fingers drip with blood and gore. We
pray Thee that the stars in their
courses and the winds and the waves

FROM CAMp- LEWIS. WASH.

Camp Lewis, Wash, Feb. 22.-Well
as this is holiday for us, | will
write line for The News. We have
just had a bic feed and all enjoyed it
very mech We are fed good at all
times. but on holidays we sure have
some feast.
We have been having some winter
here 1t gets cold at night, the
ground freezes and we have had two
little SHOWS; some of the last one is
still on the ground.
There has beer quite a lot of
measles and mumps here, two Of K
&C. have been under quarantine
twice for humps, bat think the
camp is about clear Of them now.
Our captain took US up to the field
artillery yesterday ard they explain
ed all about the big guns TO us. There
is some difference between a Spring
field rifle and one of those guns.
The 9ist division Cor Wild West, as
it is known passed in review before
the inspection officer last week.
About twenty-five thousand soldiers
passed in review. There were nine
bands in the parade and as we passed
in review our band was playing Col
umbia." We had heavy packs on and
hundred rounds of ammunition IN
our belts. but il was easy to keep step
With the music | think if the Kaiser
could have seen rs as we marched by
il would have made froWn come on
his face, for there was line bunch
of men. We passed in review before
General Green about three months
ago. There were about forty-five
thousand soldiers here then but they
have been sent out. This was a much
nicer parade, for every soldier had a
uniform and gun and at the other
one lots of them hadn't received their
uniforms. They are all pretty well
drilled here now.
We have been drilling with gas
masks and have French officers as
teachers who are right from the
front line trenches They talk real
funny. We can't help but laugh at
them sometimes.
Our contender. Gen. Green, who
has been in France for some time, is
back in the United States again. We
expect him with us at camp in short
time. Then suppose he will tell US
more about that country and OF the
war over there.
/ made visit to the navy yards at
Brameston, near Seattle, anti there
are lots of things that | would like
to tell about but can't now When
the war is over / may be able to tell

to be careful what we write, but /
hope The News can print what /
