Camp Kearny. Cal. March 6. 1918.
Dear Friend Clyde:
A. l have . few minutes to spare. l
will try and write you few lines this
morning. This is my day at the Office.
and have to open up and lock up today.
Perhaps you will wonder which Office
am working in? I stayed with "a"
Company only about three weeks. and
then they transferred me to Headquar-
tiers Company of the ll5th Engineers.
My work consists mostly of typewriting
and checking of Service Records. Very
interesting. and not at all difficult.
Everything is getting along nicely,
and California looks mighty good to me
have not seen any snow this winter.
only some in the hills about eight miles
out of camp. 1t does not last long in
this climate. and we don't even have a
frost. 1t gets pretty hot during the
day. and our Office is about the only
cool place in camp. tits not very classy
(wooden floors thing of the past. just
the plain ground is used) but it reminds
q person of what real Office should be.
There are ten clerks working with me,
besides lots of messenger" lads.
This il about the best camp in the u.
S. from all reports. and know person
ally that would not care to go to
better one. l consider myself very
lucky in being sent down here this win
ter in the place Of staying at Funston.
Besides seeing lots of wonderful sights
along the line coming here. have had
the opportunity Of seeing what l always
wanted to see. the ocean. No doubt.
before long. I will be seeing plenty of
it, but fellow is never satisfied until
he has had the actual experience.
suppose you are wondering when we
are going to France? Well it's mighty
hard to tell, and of course would not
dare to tell you even if did know.
The War Department is becoming very
strict about letting out information of
this kind It's for our own benefit of
course, but a fellow would like to tell
his folks and friends, just when and
where he 10 going.
The boys are getting in fine shape.
and you would not know some of the
lads that were brought here four or
five months ago. Every single one of
them look like real soldiers, and SO
much healthier. Lots of the boys were
turned down for heart trouble, fiat feet
and other numerous defects, and now
only the stronger class remain. wish
you could see this division in the review
we are going to have March 9Th.
Every branch of the service will take
part. We are going to have big day,
as all the public from outside towns are
invited. We have heard that this will
be our last review and therefore every
one is going to do his best. The militia
ry bands are getting just great, and we
have twelve of them. thought knew
what a good band was like until l arriv-
ed here. This music would make lame
man want to march.
Our new guns are here now, and they
look like they will be able to do the work.
The only part of them that doesn't look
very inviting is the bayonet; but of
course with continued practice with
them, fellow soon forgets that one of
them might be punched thru his system.

OUR INDIVIDUAL PART.

Some observers think that the most Characteristic
thing about the American soldiers in France. something
the enemy and exces the admiration OF
our allies is capacity of the American soldiers to do
individual thinking fighting. The German fights sue
cessfully only formation in organized bodies
while every American soldier has an initiative and in
dependence action which gives him remarkable ef-
fciency open fighting. They not senseless cogs,
but each individual working unit in great fighting
machine.
Every American home should feel individual
responsibility and do his her individual part in win
ming the war There is not American citizen who
can not help win the war. The Fourth Liberty Loan
drive which begins September 2S, offers oppor
tunity for concerted action and for individual action and
the loan will be tremendous success if each American
will do his or her individual part each American
soldier in France does his part. Our soldiers deserve
such support from the people at home.

in greater need of it than ever-we mean
the millions in Russia, Poland, Germany,
Austria, and Turkey. Who knows what
the fate of these millions will be after
the war? Why not secure for them
haven of refuge, land of safety, home
of their own in the land of our fathers,
under the protectorate of England and
the allies? This is Zionism. Will you
not support it?
You can support it by registering as
a Zionist, that is, as a member of the
American Zionist Association, and paying
your annual dues of $500, either at once
or in two instruments. Men and women
above the age of 10 are eligible to such
membership. Register now.
