Dear Mr.. Editor Please allow
me space in your valuable paper to
say few words about camp life. ]
was called into. service Sept. Is,
1917, and on reporting to camp, i
found everything quite different to
what | had been accustomed to.
Being little timid, / found it a
right hard life at first, for there
were so many boys and all strangers
to me, l necessarily got homesick,
but ! soon saw / had to get used to
all this and make the best Of it l
could. l got along fine and made
friends fast for a while, but one
month after | came into the service
was sent to the hospital where |
have been ever since. Camp life is
certainly fine as long as one can
keep his health. There is always
something to pass off the time, such
as theatres, moving pictures, boxing
bouts, wrestling matches, etc. This
affords the boys great pleasure.
They naturally want to make their
stay in camp pleasant one and this
helps them great deal.
There are lots of our Tennessee
boys here in camp. They are in
the very best of spirits. They go
about their work in a good-natured,
jolly way, no matter how hard it may
be, for they feel like it's the duty
of every true American to stand by
our government in this war until VIC
tory is won, and l am sure we are
going to win, for l feel like we are
right and | know that the Lord will
never let us lose. We are giving up
a lot for this cause-we have left
mothers, fathers, sweethearts, friends
and all that seemed dear to US, to
come here and train for this awful
conflict, that we may save our dear
country from the ravages of the Ger
mans, and | feel like God is going
to crown our efforts with success.
We are making great sacrifices that
we may make our country better
place to live in and | think each and
every one who is left behind should
put forth every effort to support US,
for this is no easy job we have be-
fore us, but we have never been
beaten by any nation, and feel like
we will keep up the reputation our
forefathers have handed down to US.
Every one seems to be doing his
bit to win this war, and where peo-
pie are SO firmly united they can't
be beaten.
l can't close without mentioning
the Red Cross and the wonderful
work they are doing. They are TAX
ing the place of our mothers and
sisters whom we left at home, by
waiting on the sick boys. This is
more IKE home than camp life. |
think no one would go wrong by con-
tributing to the Red Cross fund
! will close by wishing you much
success.
Yours truly,

Calomel salivates! It's mercury.
Calomel acts like dynamite on a
sluggish liver. When calomel comes
into contact with sour bile it crashes
into it,causing cramping and nausea.

WEAKENING IN POWER OF
RESISTANCE.

The German retirement, dis
patches from the British front
state, is getting out of hand and the
military skill heretofore displayed
in the backward movement is con-
spicuous by its absence. This is es-
pecially true along the line from
Ypres to Scissors, where the enemy
apparently is being forced to more
precipitate withdrawal than has
characterized the retreat in the past,
due to the irresistible hammering of
Marshal Haig's men. Another evil
dence of the weakening of the Ger
man resistance is shown in the cap
ture of such large numbers OF pris-
oners, more than 10000 having been
taken by the British during the
fighting Sunday and Monday, and
these facts indicate, officials think,
a growing disorganization in the
German ranks.
The British have driven a wide
gap in thS'ald -Geffman fortified line

Quentin and other important centers
upon which the Hindenburg line has
depended largely for security may be
expected at any moment. Haig's
Forces are driving on Cambria, and
while the enemy resistance is strong.
1T does not show the strength dis
: played "a month or two months ago.
1t is possible, some officers think
that the enemy may be forced to
withdrawal to the Rhine during the
present year.
The American first field army,

hghting manhood of this country
hlied with ardor for the battle. is
awaiting the opportune time to enter
the field and when thew strike mora
weakness of the enemy's military
machine viii be displayed. This
army, officials believe. will put an
1nstrument in General Foch's hand
which will enable him TO deliver a
real offensive coup, and the present
fighting, it is said is preparatory to
the delivery of such blow Where or
when, of course, is not known. but
probabilities include the region to
the east Of Rheims or of Verdun.
where the concentration OF the enc
most difficult because OF the bitter
fighting in Flanders and Picardy,
and during the present year.
The uninterrupted backward
movement of the enemy forces for
the past five or six weeks is evidence
OF the weakening OF his resistance
1t Will be remembered by the reader
that the Germans at one time were
within At miles of Paris, when they
were stopped by the United States
marines and the road to Paris ef-
fectiveiy\ blocked Now the Ger
mans are going. back nearer and
nearer to the Belgian border and at

point probably not over so miles and
