| have a lot of friends and school
mates that don't hear from me but
| still think of my old Kentucky
home. | haven't been home for two
years and | have had quite a few ex-
periences through my few little
travels
But | must say | had a piece of
luck when | enlisted in my outfit, as
it is a good one and | never met
boys | liked better; | know when |
get over there with the bunch, that
| will be with a sticking bunch as
we are taught to stick together. The
boys are all from Chicago. ILL.,, except
some drafted men who were trans
ferred to our OUTFIT from Camp Grant

ment is the model regiment of S3rd

they are all shooting 62o shots to the
minute it sounds as if there was an
attack on at the front line trenches.
We have been in Texas seven months
and have had nice mild winter.
We played ball Thanksgiving Day.
We have drilled hard and worked
hard but we have good food and that
is all soldier can ask OF Uncle Sam.
Just so we have good eats, we should
not worry, as we know it is up to us
to get trained as it takes it to win the
war, and the I3Ist has the goods and
we can show them a trick or two
when we get over there.

FOREST OF FONTAINEBLEAU
MAY Be WAR SACRIFICE

PARIS, April 1O.-Will the forest OF
Fontainebleau have to be sacrificed
to military purposes? That question
is agitating French historical, artistic
and literary circles. There is little
of these questionings in the practical
mind and it is believed probable that
before long the ancient forest will re-
semble a lumber camp on the Ottawa
or the St. Maurice rivers.
The drain of lumber during the
present war has been very great With
the difficulty in transportation grow
ing more and more acute the supply
of timber has had to be obtained from
local tracts instead of from the virgin
forests of Northern Canada.
There is a pang of regret in artistic
circles but it is remembered that Eng
land has sacrificed without murmur
the beautiful trees in the Royal Park
of Windsor and it is believed that UNI
less lumber can be obtained elsewhere
under as favorable conditions, Fon
tainebleau is doomed.
The Cordova daily times., 1918-04-10

mnt and plot of ground has been
reserved for this purpose.
There are three trenches. the larg-
est of which contains seventy bodies,
the second fifty and the third twenty
seren. The plot for the memorial is
between the second and third
trenches. A few small gravestones,
sent by relatives OF the victims, now
form the only memorials to be found
about the spot.
The graves are seldom visited by
the villagers. They say they shun
them because they recall the terrible
scenes enacted nearly three years ago.
One of the latest visitors was the
American CONSUL here, Charles M.
Hathaway, Jr., who escorted a group
of American naval officers now on
duty in adjacent waters.
The town hall in Queenstown, which
was used as a morgue for the victims,
was for two years afterward deserted
by the villagers who had, for genera
lions before, used it as marketplace.
1t was said to be haunted" and no
good luck was expected from any
transaction completed there. During
the last few weeks the villagers have
begun to use it again, but only after
a squad of painters and decorators
had transformed it's gloomy interior
into such a cheerful place that the
merchants, despite their superstitions
were coaxed back.
