ingtnn. In very short order we were
taken tc Camp Meigs. This camp is
a concentration camp for Quartermas-
ter men and from that point men are
sent to all parts of the United States
for Domestic service and to France
for Foreign Service. The camp is In
the city of Washington proper and is
only a ten minute walk from the Can
ftol Buildings. There is three min
ute street car service at the gate Of
the camp. The camp is like all 9TH
ers with wooden barracks and mess
. halls. paved streets and mud knee
deep in any part of the camp. Our
mess there was fair, but very inter
esting from one view point. If you
can imagine two hundred men with
mess kits running for the mess hall
and then fighting and cussing until
they get il; after getting it undecid-
ed as to whether they care to eat it
or not, you understand that it is in

Washington is an interesting city
and there are many interesting places
to go to. regret that l did not
have1the time to visit all of them,
but did get to few of the most in.
teresting places. The White House
is a very pretty place. You know
the bricks in the White House are
the, original ones brought from Eng
land and each year are painted white.
AS the story goes in Washinton, wheh
the British captured Washington a
small force of 200 men assembled in
the House of Representatives. which
is now the White House. The officer
in command took the speakers chair
and the men the representatives
seats The officer said 1--WE have
under our control the government
building of this country. and ask
you men as to what disposition shall
be made of the same.'' A private
moved the house as follows ~ move
you Sir, we burn the damned place
down. The motion carried and a
lighted torch was left in the building
and before the fire was extinguished
the building had been Quilted. Had it

smoke with the rest of the place. To-
day the White House has Italian Gar
dens at either end of the same and
beautifully kept grounds and heavi-
ly guarded fence during the times of
war We visited the Capitol Building
and a session of the Senate and the
Supreme Court. When at the session
of the Supreme Court thought IL
any mortal could know but half as
much as the Chief Justice White
looked to know, he would have won
derful intellect and I think the Chief
Justice has that too. The most in
teresting government building is the
Congressional Library. This is the
largest library and the most beautiful
library in the world. There is work

". G. Bickelhaupt, fuel adminis-
traitor for this state. has announced
that the embargo which had been
placed on I'll shipments of coal from
the east into this state, will not be
enforced at this time. The winter is
now nearly passed and we are more
interested in whether the order is to
be enforced on shipments for next
winter. That Mr.. Garfield, the ma
tional fuel administrator. has stopped
over in ever making such an order is
very apparent, Worrell Glarkson.
Of the Northwestern Coal Dock Oper-
ator's association, says that the prob
lem Of supplying the northwest with
eastern coal is not q coal problem but
2 transportation problem. Il is not
a.shortage Of coal. but shortage Of
transportation facilities. The order
Of Mr. Garfield will embarrass rather
than relieve the transportation. He
calls attention to the fact that if coal

where we were going. The follow
ing morning we awakened in western
Kansas and for day saw all kinds
of desert sand lands. That night we
pulled into Kansas City where our
train was supplied with water, ice
and provisions. From Kansas City
we went to st. Louis and the follow
ing a,orning were in southern Illinois
and passed into southern Indiana. In
these two states one could note high
degree of efficiency in the use of the
land. We left Indiana and PASSED
into Kentucky and to. our surprise,
even though we were in the Blue
: Grass State, we saw no blue grass at
all. In lieu of blue grass the ma
tives gave us any amount of tobacco
in its natural state. 1t was not long
before we were passing the site of
the Battle of Lexington and soon we
were in the city of Lexington itself.
That night we left Kentucky and were
in West Virginia in the city of Hun
tington. At this town the people
were very nice to us and it seemed
that there were several southern girls
down to the train, however. as rule,
the boys were more interested in
something to eat than in girls. AS
one passes through West Virginia and
Virginia he rather thinks that the
Reconstruction Period was more of
fiction than fact. If some Of our
good farmers were to see the print
tive methods employed by the farm
ers of the south, they would turn a
deaf ear to an offer to purchase land
in the Sunny South.
The most beautiful state we passed
through was Virginia. l remember
awakening early the first morning we
were in Virginia and seeing the beau
tiful Blue Ridge Mountains, and they
are rightly called the Blue Ridge
Mountains. Outlining these small
mountains there is blue haze as far
as one can see and in contrast to that
delicate frame you see the heavily
wooded side hills of the mountains.
In the valleys of these mountains you
see the old deserted stills and now
and then rude mountain hut. From
this surrounding we passed through
the small town in which Jeff erson was
born and were soon in part of Ma
ry land and that afternoon were in the
District of Columbia.
Saturday afternoon we came to the
Potomac River and except in our train
all was quiet on the Potomac. The
first thing we saw was Washington 8
Monument and in the late afternoon
it stood out there much larger than it
really was and much more impressive
than it was at later time. Our at
tention was taken from the monument
by the dome of the Capitol Building
and we were soon in old Washington
with its lamp lighted streets and fun
ny brick road beds, and then we
reached the newer part of the city
which is modern city of about 400,
600 people scattered in every direc-
tion from the Capitol for miles. We
then entered the tunnel to the Union
Station and after mile in that tun-
mel, found ourselves in the most beau
tiful union station in the world, al
