SanlInies Column

The editor il in receipt Of a very
interesting card from Sergeant A. +.
White from cover there" giving us
some idea Of the beauties Of the sur
roundings where he is. He il well
and apparently enjoying the soldier
life immensely.
The Arvada Enterprise was the
INST piece Of mail matter to reach
Pvt Arthur Kaler after his arrival in
France, it having followed him out
there from Camp Levitt Arthur was
greatly pleased to heir from home
in that far-of land and will appre-
ciate letters from his friends.
In = letter to his folks, Arthur
writes some very interesting things
Of his trip over, saying that 1t GER
tainly did seem good to set foot on
land again after being on the water
road in one Of the "dinky" box-cars.
but said the trip was not bad at that,
and he foAnd the country most beau
tiful, with the flowers in bloom and
everything green and nice. It rained,
however, before they got their camp
settled, but that made no difference
~ far ~ the operations were con-
eerned. He says: "this is a great
wine part of the world and you can
see vineyard after vineyard all along
the way. and barrels in some places.
Instead Of building houses, they dig
into the sides of the hills and put in
windows and doors and build CHM
neys, and live In them, having their
wine cellars down below. On the hill
tops and along the river banks we
saw some old castles and I suppose
some Of them have q big history that
! may at one time have read about.
All Of the towns are old ones, the
the streets are narrow and the build
ings are old-style, and great many
ruins are to be seen.
"The Y: M. c. A. Is In every camp
and they have something doing each
night. l heard . very good talk by
a fellow from New Haven, Conn, and
one night they had = vaudeville show
BY some players from Paris, and an.
other night q band concert by one Of
the bands from the eamp.
In speaking Of the mails he said"l
got The Enterprise in my first mail,
March 20. which had followed me all
the way from Camp Lewis. I sure
was glad to get Il. You tell Mr.. Mob
erly that he was the first to reach me
in France. One Of the boys got four
or Ave Denver Posts Of around the
first Of April dates. We get to see
the European editions Of the New
York papers that are printed in Paris
50 We keep pretty well posted on
what Is going on N = general way,
but the home town and the home
state news are the ones that we all
want.
IT sure is wonderful to see what
Uncle Sam Il doing and what he IL
going to do for France. It Is hard to
realize what b going on here, In .
general way. TO look at this coun.
try one would never know that . war
was going On.
1.-THE boys have been enjoying
themselves today by going in swim.
ming IN . stream that b near and Il
sure feels fine to get cooled OF. for It
does Eet hot here, and yea, there are
Of bugs flying around.
