And Enjoys Being In
Z Battery

Mr.. and Mrs. A. b. Cummins of
BladensbuTg have received a letter
from their son, Wallace, bugler in E
Battery, in which he gives in detail
the condition of camp life and their
tents. Aside from that, he says that
he and his brother, Harry, are feeling
hne. The buglers and cocks are not
attached TO any certain section, so
they all eat and sleep together. He
says there are nine in his tent and
outside of having good board floors
and walls to their tents about four
feet high, they gave the floors a coat
of OIL so they aim to keep them clean
and polished, as they have to sweep
them every day. They will soon get
their stoves but he says it is not yet
cold enough for them. In mentioning
the fight of Ruth Law in her airplane,
he says the machine was about as
long as the town hall" at Bladens-
burg. Then in speaking a little praise
of the battery, Cummins says that the
l34th regiment has the best battery
and one that Knox county should be
proud OF. lie also said to tell his
friends who did not enlist that he is
sorry that they had not the nerve
