HARRY BRADLEY
IN AERO CORPS
FORMER GOLDFIELD MAN DES-
CRIBES TRAINING WORK
IN ENGLAND

An interesting letter has been
received by Mrs. Charles S. Sprague
from Harry r. Bradley, formerly
we'll known here and who is now
a sergeant in the 161st Aero Squad
ron, stationed for the present in
England, where the American fly
ers are undergoing a course of in
tensive training preliminary to TAX
ing up their duties at the fighting
front.
Bradley lived in Goldfield for a
considerable time and was employ
ed here as mine superintendent and
in other capacities with local min
ing companies. He had also been
identified, in similar position, with
some of the leading mines at Tono-
nah. He was known here as a
student and a young man of un-
usual attainments, possessed of a
broad education. His letter says:
81 have been in the army for
about seven months now and more
than two months in England. Had
"a long though u%neventful voyage
across. We are training with the
Royal Flying Corps of Great Bri-
tain. l have had some very fine
flights with them. Was o n leave
in London last month; it is a city
CT great interest for me.
"The war is the only topic OF
conversation in England, and no
wonder. The magnitude of 1T all
has not yet reached the States. The
atmosphere is heavy with war n
the entire endeavor and thought
Of the country is to carry on the
great struggle.
There is a famous old forest
near here that was last hewn down
TO build the fleet that defeated the
Spanish Armada. Canadian lum-
bermen are cutting it again now
to defeat the submarines. am
greatly impressed with the spirit
of the English women in this crisis.
They work at everything; in coal
Yards, mines, factories of all des-
criptions and at everything that
is usually considered mans work,
and we without complaint. Then.
too, they do almost all the army
tanteen work and there are thou
sands of them in uniform, regularly
enlisted, taking the place of sold
iers wherever they an. what
strikes me most, though, is that al
though there is hardly a home In
England that has not lost n or
more relatives in this war, one
never hears of it, but is met with
smiles and made welcome as
though all were we'll.
Near where | am training there
is an ancient temple, 5000 years
old, very we'll defined and presery-
ed for it's great &C.. Surrounding

AMERICAN TROOPS ARE
 REBUILDING FRANCE

The rehabilitation of France by Americans is told in letter from Lee Byrd of Pine Bluff, electrician, U. s. S. Pocahontas, transport, to his grand mother, Mrs. E. D. Cook of Benton. Mr. Byrd is the son of w. w. Byrd of Pine Bluff. The letter follows:
 "My dear Grandmother:-Am writ ing you short note to let you know that even though l am in the midst of wonderful things, am still think ing of the dear ones at home.
 "I have just returned from war ridden France for the third time, and expect to go back over there most any time now.
 Grandma, we Americans at home can not realize the immensity of this great war, and how it is putting. De- mocracy and civilization back hundreds of years. They also don't realize what this great country is doing-for we are doing. Last fall went to a little city in France that was rack and ruin. dirty, fallen down and ridden with disease. The Americans have estab- lished a base there now, and when left it two weeks ago it was as clean as "Child's Restaurant" and as busy as New York itself. One can't realize what this government can do until they see it with their own eyes.
 The sad part, grandma, last fall we carried troops, fine sons of American mothers, and Red Cross nurses, noble daughters of Liberty, on this trip re- turning we brought some of them back maimed wrecks torn with shrap- mel and gagged with gas. It hurts to look upon such things. May God speed up the Liberty Bond sales and let us hurry and exterminate the Hun from this bright world of ours-make the seas and shores, highways and byways of commerce and civilization such as He intended them in the beginning. It is bad enough over there-it must not come over here-and we American boys are not going to let it if the peo- pie will just realize and let us have men, ships and money, and all to do it with.
