Letter from Lumber Unit Member

This letter was written to Mrs. Ar

cousin, John l.. Castle, who with his |
brother, Carl, has been in Ardgay, |
Scotland, year working in lumber
unit No 10.
Dear Cousin:
Your last letter received some time |
ago, also the two bundles of papers, |
all of which were greatly appreciated
by us, and no doubt you think it about |
time you heard from us. This outfit is
pretty well broken up now, as the boys
who are returning home left yesterday.
We were all down to the station to see
them off as it is not probable we shall
see many of them again. | do not know
| exactly how many left as they were
strung all along from here, to Liverpool.
| Not long ago bunch of recruiting
officers were here from London to en-
list the boys in the forestry branch of
| the army and quite number enlisted,
Including Carl and |, so very likely we
shall not see the states until Kaiser
| Bill has seen enough of war. There are
about six of us from this unit and
there is no telling what we shall be in
before this war is over. We leave for
London Saturday and go from there
to some training camp, and believe me
| it will take some training to bring
this bunch into line. Although there
is nothing sure about it / expect we
will return in few weeks to finish
these lots. Where we will go then is a
question, but we want to see France.
never fully realized before the ire
mendous amount of timber required to
carry on modern warfare.
There will be one satisfaction, under
military rule everyone will have to do
his part, which has not been entirely
the case in the last year. 1t is getting
very dry in this country and yesterday
afternoon we fought fire until nearly
midnight The fire started about three
weeks ago from No. s mill above us
: and has been burning in the ground
ever since We had to break the dry
windows of brush below it to keep it
off the camps, as there was a strong
wind blowing.
Expect Arthur and Walter have
their planting nearly finished now
Would like nothing better than to
drop in on you the way l used to. Will
feel better satisfied, however, in going
back when we know there is nothing
more to do over here, and if we had
gone to the states with the others il
would only mean another trip back il
a crowded boat little later anyway.
We are not getting more than two OIL

RED TAPE, BUT A HEART.
Thoughtful Deeds of Officers in Ameri
can Army and Navy,

Hardly had st. Johnsbury received
the news of the sinking of the Coy
ington Saturday morning when Mrs.
from the navy department that her
son, Ensign Moves, was uninjured
when the transport was sunk. The
anxiety of a mother was Immediately
relieved and her gratitude at such
thoughtfulness can hardly be imagined.
Soon after the death of Private
Moore of Fitzdale the grief stricken
mother, Mrs. Corcorln, received a
most sympathetic letter from an Off
ctr in the American Expeditionary
Force speaking in highest praise of
her son s bravery and his supreme sac
rifice
And out of his great heart Chaplain
Moody has just written Mrs. William
Knapp and extended sympathy for her
in the loss of her brave boy Though
this was the private act of a towns
man it undoubtedly is a part of the
program of the A. E. f. to keep in
close touch with relatives when aeei
dent or death ensues.
1t often seems as if the army and
navy were wrapped up in so much rec
tape that results were slow There is
red tape in both departments, but
above all, thank God, there is heart
and the folks at home may rest as
sured that the boys overseas are vel
cared for and if the supreme sacri
flee comes, or great danger, they vii
be promptly notified in manner thai
is sympathetic and Christian.-St
