practice trenches about 1I:l5,
we put up some tents TO repre-
sent our dugouts and furnish us
shelter for the night. We ma
neuvered just as though we were
in real trenches and i'm battle
This began at 9 p. IN. and lasted
till about 8:i5 p. m. We then hit
the hay until 5:25 This morning.
We then had morning check. Soon
after we had our breakfast of
beef stew and coffee and bread.
We lOafed until o when we again
commenced mancuNcrs. This
continued until noon. Had our
dinner OF beans and coffee. About
| p. m. we struck tents and packed
up. BY l 80 We were all ready
and then hiked hack to camp. Ar.
rived at camp about $3.50, very
TIED and quite Worn out.
We had excellent weather TODAY
and 1T sure seemed good, as we
have been having punk weather
for nearly one month.
The day | received your letter
] also received 80 letters and four
packages, so you can judge how
busy l have been answering lhe
bunch. AS yet, the hov OF candy
has not arrived, but as it takes
longer for packages 10 set here
| can hardly expect it for a wccl;
yet.
From all accounts, Mo. Valley
is making many changes for tho
Deter. Here's hoping so, as il
sure could stand a bunch OF
changes all o. Il. If there are
many changes made, us fellows
will have to be escorted from the
station when we get back.
AS per the heading ON this
writing material, | am using Sal
walton Army paper and also their
building. Believe me, The $. A.
sure have a fine building here. Ii
is about 35xt25 feet i'm size
we'll lighted and moderately heat
ed. AT the present time. the
building is full to the brim. II
seems as though the fellows like
the salvation Army building and
its many cOnvcnicncns better than
The Y. NJ G.. \. Seems queer that
he 5. y. can make their moncN
go farther.
There are three men and foul
women working here in connec-
ton with the S. a. Sure seems
quite honey" in here, hut to have
my little feet under mas table
would be III.
Mr.. Hickey, thc manager of Tn,
>. A. here, is a very fine man
Each evening he arlangcs rol
lunches to be made for those wlo
wish to buy. For instance, coco;
and an egg sandwich can b,
bought for Y francs. or abou
30 cents. Very cheap at that. \
couple of nights ago they hac
cake and coffee for a franc, am,
the night before they had pie an,
coffee for franc. Sure nice ant
handy. We have magazines
checkers, chess, dominoes, Vic
lrOla and piano. A small librar,
is also in connections.
AS you undoubtedly read NOR,
in the papers about us than | an
lallowed to tell. you don't want tt
believe all you read, by any means
would like to tell you about 81
many things of real interest, tina
have seen, but the censorship
rules that we save all until VIC &c
back there and tell it.
Well, ] have wasted abou
cnoueh OF perfectly good papc
and not said much either, so
had better close. Tell Vcrnie an,
family hello. With hest wishes {,
you and all, ] am, your friend,

LETTERS FROM U. G. FOX.
Somewhere i'm Franco


My Dear Mother:
AS | have a few minutes to
spare and owe you "a letter, /
guess I'd better get busy.
I'm getting along fine and have
nothing to complain Of We don't
have all the comforts Of home,
but we are getting all that could
he expected. I've been working
real steady and wish | could tell
YOU about my work, but can't.
We dom think The war will last
much longer, but one can never
tell.
My regiment is the first of the
Americans to be in active service
and consequently we have some
thing to be proud of.
We haven't received any mail
for about Two weeks, and we all
want a few letters very badly.
I'm glad father has received an
| increase and hope you will gel
along fine.
Id like to be there to go duck
hunting on the Platte river or ir
the sandhills of Nebraska.
There isn't much to write, bu
when get home I'll nave lot te
tell. Yours lovingly,
U. C. FOX.
Somewhere in France, Oct. 81
Dear Folks:
Received your letter yesterday
the first mail we've had for thre
Missouri Valley times. [volume] (Missouri Valley, Iowa) 1874-1931, 1917-12-13
3. Somewh'ere NOV 81 4ei,

