u. S. OFFICER AT FRONT

Murray II. Spahr Jr., second lieu
tenant in the United States Army in
France, recently wrote a letter home.
He is graduate of the University of
Pennsylvania and was practicing law
in Philadelphia when Uncle Sam
called for volunteers, and he was
among the first to go. He is the son
of Mr.. and Mrs. NJ. II. Spahr, of 10
South Market street, Mechanicsburg.
In a previous letter he tells that
he is living in a palace in the midst
of a beautiful park, with fine drive-
ways, fountains and flowers, until
further orders. He was delighte ed
with the reception by the French
people
Lieutenant Spahr's letter follows:
Somewhere in France.
September 80, 1917.
Mother dear-The last day of Sep
tember;-seems almost as though
there had been no summer this year.
Every thing has passed so quickly.
Little did 1 think a year ago that
1 would be here to-day. But here
we are, and a beautiful day it has
been. 1t is Sunday and this morning
Dave and 1 took a walk through the
forest. We walked out about four
miles. The roads are splendid and
the highway cut right through the
forest But everything seemed so
quiet and peaceful! Again this aft
ernoon we walked in another direc-
tion and took one of the paths
through the forest We are sur
rounded on all sides by a wonoerl vi
forest and no doubt it will be more
beautiful as the fall advances and
the leaves turn.
Our meals are very good. There is
not so much variety, but the cooking
is excellent. To-day, for example,
for breakfast we had shirred eggs,
brown bread, coffee or tea and but
ter. For lunch, roast beef. delicious
French fried potatoes, brown bread,
butter, cheese and tea. For dinner
this evening we had soup. cold beef,
green beans, brown bread. tea. cheese
and a pudding. This gives you II
fairly good idea. We have carrots
and never have I tasted such good
cnes, with all due respect to Aunt
Sara. The French, of course, are
noted for their culinary art. For
tunately for me. 1 am very fond of
brown bread, for that is all you see.
Then, too, we have good butter.
l understand that it takes several
weeks for mail to reach its destina-
tion. 1 sure hope it does not take
any longer than that. Upon learning
that we could send a cable, mailed
one to Paris at once addressed to
Father and saying: Safe; we'll" /
trust you received 1t.
