BUILDING THE SANN|ES Line

Manager Ivan Mcdaniel Of the Sa-
lem Commercial club, has received the
following letter from his brother, now
in France with the engineers corps,
containing many interesting details
and experiences of the trip across the
seas to the battle front in France:
Somewhere in France, Oct. /, II.
Dear Ivan:
Here is little summary of our trip.
/ call it for / think we are helping
and doing our bit.
While those religiously inclined are
debating whether or not we are to be
called Jonathans or Elihu's and the
contrary element holds out for Teddics
and Sammies, the fellows are busy
making their own name in the fight
that grows more crucial daily.
The engineers have been in France
for several weeks, and have been in
an especially good location for a gem
eral birdseye view of the situation.
There is little that can be said con-
cerning the work Of the regiment, due
to the strict censorship recently i'm
posed. Our location cannot be given,
nor our strength or special equipment.
Word from France has its own Pc
culiarity, and this must needs be in
that category.
An Oregon Company
Our company, recruited entirely in
Oregon, has but two representatives
from Salem, the remainder are from
Portland and the vicinity nearby. The
fellows are typically western and are
a match far any other company in the
field Up to the present date we have
not had single serious case Of i'll
ness nor lost man from accident or
thru the tactics of the enemy. Oar
men are practically acclimated at this
date and are as healthy bunch as
ever walked on the gridiron of ny

I clambered into the life boat. The
transport rolled over at perilous an

be seen for several miles. One cannot

did not hear a word other than of
command during the moments of our
I preparation for leaving the ship. The
two regiments were assembled on
board in very few minutes and all
made ready for ship leaving. 1t was
not until then that we were told that
lit was practice work, 1t was realistic
enough, especially during such stor-
my night.
Each life boat and raft was equip
lped for many days at sea and all made
in readiness for the slightest emer-
gency. The subs may have made rec
ord in the past but they are now being
worn down by the American vigilance
and the increased number of conveys
being put into service. The Germans
have sunk but one French vessel of
small tonnage during the past week
and hundreds of boats enter and leave
the port near which we are now situ-
ated.
We touched land at one point on the
American side before heading for Eng
land. We spent several days at an Eng
lish rest camp and then crossed the
channel for France. We spent day or
so at rest camp in the part Of France
where we first landed and then moved
to the point at which we are now sta
toned and at work.
Sent to Their Posts
In England we were received in al
peculiar manner. While me people
were very glad to have us come, yet
they took our arrival as a matter of
course. But few people of rank even
noticed our arrival or departuree.
Things were decidedly business like
and typically English
The boys got their first taste of
English money and many of us lost
several shillings before we "caught
on" to the system We would 90 into
the candy shop, pick out our chocolate
and hand out the huge coppers and
let the girl take what the sweets cost
and we got ours right and left for
several days.

Lines the Australians
America hears but little of the Aus.
tralians To my mind they are moro
nearly like the American fellows than
any Of the other allies. They are a
rough and ready lot and always on the
alert. They receive more pay than the
American but earn it ever bit We have
been associated with them ever since
landing on this side and I think that
they are liked better by the Americans /
than any of the other allied soldiers.