Somewhere, Nov. 8, 1917,
Mr.. w. H. Gamble, Mo. Valley.
/ Dear Doctor: I received your
very fine letters and was certain
ly glad to hear from real Amer
lean. 4. just got through writing
to Bill, so I'll try to let you know
that l appreciate your letters.
am feeling fine and getting along
just O. X. :
lt'is' now about $50 p. m. and
about rs minutes till bunk time.
l am writing here in our Salvation
Army building. 1t is very fine
building and offers many ,conven-
lences. To be truthful, it is much
better than the Y. M. C. A. con-
nected here. can't quite UNDER
stand why it is that the s. A. with
their few thousands can do as
much as they with it's millions.
This place is very honey" as
there are -four real American wo-
men and three men connected
with the Salvation Army here.
We are furnished reading and
writing paper and a few things
for amusements,. as checkers,
chess, dominoes, a Victrola and
some good records, and a fine pi-
ano. The fellows take advantage
OF everything too, as the place is
as busy as a bee, daily. We can
buy chocolates and candies and
falsins here. After supper we are.
usually able. to get pie, cake and
coffee here, too. I had couple
;of egg sandwiches few minutes
ago, and sure good. Only cost
half frame each (1Oc).
You undoubtedly know the Am
erican troops are now doing their
bit on the firing line. Three
cheers for U. S. A. and our folks
at home, and damn the kaiser and
his arms.
With one exception, our Valley
bunch are in good health. Glenn
Ball is confined in hospital with
rheumatic.
On account of strict censorship
! am limited, to few things to say.
However, | can state that such
things as McDermott has told in
his letters. are only a. few. Of our
experiences. AS our bunch were
in the very first bunch to land In
France we have seen many more
things than we have told. Y
Iahave seen captive dirigibles.
aeroplane, battles with about
twenty planes participating; war
implements such as howilzers,
field artillery, bombs, grenades,
mortars, etc. We have seen Ger
man prisoners by. the hundreds
and hope to get some of our own
soon.
As it is just about time for the
place to close, Twill not have time
enough to write another page full
so will close.:fof now. With best
wishes to.all, as ever, yoursfrief1d,
BRENNAN. DOUGLASS.
P. s.-Eat a turkey leg for me
and I'll bring you the kaiser's
goat for Thanksgiving next year.

sitIon is Solomons Island, in the
Chesapeake. as a marine corps train

ing to Congressman Linthicum OF
Maryland.
Already, the Government is trying
to acquire Kent Island, in the Chesa-
peake, as a laboratory and proving
ground for big army and navy guns.
II Is said the Governments plans for
the utilization of Chesapeake Bay
and its islands will require an expen-
diture OF 100000
Naval officials. 1t is understood. are
particularly anxious to have a rail
road built from Baltimore to Drum
Point, Nd, to supply the Solomons

JENNIE LOSES HER 81
AND FAITH IN MANKIND
Lothario Leaves Baltimore Bride
to-Be Minus Modest BankrOn.

BALTIMORE, July 10.-Jennie Flax
went to Ellicott City with the man of
her heart seated beside her, with
sT.15 in her pocketbook. and with the
thought that before the afternoon
was over she would return to Balti-
more with a marriage license.
Jennie returned at twilight without
the man, the $T.15. or the marriage
license, even without belief in the
trustworthiness OF masculine vows.
Jennie didn't get married because
the man who was to marry her, after
borrowing the 81 and telling her TO
wait in a drug store, disappeared.
The bride-to-be waited several hours
and then sought out the police and
told them her troubles
1t happened in this way: On Sun
day Jennie, so she told the police,
had a quarrel with her family. She
left her home, vowing never to re-
turn. Sunday afternoon she met "a
nice young fellow" who told her his
name was Lee Strasser, and that he
was from Philadelphia. Sunday night
they became engaged.
Today they decided to have the cere-
mony. performed at Ellicott City,
and on their arrival Strasser dis
covered he was short OF funds and
asked Jennie II she could let him
have a few dollars for a few days,
when he would have plenty, to pur-
chase the license, ring. etc, and Jen-
ME gave him 81.
Then he told her to wait at the
drug store while he bought the ring
and license.
