LETTER FROM
SOLDIER BOY

Chronicle u wish to tell your
readers something about this great
military training camp, where
Uncle Sam is training thousands
OF young men for service in France.
In the first place the word Sim
mense" fails to do justice to the
subject. | have been over a good
portion of eighteen States and have
seen various enterprises in opera
tion, some of them on a big scale,
but nothing to compare with this
one. The United States Govern
ment owns thousands of acres here,
about FIVE miles from Columbia,
the capitol city of South Carolina,
and upon this immense tract of
land have been and are still being
erected large barracks.
Nearly all Of these buildings are
two.story structures 40x150 feet,
lighted by electricity, heaters, hot
and cold water aud all necessary
buildings and arrangements for the
comfort and convenience of the
soldier boys. They have all drawn
winter clothing, and together with
heavy blankets and overcoat they
are going to start to France with a
lot of stuff to take care of-much
heavier than most Of us would care
to carry very fart should guess
about Is pounds. And there is no
doubt about their going to France.
The officers are giving the boys
vigorous drilling, and there are
about twelve English and French
officers giving them training in
trench warefare.
/ saw a lieutenant from the Rus
sian Navy here on the day of the
flag raising, November /. The flag
pole is 153 feet high. It is set in
concrete, and is there to stay for
long time. The large flag was
slowly raised and as it unfurled to
the breezes 1000 small flags were
released and foated on the gentle
autumn air and were carried away
as souvenirs. [ secured one, and
sent it home to East Tennessee.
Tennessee boys are numerous
here, and there are several from
Benton County. Among those
with whom / have become ac-
quainted is Harold Robertson, a
first class man, who occupies 3
similar position to mine that of a
regimental supervisor over the
culinary department.9 | have met
Will Phifer, who is just getting
over the measles. He tells me
that Charles Phifer and Jesse Paf-
ford are here, though | have not
met them.
Will Phifer tells me that my old
friend, James Hawley, lives near
Big Sandy. 1 have not forgotten
our early boyhood days, Uncle
Jim, and I'd like to see you folks
once more, but don't know about it,
for I'm in the Government service
and can't turn lose very well, for [
am drawing good salary and will
probably be needed a long time.
1 may go to France, though | hard
ly think so, for | have nice little
home and wife and three children.
) We are anticipating swell dim
ner on Thanksgiving. As to the
grub or "chow" we get here, if you
think we are not getting enough to
eat ask Harold Robertson. Our
bill of fare for supper tonight
November 14) was roast beef,
creamed rice, stewed prunes, lem
onade, French fried potatoes and
slight" bread. You may doubt it
when | tell you that it cost less
than so cents a day to feed the
