LIKES MOTHERS CAKE
VERNON GARRY WRITES ENTER.
TAININGLY FROM \ WASH
INGTON MILITARY CAMP.

Camp Lewis, Wash, Jan. 26.-
Dear Mother: Your letter arrived
today and the cake arrived yesterday.
The cake was just fine, was in very
good condition and tasted great.
l have not had an opportunity to
write for nearly two weeks, as we
have been building a telegraph line to
the base of Mount Rainier, 46 miles
away. We were out in the open for
ten days. Cooked our own rations
and slept on the ground, with pup
tents" over us. 1t was great expert
enc for us, but taxed us to our ca
pacity. A few slight cases of rheu-
matism and colds resulted, but that
was all. | feel fine myself, but it
rained so much that we didn't enjoy
it been dry.
They have me up for transfer to
the Alaska cable system, and | ex-
pect to hear something definite soon.
If | am transferred, l will be located
in Seattle for a while at least. and
possibly permanently. | will still be
in the signal corps, but l might have
to go to Alaska, and the chances of
going to Europe are poor. | will let
you know as soon as | hear.
Everything is going along nicely
here. A week ago Sunday Lyle Ste
vens and | had dinner with Hugh
Clark in Tacoma. He surely enter
tanned us royalty. He has a very nice
wife, who incidentally is a remarka
be culinary artist, and a beautiful
baby girl. He sent his very pest re-
CARDS to the family. Expect to visit
him again if i have al opportunity.
Our work here is very interesting,
also very exacting. We have little
time to ourselves. We are on the go
from 5:45 a. IN. till 9 p. m, when in
the barracks, and even longer when
out camping. We have Wednesday
and Saturday afternoons off, but that
time is invariably devoted to bath
ing, shaving and washing clothes. We
have our own shower baths, with hot
water anu, III ldCl, lHluSS dIOuIu tue
barracks are not bad at all.
The most attractive feature of this
camp is the remarkably warm wealth
er. At no time this winter has the
temperature been lower than 33
above. At Hugh Clark's house they
had flowers on the table from his own
garden, and after dinner we took a
little exercise by moving the lawn. 1t
rains a good deal though, so much
that it is a liability rather than an
asset to the otherwise attractive eli
mate. Vernon.

LEAPS FROM CAB
BURLINGTON RAILWAY ENGiN-
FER HAS NARROW ES-
CAPE.

Deadwood, Jan. 31.-Engineer Nc
Guire, employed on the Black Hills
line Of the Burlington railway, had
a narrow escape from death as the
result of a peculiar accident. While
on a steep grade near Englewood the
brakes failed to hold as the engine
was taking oil at a fuel supply tank.
The moving of the engine when the
brakes failed caused the breaking of
the connection between the oil tank
and the tender. The escaping oil was
set on fire when it came into contact
with the flame under the locomotive
boiler and in IN instant the engine
was enveloped in flames. Mcclure
saved his life by diving through the
encircling sheet of flame into a snow
bank beside the track. His clothing
was burning when he struck the
snow, but he was able to e~xtinguish
the flames before being fatally
burned.

LONDON PAPERS

full Augury.
lRv Associated PressN

LONDON, by way Of Ottawa, May
las details of Mondays fighting
are received confirming the fact that
it was the worst day the Germans
have experienced since the opening OF
the offensive, the newspapers, hither'
to reticent in view Of fluctuation OF
the battle, now comment on the oper'
atoms in a tone of confidence they
have not hitherto displayed.
The Times says: "Of all the violent
combats witnessed in the last few
weeks, we know Of none which is a
more hopeful augury for the allies
than this ten mile German failure"
1t is pointed out that the public is
apt to reckon victories in terms of ex
Itensive success, but a defensive vic
tory like that on Monday may contrib
ute equally toward the ultimate object
OF H. eREs1stAl, namely destruction
of the enen1y's fighting strength"

BRITISH ARMY IN FLANDERS,
May 1.-(By Associated Press)-Gen,

along the Flanders battle front last
night nor had an attack been expected.
The heavy defeat which the Ger.
mans suffered Monday forced them to
pause and bring up fresh troops before
continuing their drive for the hill 20.
sition in the KENNEL region.
The seriousness of the German in.
tentions here has been eyinced in
numerous ways. On Monday for ex.
ample they pushed at least one field
gun forward to within 700 yards OF
the battle line and other guns were
brought close up.
Emperor William appears to have
been an interested and active visitor
in the Flanders region yesterday. Ac.
cording to prisoners he has been max.
