follows:
Dearest Mother:
Well mother, what do you think of
the war situation at present All of
the accounts given in the papers are
true. AS the Allies are making some
wonderful drives and retaking the ter
ritories which We're taken from the
French. Where We are at present To-
Gated was once German soil, which bat
ties were fought on about four years
ago. The woods are just laden with
barbed wire entanglements and dummy
trenches. We have been on two ma
noeuvres this past week. And on both
occasions we have been in the third
line dummy trenches Saturday we
We're on the rife range, and not being
out there but a short time we were
compelled to retreat and go 10 our bill
let's. And we surely were q good look
ing bunch, for one to cast their eyes
upon. Our retreat was of a strange
nature. The Germans We're not the
cause of the same. It was caused by q
natural phenomenon. 1t rained in tor
rents and during the downfall OF the
water, hail made its appearance upon
the scene. So by the time we reached
our billets about half mile away, all
of us boys were drenched to the skin.
Nevertheless, all OF us enjoyed the
bath.
Mother l am going to have my
picture taken with my gas mask on in
few minutes. So I will send you
some of the same. / though / would
get my picture taken but it was too
dark so l will wait another time
Mother is Raymond in France? From
all of the rumors, it is understood that
the 315th Infantry is across the

The work over here isn't at all hard,

ARRIVED SAFELY
ON french SOIL
Private George A. Myers Writes
From Overseas To The
Capital
TIDYING UP A VILLAGE

Private George A Myers, of the
SO4th Ambulance Company. S14 SAM
tary Team, American Expeditionary
Forces. writes, under date Of August
8. from Somewhere in France" to the
F., Capital. as follows:
August 3. 1918.
Dear Capital:
we have arrived safely over in
France We left Camp Meade on the
Sth of July and went aboard the
French transport, (deleted,) joining
twelve other ships and conveys.
Our trip over was without much
excitement. two days were very rough
and I think nearly every one was sea-
sick; going through the most dan
gerous zones we slept on our life belts
and on deck, but were lucky in not
seeing a submarine.
we landed at (deleted) and camped
there three days in shelter tents, then
took train, and were travelling for
two nights and three days into France.
Now we are living in old barns and
sheds, in an old village quite near the
front.
"One day we could hear the boom
ing of cannons. so you can realize just
how near the front we are.
All the boys from Annapolis are
well, and often wish they were back
to the good old U. S. A.
To-day our Chaplain held services
in an old French Catholic Church,
which the priest loaned to us. The
Church is nearly four hundred years
old. 1t is a beautiful place, lovely
paintings and statuary, but much in
need of repairs.
The French people are not like the
American people. They are not very
friendly, and certainly not particular.
I'VE have had to clean this whole
village, and every day have a SAM
tary Detail to keep it clean
Things TO eat are very high in
price and very scarce, and potatoes are
especially very scarce and we very sell
dom get them TO eat.
THE women here are doing all the
work, and they surely are working
hard. have never seen such old. look
ing people as there are here.
Henry (Bus) REIN is my bunk mate,
and he and 1 have been going around
together since we were put in the
ambulance company. 1t is good to be
with some one who knows every one
you do at home.
I'VE all wish to be remembered to
our Annapolis friends.
