The houses here are all of stone ana
appear to be very old and are rooieu
with slate. The streets are very crook
cd and irregular and appear TO nave
been built to conform with the Duiid-
ings and in many cases the Sidewalk
keens getting narrower until they DIS
appear into the building. The streets
are paved with stones.
Ar the present time nearly every
man YOU see is In uniform and people
wearing mourning. 49,.
THE American troops make the
French sit up and take notice as they
march too and fro with their smart
and snappy actions and each Ameri-
can seems to stick his head In the ar
with the appearance of saying: do
Won know who / am--Well, l Delong
to Uncle SAM"
If makes q fellows blood Jingle at
retreat when all is quiet except the
band and to see "Old Glory" slowly
come down with the appearance OF
protesting and to see every man stand
ing erect and at present arms 10 40
homage to the flag and all that IL
stands for and you kind OF WONDER
how the fellows at home feel wnen
they should be over here with us.
We have a fine big Y. M. Q. A here
now and 1t Is sure wonderful place
for us when we are too far from home
and those who we are thinking OF al
ways. Whenever you enter the Y. M
c. A. there is the feeling that you are
little nearer home than you were as
the attendants are always kind and
friendly and 1 tell you many letters
are written there that otherwise would
have been neglected. A fellow kind OF
thinks more Of the best Of things when
he is under the influence of the Y. M.
G. A.
The folks at home can make no mis-
take in doing all they can to aid the
Red Cross and the Y M G A, as the
work they are doing is much more
important than people realize.
Thru the aid Of the ~" we hear
many of Americas most noted musi-
clans and readers and this has Won
derful influence to keep up the morale
of the forces in France. Not long ago
l had the good fortune to make quite
trip and visited several towns and
as the weather was very cold we were
anxious to find warm place so the
Provost Officer directed us to the Y
N. c. A., and say, If the folks at home
could see the way we were made to
! feel at home there would never be any
question about the good 1t as doing
We were cold and hungry and as soor
as we came in the man In charge made
room for us by the stove and insisted
on bringing us a cup Of hot chocolate
and sat down and began to chat will
us and when it was train time / was
very sorry that / had to leave tht
/ place as 1 never felt more to home IL
my life.
| All Of the boys Of Co e are in fine
health and are working hard.
/ see the Eagles took $500 in Liber
| ty bonds. 1t made me feel good anl
I wish / could thank each and every
member for it. Some people knOcl
the Eagles but when it comes to back
ing "Old Glory" we take no back seats
} Higgs is in the 146th f. A. but
never heard from him since we brok'
up in Camp Greene, N. @.
/ must close with best regards Il
you and again thanking you for you
very kind thoughts and actions in GU
behalf, am,
Your friend,
