All around me are sailors-Amer-

Personally, like this town

ways taking us to dinners and
other things, and there are al
ways invitations at the sailors
club for auto rides around the
city. 1t seems that nothing is
good enough for us, in fact we
are treated like heroes. But af-
ter all, the West is the only place
and my thots are always wan
dering around there.
After five months preliminary
training at the Naval Training
Station at Seattle, they consider
ed us ripe for further transfer to
man our fleet and the latter part
of January, some 400 of us
boarded the u. S. S. Great North
ern and started on our journey
via the Panama canal. 1t was a
trip that ! will never forget as
long as ! live.
After seven days we landed in
New York where most of us were
shipped to Philadelphia where we
were scattered TO all of the ships
of the fleet that were stationed
there, some going to France.

athing in Brazil

Ed Mattson of Puyallup, who
is somewhere on the high seas on
the U. S. s. South Dakota, has
had some interesting experiences.
When writing to his friends he
describes one time when he at
tempted to go fishing in jungle
pool in Bahia, Brazil, where he
was stationed for some time.
He says that he made the ac-
quaintance of too many snakes
and beat hasty retreat to a
native village where he created
a good deal of excitement, but
where he received kind treat
ment in the form of a native bev-
erage, somewhat resembling Am
erican beer.

Here is one of the youngest
soldiers Tacoma has produced,
Tom Martin, who is in Essex Eng
land, with the Bird battalion of
| Irish guards, at Marley barracks.
Martin, who is the nephew of
William Martin, 1906 Tyler street,
was born in Tacoma Is years ago,
and was left an orphan in his
early youth, when he lived with
his grandfather and his uncle
William Martin. Tom enlisted in
Canada with the Boys Brigade of
the Irish Drumming Brigade when
he was only 10 years old, and
served some time in France. He
has recently reached the ripe old
age of IS years and has been
taken into a mans regiment, hav-
ing graduated from the boy class.
He has cousin, who is also
named Tom Martin, son of Will
liam Martin of Tyler street, who
is also with the Canadians. He
left for France few weeks ago
and his parents have had no re-
cent word from him.
In a letter to Mr.. Martin, his
nephew says, Il wish that the
war was soon over, myself, SO
that ] could get away from it all.
1t is very fine to say Finish the
War when the other countries
will let you down. If it had not
been for England and France the
Germans would have been over in
America by now, as they are the
only two countries of which the
Hun is afraid. We have not
started fighting properly yet, but
when we do it will be a sorry day
for the Germans.
II expect to be in France again
soon, and perhaps by the time that
you receive this. And all that |
hope is that l will get few Ger
mans before they get me. | have
always one thot in my mind and
that is that ! am now going to
France with one of the best regi-
ments in the British army, regi-
. ment that has never lost a line
of trenches in the present war"
