in tie showing made by kis. division
 The bogs here are all pretty veil drilled. We have q bduch of French officers hete that are just pack from the front. and they give us all kinds Of war dope that may come n handy soon. It is the opinion ef alI the men that We are soon to etess. eat no one knows When the order comes We will be off and no one will know 1t. 1 don't think 1t will be later than
 - (censoreD at the longest. I would like to come and see every body before We leave, but q twenty four hour pass is the longest that We can get, so the best I can do Is go ov- CT to Seattle and spend the night.
 Well, as I just got out of hospital after putting in sixteen days, and walking post last night. you couldn't expect much of me, 50 will close My new address is Co. K, 44th L. s Inf. Camp Lewis, American Lake, Wash.
