GrandsOns Off to War

Uncle Joseph Mathiasch this
week received an interesting letter
from his grandson, Joseph G,
Peters, a member of the 9th Engi-
neer Corps. Mounted, Camp
Stewart, Ell Paso, Texas. He is
assistant cook and baker and is
on duty every other day. He says
army life is not as bad as he ex-
pected. They have a fine bunch
of officers that treat the men we'll
and show them every courtesy and
tell them what they want to know
about their duties. The worst
feature of the camp is the sand
storms which occur nearly every
day but usually last only an hour
or so. Another grandson, George
Peters, is in the Marine service.
In company with his father, John
Peters of Chillicothe, he spent
Saturday night here visiting his
grandfather and other relatives
before leaving to report for duty
in the east. Although of foreign
parentage, the father being a
native of Alsac and their mother
of Austria, these boys are loyal
Americans and have gladly enlist
ed in the defense of their country.
