Letter from Son of S. L. Vincent.

The following letter has been received
by Rev. s. L. Vincent from his son who
is at Camp Lewis, American Lake,
Wash:
Dear Father
I was glad to receive your letter the
other day. Everything here goes on
about as usual-the same round of work
day after day. The company is putting
in fully as much time digging trenches
and other fatigue work as in drilling,
but since / have been going to the sig
nal school / have been excused from all
that sort of work. We are still in quar-
antine for mumps and will be for a
couple of weeks yet.
The weather has improved considera-
bly,. We get lots of rain and occasional
ly a little snow, but now we get three or
four days between storms SO it ism t
quite so bad. tsI
The company bought piano, banjo
and other musical instruments the 9TH
er day, SO l expect we will have plenty
of music evenings now. just got let
ter from Brother Fred this morning.
He seems to have been nearly as badly
mistaken about when he would leave as
I was. 1t does not look now as If we
would leave here for some time yet.
There have been so many transfers that
none of the companies are up to their
full strength and some of them have
hardly any men aside from the non
commissioned officers. There are not
men enough in the depot brigade to take
the places of those who have gone, sc
the companies will have to be filled out
of the new draft and then it will take
considerable time to train the new men
So it looks as if we would have to stay
here long time yet.

Supplying a man with a quantity
of high power explosive, in order to
learn his object in wanting it, was
one of the ruses adopted by the
United States Secret Service in cir
cumventing plots of the Imperial
German Government in America.
His ruse resulted in the arrest Of
Robert Fay and the discovery of a
plot to wreck ships leaving New York
harbor with munitions or supplies
intended for the Allies, by use Of a
special automatic bomb.
The plot Of Fay and how it was
frustrated in an exciting and interest
ing story. It is the basis of "The
Kaiser's Death Messenger" the
eighth episode of "The Eagles Eye"
the story of the Imperial German
Governments spies and plots in
America by William J. Flynn, the
recently retired Chief of the United
States Secret Service. "The Kaiser's
Death Message" will be shown at the
Opera House on Wednesday.
