SOMEWHERE IN FRANCE"

Dear Mother and Clyde =

Dear Mother and Clyde
We are now in another camp,
which is to be our home for
some time, ! understand, and
it sure pleases us all, as it mean,
that We are at last going to SEQ
some work in our line.
In coming here we passed
through some of the prettiest
country in the world. | thought
the country around our rest
camp was pretty, but it couldn't
hold candle to some we came
through. Cannot write you
where We are nor give full des-
criptions as the censor would
cut it out, nor can | tell what
kind of work we are going to do,
but above all do not worry as
am just as well off as am at
nome.
Received some mail today, the
first since we laft camp Upton,
and it was worth a million dol
lars to me as was certainly get
ting homesiCk for a letter.
Do not believs you can send
any packages over so would ad-
wise you not to try.
We are in a fine camp about
the best ona l have been in so
far. Was in one of the large
towns on the 4th and put in a
part Of the day taking in tho
sights, was thru an old castle
and a church or so and in that
way put in a very nice day.
The only trouble we have
when We get out is none of us
speak French and have to make
signs, but we are picking up O.
few words and will some be able
to get along o. X. The weather
is fire, no rain and no hot days.
Was in an old church the
other day built in 1870 and the
altars wire certainly beautiful;
and the stained glass windows
were beyond description. They
were of som scenes in the
Bible and We're of all colors.
Am well and feeling fine, and
with love and kindest regards to
all. Your son, Alex.

Brother Porter seems to be
somewhat peeved over our little
road-work discussion. He ought
to remember that he "butted
in," and by doing so invited
criticism. When a man gets
what is coming to him under
such circumstances he ought
to take it like a good sport.

THE FOURTH LIBERTY LOAN

The campaign for the Fourth
Liberty Loan will begin Septam-
ber 2S and close October 19.
The result Of the loan will be
watched with ken interest in
Europe, not only by our associa-
tes in the war against the Teu-
tonic powers but by our enemies.
1t will be regarded by them as
a measure of the American peo-
pies support Of the war.
The Germans know full well
the tremendous weight and sig
nificance of popular support of
the war, of the people at home
backing up the Army in the field.
AS the loan succeeds our en-.
emies will sorrow; as it falls
short they will rejoice. Every
dollar subscribed will help and
encourage the American SOL
dlers and hurt and deyress the
enemies Of America.
The loan will be a test OF the
loyalty and willingness Of the
people Of the United States to
make sacrifices compared with
the willingness of our soldiers
to do their part. There must
be and will be no failure by the
people to measure up to the
courage and devotion of our
men in Europe. Many of them
have given up their lives; shall
we at home withhold our mon
ey? Shall We spare our dollars
while they spare not their very
lives?

WHY NOT READING ROOM
FOR THE SOLDIERS?

On a rainy day like yesterday
there is not much amusement
for Uncle Sans boys who are
stationed here, and We believe
it would be a splendid scheme,
to open up a public reading room
where they could go to read,
write letters, etc. 1t might be
hard to secure a suitable build
ing for this purpose, but still, 1t
might be possible that some of
the ladies' Of the different
churches would arrange to. have
the churches opened every day.
We are sure that plenty of suit
able reading matter, such as
magazines, books, and daily pa
pers, would be donated by our
citizent.

register.

in charge of local draft boards.

ing to 9 o'clock at night.
