Address,:


Mr. and Mrs. E. ]. Battles have re-
ceived a letter from their son, Lloyd
E. Battles, who is somewhere in
France. The letter in part reads as
follows:
Dear Folks: I am feeling just fine,
and enjoying things here, as a whole,
more than I expected to do. We have
a very pleasant camp situation-and
everything about it is far better than
l had looked for.
I have passed through quite mum
Der of miles of country, and it certain
-ly was interesting to me, to see with
my own eyes things not only interest
ing from the war condition, but things
of historical interest-things that a
year ago I much wanted to see but
still little thought that I'd now be
among them.
The French are wonderful people
in many ways. They are especially
sensitive, but very sympathetic. They
are more demonstrative than Ameri-
cans, of course; but one soon adapts
oneself to the new strangeness of it
ALL The Y NJ G. A. is doing a splen-
did work over here Besides the serv-
ices, they arrange entertainments of
various sorts, furnish large writing
rooms and have a canteen. And they
are plentiful enough to be conveniently
located.
I know my letters are not enlivened
with choice bits, but I'll save many to
tell you when l come back. Remem-
Der that yours aren't under the same
conditions at ALL so please write often
and much You know how l enjoy
and appreciate them.e
Take good care of yourselves.
Lovingly
LLOYD e. BATTLES.

The public schools in a Christmas
concert under the direction of Miss
Ella K. Jones, supervisor Of music and
drawing, was success. All Of the
numbers as advertised were given,
and, in addition a selection by George
Hill. The work in the schools under
the direction of Miss Jones has been
highly satisfactory After the enter
tainment one of those interested stat

for the newspapers, and this was
agreed upon. There was a misunder
standing which resulted in no report

knit them so that we could express
our thanks and appreciation.
l am feeling fine, and every man
here is fit for any kind of duty that
he may be called to do; the only draw
back is waiting to get acorss and to
get in action. | weigh one hundred

like a piece of tool steel nothing
seems to tire me.
This is a great military camp, but
that is all that there is here. All that
you can buy is candy and tobacco and
| nearly left out pie and cake, which
we patronize a lot, for the government
rations do not include much sweets,
although we get all the bread, potatoes
and meat that we can eat. The near
est store is a Fredericksburg, twenty
miles away, but does not do us any
good, for it is off the reservation.
Thanks for the box; you don't know
how one appreciates things like that
in the service. When one gets box
from home everyone crowds around
and looks to see what it is and get
his share, for we are all one big family
in our section, and when tobacco and
candy arrive they are always passed
around and each one has his bit. Well,
will close for this time Write me at
the same address as last time.
Yours with love,
