The motorcycle police who guard the
State highway at and near Biddeford
take exception to the statements pub
l'shed in some of the newspapers in re-
gard to out-of-State motorists being
arrested for breaking the speed laws
and Maine car owners allowed to go
unmolested. They declare that such is
not the fact. Speed naniacs have in
the past made it unsafe to drive a car
on the State highway. Some were
from out of the State and others were
Maine men. One morning not long
ago three men from Biddeford were
fined in the Portland municipal court
for speeding on the highway between
Riddeford and Portland. A number Of
Old Orchard residents have been COM

Dear Parents and all:
! / will write you al a few lines
to let you know am all right
yet, and hope you all are the
same, Well, today is Saturday,
and l haye just pissed inspection
and have nothing else to do till
| Monday, so l am afraid | am go
ing to get a little lonesome be.
fore then. I sure would like to
be at home now, for today and
tomorrow, but am afraid I will
not get to come at all for they
don't talk like they will let US of
more than 81 hours at 4 time and
it would take me just q hours to
get there So there is not much
chance of getting back for a
while yet. Well, have found all
the boys from there but Ira
Stout and | think he is still at
Funston. I think most of them
like it better here than they did
at the other place but they get
fed better than We do for some
reason, | don't know why.
We all got some more clothes the
other day. | have got three suits
of summer underclotEes, two
suits of wool underwear, two
flannel shirts, two pair Of cotton
pants, one pair of unionalls, one
hat, one evercoat, one coat, two
pair OF shoes, one pair of what
they call dress shoes; that is, q
pair of tan she's, and a pair Of
tield shoe, and they sure are
good ones; / be ieye they are the
heaviest shoes I ever wore, with
the soles filed full of big headed
tacks and a pair of heel irons on
the heels. I think thot is about
all we get but a pair of wool
pants aud a wool jtcket or blouse
but that is enough to try to keep
clean in a place like this and we
do not get any hot water here
all winter to even wash in and
we have to -t,ke a bath and
change underwear at least twice
q week so I guess it will not be
much fun If we'have to stay here
all winter but l don't have auy
idea how long. we will have to
stay: we may move in two weeks
and we may be here all winter,
but l hardly think SD.
How is your meeting getting
along by now? hope it is doing
good. l would like to be there
to attend but l will try and do
my best here, they generally have
| church here a. the Y. NJ. c. A .
about once "a week. They have
not got the Y. Nj. {. A. fixed up
here half as nice as they did at
Funston or any thing else for
lit is more like real war here and
not much chance for pleasure
but | guess that 10 al we need
to expect as that is al we are
here for.
| We got another talk yesterday
from our general and he said We
would sure have to go TO France
all right so it would be for our
own good to take heart in our
drills and do our best, but-he
said we were second best drill
edengineers in the Uaited States
but most of them are old men;
that is, most of them have been
in for quite while.
j II you have not ordered that
razor yet l wish you would send
