THE WEST TALKS TO us.



Alhambra. Cal. November 8.
Dear Folks at Home; We arrived yesterday
afternoon all safe and sound though somewhat
tired. David and Stella met with the auto.
We had q nice drive 10 the house. The sun
was shining and it was warm July. We
had q very comfortable trip, though of course
we had few OF the diseomforts of travel.
Dr. Suite left Us at Ogdon He said he had
been across the continent six times and
thought this the best and easiest trip he had
ever made.
As soon as we left Viroaua we realized fully
that we were in war. At all the stations We
saw boys in khaki, either singly or by the doz-
en-. At SanBernadSno we stood for ten min
utes beside a train load of them On the trip
was one poor boy from Virginia who had gone
10 Canada and enlis Z in 1915. The Germans
wounded him in thu trenches, then threw gas
until he was unconscious. While he didn I
realize il they captured him and cut off the
right arm, which wasn't badly wounded and
might have been saved. They didn't want
him to be able to fight again. He was then
exchanged and sent home. The doctors say
never be right again He was going TO Og-
den hoping il might benefit him.
We felt pretty well tired out this morning,
but had such nice ride this afternoon that
dia, where they thought there was an
campment. but ] think the soldiers had gone.
We were laid out all the way along for the
government supplies as those trains had the
right of way.
II is dry and dusty here now. but flowers
are still in bloom. There are twenty-five big
red geranums each side the walk, the size of
currsnt bushes. The callas are just springing
up. having been dorment all summer. The
Shasta daisies come next the walk and will
spring up as soon as the rain comes. There
were nice bouquets of roses and chrysanthe
NUNS in the rooms. The roses are still bios
quite beautiful.
