BRITISH FIELD HOSPITAL,
France, April %, 1917.-Dear
Pal Blacky: l suppose you will
wonder how on earth l found out
where you were. Fred Haslaam,
who was in your company and
was here with us, was talking
about you one day, and CHANGED
to overhear the conversation.
Well, Blacky, they came near
getting me a few days ago, but
believe l will come through all
right.
1t was early in the morning
and they were just passing the
coffee around when Fritz let loose
his extra gas. So coffee was
forgotten and everything was
hurry. For you always find Fritz
pretty close behind his stink
cloud. Well, we done the best we
could but the lads had not taken
a wink of sleep for two days, and
when l came to l was in hos
pital with a little Belgian wom-
an trying to make me believe
that / could understand Belgian.
(Oh) Leach these are grand
women. And believe me, when
ever we have found some awful
thing the boches have done to
any of these angels, the Dutch
catch hell next day. If it were
not for the wrongs done the wom-
en-, no man could ever make the
sacrifices that are made every
day. want to tell you about
my dream. thought you Ter
lows were over here and a bri-
gade of Iowa troops was in sup
port on our sector. They were
beating us down when the call
for help was sent, which meant
the reserves were coming IN at
the ninth inning. l was wounded
and down, but when those flags
swept by, it seems that my soul
was born again. AS | gazed at
the flag that spelled Iowa, and
then the one that meant United
States, i stood up and saluted,
for | was sure that our part OF
the line would hold. l don't re-
member any more, but, if it had
happened in the real, the boches
would ever remember the men
from old Iowa. l suppose every
body back home still thinks l
am not worth damn, but / am
doing the best can to leave be-
hind a different opinion.
Well. I must close, as my side
is hurting and 1 am pretty weak.

you.

Athletes from Kamehameha school
and other students are back from a
tour OF Hawaii where they spent a
very pleasant vacation. Members OF
the party to the number of 10 visited
the Volcano and other points Of inter
est around the island of Hawaii.
On Friday evening the Kamehame,
ha basketball team was defeated by
the Hilo boarding school by a score
Of 29 to IL. The, baseball game was
not played on account of rain, but
ON Saturday evening the Kan boys
came back strong and captured the
basketball game. On the same even.
ing the Cadets gave a concert and
dance at the armory in Hilo. d
The dress parade and exhibition
drill on Sunday was a feature of the
visit to Hilo, and was warmly received
by the Hilo people. The Hawaii Post
has this to say about the cadets:
The highly pleasing demonstration
by the Kan cadets at the park yester-
day afternoon vas proof sufficient
that made in Hawaii" is good enough
to be applied to our soldiers, too. For
nearly two hours the boys were put
through every movement known to
military tactics without a single mis-.
hap from start to finish. 80
= Capt. Booth is to be congratulated
On the success he has attained with
his cadets the equal of which it woulh

will open this year on May !, when
St Louis and Mckinley meets at Atif-

81 Mills field. The other games of
the year will be played at different pc
RODS, as arranged.
Both Mckinley and St Louis W ii
play in the opening games of the Pa
cifiC League on Saturday, May ;, and
as many OF the Pacific League play
ers are members of the interschol2St site
teams it is expected that the inter.
scholastic games viii be shifted to
some other date. especially. when Nc
Kinley and st. Louis are playing.
Frank Midkiff of Funahou said that
he favored this plan, and inasmuch as
Brother Elmer and Henry Chilling
worth are both at the head of the Pa
cific League teams it is thought that
conflicting games in the interschol-
astic will be played on Thursday or
Friday.
st. Louis will have a strong team
this year, and Mckinley. coached by
Henry ChillingwOrth, will also be in
the field Kamehameha has a mum.
Der Of stars back in the game, and
Punahcu and Mills will be greatly
strengthened. Tie race should re.
solve itself into a battle between st.
Louis and Mckinley, although the
high school will miss Gordon Ross,
who has left school. Ross will be
eligible to play with the Mckinley
team in the Pacific League.
