 Somewhere in France,
 Dec. 10, 1917.
 Hello Edgar: Haven't had much time to devote to correspondence and besides it's been quite a hard task to- get in touch with everyone so I'll let that account for my delay in writing you. You'll understand all those things so no need of going into details, how ever, I want to keep my word that I'd write you when I got chance I don't expect you are in the service yet and I guess you are safe enough for the present. No doubt more than one of your brothers are in some branch of the service so you ought to be well in- formed on some of the doings of our great army. Most of the fellows who were in my detachment are over here somewhere, but we have been changed around 80 that it's hard to keep tracE of each other.

The rest or the fellows are either left behind or discharged and by the way have you seen anything of my man Reynolds, around Moosup? I've heard on good authority that he was down there and perhaps I'm not surprised. lf you see anything of him tell him l was inquiring about his welfare and the same applies to Charles Lapack.
 Frechette is going good. He is cor poral now in Company l.. and l. see him occasionally. That covers the bunch who were ill Moosup; not much news about them. but to. tell the truth I'm not very well versed on what they are doing.

 Some of the French cars would just suit you although the roads would probably not be wide enough for you.

Big U. S. NAVY BASE
Vast Establishment Maintained
on French Coast.
10 Composite Of Navy Department
and Of an American
Navy Yard.

American Naval Base, France
Here on this rugged Breton coast there
is an American naval establishment
which is a sort of composite Of the
busy activity of the navy department
at Washington and one Of the big
navy yards on the American seaboard.
Vice Admiral Wilson, commanding
the American naval forces in French
waters, has his headquarters here,
with an executive staff quartered in
one Of the largest buildings of the city,
fronting the Place President Wilson.
American bluejackets are on guard at
all the entrances, and steady files of
American naval officers and sailors
crowd the corridors on their various
duties.
Besides the rush of the port itself,
this is the naval administration CEN
ter for 300 miles of the French coast,
divided into three districts, with
number of the chief ports into which
the masses of American men and ma
terial are pouring.
Aside from the American transport
fleet which comes and goes, there is
standing personnel of officers and men
in these districts, with some eighty
ships-destroyers, repair ships, con-
verted yachts, mine-sweepers and
naval tugs. The shore establishment
is on the same extensive scale, with
aerodromes for balloons and airplanes,
great stacks of coal and mammoth
tanks for fuel oil.
Naval headquarters is In constant
wireless touch with the whole range
of this naval activity, along the 300
miles of front and far out to sea,
where the conveys are steadily NOV
ing in and out.
It is a huge work this big establish
ment is carrying on. On the strictly
naval side are the defensive and Of
fensive observation-disclosures of Ameri-
can and other allied shipping across
the Atlantic, and offensive in the war
of determination being made against
enemy submarines.
Outside of the naval operations there
is the steady march of vast naval
at all the ports along this
300 miles of sea front, repair plants,
fuel stations, oil tanks, water works
and all the requirements of a great |
naval establishment which is constant
ly expanding.
