Ny dearest Parents and All Home
We got our first mail July II and you
should have seen us run when our
names were called. We had a safe
trip. no accident of any kind. July
Fourth was quietly spent with a dem
onstration of flags, etc. The villagers
are very much amused at the way we
drink water They drink wine, but it is
sour and do not like it. l was think
ing Of you all at home on the Fourth.
Well, we must think of the next one,
when we will all be united again and
peace restored by victorious ending
on our part and the Allies.
We have moved several times since
1 wrote-July 10th we had moved
again. This is July 81. We will soon
be seeing the real thing: well, that is
what we came here for, and just leave
it to us. We heard negro quartette
singing today, I'VE will bring home
the bacon for Uncle Sam"
We had a great laugh when we were
put on the cars; they are very small
partments. The country is beautiful,
so green, and houses made of stone.
When we landed l couldn't keep my
balance for a day or so; l stood on one
foot to balance myself and wasn't sea-
cisk. was one of many on deck when
we landed and the people cheered us,
and they looked so funny to us.

I am feeling fine and enjoying it all.

REGISTRATION IN
D. C. SCHOOLS HIGH

Although hnundreds OF grade and
high school students are planning to
continue their war activities work,
and will not return to school, It Is
estimated BY school authorities today
that the registration OF students In
Washington schools will surpass all
previous records.
Superintendent OF Schools Thurston
Is unwilling TO estimate the number
Of students already enrolled, but de-
elares that records for high school
registration have probably been al
ready broken and that the grade
school attendance promises to be fully
As satisfactory.
II was expected that the rain this
morning would affect the registration
at the grade school buildings, but
long lines of students formed early
and registrars are being kept busy.
Enrollments for the primary grades
will continue tomorrow, between the
hours OF $50 to 10 q m and 4 to $50
.. m.
Glasses will start In grade and
high schools on Monday morning.
While q temporary shortage OF
teachers Il expected. school offieials
declared today that the lack win not
