have, I believe, received word ere this of our safe arrival overseas and now that we are here, many of us already long for the conditions that prevailed at home and in the good old U. s. A.
 At present we are taking bit ol a rest in one of the numerous Amer ican camps, and it certainly is a pleasure to find many of the boys here whom we know and those who speak the English tongue. Our greatest difficulty since arriving on French soil is to make ourselves un derstood and all of us regret being unable to converse in French so il is up to us to study the language sufficiently to make our wants knowr at least The French people are a pleasant lot and they have the kind Hest feelings for all Americans.
 Just where we go from here is indefinite. but we expect to be on our way within a week or two oi as soon as we will have received all our equipment, much of which has not yet been given us. General Pershing has given us the "once over" and If we are considered fit may be in action before very long
 "The greatest fault the American lads find here, particularly those from Alaska and the Northwest, is the lack of good water. The fellows can get plenty of good wine to drink but it doesn't seem to hit the spot
 This doesn't seem to be such a large world after all. I met mum Der of the, oil tillicums since my ing one of the boys from the Island
 A few days ago I had the pleasure of visiting some of the immense storehouses the United States Gov ernment is installing on this side of the Atlantic, and to see the vast stores of clothing, foodstuffs, equip ment, etc, being stored there, makes one realize that Uncle Sam is making the proper preparation for his sol diers. and, incidentally, condition which 'Heinie' is beginning to view with great alarm.
 During our travels. we have seen many old people and very small children at work in the harvest fields and their methods appear very crude compared to the modern way of handling crops in America, yet our nation can learn much in real con servation when it comes to economic al farming, from these small farm. CTS. Poor French women call daily at our camps for laundry and at times it is pitiful to see some very old woman loaded down with huge bundle of laundry.
 We've met a. number of the Amer ican lads over here who have been in the service more than year and the work seems to agree with them,

though they, as we'll as those of us who come over later, are figuring on getting back home again soon. The Allies certainly have the upper hand now and we are going to continue to hold our own to such a point that Heinie' will be glad to cry enough.
 The British and Portuguese troops seem quite glad to take rest at the convalescent camps, but the French troops are restless and al ways stickers, wanting to get into the mixup day and night, without any letup. We have had the pleasure of bath ing in the surf several times and the old salt water certainly seemed good to me. Sea bathing is a popu- lar amusement with the French peo- pie.
 We are very well clad-at least too warm it seems to me. Sunny France is good name for this country for the days are very warrn. Perhaps the winters may offset some of this heat, at least I hope so, and make it feel a bit more like the good old North.
 "The Y. M c. A. management and it's buildings in the various camps, are really the best accommodations the soldiers have in ths country. Through them we get our sweets, such as candy, cookies, jells, gum, tobacco, and hot coffee, chocolate, lemonade and even sandwiches are to be had at times.
