SOlDIERLET7ERS
on Active Service With
American Expd. Forces.

American Expd. Forces.
Dear Folks;
received your letters n few days
ago and was real glad to hear from
you. Everything here is first rate,
only IN be glad when We are
through training and into active SER
vice. A fellow sure gets "fed up" as
the English call II, with training.
see by the papers that everything
is going fine at the front. The
"yanks" had captured 1000 prison
ers.
I've received several Courlers the
last month or two and hope they
keep on coming. Since another squad
ron came here composed OF all Ore
gon boys I've had the oregonian, the
Journal and the Baker Democrat. so
you see I'm pretty well off for news.
What did you do the Fourth All
England celebrated over here. OF
course we missed the fire works and
all that sort OF stun. Anyway Il was
safe and sane Fourth. We had a
parade through town escorted by two
English bands, and the main event OF
the day was a ball game between our
squadron and one stationed not far
from here. We won OF course. the
score being IS to I. The mayor here
sure is some sport. as he arranged
the ball game and everything. We
also had lunch at the ball park and a
concert In the evening after which
the mayor gave us quite a speech.
He wondered what George Washing
ton and George Ill would say II they
awoke from the dead and saw all
England celebrating our Indepen-
dence day. The people were good
sports though. and large crowd
turned out for the parade and ball
game. They don't understand ball
very well and guess they thought
We were insane the way everybody
yelled. After the game was over both
squadrons did the serpentlne to the
music OF the bands.
We have Y. NJ. c. A. here and
have some sort Of entertainment al
most every evening. boxing. and con-
certs. In town there are three pic
ture shows and dance hall. We
go to almost every dance. Their
dances are altogether different from
ours excepting the waltzes. Since We
came here though. the girls that go
can dance rags as good as any OF
them at home. | was the first Yam
kee to dance here. I guess 1t looked
funny as all the girls here are awful
ly short.
Well it's time to go to work. Love
to all, TED and EARL.

Rather Risky Proceed

The governments efforts to cure the
mule Of the braylng habit reminds the
Liberty Tribune that the same prob
lem was up during the Civil war.
Then, says the Tribune, Colonel Gar
land Of the Confederate army, after
ward attorney general Of the United
States, asserted that the mule could
be made brayless by tying n brick to
its tail, as It was impossible for a mule
to bray unless 1t raised its tall and re-
leased the clutch on It's vocal cord.
But wouldn't 1t be far less dangerous
to operate on a mule than so to attach
a brick?-Kansas City Times.
