Letter From France.

,eived by DR.. A A. Cheney from his
ION, Paul E. Cheney, who is some

| No submarines were sighted and
he voyage consisted mostly of drills
| and cleaning the ship. Most of my
! work was of the latter nature, and
| coupled with the fact that we were
| allowed little or no time to ourselves
made the voyage farsafrom+ a thing of
| pleasure. The amount of work TO 4
1uired of both officers and. men us
| .bout all they can stand, and some
times more, and the result plainly
| shows in the spirit and temper zof

| ;afely and in good condition is the
| ssential thing, however I expect
| hat we will camp near here. for
ONE time, but it is impossible to get
| nything official much before it hap
