how it happened, tho briefly.
Several days ago my section was

first day up there | was notcn duty

about life over here. The first
thing you will want to hear is that
l am we'll and getting along well.
At present we are not doing mu CD
l will be glad when we get down to
work.
This afternoon quite number
of us visited one of the chauteaux

1t was a magnificent place, belong
ing to Countess 1t was sur

have been surprised to find the
France of the present time resem-
bling so closely the France OF Medi
aeval days as found in history
However | understand the people
ia this section are more primitive
than they are in other sections OF
France. ! have been particularly
struck by the lack of modern con-
veniences.
This afternoon. while on our
little hike we came to place when
Two old men and two old women
were making hay. | took the
fork and threw up few loads, so
| can say I made hay in the year
1918.
The houses are all made of stone;
as a rule we find 8 or 4 or more
together and are surrounded by
stone walls. There are no fences
but walls made of dirt and stone
and numerous hedges. Our camp
is situated near one of Napoleons
strongholds. The farms here are
very small but every inch is under
cultivation. This seems to be
mostly ap agricultural district The
outlook for crops is good; l can see
no reason for anyone going hungry
but think most of our supplies
come from the us.
Our forces are still making gains.
They all say the Americans are
wonderful fighters, the Germans
have found this out and they will
certainly continue to be impressed
by the fact. Last night we at
tended an entertainment given by
the Y. M C. A, and Red Cross
on all sides.
After supper this evening three
of US walked up a little hill, near
our tent, which resembled yerg
much the hill near the chapel.
Everywhere | am seeing something
TO remind me of home. | will be
so relieved when l can get a letter
from home and know you are well.
7 have gotten some souvenirs
and will have a collection by the
time l set sail for my native land.
1t is getting dark so will say
good night.
With lots of love,
Your devoted son.

however, they want only operatives
from the training school,. In this
